Hello, World.
In this post we'd like to announce a gaming project we've been working on called Holozing. We'll start out by writing down the current Litepaper which you'll be able to follow the updated version on the link provided and then we'll move on with details about the token launch.
Litepaper
Game Overview
HoloZing is a Web3 enabled monster catching, training, and battling game. It draws strong inspiration from classics like Pokémon and World of Warcraft. The game has four unique elements that set it apart from similar games and other web3 games:
- Players are not given much information about the monsters they encounter, requiring them to make mid-battle decisions. Players who take the time to watch for patterns, research, and diligently experiment will have an advantage.
- The aspect of Healing and HP management is a central part of the PvE element of the game.
- The game’s economy and assets are backed by the robust Hive blockchain and ecosystem, enabling play-to-earn and play-to-own mechanics.
- No team allocation, founder’s share, or pre-mine.
History and Inspiration
HoloZing is the brainchild of longtime Hive user and contributor @acidyo (Acid), who is perhaps best known for growing and running the OCD (Original Content Decentralized) and POSH (Proof Of Sharing) projects on Hive.
Work on HoloZing began in 2023 when web2 platforms handicapped the main usage of his POSH project through unrealistic API costs. POSH had been built on years of effort, but suddenly needed more use cases for the token. Acid considered connecting the POSH to other projects on Hive, but nothing quite fit his requirements in terms of operation or tokenomics. Instead, he decided to finally pull the trigger on his gaming idea he had been working on for years but never found the perfect moment to start.
Similar to OCD, POSH, HoloZing aims to be a bootstrapped effort, funded mostly through blood, sweat, and tears. No founder’s shares, venture capital, angel investors, etc. The only significant injection for the game’s economy will come from the POSH project: a fairly distributed economy that lives on the same ecosystem as HoloZing. The goal is to make it as fair as possible for the players and passive investors from the very start.
This is a passion project for Acid—an avid gamer since childhood with tons of experience across genres and platforms. He loved the Pokemon-franchise when he was a teenager, and graduated to more competitively complex titles as he got older. When web3 entered the gaming scene, at first he couldn’t understand the criticism it received from the masses—in his eyes, web3’s ownership and incentive opportunities held massive promise to the whole sector. As he delved more deeply into the web3 gaming projects that were out there, it became apparent that most had little to no vision, misunderstood or didn’t care about blockchain based systems, and were focused chiefly on short-term gain (or outright fraud).
HoloZing seeks to be the polar opposite: a collectible-based game with a sense of accomplishment, competitiveness, smart incentives and an ever-growing and evolving ecosystem that allows for cross-compatibility of in-game assets. Most importantly, the capacity to share the value generated between everyone participating. This is what the true promise of decentralized gaming can offer, and it is what Acid and his team are working hard to build.

Lore
HoloZing is set in the 2040s, in a world where global gaming networks are common and digitized realities are the norm. Players take on the role of a futuristic gamer that uses the proprietary Holo-Lens device to access the world of the HoloZing game, duel with other players, gain fame and glory in esports leagues, and more.
A vision for what blockchain gaming could one day evolve into, HoloZing aims to give Players a taste of the future, today.
Alpha Gameplay
Once the game is out in alpha, you'll start off with purchasing a healer NFT, representing your character. Then you need to get yourself a starter pack that’ll give you the necessary items and your first creature for playing.
The reason you have to purchase to get started is to discourage bot and multi-account usage. The funds received fully go towards the game’s ecosystem, and will be used for growth and evolution. None of it is kept for-profit by a single entity.
Monsters in the wild (PvE)
Progressing in the game and being competitive in PvP requires you to capture and efficiently train wild monsters. By design, HoloZing offers a range of styles for PvE, all of which manifest based on how the Player wants to approach the game.
Casual Players will enjoy the variety of monsters, the regularity and rhythm of leveling, and the power to use in-game automation to ensure they are progressing even when offline. Battles in PvE are not that hard to win… but winning is just the beginning.
