In this conversation, I had a chance to sitdown and discuss the upcoming release of Destiny Rising, a mobile game set in a parallel Destiny universe with some of the TOP DR players from the Alpha and Beta tests. Together, we explore player experiences, key features, and the competitive aspects of the game, while also addressing misconceptions about gacha mechanics and the onboarding process for new players. This discussion highlights the importance of community engagement and the potential for Destiny Rising to attract a new audience to the franchise.I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I enjoyed hosting it!---Join my Discord! - https://discord.gg/saxplaysgames Follow my Twitch! - https://twitch.tv/saxplaysgamesFollow my TikTok! - https://tiktok.com/@saxplaysgamesFollow my Twitter! - https://x.com/saxplaysgames ---00:00 - Introduction02:11 - Player Experiences with Destiny 205:29 - World's First and Competitive Play10:43 - Key Features of Destiny Rising14:30 - Destiny Rising: A New Direction18:31 - Mobile Gaming and Community Engagement21:48 - Bridging Destiny 2 and Destiny Rising25:26 - Onboarding and New Player Experience27:41 - Understanding Gacha Mechanics32:19 - Character Unlocking and Gameplay Mechanics38:27 - Leveling Up Characters45:35 - Competitive Play and Leaderboards57:38 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks
