Not a gamer, but I was thrilled with you narrative of this game.
Hive has grown so big that it houses other components beyond the writing and earning layer. Impressive!
Will this be the next Splinterland? Time will surely let us in on the answer. Hehe

Based on @psyberx's discussion of Royal Reptile Studio plans, it will not be another Splinterlands game. Perhaps, some aspects may be present, but it's a separate world entirely.
Also, if this venture is successful, it won't be the only game either. They plan on expanding, but their specific plans in this area appear to be hush hush for now.
