Worlds Apart (video game): Difference between revisions
(This is still an off-hand remark about the tech, not the game itself and the reporter stating her opinion. If it were a direct reason why the game itself has encountered problems, then it'd be worth mentioning. Also, the article has been removed so replacing link with an archive.) Tag: 2017 source edit |
(No, it's not an opinion of the journalist, it's a fact, one they specifically backed up with a citation. Again, it's about the tech INSOFAR AS THIS IS SAID TO BE WHY THE TECH WAS CHOSEN FOR THE GAME. So it's relevant to the game in the same sense that commenting on the motivations on creatives for other stories is relevant.) Tag: 2017 source edit |

Worlds Apart was a Doctor Who-themed digital trading card game launched in open beta in 2022 on PC, made by Reality+.[1]
Limited edition packs with five cards began being distributed in October, 2020, which, once sold out, were not available for purchase again. As with physical card games, cards come in a variety of rarities and will feature a variety of creatures and characters from the history of the series. Distinct from most games, the developers decided to distinguish between the cosmetic aspects of the item, a card frame, and the actual card itself, and these things are customizable and sold separately.[2] In order to insure that there were no disputes over who owned what game pieces, Reality Gaming Group decided to implement blockchain technology for use in this game.[1][3]
After the October wave of releases, players were able to acquire more cards in sets.[4] The game went into early access alpha in December 2021[5] and open beta in October 2022.[6]
