Alpha Trial Tournaments Allow Gamers to Win Giveaways and Interact with CEO During Live Streams of Each Game Build
COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gamescom -- At Gamescom today, Mino Games unveiled the official alpha version of Dimensionals, a next generation gaming franchise that will eventually feature the first character-driven RPG (role-playing game) to use A.I. to power unique, unscripted character interactions and real-time, shareable mods. Unlike conventional RPG franchises, Dimensionals will also feature limited edition collectors items like NFTs, toys, comics and trading cards to deliver the most compelling, personalized gaming experiences.
Today's modern gamers expect more engaging and personalized experiences that many traditional RPG franchises don't deliver, such as live streaming, modding, user-generated content, guilds and active Discord communities. Dimensionals will deliver on all of these aspects, including using A.I. tech to deliver the most compelling characters, interactive storylines, and personalized gameplay ever.
"Today's RPGs need a storytelling upgrade using the latest technology," said Sasha MacKinnon, co-founder and CEO of Mino Games. "Dimensionals is a character-driven franchise built for modern gamers on modern technology. Our mission is to build the next $100B gaming franchise that includes the game, cards, toys, digital collectables, comics, an animated TV series, and a wide variety of other merchandise. We're using A.I. and blockchain tech to connect all of these products so players can play, collect, own, compete, and create in ways that weren't possible before."
Dimensionals – Heroes of the Multiverse
Dimensionals is a fast paced, high stakes and action-packed RPG where players collect an army of unique heroes to save the multiverse. Gamers enter the Rift to battle enemies, explore new dimensions, recruit new Dimensionals, discover new stories, team up and compete for valuable collectors items. Designed to be live streamed, gamers will be able to create, play, and share their mods in real-time with other gamers.
In addition, players' heroes will truly take on a life of their own through A.I. Hero characters will have their own memories, unique personalities, and unscripted dialogue that evolve as gamers interact with them – making an entirely new way to experience RPGs.
In Dimensionals, NFTs are limited edition collectors items that can be used in the game and tie together every part of the gaming franchise, including the game, trading cards, toys, digital collectables, comics, the animated TV series, and other merchandise.
Alpha Trials
Starting in September this year, gamers can experience Dimensionals by competing for limited edition collectables in alpha trial tournaments while Mino Games' CEO, Sasha MacKinnon, live streams the new alpha build for each tournament on Discord. Every other week until mid November, Dimensionals will host alpha trial tournaments with a new raid, story, enemies and characters.
"We're engaging our community in a unique way. Our alpha trials are almost like a game show rather than a closed playtest," added MacKinnon. "You can play, compete, watch, chat with the developers, and win super rare Dimensionals NFTs – all live in Discord."
Mino Points & NFT holders of Eve
NFT holders of Eve, Dimensionals' mascot, are eligible to play and win giveaways (e.g., toys, in-game consumables, NFTs of heroes) in the alpha trials on Mac and Windows desktop apps.
During the alpha trials, players will compete for Mino Points, which can be earned daily by holding NFTs of Eves and Stones, and used to buy Eve NFTs and in-game items in the Mino Shop. Starting with the second alpha trial, the Mino Shop will allow players to place auction bids for exclusive items and in-game boosts.
NFT holders of Eve will get exclusive access to the first alpha trial, earn daily Mino Points, get additional referral codes to invite other players and earn more Mino Points, and get exclusive access to equips and abilities, channels, products and events in Dimensionals.
Dimensionals will be a cross-platform game available on desktop (Windows and Mac), mobile (iOS and Android), and major consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch). Mino Games will be releasing various A.I. and other features throughout this year and beyond. Gamers can learn more about Dimensionals here, and view the trailer here.
On Aug 24 at 10:45 am CEST, Mino Games' CEO Sasha MacKinnon will give a presentation, "How A.I. Can Change the Way We Play," in the Konrad-Adenauer-Saal at Koelnmesse's Congress Centre North. The presentation will also be streamed live on Twitch here.
Mino Games' exhibitor booth is at Entertainment Hall 10.1 - Stand: A041 on the first floor.
