Overview
Welcome to Doomsday, a game that blends the thrill of survival strategy with the innovative use of blockchain technology and NFTs. Set in a world recovering from catastrophic events, players are tasked with building, managing, and defending settlements in a harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape. This immersive game challenges players to think strategically, make critical decisions, and collaborate for survival in a dynamic and evolving world.
Gameplay
Doomsday presents a unique blend of strategy, survival, and blockchain technology, set in a post-apocalyptic world. The game's mechanics are deeply rooted in strategic decision-making, resource management, and interactive gameplay, making it a captivating experience for players.
Bunkers
- Real-World Locations: Each bunker in the game is located in a real-world city, adding a layer of realism. The bunkers are represented by unique generative artworks based on the city's population, creating a diverse and visually appealing world.
- On-Chain Positioning: Bunkers are generated using a comprehensive dataset of global cities and are mapped to their GPS locations, stored on-chain for transparency and integrity.
- Acquisition: Initially available through public minting, bunkers can now be acquired via secondary markets like OpenSea.
Apocalyptic Impacts
- Interactive Confirmation: Players can confirm impacts on vulnerable bunkers (within the blast radius). A "Confirm Hit" button facilitates this interaction, and confirmers are rewarded with a portion of the mint cost.
- Randomized Disasters: The game simulates catastrophic events with impacts occurring every 120 blocks (approximately 30-40 minutes). These impacts are determined on-chain using rolling, retroactive block hashes as a source of randomness.
- Impact Consequences: Bunkers with pending hit confirmations are locked from being sold, evacuated, or reinforced, adding a strategic layer to gameplay.
Survival and Strategy
Players can reinforce their bunkers to withstand additional hits, with the cost doubling each time. This feature allows for strategic depth and decision-making in the face of impending disasters. Players have the option to evacuate their bunker, destroying it but receiving a portion of the prize pool. This decision-making process adds a risk-reward element to the game.
If a player's bunker is destroyed, the associated NFT is burnt. However, players can mint a copy of their bunker as a souvenir post-game, emphasizing the permanence and consequences of in-game actions.
Economic Model and ETH Distribution
The final surviving bunker wins an ETH jackpot, accumulated from mint fees and reinforcement fees, creating a high-stakes environment. As more bunkers are destroyed, the value of the remaining bunkers increases, as they are backed by a fraction of the prize pool.
