The Pegaxy gameplay is currently in a 2D Version 1 model with race performance delivered through a RNG system (random number generator). This will soon be moving into a more graphically appealing 3D version with added skill and strategy-based elements.
Once the imminent move into Version 2 takes place the horse breeding will become even more important in terms of the better attributes for a horse through the rarer bloodlines.
There are several approaches to take when deciding how to get involved in Pegaxy:
- Buy a NFT horse to race (outlay cost to buy the NFT)
- Rent a horse to race (Smaller outlay cost to race someone else’s horse for a fixed period)
- Race as a Scholar (agree a percentage profit to race someone else’s horse)
- Breed horses to create offspring and use these horses to race
- Breed horses to create offspring and trade these horses on the open market
- Earn race yield from ownership of a Stadium (coming in Q2 2022)
Each race has 12 horses running, with the top 3 horses receiving prizes in the game reward token VIS. Currently all race positions are decided through RNG (Random Number Generator) but this will change with version 2 taking into consideration factors such as: changing environment/stadium conditions, which are linked to the attributes of each horse, the food given to a horse and the clothing gear apparel used on your horse.
The team is currently working on a manually player-controlled model for racing the horse which would add more of a skill element to the race. Once this model is implemented it will become more important to find a Skilled Scholar who can use the best strategies when managing your horse with its food and choosing which wearables to use for a particular race.
About Pegaxy
Pegaxy was founded by Ken Pham, Steve Nguyen and Corey Wilton. Each founder brings a different skillset to the project, but Steve has the most notable background being the founder of the large mobile gaming publisher Gamota (one of the biggest game publishers in Vietnam). The Pegaxy team has grown to over 50 people which shows great strength and depth to continue the roll out of the game.
The Pegaxy Beta launch was in Q4 2021 with its marketplace, rental system and breeding programmes also arriving at this time. The long-term predominant focus for gameplay will be the mobile version as this gives the most flexible way to grow the userbase and fits within the team’s previous experience.
The game development will target large scale rental programs and the growth of guilds participating in Pegaxy. This strategy will give access to the game for free to the greatest number of users.
A long-term vision is to give over governance of Pegaxy to the active community who will have control over development and game direction of Pegaxy in the future.
