- Mazrael, game advisor, reports progress in addressing technical glitches, setting stage for mobile version patch and P2E launch.
- Shiba Eternity, developed by PlaySide Studios, captivates over 500,000 players without yet stepping into the Web3 market.
The Shib Army, eagerly awaiting new developments, was recently thrilled by an announcement from Shytoshi Kusama regarding “Shiba Eternity”, the Shib ecosystem’s collectible card game (CCG).
Amid a period marked by a crypto bull run and the formation of key strategic partnerships, Kusama has kept in close touch, actively participating in discussions and monitoring the ecosystem’s developments, as mentioned in ETHNews.
During a interaction on the official Discord channel of Shibarium Tech, Kusama responded to an inquiry from Da Vinci, the server’s pseudonymous admin, about the testing phase for Shiba Eternity.
Moving away from the typical “SOON” response to queries on schedules or release dates, Kusama indicated “next quarter” as the timeframe for the game’s beta testing phase. This departure from vague timelines was received with enthusiasm, sparking celebrations among followers.
This news dovetails with updates from Mazrael, a Shiba Eternity advisor and grandmaster, who shared insights via Twitter on the game’s development progress. The team has been addressing and fixing previous technical issues encountered in the PlaySide build, with a focus on integrating these enhancements into an upcoming mobile version update. This step is viewed as a substantial progress point towards launching the Play-to-Earn (P2E) version of Shiba Eternity.
Testing of in house 🎮build is in progress!
Bugs that remained in the Playside build have been fixed by Shiba Inu Games team and will be pushed to mobile version along with other improvements in coming patch.
