Paras & GalaxyOnline AMA-session

Introduction

Andini: Hi everyone! Thank you for joining us today on the Paras x GalaxyOnline AMA. I’m Andini, the host for today’s event. Let’s start the AMA now!

Before we begin, we will have a one hour AMA and all are presented in texts. We have 2 sessions: For the first session, the representatives from Galaxy Online, Sergey and Petr will answer the pre-screening questions while for the second session, all of you will have the chance to ask questions that you’re dying to know. So, stay tuned everyone!

Now, I will briefly explain what Galaxy Online is & the ongoing partnership that we have:

Galaxy Online is an epic MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online game) with blockchain-based game races that offers a huge universe, consisting of a variety of galaxies where ruthless battles take place for dominance over planets and rich territories of space.

With this partnership, it’s official that Paras becomes the official NFT Marketplace for Galaxy Online for certain in-game items! And of course we’re so excited to share this with you guys even from the very beginning.

Oh! To remind you guys, we also have NFT Drops the “First Settlers” and a quiz with fantastic prizes that you can check on our Twitter 👀

Pre-screening questions

Andini: Now… now… let me introduce you to Petr Sevastianov & Sergey Malyarov from Galaxy Online team. Say hi guys!

Pit: Hi everyone!

Sergey: Welcome to the paras community and all AMA participants

Andini: What kind of game does Galaxy Online provide? And where is the inspiration coming from?

Pit: GalaxyOnline.IO is a space MMO strategy with a living economy, in which each playable race is a separate blockchain, and the players of this race are the blockchain community itself. Moreover, each race has its own galaxies, guilds, corporations, clans, alliances, space stations and plays under the flag of its own blockchain.
The open world of the project is a single map with endless space, to which galaxies of all plug-in blockchains and developing races are added.

Sergey:

Pit: We draw inspiration from the feedback from our players: people follow the project, participate in its development, see changes, our inspiration is our audience.

Andini: So you guys really take the feedback from your players into consideration. Appreciate the effort!
There are lots of MMOs that are thematically similar to yours which is space war. What is the distinction between Galaxy Online and those other MMOs?

Pit: We create a unique game that is difficult to compare with existing games. But if we take only the element of space theme, then EVE online, Stellaris, Endless Space will be the closest to us in spirit.
Galaxy Online differs from other MMOs in that it is the first game that brings together users of different blockchains in a game shell, fighting for their race. The success of the blockchain, the cohesion of its community and the strongest technology of the favorites will show in the vastness of space to users of all blockchains who rule the universe!

Sergey: Many of our players help us in the development and testing of the game

Andini: Really interesting, I think being a one of a kind game is great, so people will be absorbed with the features that you provide.

Pit: yes we have a separate test server for these purposes

Sergey: We still have a lot of planning in the development of the game and improvements. We strive for honesty for the players and the community.

Andini: That's so thoughtful
What are Galaxy Online's vision and mission? My friend once said to me that the only way to go is UP, so what can we expect from the platform going forwards?

Sergey: We still have a lot of planning in the development of the game and improvements. We strive for honesty for the players and the community.

Pit: Today, NFT blockchain gaming is one of the fastest growing gaming industries in the world, and our team has focused on creating an advanced high quality space MMO strategy game.

The mission of the project is to introduce people to blockchain technologies through an interesting gameplay and a whole ecosystem, including:

• PvP mini-games for bets in tokens: Space Battle, Duel, Arena, and other mini-games in the future.

• In-game market, for trading between players for tokens and game values.

• NFT marketplace with the possibility of issuing custom NFT tokens in the future.

• DeFi sector with the possibility of staking and renting game NFT Commanders and NFT Space Stations.

• Tournaments based on Arenas within the framework of the Cybersport program.

• Blockchain integration with the creation of new races and galaxies based on plug-in blockchains within a single map of the universe (a single open world of the game).

Sergey: Ultimately, we want to transfer control to the gaming community and further vote for changes in the project.
We are a young and strong team, and we have a vision of how the Galaxy Online project will develop, and where we will be in a year.

Andini: Next, what kind of project does Galaxy Online conduct this time? What makes it special?
Let's strive!

Sergey: A feature of the project that attracts people in the first place is the ability to earn money in the game without investments, just by playing.

But we consider the main feature of the economic system of our game.

The main interactions take place between players, all the resources that are on the market are 100% mined, created or conquered by the players. And all interactions in the game are built between the players. We just give players the opportunity to realize themselves in the framework of Galactic setting and encourage the most effective of them, gradually improving the game and putting new game essences and mechanics into the hands of players, with the help of which they can build their own game world.

Pit: A person unfamiliar with the blockchain can get acquainted with the basics and principles of its work in a playful way, a player who wants to make money can establish his own trading network, those who have big ambitions can start developing their personal community or gaming investments, but those who just want to relax can become galactic pirates and rob caravans in the evenings. Within the framework of the game, everyone chooses which gaming experience he needs, our task is to provide players with the widest range of options for choosing.

Andini: Cool. Since you take your players’ feedback into account, maybe there are people that want to know what are the improvements that users can experience on this new project?

