Lost Alienoid AMA with CRE8R DAO
Primer: Lost Alienoid is an up-and-coming blockchain game with P2E aspects that will be launched on the Polygon blockchain. Inspired by the game Saboteur, the Lost Alienoid combines the utility of NFT as an in-game avatar, with the narrative of a wandering alien traversing different planets searching for his lost family and friends. Find out more about the game in this AMA with CRE8R DAO here.
Team
Background of the members
International team (some based in Ukraine and some in Europe)
Friends and colleagues with each other for more than a decade
Each has a background in either IT, blockchain, gaming, illustration and animation
Team members are fully doxxed
Nothing to hide and fully confident in their product
Believe that this will build trust with the community and investors
Why start the project?
The idea was born in the summer of 2021
The team had invested in various crypto projects so they wanted to create their own version of the metaverse
Started discussing it with each other and eventually turned the idea into reality
What’s the #1 worry about the project?
Worries about the sustainability of the project. They did not want the project to be another pump & dump
To prevent this from happening:
Played with various game models, and took great efforts to balance the economy with an inflation/deflation mechanism
Made sure that the project is loved by the community
The team had the confidence and experience gained from other past projects to navigate all these challenges
If they can go back in time, they would have considered attracting investors earlier so that they had a lot more resources to develop faster
Polygon Network
Why launch on the Polygon chain?
Believes in it
Polygon is actively developing the blockchain and has a minimal environmental impact
Plans for congestion in the network
In Jan 2022, during the Sunflower season, the network got congested and becomes hardly usable
In the event this happened again, they will:
Update users of the congestions
Explain to them the steps needed to save their funds
Also, the team had plans to make the game multichain, so players can use other chains to play if one is congested
Paranoid / Lost Alienoid NFT
What’s the game about?
A card game with multiple strategies to win and get rewards
Inspired by the game Saboteur
Two opposing teams in the game, the Paranoids and the Alienoids
The general arc of the narrative is that monsters destroyed the planet of the unprepared Alienoids, wiping out more than 90% of their population. Thus began the journey of a determined but lonely Alienoid, travelling from planet to planet, to find his friends and family and a new home.
Does not require any investments into NFT assets to start playing and earning
There is also a scholarship system for players to rent their assets
There will be tournaments with a huge game rewards pool and possibly 1 to 1 battle
Giving power back to the people by involving them during the development of the project, which is what the Lost Alienoid project symbolises
The game is browser-based at launch
Have plans for a mobile version of the game
Currently, all that is needed is some basic knowledge of crypto, a crypto wallet, a PC and an internet connection
NFTs
There are different rarity traits in the NFT and each Alienoid is generated with the compatibility of the traits as well
E.g. there will not be one wearing a spacesuit and with hair because the traits are incompatible
For the Genesis collection, the artwork is generated off-chain and then brought on-chain
The game has 2 modes:
Free2Play - Every user receives his Alienoid as an avatar in the game for free. Players can level up in the game to convert this avatar to a real NFT, and also earn tokens. However, the Alienoid cannot be sold on the marketplace since it is not (yet) an NFT
Play2Earn - Players can buy the Genesis NFT collection, which will entitle them to an Alienoid avatar in the game. This avatar will begin at a higher level than the free version, and the levels that they begin with will depend on the rarity of the Genesis NFT
NFT can have 4 types: Scout, Captain, Master and Legendary
Legendary will be the rarest with the highest level in the game avatar
NFT cannot be lost in the gaming process by dying in the game
When a player loses the game, it just means that he had spent the in-game energy without winning rewards
They are considering options like burning NFTs in the game economy but these are yet to be confirmed
Sales of the Genesis collection
There will be a whitelist
Those in the whitelist will have the first opportunity to buy the NFT at a lower price than the rest, similar to the Token presale
There are different ways to get into the whitelist (to be announced)
Events such as taking part in giveaways on Twitter/Discord/Instagram/TikTok, referring to friends, doing art/meme
Sales will be on a “first-come, first-serve” basis
To deter bots, each wallet will be limited to 1 purchase of the NFT
After buying the Genesis NFT, a user will receive an Alienoid avatar for free
A minting potion (NFT) can be found in a mystery box
The user can mint his Alienoid avatar with this potion to receive a loot box
Inside the loot box will be a new avatar
Security
Smart contracts security
Going to pass a CertiK audit before the launch
There will also be bug bounties planned, with more details to be announced closer to the alpha launch
They are fully transparent and doxxed, with multisig wallet signatories for all transactions
IPFS
Genesis collection is already in IPFS on a decentralised server
All other collections will be stored in IPFS as well
Tokenomics
Going to have a dual-token economy, with the P2E token for utility and the other token for governance
There are rewards for staking
Staking a Genesis NFT will be entitled an airdrop of a new NFT - land in the metaverse
Planning to allocate tokens through different rounds with small changes (around 15%) in price from one level to the next
Going to start fundraising for the project very soon
Seed round will have 8 month vesting period
Private round will have 5% unlock at TGE with a 12 month vesting period
More details will be announced when available
The final tokenomics are not out yet as the team is still working on the different models of economy to make it sustainable
Roadmap
Plans for the coming 6 months to 1 year
DEX and CEX listing of token, P2E alpha launch and tournaments
NFT presale and public sale
Token and NFT staking
Wheel of Fortune feature
Besides the main PVP gameplay, there is a lottery for players to receive big prizes
Entry to the lottery requires a ticket
On track with their roadmap?
Rescheduled their launch a little due to the bearish market conditions
Launch conditions are not ideal, so glad to have it delayed