Competitive Players will realize that they need to be very picky about the PvE battles that they spend their time and energy on. Capturing rare and powerful monsters from PvE will require skill and deeper game knowledge. Ensuring that captured monsters get the most out of their level-ups also requires that they are properly matched in PvE encounters.
Top Players will need to employ a mix of complex and complementary strategies, including highly efficient PvE encounters, selective PvP matches, and a thorough understanding of the secondary markets for game assets.
Monster Stats
Players will find familiar stats for creatures, such as attack, agility, defense, and HP. Where HoloZing gets interesting is in how it approaches creature rarity and stat leveling. Two creatures may look the exact same and have the same type—but their min and max stats per level can vary wildly.
A common rarity creature is one whose stats are on the lower end of the spectrum for its level. An epic rarity is one closer to the maximum. Therefore, your creatures’ rarities can improve or degrade over time—it all depends on how you train them!
Encountering monsters
The world of HoloZing is filled with a wondrous range of biomes and creatures. In the pre-beta version of the game, players will encounter and battle creatures (PvE) and be able to challenge other players (PvP).
The website will allow you to “concentrate” when your daily encounters appear, this is done to prevent you from receiving notifications of a nearby creature you may want to battle when you should be focusing on work, school, or other boring things such as sleep. The encounters will consist of random creatures with random stats (the stats won’t be fully random since higher stat creatures are more rare and thus don’t appear as often).
Battle outcomes (PvE)
Battles can end in a variety of ways:
- Monster defeated: you and your monsters have reduced the wild monster’s HP to zero. You and your monster will gain XP according to how hard the fight was.
- Monster wins: Your monsters’ HP was reduced to zero. You will suffer a penalty but gain a small about of XP. There will be a mana cost to revive your creature.
- Monster flees: The monster runs away from you before the battle ends. You will gain a small amount of XP based on type and damage caused to its HP.
- You flee: You run away from a fight. No penalty will apply but you also won’t get XP. Any resources spent in the fight will be lost.
- Monster captured: You were able to successfully capture the monster! This monster will now be available to fight for you and level up and you’ll be able to know its exact stats and abilities. If your roster is full the creature will be sent to your storage.
Battle anatomy
Battle will be familiar to those who enjoy and play turn based RPGs.
Whether engaged in PvE or PvP, battlers will have a set amount of time to choose from a variety of actions or skills. The action is then executed, and its effectiveness is determined by a mix of factors, including luck (random number generation), the opponent’s stats, and the opponent’s previous choices.
In PvE, there are multiple outcomes (see Battle outcomes (PvE)).
In PvP, the aim is to reduce all your opponent’s monster’s HP to zero.
The Healer role
The Healer system is a unique take on the classic battler. The mechanics should be immediately familiar to most gamers, but new and nuanced enough to add a nice twist of strategy.
Healers are humanoid monster trainers—the Player’s character is one of these Healers.
Each battle has at least one Healer (the Player), and at most two (during PvP).
Healers have their own stats and skills that can drastically change the tide of battle. As the name implies, most of this is through healing your own monsters. A basic heal action restores some amount of your monster’s HP. More advanced skills and abilities can grant buffs to the monster, or nerfs to the opponent, change battle rules, etc.
Using healing skills drains a Player’s mana, which does not fully recharge between battles. This lack of recharge means that the Player must be judicious in the use of their healing skills.
Strategic and efficient use of healing and mana will result in the fastest and most rewarding progression in the game.
Capturing monsters
Monsters that you encounter in PvE can be added to your roster of collected monsters. They can be trained and used in future PvE and PvP battles.
A monster must have low (but not 0) HP in order to be captured. The “sweet spot” is different for each monster. An opponent monster’s exact HP may not always be available for the Player to see, so instinct, practice, and trial and error will be a big part of capturing monsters.
Capturing the “right” monsters also adds a layer of meta-strategy. Most PvE monsters will be serviceable, but a competitive Player will want to be discerning and aim to capture rare and powerful monsters. Which monsters are which are not always apparent on the surface, so Players will need to pay attention to clues during a fight to see which wild monsters may have special skills or unusual stats.
