            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>AI text to 3D Art.</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VbFtUSp_UydWHzDdJ8llcQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Hello Community!</p><p>We are sure that you guys would want to know, what we have been doing beside the major updates which we are pushing to the current open beta of Spark Era.</p><p>Our team worked effortlessly to create a usable pipeline to complete/conquer 3D generation. We observed that many people with similar mindsets in this field were attempting to do the same. We wish that by open-sourcing this repository, rather than everyone having to start from scratch, it would serve as a foundation for people to share their discoveries and make improvements on top of what we built, thus accelerating the process.</p><p>Those who are knew, we are Firework Games Entertainment Limited, a Hong Kong-based game developer, we are contributing to the revolutionizing the gaming industry by integrating the world’s first AI-powered personalized battle companion in our upcoming game, Spark Era. The team behind the game has been working on natural language processing (NLP) and 3D generative arts to bring this revolutionary AI to life.</p><p>As a result of their hard work, the team has decided to open-source the code for their text-to-3D AI model on Github. This will allow developers and enthusiasts alike to contribute and also use the code for their own projects.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F_44Bin3q0qU%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_44Bin3q0qU&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F_44Bin3q0qU%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/df2942043222bbe8b2dae62c0aa5dfce/href">https://medium.com/media/df2942043222bbe8b2dae62c0aa5dfce/href</a></iframe><p>The integration of an advanced AI companion in Spark Era takes NPCs (non-player characters) to a whole new level. Similar to J.A.R.V.I.S in the Iron Man movies, the AI companion in Spark Era will guide players through the game, providing personalized support and assistance, once the AI is fully matured.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*5T5Zlwv1fZY0yQkUHQYj1A.jpeg" /></figure><p>The open sourcing of this code is a significant step forward in the development of AI in the gaming industry. By making the code available to the public, Firework Games invites collaboration and innovation from the broader developer community. This will accelerate the advancement of AI in gaming and could lead to the creation of even more advanced and realistic AI companions in future games.</p><p>In summary, by publishing the text-to-3D AI model code on Github, we seeks to advance the use of AI in creating ultra-realistic in-game experiences through open-source industry collaboration.</p><p>The pipeline was made possible by the amazing work by carson-katri/dream-textures. @openAI Point-E, <a href="https://medium.com/u/ab69c39a85e1">NVIDIA AI</a> kaolin DMTet..</p><p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/Firework-Games-AI-Division/dmt-meshes/releases/tag/0.0.1">https://github.com/Firework-Games-AI-Division/dmt-meshes/releases/tag/0.0.1</a></p><p>Thank you all for the time, to read through this.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=331778c429cb" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, Community!</p><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA Logo: with Galaxy view" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*GWmlLBlxwgl8IwIG" /></figure><p>With our initial NFT offering (INO) coming up on August 8th, we thought we’d share a bit more about the benefits available to early adopter Spark Era NFT holders.</p><h3><strong>NFT’s in SPARK ERA</strong></h3><p>In Spark Era, we utilize blockchain technology to ensure scarcity and provable ownership of in-game assets. Gamers who wish to take advantage of the benefits available through Web 3.0 technology will be able to buy, sell, trade or rent assets through the in-game marketplace. Additionally, players will be able to access rewards opportunities through their gameplay, including participation in daily battles and challenges, as well as eSports tournaments and guild battles.</p><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA: Space Ship NFT — Trailblazer" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*rdsZG28-I1HpLEhu" /></figure><p>NFT assets in the game will include spaceships, characters, character gear, weapons and spaceship upgrades, personalized parts, special usage protocols and mothership upgrades.</p><p><strong>The NFTs that will be available through the INO will be our First Edition Spaceships.</strong></p><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — FIRST EDITION SPACESHIPS" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/990/1*zv0G1HGPsaioTDVivVU54g.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — FIRST EDITION SPACESHIPS" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/986/1*OU9jaJ7TJ2opVNt6D7aNwg.png" /></figure><h3><strong>Spaceships in Battles</strong></h3><p>Since SPARK ERA is the first ever space-based battle-royale MMO title, it might be a little self-explanatory that a spaceship will be required to play the game.</p><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — Battle ground environment" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*h4lkUd80PLyLJuWi" /></figure><p>Following the storyline of the game’s four factions, gamers will use their spaceship to engage other players in battles to the death, for glory, interplanetary domination and the top spot on the game leaderboard.