Typically in my posts I write about a single specific topic which can be a blockchain based game, a tutorial, a project built on Hive or a feature of Hive. In today's post I'm going to cover two games together, **Bang! Defense** and **Hashkings**, because they are two related projects. **Hashkings** is a **farming** game that you can play for a long time now. **Bang! Defense** is a **Tower Defense Game** that is still under development and you can't play it yet. The creator of Bang! Defense is @choof who is working on the development of the game together with the team of Hashkings. This explains why the two games are connected. The site of !Bang Defense is https://bangdefense.net/home/index.html On the home page of the site there is a video showing the game in development.  The idea that I got watching the demo video is that Bang! Defense will be a simple and immediate game to play and just its simplicity could be its great strength. Among the games built and developed on Hive only Splinterlands has at its base a skill game that requires time and that requires different strategic choices for each battle of the game, all other games such as Rising Star, Hashkings and Dcrops are games that require little time to be played, just a few clicks of the mouse per day, although all require calculations and evaluations for the choice of NFT to buy and / or sell. Bang! Defense will be mainly a **skill game** and for this peculiarity I decided to invest right away even if the game is in an initial investment phase and is not yet playable. On April 1, 2022 started the **Presale** of Bang! Defense which is still ongoing. At the opening of the presale there were 4 packs available for purchase: - **Common Pack: $4.50 Supply 7800** - **Rare Pack: $13.50 Supply 2225**. - **Epic Pack: $50 Supply 400**. - **Legendary Pack: $125 Supply 120**.  When I read the post announcing the presale, about 15 days ago, I immediately wrote down the day and the time and on April 1st at 8:00 p.m. Italian time I went to the Bang! Defence website to purchase the **Legendary pack**.  Goal achieved! Legendary packs sold out in no time and I was one of the lucky 120 to purchase one. In the following image you can see my inventory.  To purchase the legendary pack, I spent a total of **103,306** **SWAP.HIVE** tokens that had a value of **$125** at the time of purchase.  With my purchase I will receive: - **1 Legendary Blaster** - **42 General Crate** - **14 Tower Crate** - **21 Gun Crate** - **77 keys** I will need the keys to open the 77 crates I will receive. I will receive the contents of my legendary pack in successive steps as detailed in the following post from @hashkings: https://peakd.com/hashkings/@hashkings/what-to-expect-in-the-bang-presale ***  _{Screenshot from: https://peakd.com/hashkings/@hashkings/what-to-expect-in-the-bang-presale} *** The presale is still going on and even though the legendary packs have all been sold there are still all the other packs available for purchase.  Obviously **my post is not financial advice** but just sharing my personal choice to invest in Bang! Defense. Investing in a game in the initial development phase always has a risk margin to be considered and evaluated but on the other hand it has also a perspective of good profit if the game will succeed in the future. **So, dear reader, before investing in any project under development, always do your personal research and evaluation first.**  ## Hashkings: My Game Activity  I started my gaming and investing adventure on **Hashkings** on February 8, 2022. **Hashkings** is an NFT-based farming game created and developed on the most beautiful blockchain there is: **Hive** ;)  Game site: https://farm.hashkings.app/ Account on Hive: @hashkings Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KwtgbAsTVF Twitter account: https://twitter.com/HashkingsGame Whitepaper: https://hashkings-2.gitbook.io/getting-started/starting-on-hashkings Today I had my **fifth harvest** from my **4 NFT** type **Land** (4x South America) in which I planted 4 seeds of type **Panama Red**.  From the harvest I got a total of **1182** **BUDS** tokens.  The last time I checked the value of the BUDS tokens was 8 days ago ($0.3011 - Highest Bid). Today the value of **1** **BUDS** token is: - 0.00028998 SWAP.HIVE = $0.0003538 (Lowest Ask) - 0.00026810 SWAP.HIVE = $0.0003271 (Highest Bid)  From my harvest I got a value of **0.3142 HIVE = $0.3833**  From each harvest operation you have a 20% chance of receiving an NFT of the same Seed type as the one previously used. I wasn't lucky this week but I was lucky last week because I received a **Colombian Gold** seed and didn't realize it.  To get my production restarted I only purchased **3 seeds** from https://nftm.art/buy/hkfarm instead of 4. I bought 3 seeds **Panama Red** and the choice was very simple because the price of the only other type of seed plantable in my land (Colombian Gold) was much higher than the Panama Red as you can see from the data in the following image.  To purchase the **3** **Panama Red** seeds I spent a total of **156 BUDS**.  I had already purchased enough **HKWATER** tokens last week to water the seeds I would be planting today, so I immediately got my production going again. I burned all of the BUDS tokens I had in my in-game wallet to get a quantity of MOTA tokens that I will later be staking in the MOTA POOL for free seeds.  Also this week my farm proved to be self-sufficient because with the harvest income I got production going again and also made a small profit. In the past week I have also started testing the **RAIDS** feature of the game. I have a total of **34 avatars** of Hashkings that I have sent into RAIDS with the purpose of getting a daily reward in BUDS tokens.  I have not been very consistent in using the RAIDS feature and in fact in eight available days I have sent my avatars only 4 days.  From the Raids I got a total of **63** **BUDS** tokens. I will try to be more consistent this week. I haven't had time yet to study and evaluate the convenience or otherwise of the **FORGE** feature that is useful for increasing the strength and level of my avatars and I hope to do that later this week.  I hope you enjoyed this post of mine and if you like, follow me to read my future posts, guides and reports ;)  ## ***Important Note:***  **Blockchain-based games that allow people to buy and sell tokens are not just games but are also investments and should be treated as such!** In any type of investment there is always a **risk factor** to evaluate and consider. **I am not a financial advisor and the information contained in this post is not financial advice**. Before investing in a blockchain-based game you should always do your own research and personal evaluations. My advice is to always only invest what you can afford to lose with a light heart!

