A player will require a Kani to take part in the game. The Kani comes in the form of an NFT. Anyone can play the game by purchasing a Kani NFT and holding it in their Algorand wallet. Players will be required to have some ALGO in their Algorand wallet to opt-in to the NFT assets. In addition, players will need to opt-in to any new Kani they win before claiming their prizes. The current development plan consists of 3 stages, and gameplay will vary depending on the stage.
In the first stage, players will only be able to hold a Kani in their Algorand wallet. They can join the discord community, follow the KGE (Kani Generating Event), and hopefully win a new Kani. This stage has now been completed. The Kani Generating Event has been created, and attributes have been balanced. This code is not in a smart contract; the algorithm runs locally with the results being displayed in real-time on the discord server.
In the second stage, there will be the option to interact with a bot on Discord to accumulate “scum”. The players can then use the scum to purchase one-off boosts to specific attributes and possibly give the Kani an edge on the battlefield or advantage with the queen. The scum coins are offered through a discord bot and not issued on the blockchain (yet).
The third stage is a web app that connects to a wallet and allows players to choose which area they would like to battle. It will have scum token integrations that players can farm passively or actively. This version of the game will also introduce scavenged items that will allow permanent boosts to attributes and a marketplace to trade the items.
The fourth stage is to have the game playable on mobile devices with three play styles, passive, PVE adventure, and PVP battles. This is my goal but will require either time, help, or funding to see it come to fruition.
This plan is current at the time of writing and subject to change in the future.
