The Homeland Avatar Mode
Imagine traversing the lush landscapes and bustling villages of the Lunacia, with your favorite Axie leading the way. In this early release of Avatar Mode, you can:
Travel Across the Homeland: Roam freely with your Axie avatar. Visit various plots and the four vibrant villages: Goldenwind, Evergreen, Winterblue, and Hazymoon.
Socialize in Real-Time: Meet other Lunacians in real time and engage with them using our new chat feature. Communicate through general, local, and world channels. Add flair to your conversations with emojis.
How to Navigate Avatar Mode
Getting started in Avatar Mode is simple and intuitive. Here’s a quick guide:
Choose Your Avatar: Select your favorite NFT Axie to represent you in Homeland Avatar Mode.
Controls: Navigate the world using WASD keys or point-and-click controls. If you're familiar with games like Stardew Valley, you'll find the controls quite similar and easy to use.
Explore and Visit: Lunacia is a vibrant and expansive world waiting to be explored. Travel across diverse landscapes, each offering unique experiences:
Visit Your Neighbor’s Plot: Discover what your fellow Lunacians have built. Walk through their gardens and structures, and perhaps even pick up some inspiration for your own plot.
Explore Villages: Each of the four villages—Goldenwind, Evergreen, Winterblue, and Hazymoon—has its own charm. Wander through the bustling village of Goldenwind, take a serene walk along the Evergreen forests, enjoy the snowy beauty of Winterblue, and soak in the mystical atmosphere of Hazymoon.
Portals: For those who prefer faster travel, use portals scattered throughout the Homeland to quickly jump from one location to another. Cover more ground and see more sights in less time.
Chat Features: Communicate with other players through various chat channels. Engage in local conversations or broadcast messages to the entire world.
General Chat: This channel allows you to converse with anyone in the Homeland. Share tips, ask questions, or just engage in casual banter.
Local Chat: Ideal for interacting with players in your immediate vicinity. Whether you're exploring a village or visiting a neighbor's plot, local chat helps you connect with those nearby.
Global Chat: Broadcast messages to all players across Homeland. This is perfect for making announcements, organizing meetups, or sharing exciting discoveries.
Emojis: Add a touch of personality to your messages with a wide range of emojis.