</p><p>Battles will take place in real-time, with players dodging their opponents’ attacks, as well as powerful cosmic gamma-ray blasts that can destroy their ship and end their game. With dense meteorite belts, inhabited space stations, planets and black holes, along with the debris and wreckage of countless spacecraft from previous battles, gamers will be able to experience stunningly realistic visuals of the virtual universe on mobile, PC and eventually in VR.</p><h3><strong>First Edition SPARK ERA Spaceship NFT Collection Utilities and Perks</strong></h3><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — FIRST EDITION SPACESHIPS Loot box" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*5SVLCcLcfKptZgfl" /></figure><p>This collection will feature sixteen different 3D spaceship models with common, rare, epic or legendary rarity ratings. The models range from light stealth vehicles to heavy combat and transport units, with varying power ratings and utilities. Ships will be upgradable with power-ups such as weapons, shields and boosts, which are NFT assets that players will be able to earn through game-play.</p><p><strong>Benefits and Utilities<br></strong>Let’s take a look at the utilities and available benefits of owning a <strong>First Edition Spark Era Spaceship NFT</strong> below:</p><ul><li><strong>10% less wear-off </strong>— More gameplay time, more opportunities to earn rewards and more fun!</li><li><strong>Access to our Character AI on Discord</strong> — The opportunity to interact with Spark Era’s AI-enhanced NPCs in Discord, to learn about the Spark Era game story through the characters’ conversations.</li><li><strong>Whitelisted for closed beta testing</strong> — NFT owners will be able to participate in the closed testing of the Spark Era game beta version set to go live in August.</li><li><strong>First Edition SPARK ERA Pioneer commemorative NFT collection</strong> — This collection will only be issued once and will never be offered again.</li><li><strong>Referral code with 5% rebate (in stablecoins) for all future Spark Era</strong> <strong>NFTs</strong> — Can be shared with friends, colleagues, neighbors and pets (who knows, your dog might enjoy space battle-royale games)</li></ul><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — Characters" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/762/0*ysc-lISxBkpqx6dQ" /></figure><p>Since we mentioned our AI-enhanced NPCs, let’s check out a conversation between the non-player characters from our Discord server that showcases the abilities of applied reinforcement learning in action. These characters will play a vital role in how each player experiences Spark Era and will bring a real-life-like element that has never been available in a game before.</p><figure><img alt="SPARK ERA — AI NPC Chat log" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/618/0*dB15qqWrTEyvvA4j" /></figure><p>To learn more about how AI-enhanced NPCs will fit into Spark Era’s gameplay, you can check out this detailed <a href="http://t.co/WzBFUJFbSW">article</a>.</p><p>Please stay tuned to the Spark Era social media channels to stay up to date with all our announcements as we get closer to our INO and the official launch of the game later this month.</p><p><strong>About Us</strong></p><p>Firework Games is a game development company committed to using cutting-edge technology in its games.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*8sbOilXpn60uRnSR" /></figure><p>In today’s article, we’ll explore how AI technology will fit into the Spark Era gameplay experience through NPCs and how gamers can gain early access to interact with our AI cutting-edge technology.</p><p>We’re also going to dive into some of the details on our spaceship and character NFTs as we gear up for our upcoming INO.</p><p><strong>Introducing AI-enhanced NPCs</strong></p><p>In our <a href="http://link.medium.com/I95OvviWRqb">previous article</a>, we introduced our revolutionary approach to artificial intelligence. We outlined how we envision the technology enabling us to offer a truly unique experience that’s unlike any other game on the market, traditional or blockchain-based.</p><p>By integrating accelerated deep reinforcement learning and embodiment hypothesis in our game development, we will be able to create AI-enhanced characters and environments that will ‘feel and act’ as close to real-life as possible.</p><p>Now, let’s take a look at how AI will fit into the game through non-player characters.</p><p><strong>Bringing an NPC to Life</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*Mi8cwU0gUvvTZKQQ" /></figure><p>Bringing a character to life begins with a Natural Language Processing/Understanding model or NLP (NLU).</p><p>The NLP (NLU) is a neural network model with incredible abilities, by fine tuning and training through our unique dataset. This process adds the information and understanding gleaned through the previously mentioned accelerated deep reinforcement learning. The enhanced NLP is then added to a character, giving the character behavioural properties and a ‘world view.’</p><p><strong>NPC Companions In the Game</strong></p><p>AI-enhanced NPCs will play a vital role in how gamers experience Spark Era by helping them gain a complete understanding of the game, along with the objectives and stories of their respective roles.