Augmentors get ready to battle! Token Holder Alpha coming March 28th 2018

Nose to the grindstone for the Augmentors team in preparation for the epic battling that will take place during Token Holder Alpha at the end of March.

In this Friday update, we share some exciting information about Token Holder Alpha including extended dates, broader AR device compatibility, non-AR mode and what to expect.

Token Holder Alpha (March 29 — April 2)

Token Holder Alpha will take place from Thursday March 29th to Monday April 2nd. We’ve extended the timeframe to maximise gameplay time (especially as this weekend is a long weekend in many parts of the world)! Be sure to block out some quality time with your favourite starting creature.

As this is a multiplayer game you will need an opponent! The Augmentors team will be online to battle against you during specific times and you will be able to battle one another throughout the Token Holder Alpha period.

Get ready by joining our official Discord server and #token-holder-alpha-chat channel.

AR Core update allowing wider Android compatibility

Google announced version 1.0 of ARCore at the Mobile World Congress,bringing augmented reality to a 100 million devices.

The good news is that we have upgraded Augmentors to this version. This means that more devices will be supported in the upcoming Token Holder Alpha.

As per Google the following Android devices are now supported: “Google’s Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL; Samsung’s Galaxy S8, S8+, Note8, S7 and S7 edge; LG’s V30 and V30+ (Android O only); ASUS’s Zenfone AR; and OnePlus’s OnePlus 5.”

You can see the specific Android models here.

Non-AR mode allowing even wider compatibility

Some of the feedback we received from the previous Early Backer Alpha showed that it wasn’t always convenient to play using AR. For example, finding a suitable playing surface was sometimes difficult (due to poor light).

For this reason we have included a very basic non-AR mode, which will allow players to play without using AR. This not only makes it possible to play when AR is not an option, but also to play on devices that do not have AR capability.

Good news for us and more gameplay for all!

What to expect in Token Holder Alpha

1. 5 Playable creatures (our 5 starter creatures) to choose from, each with two unique abilities. 4 of them have already been introduced (Tundris, Markik, Sha & Ki) and the 5th will be introduced before Token Holder Alpha so that you can make wise creature selections.

2. A basic deck builder that will allow each player to customize their strategy.

3. Creature experience and levelling.

4. Basic matchmaking for online multiplayer (will search for an available game and join immediately).

We are excited to include our community on this journey and cannot wait to get your feedback.
