This week\u2019s guest on the <\/span>Cardano NFT Column <\/b>is a<\/span> project building a Sci-Fi Roguelike MMO game with the story being driven by the community<\/b>: <\/span>Rogue Galaxies<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The previous guest<\/span><\/a> was a project<\/span> banking on web3 creators to lead the digital renaissance and inspire the art of tomorrow.<\/b><\/p>\n

This initiative is a point of reference for <\/span>NFTs on Cardano <\/b>and every week or two we will invite someone to answer some questions and give us <\/span>an update directly from within the Cardano community<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering that many of our readers are new to the crypto space<\/span>, <\/b>we will have a <\/span>mix of simple and technical questions<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey, glad to have you here. Please introduce your team, where are you from, what are your backgrounds?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yves<\/b><\/a> \u2013 Game Director, founder of SmokeStab & Co-CEO <\/b>NMKR<\/b><\/a> Games<\/b>. With almost two decades of combined experience in the <\/span>video game development <\/b>scene alongside Robin, <\/span>Yves Masullo is a powerhouse in the indie game scene<\/b>. Building SmokeStab from the ground up with his brother-in-arms, Yves has seen his experience bear fruit <\/span>both in the web2 and web3 world<\/b>. His first major release in web3 was \u201c<\/span>ADA Ninjaz<\/b><\/a>: Shards of Ninava<\/b>\u201d, a Cardano based web3 game. But that\u2019s his past. His future? To<\/span> create engaging experiences that capture the player\u2019s imagination & connect people around the world<\/b><\/p>\n

Robin<\/b><\/a> \u2013 Programming Lead, founder of SmokeStab & Co-CEO NMKR Games<\/b>. Alongside Yves, Robin is ready to take the web3 gaming world by storm. <\/span>Fronting the game design and leading the programming of Rogue Galaxies<\/b>, Robin is bringing his experience in creating living universes where players can live their own stories into the new world of blockchain tech. Co-founder of SmokeStab, Robin has led the charge alongside Yves in the development of successful web2 games and is<\/span> ready to evolve the web3 space for all future games to come.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ignacio<\/b><\/a> \u2013 <\/span>Narrative Design & Storytelling, background in film, music, theatre, CCO Danketsu <\/b>(formerly ADA Ninjaz). Also known as \u201cthe storyteller\u201d, Ignacio\u2019s experience comes from his <\/span>multimedia background<\/b>. Film, music, theater, manga and video games have been his professional playing grounds since his teenage years. <\/span>His breakthrough into the Web3\/NFT scene was as Chief Creative Officer and storyteller for ADA Ninjaz<\/b>. His goals span from finding new forms of <\/span>decentralised storytelling in web3 entertainment <\/b>and the crypto world to creation and teaching of all forms and structures of narrative and non-narrative storytelling through various art forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Rogue Galaxies and why have you chosen the Cardano blockchain for your project?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rogue Galaxies is a Sci-Fi Roguelike MMO<\/b>, where you\u2019ll travel through the vastness of space, unravelling the mysteries of the physical anomalies called <\/span>\u201cOverlaps\u201d<\/b> and fighting to find the source of unlimited power that lies behind these enigmas \u2013 <\/span>The Stygian Light<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The year is 7582 \u00c6 (After Earth). Humanity has evacuated our long lost Earth and spread throughout the galaxy, evolving in different ways<\/b>, according to the environments they\u2019ve found themselves in. The major governments control the <\/span>different sectors of the Milky Way; the Perseum, the Sukhashan and the Merum Lineage<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game\u2019s story will be driven by the community<\/b>, and the modular release we\u2019re planning also allows us to take every consideration of the community and evolve the game accordingly. <\/span>We\u2019re releasing a web gamification starting end of January 2023<\/b>, then the modules will come out as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Module 1: Space \u2013 Q3 2023<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to travel through space on story-driven missions, quests, and roguelike action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Module 2: Planets<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be able to land on planets and do your roguelike runs in concentric circles of difficulty with a timed \u201ccollapse\u201d or \u201coverlap\u201d. Final boss, and either success, or horrible failure are the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Module 3: Social<\/b><\/p>\n

This module will allow for more social interactions in the MMO part of the game plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

And more to come.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We chose Cardano<\/b> because that\u2019s the ecosystem we\u2019ve been working in since the beginning and this is an NMKR project.<\/span> It\u2019s the greenest, safest, most development friendly and low tx blockchain out there, with the best community around<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is there so much scepticism towards NFTs within the gaming community and how are you approaching this problem? What are some innovative use cases of NFTs in gaming?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately the NFT space is filled with flippers, scammers, Ponzi schemes, rug-pulls<\/b> and other negative aspects that fuel the scepticism towards NFTs. <\/span>FTX is just another massive example<\/b>. And bad actors in one chain affect all chains; the average person still sees all blockchain as just \u201cBitcoin\u201d, so<\/span> one chain\u2019s bad actors have repercussions on us all.<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re approaching the problem by <\/span>putting NFTs\/blockchain second and game first<\/b>. NFTs and blockchain technology has to <\/span>ENHANCE the experience overall, not be the central focus point.<\/b><\/p>\n

The ownership and potential evolution of NFTs<\/b>, plus the community access that these allow, as well as \u201cshareability\u201d of the experience and community created stories is something <\/span>incredibly innovative in gaming<\/b>. All the different play-to-\u2019s are really <\/span>great social experiments<\/b> in many ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please tell us some information about your mints. What kind of NFTs are for sale? How did the 1st mint go and when are the next ones?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our first mint was on the 9th of Dec 2022, where we put 1000 of our first 3000 Genesis Spaceship NFTs up for sale<\/b>. We closed the sale at 750 as we had set a \u201cdeadline\u201d for the mint so as not to keep it lingering and to keep ships in our own wallet for giveaways and competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ships were priced at 350 ADA each<\/b>, but they included an airdrop of the Season Pass: Genesis too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next mint from the 3k Genesis collection will go up on sale on 15 February 2023. We will be dropping all 2000 remaining ships.<\/b><\/p>\n

In this sale we will also open up the Season Pass<\/b>: Genesis sale separately for people to be able to choose what they wish to have. This includes a discount at the same price as the Dec mint for those who wish for both a ship and season pass. <\/span>Through passive holding, one will be able to receive a few further NFTs for use in the game in the future.<\/b><\/p>\n

SHIP NFTs<\/b>; will be the playable and evolvable\/modifiable ships in the game<\/span><\/p>\n

SEASON PASS: GENESIS<\/b>; these allow for access to the early <\/span>website gamification<\/b> starting in Jan. Through their active levelling up, one will be able to <\/span>unlock further NFTs<\/b> for use in the game in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