Defense Presale + Hashkings: My Game Activity ***  _{Logos owned by @Hashkings and Bang!Defense - Edit by @libertycrypto27 - Font used is Open Source}  In genere nei miei post scrivo di un singolo argomento specifico che può essere un gioco basato su blockchain, un tutorial, un progetto costruito su Hive o una funzionalità di Hive. Nel post di oggi tratterò due giochi insieme, **Bang! Defense** e **Hashkings**, perchè sono due progetti collegati tra di loro. **Hashkings** è un gioco di **farming** a cui è possibile giocare già da molto tempo. **Bang! Defense** è invece un **Tower Defense Game** che è ancora in fase di sviluppo e non è ancora possibile giocarci. Il creatore di Bang! Defense è @choof che sta lavorando allo sviluppo del gioco insieme al team di Hashkings. Ed ecco spiegato il motivo per cui i due giochi sono collegati tra di loro. Il sito di !Bang Defense è https://bangdefense.net/home/index.html Nella home page del sito c'è un video che mostra il gioco in fase di sviluppo.  L'idea che mi sono fatto guardando il video dimostrativo è che Bang! Defense sarà un gioco semplice e immediato da giocare e proprio la sua semplicità potrebbe essere il suo grande punto di forza. Tra i giochi costruiti e sviluppati su Hive solo Splinterlands ha alla base un gioco di abilità che richiede tempo e che richiede scelte strategiche diverse per ogni battaglia di gioco, tutti gli altri giochi come ad esempio Rising Star, Hashkings e Dcrops sono giochi che richiedono poco tempo per essere giocati, solo pochi click del mouse al giorno, anche se tutti richiedono calcoli e valutazioni per la scelta degli NFT da acquistare e/o vendere. Bang! Defense si affianca come tipologia di gioco a Splinterlands perchè sarà principalmente un **gioco di abilità** e per questa sua particolarità ho deciso di investire da subito anche se il gioco è in una fase di investimento iniziale e non è ancora giocabile. Il primo aprile 2022 è iniziata la **Presale** di Bang! Defense che è ancora in corso. All'apertura della presale i pacchi acquistabili erano 4: - **Common Pack: 4.50$ Supply 7800** - **Rare Pack: 13.50$ Supply 2225** - **Epic Pack: 50$ Supply 400** - **Legendary Pack: 125$ Supply 120**  Quando ho letto il post di annuncio della presale, circa 15 giorni fa, mi sono subito segnato il giorno e l'orario e il 1 aprile alle ore 20:00 italiane mi sono posizionato sul sito di Bang! Defence per effettuare l'acquisto del pack Leggendario.  Obiettivo raggiunto! I pacchi leggendari sono stati venduti in poco tempo e io sono stato uno dei 120 fortunati ad acquistarne uno. Nell'immagine seguente puoi vedere il mio inventario.  Per acquistare il pacco leggendario ho speso in totale **103.306** token **SWAP.HIVE** che al momento dell'acquisto avevano un valore di **125$**.  Con il mio acquisto riceverò: - **1 Legendary Blaster** - **42 General Crate** - **14 Tower Crate** - **21 Gun Crate** - **77 keys** Le keys mi serviranno per aprire i 77 crates che riceverò. Ho usato il futuro perchè riceverò il contenuto del mio pacco leggendario in fasi successive come precisato nel seguente post da @hashkings: https://peakd.com/hashkings/@hashkings/what-to-expect-in-the-bang-presale ***  _{Screenshot from: https://peakd.com/hashkings/@hashkings/what-to-expect-in-the-bang-presale} *** La presale è ancora in corso e anche se i pacchi leggendari sono stati tutti venduti ci sono ancora tutti gli altri pacchi disponibili all'acquisto.  Ovviamente il mio post non è un consiglio finanziario ma è solo la condivisione della mia personale scelta di investire su Bang! Defense. Investire in un gioco in fase di sviluppo iniziale ha sempre un margine di rischio da considerare e da valutare ma dall'altro lato ha anche una prospettiva di buon profitto se il gioco riuscirà ad avere successo in futuro. **Quindi caro lettore prima di investire in qualsiasi progetto in fase di sviluppo fai sempre prima le tue personali richerche e valutazioni.**  ## Hashkings: My Game Activity  Ho iniziato la mia avventura ludica e di investimento su Hashkings l'8 febbraio 2022. **Hashkings** è un gioco di farming basato su NFT creato e sviluppato sulla blockchain più bella che c'è: **Hive** ;)  Sito del gioco: https://farm.hashkings.app/ Account su Hive: @hashkings Canale Discord: https://discord.gg/KwtgbAsTVF Account Twitter: https://twitter.com/HashkingsGame Whitepaper: https://hashkings-2.gitbook.io/getting