Pit: Players have access to: seizing planets, building planets, mining minerals, pumping skills and technologies, building a fleet, trading with other players, war, blockades of planets and Space Stations, robbing planets and caravans, cooperative play in Guilds, Corporations, Clans and Alliances.

Most of the in-game resources and values are mined and produced in the game only by the players themselves: Energy, Solarium, modules, spaceships, planetary buildings, parts for Matherships. Game resources and values obtained by more developed players are in demand from other players in the in-game market and are sold for tokens and cryptocurrency.

Be whoever you want, do whatever you want on the populated part of the endless expanses of space!

Now we are preparing a new game interface for the release. For a more simplified gameplay and convenience for players.

Here are some screenshots of the new interface

Andini: wow, I'm amazed 🤯 aren't you all guys???
What outcome does Galaxy expect from the NFT Drops? Why do you choose to do NFT Drops with Paras?

Sergey: We want to draw the attention of investors to the project and raise the funds necessary for the project.

We have big tasks for the whole of 2021, which are described in detail in ROADMAP( https://galaxyonline.io/roadmap ), and already in the 1st quarter of 2022 we plan to transfer the project from the Beta version to production and reach self-sufficiency.

We decided to entrust NFT Drops to professionals, our partners from Paras.

Andini: It’s a pleasure for us to be partnered with Galaxy Online & hopefully we can fulfill our tasks for the whole 2021 & years to come!
Anyway, how can new players join the space war in Galaxy Online?

Pit: The entrance to the game is available in 2 clicks via NEAR ID or telegram account. We do not use e-mail, phone number, no passwords.

Immediately after entering, the Academy is available - this is a separate educational galaxy that must be passed in order to get into the open world of the game, where merciless battles take place between players for domination over the planets and rich territories of space.

A player can have several game accounts (one in each race) tied to his NEAR ID or telegram account.

Andini: There everyone, for those of you who haven't tried the Galaxy Online game yet, take note of the answer above!
Maybe this is what some of us are curious about, what is the benefit of purchasing the "First Settlers"? Will there be any use case that can be integrated into the game?

Sergey: The benefit of the First Settlers purchases is the ability to use the unique Space Station NFT tokens inside the Galaxy Online game. Space NFT stations are not just pictures, but multifunctional objects that support the game economy and without which many game functions cannot be performed. Therefore, they are an integral part of the game, and their owners are irreplaceable members of the Galaxy community.

Andini: Lastly, how will the game be related to the NFT Drops?

Sergey: Galaxy Online does not stop there and continues to develop, we plan to introduce new and expand old functionality, including NFT in-game functionality, which, we are sure, will be able to surprise everyone, therefore we hope for a long and fruitful cooperation.

Andini: OK, everyone. That is all from session one. Insightful, wasn't it?

Pit: thanks

Community Question

@pyororon: we all know that the majority of real life users don't know what gaming blockchain and NFT is all about. How will ParasHQ & GalaxyOnline team bring the adoption & education on gaming blockchain and NFT to these ones?

Pit: We have a training Academy (https://galaxyonline.io/faq/index/academy), which every player goes through after registration. At the same time, people do not need to know something about cryptocurrencies or blockchain or NTF in order to start playing. They start playing and gradually learn about blockchain and NFT. Therefore, we have a great advantage of involving the general audience in the game and familiarizing them with blockchain technology.

@Novreysa90: The security is the priority, what can the your platform guarantee or promise in terms of the security and privacy of its users?

Sergey: We do not collect personal data from users. Authorization in the game occurs via telegram or NEAR ID. We try to be as responsible as possible about safety.

@AngelYourHeart: Investors seem to only care about price of the NFT instead of the Game how does your team attract gamers and investor with the project?

Pit: Firstly, we attract regular players through the Academy. Secondly, we plan to make it possible for investors to lease some NTF to players. At the same time, the player during the game improves the characteristics of nft and it becomes more valuable over time. At the same time, the investor may not play the game directly, but rent out his NFT. This applies to NFT Commanders and Space Stations.

@samseker: What are the plans of GalaxyOnline team in place for global expansion?, are you focus on building and developing or getting customers and users, or focusing on partnerships?

Pit: We are focused on developing the whole ecosystem, not just one game. More about the ecosystem was above (https://t.me/parashq/2894). We will develop partnerships and the game itself and satellite projects of our ecosystem.

@PHAMTHIEN: There are many game platforms developed. So what strengths do you have to attract players?

Pit: through the game, people can learn about blockchain technologies and make money in the game just by playing. A unified open game world and a lively market economy. Almost everything that is sold on the market is mined by players in the game and sold to other players.

@GameForStudy: do you have a tutorial team for GalaxyOnline games for beginners like me? and there is a top up like the Dota2 game?

Pit: Yes there is. In our chats, players and support will help you
English chat - @GalaxyOnline_en
Russian chat - @GalaxyOnline_ru

Andini: Thanks everyone with the questions, for the 5 selected questions from Galaxy Online team, we will contact you personally.
We really appreciate the enthusiasm!💕
