#Full Illuvium mobile experience

I can not stop thinking about a full mobile Illuvium game.

I looked at Mavia and correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it only the Battle aspect that differentiates it from IL:Z?

How hard would it then be to add a battle button to IL:Z, that allows for setting up an Arena battle?

This battle would run in the background on the servers and only the final video stream would be shown in IL:Z.

The rewards from these battles could be anything from resources, Illuvials, skins etc.

Another button would show your already collected Illuvials, Drones etc., also by downloading the pre-rendered NFT videos.

IL:Z would become the mobile hub for all of Illuvium with a relatively low amount of development effort, but true AAA quality and on mobile.

Game streaming might be the future anyway and with the way Arena works, it lends itself perfectly to such a setup.

Over time these battles can become real time, but in the meantime we look better than any other mobile game out there.

Overworld and Arena would be for the full resolution AAA experience, pro players, hard core gamers etc. Basically everything you need and want a PC for.

Battle in IZ was talked about often, with looking AT kierans Post about opening up IZ to more than landholders i guess it was also talked about internally. Since it doesn't make any sense for f2p if it doesn't have social/pvp aspects.
The concerns i have about the Battles are:

  • what rewards you give out without mass inflating nft's . (Illuvials, skins, ores and plants)
  • you have to be able to opt out, because most landholders i spoke to either doesn't wana lose ress or spend so much more time in IZ
  • time comitement illuvium is imo all about enjoying different Games in the ip. You can See it in mavia, as soon as enemy Base raiding comes into play, you have no time for any other Games.(why i stopped playing mavia)

For sure you can Make some pvp System but raiding other bases and getting fuel, illuvials, skins etc as rewards is the wrong way to go imo.

Maybe, to be honest I haven't thought too much about this.

My idea was about adding Arena and NFT video streams to IL:Z.

There is so much in regards to game loop, rewards, F2P I have not thought about.

I don't get axactly what you mean with Arena and nft Video Streams, can you elaborate on that?

Yea, have to be carefully what rewards you give to f2p people, because bots wake up when they hear you can earn a decent amount in a f2p game

Instead of developing a mobile version of Arena, I would take the existing server side code (e.g. Arena cinematic battle video) and stream it to the mobile game in low resolution.

The IL:Z client would have the UI to create/setup the battle, but it would be executed on the server and a cloud render farm produces the video (we have to be carful about resource consumption of course) and streams it to the IL:Z client.

For the IL:Z player it looks like the battle runs on the smartphone, because it all happens so fast on the server.

It is basically full Arena, maybe a special game mode suited for IL:Z, but with a mobile UI.

Im on board for a fully mobile experience. I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.
Like how someone could completely a full loop of gameplay on mobile only.
Biggest hurdle is either getting OW on mobile or having an additional way to capture Illuvials on mobile.

but you will have to spend fuel to create and level up your Drone teams. They could also be destroyed

If that's the case, then maybe there is a marketplace feature in Zero that allows me to sponsor someone's run in the OW?

Basically I would pay for a run with fuel from my land, but another player goes into the OW for me?

Whatever this player catches in the OW is shared between us?

I am not sure if it fits in with the lore, but it would definitely help me as a Zero player and the OW player could play for free.
