Happy New Year from MOON! Game updates 2026
It was early 2025 when we started experimenting with the old open source code, SteemNova had forked from 2Moons repository - and it became Moon, an occasionally cutthroat, real-time strategy space building game built on HIVE and integrated with the PIZZA token.
One year ago this was a beta project dream in an open source repository that hadn't been touched in many years. And now it is a live game with 2 active universes! Frankly, if I recall correctly, this is a more successful run that steemnova managed - and I feel like its just getting started. Let's dive in - join anytime by registering:
Current Reward Pool: Universe 2: To the End of the Universe
So far, a number of posts have been published, review them here!
6. Quantum Gravity Breakthrough
5. Intrepid Explorers Expand throughout the 9 galaxies
4. Pizzabits power deep study AI's
3. Emergency Transmission: Abandon Galaxy 1!
2. What is new in Moon 2?
1. Moon 2 - To the End of the Universe!
We have an exciting and competitive universe, (by gameforge standards for sure!). Experienced ogame player @siddhartaz has risen to the top and the Eager Active Raidors of Noobs have risen to the top of the points ladder, even though (because? nah....) Eco didn't show up this time.
But points aren't everything! Its a fun game, a unique game and after an explosive and short season 1 in Universe 1, Universe 2 has been much longer, but still novel and exciting, after galaxy 1 was exploderated. Launched on August 19th, we are almost 6 months into this unique galactic empire builder real time strategy game.
There's not that much time left!
I should mention, for those of you familiar with the month and a half that was season 1, only one player so far in Universe 2 has achieved Graviton Research, and birthed a Death Fortress into this universe! Congrats to @forkyishere!!
Tune in this month as we finalize the lore for universe two, drop some clues and finally - reveal the win condition coordinates for the "End of the Universe!". And we have a tidy sum in the End of Season Reward pool as well! All PIZZA:pizzabits deposits are here, and they total hundreds of dollars depending on which day of the week you look at them!
Universe 1 - Continual
This is an incredibly long game. In our long-running original universe, we are coming up on one year, and still no one has managed to build even 1 jumpgate, much less a working pair:
(edit: in the time it took me to write this, someone finally built one!)
There are still a lot of "in-game" things to do and test, and players can start, stop and return at any time. There will be activities in universe 1 again after Universe 2 ends. As mentioned, this is actually meant to be a long game - did you know you could upgrade the recycler ship?
So get ready for an action packed February and beyond with MOON - there are prizes to be earned - far beyond mere points totals :)
