I think the best part so far is that this gamemode is 500x more approachable to the average of average player than the full combat system and serves as a really interesting introduction. It features the 1v1 PvP tile grid (2x2 pet grid) but the opponents have a variable number of tiles, ranging from 2 to 16+ (boss tiles) You start out with a choice of one out of three trainer(s) pet teams 4 pets on the field and 2 pets in reserve, but the pets have two less moves each than usual, meaning 8 moves in play at all times with 4 moves in reserve (12 total) After each combat node, you get to choose a reward with one out of three move pairs to add to your current pets moveslots (two moves coming as a pair, so 2/6 moves pickable out of the presented options) you can also skip picking any. Compared to how it is in PvP/Arena with all 24 moves (with energy based variants/awakens totaling a potential 72 moves to select from turn 1😅) The game instance is entered from the 3D open world (town) so additionally there's a social feeling to add to it all seeing everyone else going to play their rounds (also co-op!) I do very much think this is a significantly better "first play" experience to the omnia world and I think if you've had familiarity with hell card, darkest dungeon, across the obelisk and especially StS2 and played our past PvP playtests, you'll definitely get why. We're still some away from playtesting it, but this is in need of a lot of playtesting so the second some of the visuals just have basic UX polish it should be good to go for people to play / help make it fun as non-PvP design is not the most intuitive for what could be even more fun than players themselves. In short,a playable version will exist early even if parts of it might look or feel rough around the edges/still in design phase because it just benefits the game and players capability to make it fun a lot more.

wtf are all these rumors lately? just to put some transparency on table, as of today we are 1/3 the size working on omnia vs what we were up to a year ago. A lot of the people who’ve touched the project has mostly been artists. From a programmer angle we’ve only ever had three working on it at anytime (which is normal) It’s obviously been handled in a more indie way, but that’s also the nature of our project considering the totality of how we’ve proceeded. Seals mint was handled between many people at start that had nothing to do with omnia/pixl++ mint proceeds were given pretty unilaterally to members of that mint at start with a portion to fulfill initial roadmap (charity stuff etc and ending with blubbr/pixl) I also wasn’t one of them as I joined a month and half later. That brings us to pet mint / kass era medium.com/@PixlLabs/pixl-la… Most people don’t really understand the gravity of that situation, basically everyone was about to leave / out the door as kass withheld funds / paid himself a fat sum. Afterwards when we convinced people to stay as we had a duty to fulfill, Kass refused and literally held entire treasury hostage. Through legal we had no choice but to forfeit a pretty significant sum of the pets mint to Kass so we can just get the dev money to put things to work. Obviously one party left off pretty happy all things considered to work three months for a retarded amount of community raised funds. medium.com/@PixlLabs/pixl-la… That brings us to today, since then we’ve had a few concepts to mint some more as sine 2021 we’ve been bankrolled off extreme grit ($2.2m ballpark) and a very heavy amount of funding through wabs own pockets. Everyone has had a dramatic pay cut since 2023/2024 with wab to this date not having taken salary other than if it was a pretty direct expense as part of the project. Ordinals wasn’t a mint, we decided to do a pixl auction for SOME of the artifacts, do I need to remind you that teams made a literal robbery of ordinals? Where are degods today? We made one of the most premium toy experiences with Chompy and were intending to mint 999 of them as a phygital, but ultimately we never did and the only reason is because we felt until the day that omnia is properly out and the initial cards have their utility it feels wrong even if the actual toys were completely finished and were outright fucking awesome (regardless of web2/3) it’s the Chompy egg with chompy inside and two rarity tiers with a glitched and corrupted Chompy. The only time since then were telegram stickers and we literally had the highest mint to floor price out of every single NFT collection for a singular sticker pack lol by 12x. Not to mention we packed that shit with so much quality ensuring it’s not slop. I’m really tired of how many people don’t understand how much we ended up sacrificing in this project, monetary or hours and I’m especially tired of people suddenly wanting to make a villain out of wab when at every single fucking turn he refused to grift like the 500 advisors over the years told him to do. Of course as of today there are things we failed, whether not grifting, focusing on something that hits the market more from a speculative angle etc and we know all our mistakes better than anyone else, but what we won’t accept is this notion of not doing everything to our utmost best ability from day 1 to now and to the future. Despite anything we are more optimistic and determined to bring this IP and crypto beginnings to the whole world before AI ends us all and we are doing really fucking well all things considered, but our assets bleed as hard as 99.9% of the other assets in the category, so our job is to carve our own market because the market everyone else focuses on is no more, it’s fugazi in the same way legacy chains with 0 activity sits at 2b+ mcap. We’ve said it before, I’m gonnna say it one more time, for wab and I, it’s sappy or die. Why else be here for so long if not?