</p><p>These in-game companions will not only educate but will act as an assistant, helping streamline game progression while adapting and learning by observing real-time decisions made by the user. AI will allow the NPC companion to increase its ‘knowledge’ through the observation of a player’s habits and strategies.</p><p>Based on the gamer’s decisions and the circumstances present in various situations, the AI will provide suggestions such as weapons upgrades, power-ups, and other steps to help players take the best path forward in the game.</p><p>Thus, the AI assistant will not only add to the realistic feel and experience in the game but will also remove the necessity for players to try to find and endlessly scan through lists and cheat sheets to determine which upgrade or move is the most beneficial at any given time.</p><p>Gamers will be able to experience a working model of an AI-enhanced assistant in the game as early as September of this year.</p><p><strong>Proof-of-Concept Characters</strong></p><p>Currently, we have created four proof-of-concept characters that showcase the successful early-stage integration of our AI technology.</p><p>We’ve set up a private section in our Discord server, where these characters have the ability to carry a conversation, reacting with different responses based on questions and topics related to their role and race.</p><p>While the purpose of the characters at this point is to educate users on their respective races, they are able to react appropriately…..or sometimes inappropriately, if need be, to inquiries, depending on the direction one attempts to take the conversation.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*iW-XrR2MyOOn8VAL" /></figure><p>Additionally, we will have an AI<strong> experiment ‘playground’</strong> set up shortly in Discord that will allow gamers to interact with our AI-enhanced concept NPCs in a game setting.</p><p><strong>How To Gain Early Access To Our AI Characters</strong></p><p>Participants in our upcoming initial NFT offering (INO) will automatically gain access to the AI characters in our Discord server and the space station playground.</p><p>Since we’re on the topic, let’s take a look at some of the INO details and NFTs that will be available through our NFT offering.</p><p><strong>Initial NFT Offering and NFTs</strong></p><p>Although we don’t have a confirmed date yet for the INO, we can share some of the details related to the NFTs that will be featured in the sale.</p><p>Both character and spaceship loot boxes will be available through the offering. The INO will feature 3000 spaceships and 2000 character NFT loot boxes.</p><p><strong>Character Lootboxes</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*0pV_hrrC1M682KZv" /></figure><p>Character loot boxes will be available in four classes; <strong>common, rare, epic </strong>and<strong> legendary</strong>. Each class will have five hundred loot boxes.</p><p>While each loot box level will have a chance of containing a high rarity level NFT, this percentage chance increases with the level of the loot box. So, in this scenario, a legendary box has a higher percentage chance of containing a high rarity level NFT than an epic box, while an epic loot box has a higher percentage chance than a rare box, and so on.</p><p>Character NFTs belong to one of the game’s four factions; <strong>Confederation of Earth, Empire of Amda, Esman Zerg </strong>and <strong>Titans(Eternal Protoss)</strong>. These characters play different roles in the game, ranging from <strong>Common Soldier </strong>and<strong> Star Soldier </strong>to<strong> Scientist, Commander </strong>and<strong> Leader</strong>. All character cards, except for Leaders, fall into one of three material subcategories; <strong>Bronze, Silver </strong>or<strong> Gold</strong>, which affects their power score.</p><p><strong>Spaceship NFTs</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*M8uyTXfFJX_ZwwQS" /></figure><p>Spaceship NFTs encompass nineteen 3D models, each with unique purposes and functions, featuring different power levels and belonging to one of the following rarity levels; <strong>common, rare, epic </strong>or<strong> legendary</strong>.</p><p>INO participants will be able to acquire a first edition spaceship NFT which has a 10% decrease on the wear off compared to post-INO buyers.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>To summarize, our AI features will continue to advance and evolve with our game development, contributing valuable insights to the game while creating an individually unique and immersive real-life-like environment for players. Our upcoming initial NFT offering will not only provide access to in-game assets, but will also include early access to our AI-enhanced companions in our Discord server and upcoming space station AI playground.</p><p><strong>We will share an INO date and host platform soon. Please follow our social media channels to stay up to date.</strong></p><p><strong>About Us</strong></p><p>Firework Games is a decentralized self-development and release platform for blockchain games.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*M2KL8b3rgU5QKURr" /></figure><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Imagine that you have the power to create your own world, in which you will be the main character. What role would you choose if you had this ability? Would you want to go back in time and play like a King of France in the 15th century or a superhero who strives to save humanity, or would you rather play as a hero or evil or something in between from the future who is attempting to conquer space? The possibilities are endless.