Hey everyone!
Welcome back to another Seedworld dev update. Newcomers, welcome to the party! Don't miss the first eight; you can catch up on everything here.
In this update, we're diving deep into the world of combat! Buckle up and get ready to explore the battlefields of Seedworld.
Art Updates
Ancient Temple Ruins Bridge
Remember those ancient temple ruins we showed off a while back? You’d notice how they went from sketches to a 3D environment. Imagine yourself dashing through crumbling bridges, guns blazing with enemy fire ripping past you. Pretty epic, right?
Ps. Gun lovers, keep scrolling for some serious firepower.
Assault Rifle Weapon
We know you've been itching to see some weapons since the last update, and our artists haven't disappointed!
We're aiming for a realistic combat experience, and this assault rifle, with its smooth reload system and a hefty Ame-powered ammo clip, is a prime example. Plus, those different barrel attachments? Each one promises a unique way to unleash mayhem.
Pistol Weapon
This compact pistol is your friend when you need to stay agile. Forget bulky weapons – with this bad boy in hand, you can channel your inner Tom Cruise and take down enemies with a double dose of lead. (Think close-quarters combat and lightning-fast reflexes)
Close Combat Weapons
Sometimes, things get heated (literally), and you need something a little more... intimate.
That's where our close-combat weapons come in. We have a variety to choose from because no two battles are the same. The coolest part? These weapons all have a crystal-blue sheen – that's how they tap into Seedworld's Ame energy. So, even the smallest blade packs a serious punch!
Wild Creature
While you're busy blasting each other, keep an eye out for Seedworld's magnificent creatures. They're beautiful, sure, but they also pack a mean bite! Stay frosty out there, friends.
Game Design
The game design team has been working tirelessly to create a more engaging and rewarding experience for players! Here's a breakdown of some of the exciting new features they have in store:
Subscription Model
We have defined the Seedworld Subscription model that rewards our Web3 community. Any NFT holder will receive a free subscription for as long as they hold at least one of our NFTs in their wallet.
A Seedworld Subscription is required to qualify for the value leaderboards and rewards. At the same time, free-to-play players will be able to compete for lower-rarity cosmetics and similar rewards.
Subscribers will receive many other benefits in addition to value rewards, such as limited unique seasonal cosmetics, social benefits, whitelist spots, and access to the premium tier of daily login rewards and milestone rewards.
Keeping Track: Stamina Meter and HUD
Track Your Endurance: A brand new stamina meter will be added to help you manage your character's exertions. This will be crucial for strategic gameplay, letting you know how much you can run, jump, or perform special moves before needing a rest.
Heads-Up Display (HUD): The HUD is now complete! It will provide all the essential information you need at a glance, including your health, ammo, and mini-map, keeping you focused on the action.
Crafting and Customization
Become a Master Crafter: The all-new crafting system will allow you to create powerful weapons and useful items, giving you more control over your gear and playstyle.
RnD Bench Unlocks: The RnD bench is getting a revamp! A new unlock order system will be implemented, allowing you to strategically choose which weapons and items to research and craft first.
Sharpening the Combat Edge
Weapon Tuning on the Fly: No more one-size-fits-all weapons! A new in-match weapon tuning system will allow you to adjust your weapon's performance to suit the situation.
Ranked Rewards: A new match-end ranking and reward system will be implemented, giving you something to strive for and rewarding your dominance on the battlefield.
Pushing Your Limits: Achievements
A brand new in-game achievement system is being designed and tested! Completing these challenges will not only give you bragging rights but may also unlock special rewards.
Powering Up: Energy-Based Weapons
Big developments are coming to Seedworld's weapons, and it's all about energy, as batteries will fuel your blasters and guns; here’s a breakdown;
Each weapon will have its own battery, which holds a set amount of energy. This energy determines how many shots you can fire before needing a recharge.
If you ever run low on juice, you can head to the gunsmith bench to swap out your depleted battery for a fresh one and return to blasting.
As you level up your weapons, they'll be able to hold more batteries, letting you unleash even more firepower before needing a pit stop.
Balancing Act:
We're also hard at work on making sure all the weapons feel more balanced to use. This week, we tackled the pistol, dialing in its shooting range, movement speed, and damage output. Next week, the assault rifle gets its turn! We'll be adding even more adjustments in the future to create a perfectly balanced combat experience.
Stay tuned for more updates on weapon design.
Development: The Latest Tech Achievements
The tech team has been busy building the coolest features for Seedworld! Here's a sneak peek at what they've been working on:

Building in Seedworld is about to get a whole lot smoother with the introduction of grid and alignment options. Whether you're working in the world or local mode, these tools will help you place objects precisely, creating clean lines and perfect layouts.
Our new snapping logic allows objects to seamlessly connect in new ways, letting you create unique shapes and structures and design truly amazing things.
Imagine building something awesome and then easily being able to use it again and again. That's the power of our new object combination feature! Craft intricate structures anywhere in the world, save them as a single object and effortlessly add them to your projects whenever you need them.

The fight for survival in Seedworld is about to get even more intense with these battle mode updates:
Combat Control: We've been refining the controls to make battling feel more intuitive and responsive. Get ready for smoother movement and more precise attacks.
