Mmm is a game I've been paying more attention to since Melody. I bought its NFT early on and applied when they said they were going to start the first round of closed beta testing. I finally got into the first round of closed beta testing. The first round of closed beta testing ended last night, and the time and rules for the second round of closed beta testing will be determined later. When the second round of closed beta testing ends, all players can enter and start playing.
Many friends in the gamefi group are also interested in mmmm. I will briefly talk about the basic rules and gameplay that I learned in the first round of internal testing. I will not write too detailed how to operate it, after all, it is relatively simple, and most people may have played stepn and melody before, so they are not unfamiliar with some basic operations.
Note: The following content is based on the white paper and the current internal test experience, and is not necessarily the final rules for the public test. I feel that some rules/gameplay/functions may be adjusted or optimized later. The details are as follows:
1. The energy model is similar to stepn. The energy is determined by the number of microphones in each account. For example, 1 microphone gets 2 energies per day, and 3 microphones get 4 energies per day. Energy is charged 4 times a day. However, it is not charged at a fixed time. If you do not consume it in time after it is full, the calculation will start again after you finish singing a song, and you will be charged again after 6 hours.
2. The upgrade model is similar to stepn. As the level increases, it takes more time and more messes. When you upgrade from level 4 to level 5, from level 9 to level 10, and from level 14 to level 15, you need more messes and fragments. In the internal test, the fragments can only be randomly opened from the treasure chest, but they can definitely be traded in the official version.
3. After singing a song once, the cooldown time is 72 hours. If you sing it again within 72 hours, you will only get 10% of the normal income. So here you won't see a situation like singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for many days in Melody. There are no children's songs here. So this is more difficult than Stepn's normal walking and running or Melody's one children's song to travel around the world. There are still many songs in the music library, and the quality is also good. There are no obviously bad versions like those in Melody. During the internal test, everyone also felt that the number of songs that can be sung has been increasing. I don't know if the cooldown time will be adjusted later. If it is not adjusted, if the big players have many microphones, you are required to either be a microphone master or find a professional to help you sing.
4. The singing levels are divided into sss, ss, s, a, b, c, and the benefits of each level are also different. This is similar to melody.
5. Each microphone has different modes, and different modes have corresponding graphic symbols. Each song in the music library also has different graphic symbols. That is, when singing with a certain microphone as the main microphone, go to the music library to select songs with the same graphic symbol as this main microphone, and then sing them, there will be a little more mess than singing songs with other graphic symbols. The playability and difficulty here may be a little greater than stepn and melody. But it should not increase the difficulty too much. Because the same song has three patterns marked below, which means that the microphone is suitable for three modes.
6. Treasure chests randomly drop when singing, which contain mess, mixed color fragments, and fragments of the same color as the main microphone that are needed for upgrading to integer levels later. Treasure chests are similar to stepn. As the level increases, the level of the box you get is higher, and there are more things in it. At the same time, the time to open the box also becomes longer. There are only 4 places to put the box. If you are in a hurry to open it, spend mess to open it. Mixed color fragments may be treated as any other fragments? I am not sure yet.
7. The white paper mentioned that some people without microphones can come to participate, and they may also have some benefits. Some friends said that they may launch a rental function that stepn did not come up with. This is not seen in the current version, but from the points I mentioned above, you should be able to see that it is indeed difficult for large users to have a 72-hour cooling-off period. If 9 songs are available in 9 energies per day, you need to be able to sing 27 songs to cycle through, which is still a bit difficult. From this perspective, it is difficult for large users to increase the volume, and coupled with facial recognition to prevent cheating, it may really be possible to have this rental-like function. If this mechanism is done well, those who sing well can first experience it without investing too much and get some benefits. Then, if the app is good, they may buy microphones themselves later. Considering that the above are relatively good singers (not single, there is no feeling of a bunch of adults singing nursery rhymes), it may also facilitate subsequent dissemination and marketing.
8. Facial recognition to prevent cheating. This is also specifically mentioned in the white paper. The technology should be good. At least it should be able to do it, which is impossible for one person to sing to two accounts on two phones at the same time.
9. Main microphone and auxiliary microphone. After the auxiliary microphone is upgraded to level 10, its attribute of being an auxiliary microphone to enhance the main microphone begins to play a role. However, the role of the auxiliary microphone seems to be limited at present. I don't know whether the project party will adjust the role or probability of the auxiliary microphone in the future.
10. I think the first round of internal testing is mainly to test some core functions and find some basic bugs. So the internal testing is more about experiencing functions such as singing upgrades. As for the transaction of coins, the transaction of fragments, etc., it is not visible yet.
11. Some of the features on melody that I think are good, such as rewards and KTV rooms, are not available in the current version. I think they will be good when the later versions are updated. In general, the current app is good in terms of smooth operation and rich music library. Of course, I also hope that the app functions will be more complete in the future and the project operation can be better.
When will similar tokens be launched? When will the public beta start? I don’t know either. We are all waiting. Mmm is freeminting NFT, which is quite impressive. By the way, they still have 1,000 NFTs to freemint, but of course they don’t know the rules yet. You can continue to follow the project’s DC, or join my gamefi group. I will post new news about Mmm in a timely manner.
