Developer Diary: The Value of Choice 🏴
In the world of 🙂 Hello Pixel, everything starts with a simple step. The first claim, the first pixel leaving Storage—it’s not just a number; it marks the beginning of a journey. We know that even the smallest details can impact the entire ecosystem.
The Cycle Is More Than Just Statistics
Over the past period, we have observed the development of the in-game economy. We have studied how you make decisions, how you level up and optimize your resources, and which actions truly drive your progress. Interestingly, the moment that was meant to serve as a significant starting point has gradually become mundane—almost unnoticed. We want to restore the true significance of that initial step.
The First Transaction
We want every step to matter. The development of the Storage should be perceived not as a mere formality, but as a conscious strategic decision. The motivation to level up should come not only from bonuses but also from the understanding that “this is more profitable.” That’s why we have decided that the first step should cost more than before.
Why Is This Necessary?
These changes will help:
- Increase the value of developing the Storage.
- Make the leveling process more meaningful.
- Balance the game’s economy in the long term.
- Give the starting point real significance.
Summary:
- Zero transactions remain tax-free (once a day, with an update at 00:00 UTC).
- The new cost for the first transaction is 0.0015625 SGB (approximately $0.000007).
- Future changes will increasingly emphasize the need for Storage development.
- This change is already live on the Songbird network and is tied to the upcoming introduction of Boosts (available only in the web version).
- On the 🤖SKALE Europa network, the transaction fee remains the same, but it will be increased with the next patch.
- Of course, you can play however you like, but now conscious decisions will be rewarded more than random actions. Hello Pixel is all about choice, and now that choice has become even more important.
