Parsec - A new Game on WAX

About a week ago, while I was curating for @ourpick, I found a post by @rimurutempest about a new game on WAX. The game is called Parsec and it reminds me a bit of alienworlds, terracore or golemoverlord. I had a look at the game and decided to give it a try.

After one week of playing, here a little overview of what I have learned so far.

The theme of the game is spatial colonization. After choosing your planet and the fraction that you want to join, you start to colonize the planet and dig for resources. The game was launched on the first of September so it's only two weeks old and therefore it's still very early to join.

Free to join and free to earn

In this game, you can start your colony without any prior investments. You only need some staked WAX on your wallet to have enough RC for transactions. I believe around 100 staked WAX are enough. If you have no WAX, check this tutorial how you can easily transfer funds from hive-engine to wax.

The first steps

After selecting which planet you want to settle on and what fraction (Republic, Empire or Rebels) you want to join, you need to make your first choices. You start with some free resources that you need to spend wisely.

Energy

To generate any type of resources, you need to have enough energy to power the extraction. The first thing to invest in is a solar panel that will provide energy for your mines. Whenever you build something, it will cost you resources. So don't buy more than one solar panel at the beginning.

Later on, when you have enough resources, you will be able to upgrade your nuclar power plant for more energy.

The more you develop your resources, the more energy you will need.

Titanium

Titanium is one of the primary resources that you will need to develop your colony. Start by upgrading your Titanium mine to level one once you have enough energy to power it.

Ruthenium

You will also need Ruthenium to develop your civilization, especially for your research. I suggest developing the Ruthenium Mine one level below than the titanium mine.

Helium

To develop your nuclear central, you will need Helium. This is the third resource that you have to generate.

Food

Finally, the last resource that you need to accumulate is Food that can be produced through a Farm. So far, I haven't used much of the food but with the further developments, this will play a major role.

Research

Once you have a nice working economy, you can start to research technology that will help you at a later stage. For the moment, not all technologies are really useful but I think it's good to get them developed before their real use case. I'm mainly developping the warehouse to store more resources.

Development and earning possibilities

So far the game is limited to resources and to research but there are a lot of menus that will be unlocked at a later stage.

You will be able to build ships that can be transformed into NFT's. You will be able to use your fleet to trade goods and earn fractals. Fractals can be exchanged for WAX. There will be also a kind of defense and attack mechanism and missions.

It's not possible to say whether the game will be a success or not but I like how it is built and the fact that you can play it for free. I've made some very nice experiences joining games early on. Most of the time, this offers an advantage that pays at a later stage...
