Riot Racers quietly moved from a testing, free-race only phase into paid racing mode. And while there are still many unreleased features, Riot Racers is following the development model of solidifying the most important, base code before moving onto releasing additional features. Players who own both a Car and a Driver can now join in paid, and free races, all of which pay out rewards in RIOT tokens!
After testing the waters with weeks of free racing, Riot Racers moves onto the next stage of their racing game. Players now have the option of joining races with entry fees that provide rewards in RIOT tokens to the top three finishers.
In addition, the Riot Racers team recently introduced Racing School. These are free to enter races with a maximum of 3 entrants each. Everyone in these races wins just a little bit of RIOT token. These are meant to function practice races, allowing players a chance to try out different Driver, Car, and strategy combos in meaningful races without breaking the bank. Though there is no entrance fee for Racing School events, though they do require a captcha completion to discourage botting.
Spawning new Cars and Drivers
Soon there will be a system allowing Car and Driver owners to create the next generation of NFTs. It feels a little weird to refer to Cards ‘breeding’ to make new Cars, so Riot Racers is instead using the term ‘Spawning’. This new generation of Cars and Drivers will be part of the Artemis collection (tier 2). Cars and Drivers from the Artemis collection do not have rarities, and will only have basic designs.
Also, unlike Tier 1, Tier 2 NFTs have a limited lifespan. It’s unclear if this a real-time countdown, or based on the number of races entered. Either way, after a certain point Cars and Drivers from the Artemis collection will be retired and can no longer be used for racing. Tier 1 (Genesis) NFTs never retire and also provide bonuses during Spawning.
Spawning takes two NFTs as well as RIOT tokens and ETH. Each NFT has a limit of how often it can Spawn and total Spawning uses. Players can use their own assets for minting or rent them from the market.
You can match up any two cars to Spawn a new one. They don’t need to be matching classes. However, the Artemis class Car created from the mint will be the same class as the lower of the two parents, so that’s an important point to keep in mind.
When matching Drivers, sex does matter. A player needs one male Driver and one female Driver to spawn a new Driver. Drivers are spawned with random traits, making even the most lowly skilled Driver still useful. Mechas, which are Drivers that are neither male or female, will have a special use case in the future.
Rentals and other Updates
Rentals will be an important part of the Riot Racers ecosystem, especially since rented Drivers and Cars can be used to spawn new, Artemis class NFTs. This provides a lot of…
