STICKY: Earning Bytes

SITE CURRENCY
EARNING & SPENDING BYTES

BYTES are an in-game currency that can be exchanged to spawn wild Pokemon, upgrade your skill trees, and unlock new Pokemon party slots and moves. All player characters receive a universal basic income (UBI) of 100 BYTES per week just for existing on the site! This comes through in a single bulk payment once per week, provided you make at least 1 in-character post. Additional BYTES can be gained by posting on the forum with other players.

To spend BYTES, please post in Moderation Requests and a mod will update the relevant stats when available.

KICKSTARTER
SPEND BYTES TO CHANGE THE GAME FOR YOURSELF!

From time to time, UNOVR will run a site KICKSTARTER event to drum up new ideas, changes, and in-character lore! Using UNOVR Kickstarter, members may attempt to crowdfund in-character "changes" to the game of UNOVR using their BYTES (not real money.)

Based on the difficulty/reasonableness of your request, the mods will assign a BYTE GOAL to your pitch before announcing it to the site. For this reason, making a strong pitch is essential. Why should we introduce real-life ostriches to the site, and why should your fellow members sacrifice their BYTES to make your vision a reality?

UNOVR Kickstarter is currently closed while we finish implementing our backlog! Thank you for your understanding!

Past (successful) Kickstarters are listed below.
