Attention, ZED Headz. It’s time for ZED RUN to evolve.
Introducing ZEDx - a comprehensive redesign of ZED RUN, and a revolutionary leap forward in on-chain digital horse racing.
A Fresh Start
ZEDx is a whole new gaming experience! We’re building from scratch, completely revamping breeding and racing by introducing new features such as 24/7 automated racing, dynamic auction breeding and spectator engagement.
Built on Your Feedback. Built for the Future.
ZEDx has been designed with your insights and continued feedback in mind. It takes the core elements you value in ZED RUN – entertainment, opportunity, skill and bragging rights – and injects simplicity and cutting-edge innovation.
Get ready for a faster, smoother, superior gameplay experience. Here's a taste of what awaits you:
24/7 Automated Races
No more waiting for races to fill! No more searching and filtering! ZEDx scheduled racing ensures all horses will automatically compete against horses of similar standings in the racing pool each day.
Dynamic Auction Breeding
Unlike ZED RUN's fixed stud fees, ZEDx uses dynamic auctions where mares can place bids on a stud they’d like to pair with, creating a demand-driven breeding market with a finite number of racehorses in the game’s racing pool at any given time.
Spectator Engagement
ZEDx is designed to be accessible to everyone. As well as racehorse owners, anyone unfamiliar with the game can jump in, choose horses to cheer on, enjoy the spectacle of the race plus plenty of opportunities to win prizes.
Racehorse Retirement
In ZEDx you can retire your horses from the racing pool. You decide how long you can outlast new challengers, review historical data, study trends, and retire strategically after maximising its potential. Ensure it gets a legendary farewell.
ZED Token Integration
$ZED Token will play a central role in ZEDx, and be key within the ownership layer of the game. Integrated into the core gaming loop, we’re bringing utility to the token and rewards to our players!
Enhanced UI/UX and Graphics
A redesigned UI/UX for intuitive navigation and effortless interaction, all optimised for mobile. Stunning Unreal Engine graphics (think NFT NYC!) elevate the Spectator Engagement loop, a core part of ZEDx. This is a fully-fledged immersive experience!
The Transition
Part of any rebuild requires changing how things were done in the past, from people to product. We're committed to taking ZEDx to the next level - here's how:
New Leadership
We've made significant changes to our leadership team, a new CEO, Nir Efrat with a proven track record in the gaming industry, Head of Product, Nick Ciesinski with extensive web3 gaming experience, and game design advisor, Margaret Robertson. Virtually Human Studio is focused on building the best version of ZEDx. A game that's engaging and scales to meet the needs of a growing community of owners and spectators.
Open Communication
We'll be upfront and informative about ZEDx's development, openly addressing concerns through regular communications including bi-weekly AMAs with our Head of Product, Twitter and Discord updates, user testing etc. You don’t have to take our word for it, check out our upcoming schedule - our actions will do the talking.
Legacy Rewards
You've been with ZED RUN through it all. You've seen the wins, the losses, and everything in between. As we transition into ZEDx, you can use that experience to set yourself up for a strong start in the new game. We’ll elaborate more in the AMA, but what we can tell you is you'll be rewarded in ZEDx based on your ZED RUN ownership AND your participation in ZED RUN between now and the launch.
ZEDx Beta Testing
Want a sneak peek at ZEDx and a chance to directly influence its development? We'll be inviting players to participate in the closed beta. Get ready to put ZEDx through its paces, provide feedback, and help us refine the experience before launch. Keep an eye out for details on how to apply!
We know you have questions and we’re committed to transparency through action, with regular progress updates to address them.
Join us as we build ZEDx – the next generation is coming, and it will be epic!For all the alpha - tune in to ZEDx AMA with Nir and Nick today, June 26, 2024 at 6 PM ET.