Capturing will require its own tool, a capturing device powered by laser ammo and empty cards that will potentially hold your future monster if caught successfully. The ammo and cards may vary in strength based on its rarities. It’ll be a futuristic polaroid camera that shoots a laser beam to attempt to capture a weakened monster then prints out a card containing it and revealing its exact stats.
Leveling and training monsters
Monsters gain experience every time they fight. Once they hit an XP threshold, they will level up and gain stats. This system will feel very familiar to anyone who has played an RPG game.
HoloZing’s leveling system does have one unique aspect: not all XP is treated equal!
For example, if your monster gets most of its XP by fighting monsters of a weaker type (i.e. you grind away with easy fights), the stat-gain upon leveling will be low or modest. Conversely, if you are always engaging in challenging fights, when your monster levels up it will enjoy a significantly higher roll on its stat increase and more XP.
This system allows casual collector types to enjoy progression without intense strategy, while also rewarding those who want to compete with a way to maximize their roster.
Arena battles (PvP)
PvP will allow players to challenge other players in their rank range for weekly rewards. Players will be able to earn $ZING based on where on the rank ladder they end up before the week is over. A minimum amount of ‘games played against unique players of equal win ratio’ will be required to be eligible for rewards.
Ladder brackets will also be split up between levels and other various categories (for instance only certain rarity creatures or healer items allowed) with rewards distributed to each ladder.
Professions
There will be a wide variety of professions to choose from and level up.
These include gathering professions like Botany, Mining, and Scavanging, or crafting professions such as Cooking, Alchemy, Engineering, Forging, and more. For many Players, professions will be necessary to progress in the game or to trade your way into gear upgrades, enchantments, and other cool items.
We have also planned a passive way to earn gathering materials while offline to help discourage bots and farmers.
Professions will be a big part of the game’s economy in terms of crafting items players can use in-game and outside of battles.
Tokenomics
This section describes the game’s economy from a web3 perspective. Unlike traditional games, the $ZING token is much more than an in-game currency. As a cryptocurrency (fungible token) it can be traded on secondary markets, used by other Hive-based projects, held by non-Players, and a huge range of other creative uses enabled by Web3 technology.
An instinctive question many folks have is, “Does this mean I can make money by playing HoloZing?”
The short answer is yes—but exactly how much depends on a multitude of factors and is a more complicated discussion. This section explores the raw technical facts and plans for both the $ZING token and other ownable and tradeable game assets (non-fungible tokens, aka NFTs).
The $ZING token
$ZING is the game’s main currency. It is used for many things in-game, including:
- Item recharges (e.g. your Capturing Device)
- Crafting gear and gear upgrades/enhancements
- Crafting consumables along with other materials
- Cosmetics
- Tournament entry
- Progression
Because HoloZing is a Web3 game, you are able to trade or send $ZING tokens to anyone else who has a Hive Engine wallet (whether they play the game or not is irrelevant). The game cannot do anything to your $ZING—it belongs only to the person who holds the cryptographic keys to the Hive Engine wallet.
It is also possible to “stake” $ZING tokens. This means you make them unusable and untradable (but you still own and control them). If you wish to un-stake the tokens, you must wait for a predetermined amount of time before you can get them back (four weeks is a common timeframe). Doing this can help bring stability to the token economy, and it sends a signal to everyone else that you won’t sell or use these tokens for a while. Many projects give rewards to people who stake their tokens. Most of the distribution will occur in staked Zing while some rewards may happen in liquid Zing.
$ZING Distribution
Full distribution plans for $ZING will be announced soon. What we can say is that to start, we will reward HP delegation and POSH holders with staked $ZING. Those pending rewards will be claimable once every hour. The amount going to POSH holders will be limited based on how much POSH assisted on kickstarting the funding of this project.
Future plans for distribution include activity-based rewards, such as:
- Tournaments/weekly ranked ladders
- Creature collection, based on amount of creatures caught and their rarities
- In-game Professions
- In-game items and gear
- In-game achievements and titles
Transferring assets
Moving your assets from in-game to on-chain requires the signing of a blockchain transaction. On many blockchains, this costs “gas” and can be prohibitively expensive.
