Citizens of the unixverse! We’ve got an exciting one for you today.

As part of our buildup to OWNED.gg’s, we want to dig into some of the fantastic partners and games to be featured on the platform at launch. Today, we’re discussing the MMORTS with all the potential Pulsar.

Pulsar offers a unique real-time strategy experience for players. The team  with gameplay inspired by RTS Starcraft, Command & Conquer, and Diablo. The game features both player versus environment (PVE) and player versus player (PVP) gameplay, making it suitable for both casual and competitive players.

One of the unique features of Pulsar is its accessibility to both web2 and web3 players. To prevent players from becoming discouraged by the infamous high entry barriers of web3, players at Pulsar can start playing without minting NFTs or configuring a wallet. Their free-to-play and pay-to-play models cater to players of different types. To further accommodate players’ preferences, Pulsar offers compatibility with PC, Mac, mobile, and tablets, making it possible to address a wider range of gamers.

Pulsar offers their audience cross-chain minting and accepts various payment methods, including a variety of blockchains, stablecoins, and credit cards. This eliminates the need for players to have a deep understanding of cryptocurrencies or use specific tokens or exchanges.

The game utilizes blockchain and web3 technologies in several ways. The in-game currency, $PLSR, is mined from the land and refined into on-chain tokens by using workers and refineries, which are NFTs. New tokens enter the market when miners sell them. Players can also buy resources and higher-level NFTs from other players through the marketplace.

Pulsar breaks up the mining, building, and fighting aspects of the game into separate classes, allowing players to focus on the aspect they enjoy most. The game features a replayable game mechanic that allows players specialized as miners to build drills and go underground to find resources. However, the deeper underground they go, the greater the chance of encountering more dangerous aliens!

The game also offers a unique mechanic where players can join the game for free and play using other players' units on other players' land, but they must pay taxes to the owners. This mechanic aims to bridge the gap between free-to-play web2 players and web3 players. Users can start for free, but to trade earned in-game assets, they must connect their wallet. Additionally, some players may decide to start playing on their own land and with their own NFTs to avoid in-game taxes.

To make the game even more engaging, Pulsar offers players the ability to create their maps and missions and sell those experiences. This user-generated content feature will be available in 2024.

Pulsar's partnership with OWNED and Unix Gaming aims to attract and retain millions of players. The platform's approach to multi-chain minting and compatibility with the subnet allows players to mint, hold, and play with assets on any EVM-compatible chain. The game's unique features and mechanics, combined with the Web3 infrastructure, offer an unprecedented gaming experience that caters to all players' preferences.

In summary, Pulsar's partnership with OWNED and Unix Gaming is an exciting development that is set to revolutionize the gaming industry.
