Highrise Creature Club

Creatures + LAND get a voice.

A friendly guide to what HCC is, how Creatures and LAND came together, and the new Player Council that puts holders in the room where creative decisions get made.

Start here

So… what is the Creature Club?

The Highrise Creature Club is built from two collectible NFT concepts: 11,111 one-of-a-kind creature avatars and the Highrise LAND NFTs that were brought into the same club. Hold either one and you're a member, with perks woven right into Highrise.

The other half of the family

πŸ—ΊοΈ Highrise LAND NFTs

LAND NFTs are the club's collection of virtual parcels in the Highrise universe, in Standard and Premium tiers β€” and most LAND owners also have an adorable slime pet to go with their plot. LAND's original standalone plan changed, so the project was folded into the Creature Club family: owning LAND now makes you a member too.

Slime pets

Your pet stays yours β€” a collectible creature companion all its own.

🏠

Room boosts

Link a plot to a room to raise its capacity β€” 75 for Standard, 120 for Premium.

πŸ’Ž

Premium = 3Γ—

Premium LAND earns triple the Creature Coins of Standard, like Legendary creatures do.

The journey

How HCC got here

No spin β€” just the honest arc of where the club has been and where it's headed.

2021 β€” THE MINT

11,111 creatures are born

HCC launches as Highrise's first collectible avatar project: programmatically generated creatures, each with a wearable set of items and a promise of perks for holders.

2022 β€” LAND ARRIVES

A second collectible: Highrise LAND

LAND launches as virtual parcels of the Highrise universe, in Standard and Premium tiers β€” with daily Land Tokens, room capacity boosts, an exclusive shop, and slime pets. The original dream: custom, monetizable corners of Highrise you could run yourself.

2022–2024 β€” THE WOBBLE

Big ideas, uneven follow-through

Lots of ambition across both projects, but consistency, communication and follow-through didn't meet the standard holders deserved. We heard the frustration loud and clear.

2023 β€” LAND JOINS THE CLUB

One family, not two

The original "custom monetizable Highrise" plan for LAND was wound down, and LAND owners were brought into Creature Club benefits. Land Tokens converted to Creature Coins, pets stayed with their owners, Premium LAND mirrored higher-tier Creature benefits at 3Γ—, and a compensation path covered owners who did not want the new direction.

2024 β€” THE MERGE SHIPS

LAND benefits become real HCC benefits

Regular updates confirmed the practical merge: Discord access opened to LAND owners, Highrise+ eligibility and Creature Coins applied to eligible players, exclusive LAND and Creature giveaways continued, and Gen 2 / shop work moved forward under one HCC update rhythm.

2025 β€” THE BLOCKCHAIN RESET

An honest reset

Creature Club publicly moved away from building around blockchain constraints while preserving tradeable value and official asset support. The message was simple: keep ownership safe, reduce platform friction, and make the club easier for Highrise to support.

DEC 2025 β€” THE DELIVERY RESET

Back to visible follow-through

A dedicated artist put permanently on finishing Gen 1 & Gen 2. Bi-weekly updates. Monthly shop refreshes. Quarterly drops. A clear commitment to communication, delivery, and rebuilding trust one update at a time.

NOW β€” THE COUNCIL

Holders get a real voice

The next step: a holder-led Player Council that helps shape what gets made β€” across Creatures and LAND alike. This page is all about that. πŸ‘‡

β€’ β€’ β€’
Straight talk

Why we're doing this

Trust doesn't come back from promises β€” it comes from consistent delivery and from actually listening. The Council exists so HCC holders aren't just told what's coming next, but help decide it. It's a sounding board with real teeth on creative direction, run alongside the team that builds.

Where we're headed

One club: Creatures + LAND, together

For a long time, Creatures and LAND lived as two separate NFT projects with two separate stories. The goal now is to unify them into a single Creature Club concept β€” one community, one set of benefits, one roadmap, and one holder voice.

πŸͺ™

One currency

Land Tokens became Creature Coins, so everyone earns and spends the same way.

🎟️

One membership

Hold a Creature NFT or LAND NFT and you're a full member with the same core perks.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

One roadmap

Drops, Gen 2 and shop updates serve the whole club, not two parallel tracks.

πŸ—³οΈ

One voice

The Player Council represents Creature and LAND holders alike.

Your assets don't change β€” your creature, your LAND plot, and your slime pet stay exactly as they are. Unifying is about the experience around them: one family that's easier to grow, support and build for.

The big idea

Meet the Player Council

A small, holder-led group that works with a dedicated PM and the art team to finish Gen 2 and run the steady drops. It's advisory with teeth β€” a real say on creative, not a vote on the business.

Who decides what

Where the Council has real power

Some calls the Council makes. Some it advises on. A few it's simply kept in the loop on β€” and that scope grows as it proves out.

Pocket Worlds stays the executor and keeps final say on anything touching the economy, brand or legal guardrails β€” so the things that protect the whole club stay protected.

How a seat works

Fair, simple, and yours

🎟️

Hold to vote

Own at least 1 HCC asset, Creature or LAND, to vote; 5 combined HCC assets to run for a seat.

πŸ”’

Seats can't be sold

A Council seat is tied to you β€” never bought or traded, same spirit as the club itself.

πŸ—³οΈ

You nominate, you vote

A self-nomination window opens, then holders vote. Clean and open.

πŸ”„

Fresh blood

Six-month terms, max two in a row for elected seats. No entrenchment.

The rhythm

How decisions move

The PM owns the roadmap and brings the Council clear, scoped questions β€” each with a "done looks like this" attached. The Council weighs in on specific decisions, not endless open debate.

Cadence: a quick check-in every two weeks, plus a live call once a month. Where: a private holder channel to start, with token-gated holder-wide votes for the bigger questions down the line.

β€’ β€’ β€’
Quick answers

Questions you might have

Is this a DAO? Do I own part of the company now?

No. The Council is advisory β€” a powerful sounding board on creative and roadmap decisions. Pocket Worlds remains the executor and keeps final say on the business, the economy and the brand.

Will big holders just take over?

No. It's one holder, one vote β€” never weighted by how many Creature or LAND assets you own. And 4 of the 7 seats are elected directly by holders, with 3 appointed for continuity and competence. We're stating that split openly rather than pretending it's purely democratic.

What about Gen 1 and Gen 2?

A dedicated artist is on finishing them, and the Council helps decide which creatures and variants make each Gen 2 set β€” picking from the options the art team can actually build.

I own LAND, not a Creature β€” am I in the club?

Yes. LAND owners are full Creature Club members. Your Land Tokens became Creature Coins, you earn daily Coins (Premium plots at 3Γ—), and you take part in club drops and giveaways. Your plot and your slime pet stay exactly as they are.

Is my creature's ownership safe?

Yes. Plans to migrate creatures off the blockchain have been cancelled following Steam approval. If that ever needs to change, we'll tell you early and clearly β€” no surprises.

What does the Council actually start with?

It starts advisory-leaning, and its "Decides" power grows release by release as it proves out. Think training wheels that come off over time, not everything on day one.
