For the ones who live in France, in Lyon:

There were many of you joining us on October 24th from 7pm to 10pm at the Meltdown gaming bar in Lyon! Here was the planning of the party on the Facebook event (in French).
It was a great opportunity to meet our studio team and challenge us on our own game. There was even a game contest on site for a chance to win goodies and drinks!

Jeu concours Beyond the Void sur Twitter

We wish to thank all the participants for this game contest. You’ve shared funny and colorful photos from you and your friends during the Beyond the Void night. It was hard to choose the 2 funniest winners, but here they are 😁:

Congratulations! They won an outstanding Beyond the Void mouse mat and 1-meter of shots to be shared with their friends during the evening. Look how cheerful they were:

 

Have you met our special guest « Seigneur Necron » at the launch party night?

He is one of our earliest fans. Seigneur Necron supported us through thick and thin from the early days and has played in many tournaments.  By the way, he is the winner of the most recent tournament on Beyond the void!
Seigneur Necron traveled all the way from the northern part of France to be with us and launch the game together, it was a very special day.
The day after the launch, we gave him a tour of our studio B2Expand where he met the whole team. He also got a glimpse of the projects we’re working on (to be announced real soon!). We hope to have more days like this!

Thank you for being part of our community!

Interview: Xoza1n, Great Nexium War champion

Would you like to tell us a bit about you?

I’m a 22-year-old student in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science: Information Security, from Izhevsk in Russia. I learned about the blockchain not too long ago; I met a wealthy man who told me about the blockchain. As a student, I try to not burden my parents. I recognized the blockchain as an opportunity to become financially independent and decided to try it.

 

How did you discover BTV?

I was looking for some interesting currency on Bittrex and came across the Nexium (NXC), Beyond the Void’s (BTV’s) game token. I wanted to play it, but access was closed. So I waited eagerly for BTV’s Early Access to arrive.

 

B2Expand combines the blockchain and gaming in BTV project. What do you think about this new concept?

It lets people turn the game into something more than an entertaining hobby; it can also generate income. Thanks to BTV, I’ve earned money while having fun. It’s great to be able to win NXC during tournaments. Participating in tournaments and winning money is not work, it’s a more exciting form of entertainment. As a player, I have seen many sites that give out cryptocurrency rewards for competitions.

Thanks to the blockchain, players really own their gaming assets. That’s great because, in other games, purchased game tokens/currency can only be spent inside the game. In other games, I’ve won more than 200 tournaments and about 100 tournaments 1*1, but I’ve not actually received anything from it, only a set of images in the game. Although League of Legends added real rewards for achievements in the game in late summer, the best players won jackets and medals.

As BTV becomes even more popular, lots of players will be motivated by both the competition and the chance to win NXC.

 

In the last two BTV tournaments, we’ve seen how you love to compete. What motivates you?

I used to play DOTA. Then, I switched to League of Legends and participated in many 2vs2 and 1vs1 tournaments. After three years as a member of the champion league, I have become the team leader.

I would like to progress in BTV, where the main matches are 1*1, because:

  1. I like to win =) and the prizes are good.
  2. I’m always happy to play against strong opponents. Not just during tournaments, I always offer to play if the opponent says they’re good.
  3. It’s fun because you can see the reactions of people watching your game.
  4. I want to be an active player and hope this will help the development of BTV.

 

What’s your favorite strategy?

My favorite strategy was to play Fusion before the update that nerfed it (one of the motherships/champions in BTV) to keep the enemies beyond the range of attack. Now, as in my first games, I prefer to use EMP ability (Electro Magnetic Pulse – stuns everything within a radius for several seconds). This skill was very useful in the last tournament, I killed the enemy and survived with 1 HP, but the enemy was revived and came to me, hitting the EMP; he got my mothership’s ultimate and other abilities and attacked me, then he died without leaving the stun.

I often select skills based on the enemy ship. For example, playing against Excalibur, it is desirable to have the jump ability to break through and escape from the radius of the ultimate; whereas, against the walls of the K2’s, it is better to choose a speed that lets you circle around.

 

As the winner of the two last BTV tournaments, you’re starting to become a legend in the growing BTV community. How do you feel about that?

I hope I will show you a lot more wins 😉

 

Are there some tips you would you like to share with new players?

Often, I see players who only take one planet at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the game, there are two neutral planets. A typical player takes one. However, I think you shouldn’t settle for one. You have to fight for both of them because it’s the first step toward victory.

 

How do you see the future of BTV?

I see about 10 base ships with different skins and ulti.
Presently, the game has few skills. With more skills, players would have the opportunity to test and develop different strategies for defeating their enemies. It’s a good way to develop your strategic and personal abilities.

I’ve met lots of players. Many leave the game after being defeated. They don’t try to understand the game, or maybe the game does not meet their expectations. I think they should not just give up. There are already countless battles under development, and crafted skills will be added to the game later. I believe that the time will come when I will see new names at the beginning of every fight, because there will be so many players waiting to play.

Let’s continue the Great Nexium War annually, and let’s add more strategies and fun :D.
