Apeiron Updates: Dev Report October 2024
Hello, doods! It’s been a while since our last blog post. Since our Foonie writer loves Apeiron too much, they hospitalized her for some weeks and diagnosed her with hyper-doodism (that must be a real diagnosis, no doubt). The patient will never stop loving Apeiron, and we sure hope it's infectious! Anydoo… Let’s go through Apeiron’s developmental progress this month.
In this report, we’ll cover:

But before that, some important announcements:
Breeding and Apostle minting costs will be updated on Dec 4th 10am UTC. APRS breeding costs will be updated as shown below, while Apostle minting costs will increase by 1.5x across the board. Don’t miss your chance to breed and mint now!
We’ll be gathering questions on our Discord AMA channel and answer them in the next article as a FAQ session. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them there!
Now, let’s dive into the dev report!
Community
Ecosystem Leaderboard
Our Ecosystem Leaderboard has begun! Earn points by completing actions including reforging Apostle NFTs from Planets, Angelizing (minting) Apostle NFTs from Planets, and Planet Breeding to accumulate points and climb the leaderboard. Leaderboard rewards include $APRS, Apostle Tickets, Dungeon Tickets, and Battlepass levels. Besides, there are milestone rewards according to your accumulated points, including Golden Apostle Tickets, APRM, Doodelic Wings, ANIMUS, and Booty Hours. For in-depth details, refer to our Discord announcement.
For newcomer doods, here’s a brief introduction to APRM:
APRM is the premium in-game soul-bound currency used for seasonal battle passes and in-store purchases, including renting in-game Planets and Apostles! APRM can be obtained in two ways:
APRS can be converted into APRM, at a tentative rate of 1 APRS to 1 APRM.
APRM will be purchasable directly via in-app purchases (IAP), at a tentative rate of 1 USD to 1 APRM.
APRS staking will be available starting from Nov 18th. You may stake your APRS to gain orderly points, which enables you to unlock more items purchasable using APRS.
The Ecosystem Leaderboard will last until Dec 3rd 10am UTC. After this Ecosystem Leaderboard ends, breeding and Apostle minting costs will increase (Dec 4th 10am UTC) - you may refer to the announcement above. If you’re planning to breed and mint during this time, you can earn some rewards along the way!
New Bug Reporting Flow
To facilitate the bug reporting process, our community team has come up with a new bug reporting flow for enthusiastic doods to report bugs by submitting a ticket with specific information about the bug they think they've found. Then, our wranglers will swiftly check the ticket and try to recreate the bug. If the recreation succeeds, the bug will be added to GitHub, where the devs will check and fix it. Users will also be able to check the progress of bugs on GitHub. With a more organized process, we believe it will be more efficient for bug fixing, and we’re thankful for every dood who makes an effort to polish our game!
Dev
S4 Pre-Season Leaderboard
Aside from Dood Halos being refreshed for PvE dungeon game mode, the PvP game mode has just started the S4 Pre-Season Leaderboard! We will be taking a portion of the remaining $APRS from the Season 3 prize pool and putting it into the reward pool of this leaderboard. 30K APRS will be distributed among the top 250:
The leaderboard will last until Dec 4th 10AM UTC. Wish you godspeed, godlings! Climb the leaderboard and win your APRS. However, remember not to participate in win-trading. Such a boodish behavior is not tolerated, and you’ll face the consequences!
Boons Launched
With this Pre-Season 4 Leaderboard, we have also seen the introduction of public Boons testing! For those of you who are unaware, Boons are special passives that are unique to each planet type. All of the feedback during this time period is incredibly important as we balance things out, so please be vocal! If you’re interested in seeing what each Boon does, you can check out this document!
Free Planet and Mercenary System
The new Planet and Apostle Mercenary System will soon be available! The Planet System offers three planets per week which you can try for free (for a short period of time), or rent/reroll with APRM. This allows players to try out different temporary Planets (though unable to earn $ANIMA), like a 75/25 Air/Earth Karsts! Still, we encourage players to purchase their own Planets from our Marketplace so that they can enjoy the benefits of becoming a Planet Holder, while having the ability to earn $ANIMA per win!
On the other hand, the Apostle Mercenary System offers Apostles that you are able to rent. You may use ANIMUS to rent/reroll, or pay the ransom in APRM to then turn it into a planet NFT (making it mintable)! If you don’t have time to do Apostle hunting, try commanding these powerful mercenary doods!
Event Highlights
Gam3 Awards Nomination
Apeiron has been nominated to compete for the Gam3 Best Strategy Game Award this year! We’re proud of our strategic gameplay design, especially our very unique fast-paced real-time card battling system. Remember to vote for us here if you enjoy it as much as we do! The voting will end on Nov 15th at 23:59 UTC, don’t miss it!
Cyberport Event Highlight and Nomination
Apart from the Gam3 Awards, we have really exciting news to share – Apeiron won the highest score in the Web3.0 Demo Day event among 10 innovative Web3 projects and honorably gained🏆first place🏆! The Web3.0 Demo Day was an event held in Cyberport HK, co-hosted by Web3Hub Cyberport HK and BlockBooster, promoting the Web3 industry in Hong Kong. The judges especially appreciated the uniqueness and cute designs, looking forward to our potential. Our doody hearts are very much motivated and inspired by the judges’ recognition!
GEN3 Event Highlight
After the Tokyo Game Show, we didn’t let the Apeiron craze stop! Instead, we partnered with Animoca Brands and continued to spread the doody fun in K11 Musea HK during the GEN3 Event, showing off our game and dood mascot to everyone. Delightfully, we’ve welcomed so many gamers of all ages and young kids who were greatly interested in our game and dood plushies, figuring out ways to bring the cute plushies home.
We also invited people to join our Doodiween Speed Art Contest; for the top drawers, they could win our free dood plushies. Passersby were excited to sit down and create Halloween costumes for doods, and it was especially adorable to watch young kids sketching. Maybe some of them will become future Foonie artists? Who knows!
Here are some of the best drawings:
Upcoming Thailand Blockchain Week Genesis 2024
Next stop, Apeiron is going to participate in the Thailand Blockchain Week Genesis 2024 Event. Let us see your waving hands, Thailand doods!
The Thailand Blockchain Week, Genesis 2024, will be held from Nov 9th to 10th this year, located at the UOB LIVE, Emsphere in Bangkok. This time, Apeiron is sharing a game booth with Zentry, the biggest gaming guild in Thailand, who is also the Diamond sponsor for this event. This should bring our booth even more popularity! Oh, how we anticipate getting squeezed by our crowded fans…
As always, the booth will have an Apeiron game showcase, dood mascot, and stamp raffle event. Those who participate in our event will, of course, receive our merch as a prize, including dood plushies, pillows, and more! If you’re interested, you may buy your tickets from this website. Come and meet us! We’d love to meet our community members and players.