HoloZing is built on the Hive blockchain and ecosystem, meaning that transfer fees are 100% free. Hive uses something called Resource Credits (RC) to pay for gas. Every Hive account has a small amount of RC that recharges every day. You can get much more RC by staking $HIVE tokens as Hive Power (HP) or by receiving delegated RC directly.
If you are transferring your $ZING tokens infrequently (e.g. once or twice a day), you will never need to worry about RC or HP.
If you want to participate in more complex and involved Hive actions (e.g. buying/selling $ZING, transferring NFTs, performing certain actions in-game that rely on the Hive blockchain, earning crypto by posting about Zing or other topics on Hive), we recommend acquiring and staking about 10 $HIVE to be able to do this comfortably. Other Hive users can also delegate you both HP or RC, so if you cannot afford the $HIVE, ask a guildmate or friend.

We will be updating you with posts on new additions to the Whitepaper and upcoming exciting details on Healers, Monsters, items, professions, and much more!
Token Claimdrop Launch
For the project to remain as fair as possible to users we're announcing the token launch ahead of time to let everyone prepare to participate from the very beginning.
Website: https://holozing.com/
Launch Date: 7:00 PM (19:00) UTC on Saturday the 21st of October 2023.
Details:
To participate in the token launch, you will have to delegate Hive Power to the @zingtoken account and/or have POSH tokens in your hive-engine wallet and log on to the website once to register. Following that and past the date mentioned above, you'll be able to claim staked Zing to your account on the rewards page once every hour. These tokens will appear on your hive-engine wallet.
Make sure to delegate at least an hour in advance to launch time to be one of the first to claim and to sign up using Keychain on the website when login is made available a day prior to launch.
Further details on token inflation, POSH's role and reason towards its claimdrop, and more to be posted a day before the launch along with a reminder to sign up on the website and to be ready!
Announcing: My collective usernames of @holoz0r, @holozaps, @holozor are in no way affiliated with @holozing game. :D
:D
Looking forward to playing this game, I already delegated 1k hive to show my support, token name sound cool too @zingtoken
That's freaking cool! i would suggest cool evolutions and a great "single player" adventure for people that don't prefer competition. Having said that try not to make the game too complicated, maybe a mixture of both to attract more people. I read that you are trying to do that, just saying as well, cause balance is the key to attract different kind of players!
Love the idea of no pre-mine and non-profit.
In what ways is the team being reimbursed for consistency and commitment? At least until zing reaches a good price point.
Does capturing only apply to "wild" monsters or can opponents' monsters be also captured in pvp battles?
I like the flee mechanics. Takes out winning rewards from the equation and leaving the winner with just partial rewards. I believe it removes some botting/abuse potential.
Very excited to see this come to fruition. I see inspiration from a lot of my favourite childhood games here. Solid team 👍
The team, maintenance and development has been receiving Hive directly and will continue to do so, that's why the game has no "pre-mine" instead of allocating tokens to team members with unknown value. The community is basically exchanging Hive for Zing through delegations if they believe in the project and that it will do well over time, eventually they'll also be able to buy healer characters and starter packs to play and everything is used for costs.
You won't be able to capture other players' creatures no, but maybe that could be a feature for those who want later on when we know no bugs can occur. :D
What happens if we don't claim our Zing on the hour? Does it keep increasing or is it capped at the one hour mark until a claim is made? What is the delegate to claim amount formula and how does it differ from the formula for those holding POSH? Is there an advantage to delegating more? If so is there a cap on that?
Nothing happens if you don't claim every hour, it's not capped. We just decided on people being able to claim once and hour rather than stressing the math too much on updating too often for everyone. We'll let you know about the difference in allocation between HP delegations, POSH holdings and staking rewards along with liquidity providers on hive-engine in the next post before token goes live!