</p><p>In a move that is sure to shake up the gaming industry, Firework Games AI labs have announced the completion of its first milestone, on its aggressive expansion of the Metaverse. By using artificial intelligence to generate unique NPCs (non-player characters), the company is attempting to build a virtual world where you may interact based on your prior activity. The researchers utilized embodiment theory to build a new breed of AI NPCs, and through accelerated deep reinforcement learning AI modules, what might have taken years was accomplished in just a few months.</p><p>Users’ Metaverse experiences will be more personalized and immersive as a result of this innovation. The company’s goal is to create simulations on-demand based on users’ previous behavior, to pre-emptively anticipate and tailor simulations to their specific desire. Ranging from NPCs’ behavior, color, and style of environment theme are just a few of the factors.</p><p>The company is combining the use of Accelerated Deep Reinforcement Learning Artificial Intelligent Module and Embodiment hypothesis on game development. This will allow AIs to construct more realistic environments and human-like characters. This combination enables Firework Games to create more life-like, and immersive experiences on both games and social applications. The accelerated deep reinforcement learning artificial intelligence module will be used to train AI using synthetic data. Synthetic data is data that is generated by algorithms rather than being collected from real-world sources. This will allow AIs to learn faster and be more accurate in their representation of the world.</p><p>The researchers opted for the westward expansion and settlement of the American West in the late 1800s as a setting since it resonates with HBO’s famous series “Westworld.” An illustration of how Human and Artificial Intelligence play out.</p><h3><strong>Deep Dive into the unknown</strong></h3><h4><strong>What is the Embodiment hypothesis?</strong></h4><p>The Embodiment hypothesis claims that the mind is not only embodied but also extended in the world. The hypothesis has its roots in artificial intelligence and cognitive science, and it has been used to explain a wide range of phenomena, from simple motor tasks to social cognition. Our AI labs’ have been researching how artificial intelligence can be used to create more realistic environments and human-like characters.</p><h3><strong>Approach for implementation</strong></h3><p>High-level overview:</p><p><strong>1.</strong> Allow a neural network to be inserted into the virtual world (instance) and have human senses added to the AI, and the AI will then engage with a variety of items and settings in the environment.</p><p>○ <strong>Output:</strong> The AI’s sensory input allows us to teach it to interact with a broad range of items and environments, label, and even produce synthetic data while improving the AI’s capacity to generate comparable settings. The AI searches and labels objects in the virtual world automatically.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*5EpRkTe8nCGqXFAy" /></figure><p><strong>2.</strong> The AI will be trained in a variety of locations and games simultaneously to learn intelligent behavior through accelerated deep reinforcement learning. The AI’s neural network may comprehend human behavior and react realistically to humans in real-time as a result of exposure to human behavior. The more it is exposed to humans, the closer it gets to looking and acting like one.</p><p>○ <strong>Expected results</strong>: realistic human-level NPCs will be generated, as well as behavior. The AI’s capacity to produce comparable yet distinct settings is enhanced by the addition of different environments. At this stage, we anticipate that AI-controlled NPC actions will be indistinguishable from regular people.</p><p><strong>3. </strong>Though the AI’s objective will be defined by the director, they have a well-defined degree of freedom to be creative. However, in the end, the narrative will adhere to the director’s script. The game’s story can be changed at any time by the game director, and different endings may result based on the AI’s goals. As more user data is taken into account, the AI’s scope of creativity will grow and the story depicted by the AI will be more sophisticated.</p><p>○ <strong>Expected results</strong>: the director can modify the storyline and have different ending scenarios for each NPC. The NPCs will automatically take reasonable action to fulfill their mission given their personality, their interaction with humans, and other NPCs. This will enable a whole new approach to creating games. The game will have a high value of re-playable as every round of the game will expose the player to a new story path.</p><h3><strong>The ongoing experiment</strong></h3><p>The ongoing experiment comprises two main parts:</p><p>The first element is the assertion that the mind is embodied, implying not only that it isn’t a brain in a vat, but also that it is intimately connected to the body. The second component claims that the mind is extended, which means it makes use of environmental clues to guide its choices.