Hi everyone! Today we are happy to kick off our dev diary that will let you discover more information about Extra Coin! And where should we start this journey if not from the heart of our game? Without any further ado let’s talk about the core mechanics!
Explore the city and its places
The Arcade is a virtual social network into which the entire world population has poured its existence. Its inhabitants live in a proper virtual city full of places to visit and things to do. You will lead Mika, the protagonist of our adventures, around such places, interacting with her unique NPCs and discovering the secrets behind the social network itself.
Duel against your foes!
In The Arcade the inhabitants are all part of a special ranking and everyone wants to climb it in order to achieve more fame and success. To do so, the inhabitants duel with each other during the so-called Match Days. Winning these matches will be crucial to Mika's fortune, as they will allow her to gain Followers, which can be used as currency inside The Arcade.
Develop your character
As you climb the ranking, matches will become more challenging. To cope with them at best, it’s essential that Mika gets stronger and stronger. Depending on your own playstyle, you’ll be able to develop her stats and talents, choosing from a wide range of ultimates and passive skills. If that is not enough, you can customize her appearance with a considerable amount of cosmetics. They won’t affect her performance on the pitch, but - you know - looks matter too.
Enjoy local activities, posting on your social profile
Dueling is not everything for the inhabitants of The Arcade. That’s why they enjoy the many activities available around the city on the so-called Free Days. Mika can spend her time at the training centre, go to a concert, relax at the cat café or maybe watch a movie. Whatever your choice is, each activity will grant her specific perks. At the end of it, Mika will also have to document it on her social profile. Feeding your followers is vital, so be careful with your posts too. Some followers may not like your content, ending up losing them. Remember: followers = money!
Make friends
No matter if The Arcade is a virtual world, relationships are still essential. That’s why Mika will be able to bond with other NPCs, becoming their friend and even unlocking special bromances that will influence the course of her story itself. There are plenty of characters you can interact with in the city. It’s up to you to find them all and pick the one you feel will have the biggest impact during your journey inside The Arcade. Choose your bestie wisely!
