Vault Master Hackster Squad
Vault Master is a mini-event developed by
Hackster Squad for IterateX, aimed at acting as
a Token sink to help stabilize inflated in-game
wallets. In the game, players are tasked with
defending a vault filled with Tokens from
burglar raids over a set time period. The vault
is protected by a security guard who must remain
in an active state to fend off the burglars. To
keep the guard active, players collect Energy
Drinks through a slot-based mechanic. Each
Energy Drink allows the guard to defend against
one burglar raid, creating a dynamic challenge
that engages players while serving the overall
economic balance of the game.

Slot Modularization Alohomora
Team Alohomora for IterateX focused on
modularizing slot machine features to eliminate
dependency on store submissions, allowing new
slots to go live in production builds at
runtime. Their goal was to reuse existing games
and features to release new slot machines
without requiring store approvals. The team
modularized key slot features, making them
plug-and-play components. This includes: Lock &
Respin, Metagame with a Progression Bar,
FreeSpin,Additional features By enabling quick
integration of these features, Alohomora reduced
development and QA effort, allowing for faster
releases of new slots. The team successfully
launched two new slots by mixing features from
different machines:
Achievements:
- Slot 1: Added progression-based metagame to an existing slot for a relaunch (Bursting Brew with Meta Game).
- Slot 2: Introduced a new bonus game to an existing slot for re-launch or re-skin (Poseidon 2).
