Tale of Thales: Infinity Hotel
Tale of Thales is coming full circle, from a wild idea for an onboarding tool to a metaverse for the community to engage in a non-traditional way.
Those that have been completing daily quests for some in-game coins… now those can be used in the Infinity Hotel to create (and decorate! 🎨) your own room inside the hotel for everyone in town to visit!
But let’s not get too ahead here.
Back to the basics first.
Tale of Thales evolution
For those that don’t know about Tale of Thales, here’s the brief:
Tale of Thales is a free-to-play onboarding 8-bit style game that introduces Thales protocol, how the markets work, and some of the lore regarding the historic figure of Thales (the philosopher) and its ancient Greek surroundings.
It was initially developed for a single player to explore all the pixelated corners of Miletus while learning the in and outs of Thales. This game modality is called Story mode and it's accessible to anyone here (make sure to select the Story tab).
After receiving a lot of praise for the initial release, a dream started to form…
What if having many concurrent players that could interact among them was possible?
With this thought in mind, the Metaverse version of Tale of Thales was developed and released along a fantastic fishing competition!
The community had lots of fun trying to get the best catch and competing for the most coveted fisherman NFTs (that were available only for the top fishermen!).
But those weren’t the only NFTs available for the Thales community!
Thales stakers were able to mint the Miletus soldier NFTs while those who drove volume on any of the Thales’ platforms (Thales markets or Overtime) were able to mint the Bronze, Silver, or Gold soldier NFTs (you can see some people wandering around Miletus showing off their shiny armors!)
After this, the Metaverse continued to be open to everyone, inviting people to collect some in-game gold coins by doing some daily quests.
And now the time has come for those gold coins to be used!
Introducing the Infinity Hotel
Back in the day, Miletus didn’t have a place to spend the hard-earned gold coins, and everyone in town was just waiting for the super coder to build a bridge to the Infinity Hotel…
And that time has finally come!
You can now access the Infinity Hotel and ask the keeper to create your own unique room.
Each room created gets an identifier number assigned to it (like real-life hotel rooms) and it's displayed on the lobby menu along with the number of people currently in the room (not like real-life hotel rooms 😆).
So, you have your room now, that’s pretty cool 😎
But… it feels a bit empty in here, isn’t it?
Time to visit the Furniture Provider!
If you go to Miletus market square you’ll find him. Best furniture prices in town, allegedly.
To buy some furniture from him you’ll need in-game gold coins. Those can be obtained by doing the daily quests inside Miletus (time to talk to the NPCs, *ehem* I mean your friendly Miletus neighbors)
What you can do inside your Infinity Hotel room
Now that you have some furniture, it's time to decorate your room!
You can get an infinite amount of combinations by using different placements, rotations, and custom colors! 🔥
There’s a guided mini-tutorial the first time you enter your room (that’s also accessible by clicking the blue info icon) with all this information.
You can also take some cool screenshots by clicking the purple 📷 button. When you click it, it will save an image of your room on your computer.
This is very useful for two reasons:
- By taking screenshots this way, when you click the 📷 button all the others visuals (status bar, backpack, etc) disappears making your screenshot look neat and clean
- Only screenshots taken this way are able to participate into the competition!
Competition? That’s right, let’s dive into it! 💪
Decorate your room and win some prizes!
So, now that you know all about this latest release, it's time to lay down how you can mint the Apprentice Wizard NFT and compete for one of the top 5 spots to get the limited edition Elder Wizard NFT + 200 THALES + Custom Discord role.
How to mint the Apprentice Wizard NFT
That’s pretty simple. Just create a room by talking to the Infinity Hotel keeper and you’ll be whitelisted!
