Ashward

Ashward is a virtual world where players can own, and monetize their gaming experiences in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network using ASC, the platform’s utility token. Players will be able to explore the fantasy medieval land, gather the bravest warriors to defeat aggressive bosses or engage in fierce battles against other players.

We want to bring terms like blockchain and NFT close to the public in a fun and accessible way. This has determined our spirit for this project as well as any projects we will make in the future:

Powered by blockchain, for fun, for everyone & everywhere.

Style

Pixel art has won the hearts of gamers through so many iconic titles such as Space Invaders (1978), Pac-Man (1980),... This charming style of game art has come a long way to the present modern world, where we see the dominance of 3D games and yet it stands still.

Ashward embraces modern gameplay in a nostalgic graphic style that we all love and cherish.

Vision

Our vision is to offer a deeply immersive world in which players will become explorers and conquerors of the virtual worlds and game collaboratively and without central authority. We provide creators true ownership of their creations as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and reward their participation with our utility token – ASC.

In the current game market, the decentralized ownership and control of user-generated content limits creator rights and ownership. Central control over the trading of virtual goods created by players restricts them from generating fair value for their creations. With Ashward, we aim to overcome these limitations while accelerating blockchain adoption to grow the blockchain gaming market. We will do this by building a robust gaming platform where creators are able to play, share, collect, and trade without central control, enjoying secure copyright ownership with the ability to earn profit.

Mission

Ashward is the first game in our pixel metaverse which comprises of multiple titles. Each game will inherit a piece from the previous one so that every game is connected. That way, some specific NFTs in form of pet, item,.. will also be passed throughout games.

Bearing this spirit, we strive to deliver players a game world powered by blockchain.

Roadmap

Story

Originally, when the continent was formed, there were three dominant species: humans, elves, and monsters. There are 3 ethnic groups: the Isa people are concentrated in the south, the Bria people live in the northern mountains and the Ebba people live on the offshore island of Aldona.

Monsters, with their superiority in strength and numbers, quickly invaded the entire continent, pushing humans and elves back deep into the valleys and rocky mountains. The Ebba live on an isolated island from the mainland, so it is somewhat more peaceful, but some monsters can fly. The elves retreated to the great Andee Mountains in the East to reside and hardly interact with other peoples. With some outstanding features in appearance, the fairies have always considered themselves to be a superior species and this is the source of many conflicts and conflicts with other ethnic groups.

In the 4th decade, an unprecedented thing happened, the races and elves joined forces to fight the monsters. Thanks to the advanced weapon making of humans and the elite fighting skills of the elves, the war ended after 5 years and the monsters were almost completely annihilated, with the rest being destroyed. pushed back to their land and the gate to that kingdom was sealed. After the war to destroy the common enemy, the elves ruled the vast land west of the Andee Mountains. The Ebba, who once set foot on the island with very primitive ships, now have powerful fleets of ships. They continue to set sail to discover new lands. The first place they found after months at sea was the home of a previously unknown species: the Dragon.

In the great continent, the peaceful life lasted less than a decade, a part of the Bria people were not satisfied with the current division. This group of people did not want to live forever in the harsh cold North. They oppose the king of Bria, establish a territory of their own and find a way to open the gate to hell and free the monsters, in order to disturb the current order and find a chance to compromise with their ambitions of domination. continental rule.
