"Illuvial Arena" on the Epic store and OW as a separate install

[mystic isle]

Illuvium really has just one main game that can and will be competitive to web 2 games: Arena/Gauntlet

All the other games OW, Zero and Beyond just exist to produce assets for Arena/Gauntlet, it is either fuel or Illuvials/Weapons/Suits, Illuvitars as cosmetics. These games are factories in the Illuvium economy.

But Illuvium never says this publicly. It is no surprise that we get YouTube reviews that look at OW and laugh about it.

These reviewers and even many in our community don't understand, that OW is not your usual game. It is a beautiful Illuvial factory, a business more than a game, a companion game to Arena.

When you look at it this way, then it is extremely bullish that Arena, our TFT competitor, has 3 support games, a whole economy around the main Arena game.

**Whenever Illuvium starts its big marketing push, it should market Arena/Gauntlet only and hide the support/crypto games OW and Zero from public view. **

I would rename it to "Illuvial Arena" on the Epic store and make OW a separate install and explain in big bold letters "OW and Zero are companion games to Arena, please try Arena first".

A small game studio should stick to its core competency and create as many games from it as possible, instead of venturing into completely new game types.

Overworld is the main game.
It has endless potential, needs just a little work.
It will be the game that will stand out, not the tft copies.
Just my opinion, everyone is free to like what they want.
Why would anyone choose to play illuvium gauntlet instead of tft when tft is years ahead?
You can only convince players to play gauntlet/arena by making them fall in love with illuvium universe (through overworld)

Overworld has the most potentiel and is the main game in my opinion . When they add new features like raids and multiplayer OW will attract way more people.

Do you guys refer to the current OW with its paid box opening or a new F2P version ?

[desert whale]

Why are you guys applying personal bias on this? Overworld is not the main game, arena is. That has been the plan all along, it's not something new.

If you want to turn OW into the main game, it will take several years and monetization restructuring. It's not a couple of months work..

[zinc saffron]

Reread what i wrote. It's not a bias, it's an opinion

[mystic isle]

Do you refer to the current OW with its paid box opening or a new F2P version ?

[zinc saffron]

A rethinked version. With combat, missions, more fun

[mystic isle]

This version would not have the paywall and no Illluvials as NFTs ?

[zinc saffron]

Ofcourse it will have the illuvials as nft. That's the whole idea about illuvium. Just make it more fun to capture it
As i said, it is my idea, i have been wrong before, but this is how i see it
Overworld being the main game. The arena/gauntlet has nothing against the tft

[mystic isle]

Okay. How do you see our chances to convince mainstream players to pay for each gaming session ?

[zinc saffron]

I proposed another system that seems fine for me and got the idea from a mainstream free to play friend of mine
But no idea is perfect

[mystic isle]

Can I see your proposal ?
