In a detailed update on the official Discord channel, Gala Games’ CEO shared that their flagship Web3 farming game, Town Star, has been through several changes, especially with improvements to play-to-earn mechanics.
Gala Games’ CEO added that the onboarding of Mark Skaggs to lead Town Star was one of the most significant changes they’ve made. Skaggs is most notable for his efforts in leading Farmville, one of the most influential farming simulators and social media games. He played a significant role in maintaining Farmville’s 80 million user base and is now responsible for growing Town Star.
Eric ‘Benefactor’ Schiermeyer, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Gala Games, shared:
“I recall a conversation with Mark Zuckerberg in which he said people were coming to Facebook (NASDAQ:META) just to play Farmville to the tune of 100s of millions. In many ways, Facebook wouldn’t be the behemoth it is today if not for Mark Skaggs and Farmville. I’ve asked him to do it again. Who knows if we can actually get there, but if there was going to be a team to attempt it, this is the team.”
To grow Town Star into a massive game, Schiermeyer asserted that they must constantly make changes to improve the game, announcing the end of TOWN.
He later announced that Town Star nodes would begin to earn GALA through a burn mechanism similar to Spider Tanks. When users purchase certain items in the Town Star game with GALA, the mechanism will burn the GALA and remint a portion of the burned tokens to the nodes and the play-and-earn pool.
The CEO added that Gala Games would release a lite paper soon discussing the Town Star’s new play-to-earn mechanisms, tokenomics, and other important details.
The TOWN to Gala exchange is expected to happen sometime in the next 60 days, and users will have at least 180 days to make the exchange.
At the end of the announcement, Gala Games shared that there will be a playtest at the end of this month, and users can expect a full release in February. The new version will host the new earning feature and other features such as decorations, leveling up NFTs, and more.
Since Gala Games had paused the game’s reward distribution mechanism, Town Stars did not incentivize users to play the farm-building game. However, in the latest ecosystem update, Gala Games aims to reignite users’ interest by restarting the reward mechanism and significantly improving the game.