</p><p>One of the key features is that it explains how artificial intelligence can be used to create more realistic environments and human-like characters. By using environmental cues, AIs can create NPCs that are more believable and life-like.</p><ol><li><strong>Environment: </strong>The westward expansion and occupation of the American West in the late 1800s. We chose this timeline as it resonates with the famous TV show “Westworld”. Another advantage is that because this world provides a never-ending variety of scenarios for players, we can train the AIs so they don’t overfit to one scenario, ensuring that players have an infinite number of alternate environments during this era.</li><li><strong>Characters’ sensorimotor: </strong>Initially the characters have their own personalities based on the story script. The AI is equipped with the vision and the sonic is to interact with the original characters and the environment: the characters observe the environment and listen to the surrounding environment. The AI will then change their view based on the action of other characters or humans and what they listen to, changing their perception of the people they interact with.</li></ol><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*L8eHfcCHmW_nwzn0" /><figcaption>Figure 1.

Sound map visualization is implemented in the environment. When the AI detects the sound, it will hear it. It will gradually categorize with various sounds and respond to what the reward is based on what it hears.</figcaption></figure><p>The team believes that their work will have a significant impact on how artificial intelligence is used in games and other simulations. The use of AI in games has been increasing steadily over the past few years. However, most AI-powered games still rely on pre-scripted events and simple rules to create their gameplay. This research represents a significant step forward in the use of AI to create more realistic and believable virtual worlds.</p><p>This new approach is revolutionary since it establishes a common thread that would tie together otherwise unrelated pieces of content, and construct an entire game using only this technique, providing a finished product that reflects one’s personal style and theme. Although there may be more than one way to do so, depending on your skill level as well as your choice of tools, we can generate as many simulations as needed. Allowing players to engage in the simulation of their desire.</p><p>Firework Games’ core is its innovative team, with experts from various backgrounds (former Tencent and NetEase game designers and artists, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and major financial institution like executive director of investment bank and Ex trader of top hedge fund) aiming to write a new chapter in not only gaming but also the metaverse. Unlike other startups, Firework Games has a research division at its inception stage; the company aims to step foot among the giants and establish a distinct niche for itself.</p><h3>About Us</h3><p>Firework Games is a decentralized self-development and release platform for blockchain games.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The world’s first 3D galactic PUBG-style,</h3><h3>VR-ready blockchain mobile game.</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*sY9Wi4CHS-8tBiVg" /><figcaption>Spark Era: Gearup for Wars</figcaption></figure><p>Spark Era is an immersive VR-ready, 3D mobile game that takes place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world where the last humans from Earth are fighting for survival while competing against the other three factions. The game is set in a galactic environment and features both PvE and PvP gameplay. Players can team up with other players, and ultimately battle their ways in the harsh conditions of the universe. Spark Era is built on top of the Unity engine and utilizes blockchain technology to create a truly decentralized gaming experience. The game will be available in May 2022 on iOS, Android, VR, and later on the PC.</p><h3>I. GEARUP FOR WARS</h3><h4>1. Gameplay introduction</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*YbHlbCgJL_lfhTjz" /><figcaption>Spark Era: Signup screen</figcaption></figure><p>Following the narrative of the four factions’ interplanetary warfare, there will be a variety of battlegrounds in which players can view different stunning space phenomena in VR. The starry sky is full of debris and wreckage.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*Yh-kZyf8cO2aytz1" /><figcaption>Spark Era: Gearup for Wars screenshot</figcaption></figure><p>Dense meteorite belts, gas giant planets, black holes, space stations that harbor life, and the wrecks of spacecraft and space stations, drifting alone in the starry sky, suggest a high-intensity conflict has erupted. Players may freely move between resource areas belonging to separate factions, and they could even be drawn into a perplexing wormhole. All of these features will be accessible by controlling your personalized spacecraft.</p><h4>2. Game Rules</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*OS-chAZDacR9q5Jb" /></figure><p><strong>The basic rules are as follows:</strong></p><p>1. Each battle will have a time limit. There are numerous powerful gamma-ray bursts in the depths of space. If you are exposed to these gamma-ray bursts, your ship will be badly damaged and ultimately destroyed. Sensors on your spaceship will alert you to the presence of these gamma-ray bursts by sending an alarm to your helmet HUD. To seek safety, enter the safe zone which will be shown on your holo-map.