Really excited to see this unveiled, and excited for you, too. Quite the accomplishment to get this far! I can only imagine how much work and coordination it took.
I'm all in and can't wait to play. I just delegated 1000 HP to support the cause. I know it's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it's a big chunk of my stack. Consider it my vote of confidence in the team and the game. It's also a great way to show my appreciation for all you continue to do for this ecosystem.
Pumped!
Hey, cheers! Make sure to set an alarm to remind you to log onto the website approximately a day before claimdrop launch which will register you to the claimdrop! We'll post about it when registrations are open a day or so before it starts!
Dope more development work happing love to see it!
Do delegations of Hive power got to @posh or some other account to be counted?
It'll be a different account, @zingtoken
Thank you!
You could also do the Posh account though as well and earn posh tokens correct which are somewhat counted towards the airdrop too?
Yeah @poshtoken delegation earnings won't change (until before we hit 1m POSH hardcap). Both hp delegations to @zingtoken and posh holdings will give continuous claimdrops, the only difference is that the zing claimdrops to POSH holders will be time-limited and lower amount than to HP delegations.
Sounds awesome! I hope you all the success! Being a game dev here on Hive I love seeing others use the chain in fun ways. I'll be sure to keep up with this project!
I am excited that a new game is coming to Hive. The art looks nice and cute. I am curious about the tokenomics. What is written on the post is generic, but I am curious on how you will solve the usual problems of NFT games. Too much currency being released, bots extracting a lot of ZING, pump and dumps, are there enough use cases and burn mechanisms to combat inflation, etc. I look forward to seeing the progress of this game.
That's definitely something we've given a lot of thought to and why we'll be very careful going forward with distribution, but one thing is certain is that the game needs more funding and what better way than to let the community directly do that through delegations and future sales knowing it'll all be used towards the game.
It is reassuring to hear that. The delegation is something unique and I really like the idea. It helps keep the token stable, while also encouraging more interaction in HIVE.
Greetings to the @holozing team, I had pending to read this post very calmly and pay attention to every detail.
The truth is that I am very motivated and with great expectations with results and experiences that this project/game can generate, it makes me remember my time when I played Pokemon in its different versions of consoles and devices.
I wish the best to the project and from this moment they will count me as a future player when they launch the game.
Reading the post, it fueled my imagination and creativity, for the moment it came to my mind a Pokemon game I played some time ago called Pokemon Reloaded.
As I just mentioned, I reaffirm my presence as a player in the future, since yesterday I showed a gesture of support with a humble delegation of HP, since I am not an outstanding Hive user, I don't have much Hive Power in my account, but later as I can, I will show my support by increasing the balance of Hive Power I currently have delegated to the project.
I will continue to update you on the progress you have made in the most recent posts (from today, I won't miss another update post from the @holozing team).
Many thanks to @acidyo for wanting to share with us his passion and make it come true through this project, which I am very sure will be the result of beautiful experiences for the users who want to be part of this.
Cool, hadn't heard of that version of the game, will take a look.
Thanks for the kind words and looking forward to see everyone playing it asap!
Really? I highly recommend it.
I'm sure it will inspire you for future updates of Holozing, the most characteristic in my opinion of this version of pokemon, is the gameplay, because normally pokemon games, the battles are turn-based and the animation is in 2D, in this version the animation and is in 3D and the gameplay allows the pokemon in the battles have clashes in a kind of arena, where they can move and launch their attacks, special attacks throughout the combat area established.
You definitely have to try it.
Thanks to you @acidyo, I can't wait to start playing!
Very interesting. Very, very interesting.
If you manage to make this project as interesting as you imagine it now - it can become a better crypto game in the future.
See yous in PVP.
Glad to see such activity in the comments.
nice I like how this will be on mobile as well~ i assume there will be some sort of story or progress based quest system in the game. I don't think I saw this in the article and will be it be a bit like mmo where we can see other players since its also inspired by WoW. I'm kind of excited to see this happen because im thinking there could also be like raid battles and it can really gather people and build a community with guilds and stuff as well. A lot of potential.
