Do you remember back in the days grinding your favorite games trying to reach the top level? Imagine that feeling of securing that exclusive achievement that brought you a special badge on your profile, that’s exactly what we’re trying to replicate in the upcoming launch on Epic Games. The concept is simple: win matches to level up your profile, and progress to unlock special rewards.

In reality, there’s a lot more to it, and we’re here to give you a little glimpse into the way we’re implementing both systems. Oh and when we say rewards, we really mean it.

Player progression – Make your way to the top

Are you ready to make your way to the top? Taking inspiration from basically every single game out there, we felt that currently, the player progression in Forgotten Playland is something that’s a little lacking. We want to give players an additional incentive to continue playing, and to keep challenging their friends.

Naturally, anyone that’s newly jumping into the game starts at level one. The level progression follows a linear leveling system all the way to level 60 for season 1. As you make your way through the game, there are four different ways to earn experience points (XP);

• Casual Game

• PlushKyn Battle

• Daily Quests

• Weekly Quests

After each completed game, quest or battle, you will earn a certain amount of XP that will contribute to the progression you’re making. Quests give a different rate of XP than battles or games do, and the amount of XP earned during the latter also depends on the position you end. Obviously, the player finishing number one earns more XP than the one who came in last.

With each level you gain, you unlock level-based rewards. We’re obviously not sharing every single reward that’s there, since we want to keep the element of surprise in, but you can expect anything from customized profile banners, titles, avatars and frames to emotes, stickers, cosmetics and much more.

Player profiling – Show off your efforts

Imagine you’re new to a game and you hop into a server to have some fun. You check who you’re playing against and immediately, you’re captivated by the titles, profile pictures, profile add-ons and levels that your competitors are holding. When you’ve put in a lot of effort into a game, you want others to see that, and it’s fair that you want to show off a little.

That’s why we’re introducing the Player Profile feature, where you can track a wide range of statistics about you as a player, or your fellow PlushKyns. Again, we’re not spoiling everything here yet, but the list below gives you a good impression of what to expect.

• Stats – Track your XP, time played, win ratio, games played and more.

• Level – Check your current level, total XP gained, and remaining XP to the next level.

• Avatar – Pick an avatar from a wide range of options.

• Avatar frame – Decorate the border of your avatar frame.

• Title – Show off your gamer title under the username on a banner e.g. “Tournament Winner”.

• Banner – Decorate your profile with a banner that can be seen during matches of a party game, or pre and post screens.

In the profile section there’s a distinction between the statistics that can only be earned, and others that could also be bought in the store. Certain banners or avatars are only for the select few who manage to beat the competition, whereas others can simply be bought in the store. Adding in these additional features will allow for further customization, and another layer of competition within Forgotten Playland.

Ready to grind?

These are two of those features that we simply can’t wait to release. It’s a perfect tool to see who the real grinders are, and we will see who simply can’t close the game. To motivate the grind, we’ll be spraying with rewards in tons of unique ways like we described above, but that’s not all. There will be an additional rewards system, that we have not revealed yet. Stay tuned as we dive into that soon™️.