</p><p>2. Your shots will first blast the energy shield of an enemy ship during combat, after a set amount of damage, the shield will be destroyed, and direct damage will be applied to the opponent’s ship (health).</p><p>3. Recovery in the automatic recovery state occurs if you flee from an enemy attack and avoid their pursuit. Please note that although the spaceship’s shield will gradually recover, not your health, and if your shield is destroyed, recovery will not be initiated.</p><p>4. When you destroy an opponent’s spacecraft, you can collect and equip his NFT weapons from the debris. During combat, you may test out the considerably powerful weapons if your adversary has strong weapons. These guns, on the other hand, are only available for a limited time. When the fight is over, these seized pieces of equipment will be removed from your inventory.</p><p>5. Each player’s performance will be recorded in the Leaderboard, prizes will be given to players who enter the winning list, and rewards for each round can include fire tokens or ship modifications, NFTs, or other collectibles from our metaverse.</p><p>In summary, kill as many enemies as possible and survive to the end.</p><h4>3. Various forms of warfare</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*tL-uO7wrgTNsU86Q" /><figcaption>Spark Era: Forms of Warfare</figcaption></figure><p>A variety of team formation methods are provided. The fundamental rule applies, but instead of fighting alone, players have the option to fight in a number of modes.</p><p><strong>Temporary allies</strong>: This mode allows players to join forces as a group of two or four and fight as a temporary ensemble.</p><p><strong>Battle of the Guilds</strong>: Guilds can wager against other guilds, to engage in the wagering mode, you must be in a guild, x amount of fire will be needed and the opponents will also match with the equal amount. The winning guild will be rewarded with the pool of fire in the wager. (A small percentage of fire will be applied as a fee)</p><p><strong>Weekly competitions</strong> will be held in Esports mode. Players will compete in successive battles until the last one remaining. The survivor of each round receives a reward, and the stakes increase with each round.</p><p>No action is required from players as we release new modes throughout our updates.</p><h3>II. Ship customization</h3><h4>1. Customizable parts and weapons</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*CJ90F3NzI07FVduz" /><figcaption>You can customize your interstellar ships with parts and weapons</figcaption></figure><p>The player may choose their own NFT ship to fight in the battle. Ships have varying levels of speed, attack rate, shield strength, and health. The following are the settings for NFT spaceship guidelines. There could be some variation from the final release, however.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*5a903DiXstmntrHM" /><figcaption>Collect your favorite interstellar ships!</figcaption></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZEw1qnyNUhMVBuOQyRlMHA.png" /><figcaption>Interstellar ship statistics</figcaption></figure><p>At the same time, we may outfit the spacecraft with a variety of spacecraft weapons and equipment. These add-ons include energy engines, quantum shields, laser cannons, and other gadgets. They give the spacecraft various characteristics such as speed, shield strength, damage capability, and so on. There are numerous combinations listed below, allowing players to personalize their ships, allowing different players to achieve the best suitable result correlated to their fighting style.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*-eJ1pNKqwXQnxPu4W1PZzw.png" /><figcaption>Ship upgradable devices</figcaption></figure><h4><strong>2. Energy Core distribution System</strong></h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*vyhk48lmW5H4-8-X" /></figure><p>Aside from enhancing your ship, Core energy can also be diverted into three power systems: <strong>Engine Power</strong>, <strong>Weapon Power</strong>, and <strong>Shield Power</strong>.</p><p>There is a set amount of power available to your starfighter that is distributed across these systems. The power is allocated equally among the systems by default. However, you may divert resources to any system as needed in order to give it an advantage.</p><p>For example: If you want to go even faster, for example, you may draw power from the primary weapons and shields and send it to the engines, allowing you to reach your top speed. It’s also important to bear in mind that boosting the power of a system improves its advantage, but the performance of other systems is diminished.</p><h3><strong>III. DIY Workshop — Monetize your creation</strong></h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*dU5AzpY3JiSn3iWA" /></figure><p>In the future update, we will create an environment where players will be able to customize their own parts with a great degree of freedom, mint them into NFTs, and sell it on our NFT market!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=344358bd59ab" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/fireworkgames/spark-era-gearup-for-wars-344358bd59ab">SPARK ERA: GEARUP FOR WARS</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/fireworkgames">FireworkGames</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