Open world free roaming is definitely part of future plans but we'll be starting slow in phases as we move forward using mainly the website and the battle system to begin with!
O.O sounds good. I'm excited for this. I trust you guys will do better than this project i went in. Similar idea but they have terrible communication TT
https://twitter.com/nftchampions
hadn't heard of it before, but we'll try our best to make this a long-lasting game that'll continuously improve with the help of the community and everyone involved! I think Hive games have a decent track record in that regard.
oh ya cuz O.O it died down after bullrun. graphics wise awesome just bad communication with team :( and a lot of bugs too. not to mention not meeting up to what they said they would do like weekly dev update / weekly ama O.O it just stops
We definitely wanna make the most out of both the PvE and PvP aspects of the game, though so you're not far off. :)
awesome :D also looking for the the P+PvE
sidenote any chance u guys will do pfps too O.O like unique ones. id be down to buy if affordable :P
with pfps do you mean profile pics? like generative art such as splinterlands' runi?
well ya something like that but please better than runi lol runi ugly no offense
Yeah, the healer characters will be different classes but when you mint one they'll all have quite unique looks (but still somewhat relevant to their class). They'll be the more "cosmetic" characters in the game but with similar base stats.
oh i see any leaks to how much one will cost O.O 10hbd?
Finally, a new game for #Hive. I have actually been waiting for a game to be made here at #Hive, and my wait is now over. To be honest, this gets me excited because we finally get to have a game on our beloved #Hive blockchain.
Everything is crystal clear, all of the things that I need to know are discussed. A job well done. I will be looking forward to its launch, #Hive is going strong 💪
I mean there's quite a few games on Hive already, but I think this one will definitely have a unique start and distribution phase along with community input and assistance in the near future to make it as great as it can be :)
I agree, and I am sure that it will be great, I am so excited for its release 😊
I am very happy to see a new game! I have never played a role game before, so it will be an amazing opportunity for me!
Delegated some HP and look forward for October 21st!
All the best, you got the flair, you got the best TEAM you could have ... LET'S DO IT!
Interesting setting and I have tons of questions xD. Looking forward to seeing more. Love the star-studded lineup.
I like the concept of the game, I think it is very successful, at least for my taste. Not knowing what I'm up against would make me nervous, but also very excited, and obviously I would put my mind to work to be able to defeat the monsters, I hope it would be really fun. It would be interesting to have a bit of the future in our hands, so no doubt this game will be one of my priorities this 2024. Good job!
Hell ya. Can’t wait to see a new game launched here on hive.
This sounds like so much fun, can't wait to play this!
I can't believe it will be a pokemon-style game, I'm looking forward to starting! I hope everything goes well, let's go with everything!
I'm a 90's gamer too. I grew up playing games like Final Fantasy and Pokemon.
I am a passionate supporter of creating such projects on the blockchain (and in particular on Hive), I think it can restore the MMORPG world.
@muterra is another project I support (with the few resources I have). I am glad that your project also focuses on this genre, and I am pleased with the unique direction that each of these projects took.
good luck to you!
And thanks for the thing you create for us, gamers
Hive games are one of my great passions and I will follow this project with pleasure and interest especially because most of the games I have joined so far have only ever had one goal: short-term gain
And I was very pleased to read this part:
Plus I love TCGs with gameplay at their core.

@tipu curate
Looking forward to playing the game when it's released! 😀
Sounds zingy! 🤡😀
How long will the claim drop last?
No end-date in mind, will have to edit that into the token distri post that just went out, thanks.
Do the hourly claims pile up — where you can just claim all 24hrs once a day?
Or do you have to manually claim every hour each day to maximize your claim drop — if you miss a claim after the hour window it disappears?
Yeah you'll be able to claim whenever you want, only reason to do it more often would be for higher staking rewards really.
Got it. So same as HP rewards 👍
Dope! Checking out the post now. 🤝
This new project is really interesting. and there are already so many interested players. very good 😀
Wow a new game launch with the Hive blockchain backup. 👏
This pay to play platform is quite innovative and a well thought out and progressive game within the ecosystem with engaging PVP game play and token mechanism that eliminates unnecessary grinding.
This is really a good thing for decentralization and from your article about $ZING distribution, I can see that $ZING released as rewards would help rationalise the circulating supply which could curb heavy market order influence by whales.
Great initiative. I must say. I can't wait for the game to launch. LFG🔥
This sounds like the first Web3 game that I will actually enjoy. Artwork looks amazing and I can’t wait to see those starters. My calendar and alarms are set, I won’t be missing out on this game. A team full of people I know will execute too. This is just what we need.
I'm here for the art, it looks insanely good!!! I'm looking forward to this🤗
Very, very cool! I've delegated 75 HP, and I wish you guys the best of luck. I love to see passionate development like this on #Hive. Cheers! 🙏

ENTER @WIN.HIVE'S DAILY DRAW AND WIN HIVE!@holozing, I sent you an
Super excited about this game. I like the new games that are being developed on HIVE, I dont even need a console anymore, just HIVE games on computer and mobile.
Love it! Can’t wait to catch and train up some monsters and even do some mining.
Best of luck. Y’all will do great! 🙂
Good to see another game on the blockchain and great to see POSH continuing to have its uses. I must admit I did wonder what would become of that since X has well and truly moved the API goalposts.
Good luck to all involved.
Thanks, aside from this big project we already have plans for POSH to get involved in other future smaller projects that'll be beneficial to Hive and its users and naturally also those who earned POSH and kept them all these years. Hope to share more info on that soon but for now let's claim some zing in a few days. :)
Great job Team! I am sure this game is going to be great as it reminds me very closely Pokemon and therefore, if I will find time I will try to play it as well!
wow super excited, looks like a fun game :)
way to go for it @acidyo! sometimes when you have a vision for a game, you gotta just make it.
You're right :) cheers
Smart wallpaper to attract the Pokémon fans eye (everyone is one right?). Delegated some HP to support and looking forward to the project!
I can't wait to play this game :)

@acidyo - don't forget that you also have a built in Hive Chat through your community using the Open Source Decentralized "Sting Chat" protocol.
It already exists and is live and can be a great way for members of the community to hear about, discuss, etc... all with their Hive Accounts rather than going off platform to Discord.

Need to check this out, the few times early on I tried it it wouldn't load afaik
Hive needs more games! I'm glad to see great additions like this with a robust team behind it! 😎💪
Cool delegated 1000 HP :)
Good luck with the project!
Oh, WOW! That was a nice surprise. Glad to see so many reputed names associated with this project. Love the name HoloZing, reminds me of HollowKnight :)
Time to play some Pokemon games again to get back in trainer mindset...eh?

I have practically all of my HP delegated (mainly to my posting account). Is it ok if I only delegate a few HIVE before the date and more after I undelegate some?
One of the reasons we posted this announcement ahead of the token launch was to give people time to undelegate if they needed to. ^^
Awesome! Thanks for the answers!
It will update hourly based on the delegation at the time so no worries you can change at any time!
Seems exciting!!
Thanks acidyo and team. Will be sure to play this game and be there for token launch.
This project looks very promising! Will definitely delegate some hp and dropped afollow to stay up-2-date!
Pokemon nostalgia but on the Hive Blockchain, looks awesome!
I'm really excited about this game. From what I understand it will have mechanics similar to catching Pokemon. I've stopped playing web 3 games for a while but with this I'll be back! Thank you so much @acidyo, @straw and everyone on the team.
Exciting times indeed! Eager to see what you guys have put up. Great team combination and as always I am going to support you all as much as I can.
As I read the staking section, I thought it might be an idea to get NFTs. For example, staking a certain number of tokens for a certain period will allow the player to obtain exclusive nfts. another incentive not to sell tokens
We definitely have a lot of unique ways to reward users in the pipeline, we'll have to see if there's room for "holding" rewards but to start off with we'll focus more on the gaming aspect when it is playable.
love to see it! ready to test this game
