Waves Geese Roadmap – Solana Information As we speak

How is it going, duckies? It’s been some time since we shared our plans on the sport’s improvement. The time has come. As all the DIP-7.1 modifications are being developed, examined and applied, the crew continues to look forward and toss concepts round. The challenge is simply now taking its desired form, so there may be nonetheless plenty of work and modifications to be made.

Here’s a Roadmap that features all future modifications deliberate for 2023, which might be later offered as DIPs.

A brand new performance might be added that turns any pet right into a ‘duckanoid’ (duck + humanoid — intelligent, proper?). Duckanoids are the brand new full-fledged characters of the duck metaverse.

The way it will work:

1. For present pets, we’ll create their ‘duckanoid’ variants.
2. New pets might be created as two entities directly: as pets and as characters.
3. Every duckanoid can have its personal parameters: the ‘duckanoid’ tag, rarity, and its personal genes. It’s potential that they’ll have new in-game parameters, however that is up for dialogue at this level. Pets won’t have generations.
4. Turning a pet right into a duckanoid could be just like the unique hatching, when the worth of creation goes up relying on demand.
5. All duckanoids are initially sterile, and positively not able to laying eggs..
6. Their new genes can have their very own playing cards in Duck Wars.
7. As for using duckanoids in Duck Hunt and different actions on the platform, all the pieces can be on the stage of dialogue.

This fashion, pets will not be simply decorations, however will change into full-fledged unbiased characters and change into rather more priceless, particularly these pets that are available restricted provide.

It is a new function that lets you create hybrids out of any characters within the sport. Hybridization is similar to breeding, however there are specific variations:

• You possibly can create hybrids between geese and duckanoids, geese and geese, or duckanoids and duckanoids.
• Hybrid duck will inherit technology of the very best technology father or mother.
• Hybridization will not be affected by whether or not the character is sterile or not.
• Neither geese nor duckanoids would have a restrict on the variety of potential hybrids.
• Within the course of, there’s an opportunity to get each nothing and one thing uncommon.

Hybrids will assist you to mix geese with new characters and create distinctive mutants by no means earlier than seen within the duck metaverse.

Farming continues to be one of many fundamental causes of EGG inflation. With the final DIP, the quantity of EGG going to farming rewards was minimize to 80, however that’s not sufficient to reboot the financial system. Our crew is nicely conscious that farming is a delicate matter for the neighborhood relating to modifications. However, there’s a easy reality — the worth of EGG won’t get larger so long as it’s freely distributed in giant portions.

As has been mentioned earlier than, farming as it’s now spells a everlasting uncontrollable inflation. And that is slowly however certainly ruining the challenge.

For that reason, each 3 months there might be a farming halving — the division of the each day EGG reward pool by 2.

Our fundamental level is to make the duck work for itself, and farming provokes stagnation of the challenge, which might very simply result in its shutdown.

As well as, we deserted the concept of introducing duck illness. The funding revenue ratio of this concept turned out too low for the implementation.

Transforming DW is one thing that has been haunting the challenge for a yr now. Our previous makes an attempt turned out to be too bold, which led to the sport’s conservation. Now the sport is managed by a single developer, and principally on a regular basis is taken up by fixing bugs. However Duck Wars nonetheless has its potential.

We need to carry gamers’ consideration again to DW and are aware of the cash invested in mantles and geese, however we are able to’t return to the earlier mannequin of handing out EGG per lap. Any everlasting EGG payout now will solely make the challenge worse.

So we need to make the financial system of Duck Wars circulating inside itself. Step one might be a poker-like system with a financial institution. That’s, gamers make an EGG wager earlier than the battle, and the winner takes the financial institution. There might be completely different classes the place the wager can go as much as substantial quantities.

Duck Hunt would be the first on the trail of the Duck Universe to cross-chain. We’d like extra gamers, so the sport must be extra accessible. The primary might be gamers from the Polygon community. They’ll have the ability to join their accounts to the sport and obtain SPICE payouts to their wallets. We might be in command of the gateway.

We gave up promoting EGG to pay for our wants. However the bills of the challenge nonetheless exceed the earnings. With a purpose to be a sustainable challenge, we have to change our income system. Step one might be modifications on {the marketplace}::

• The calculations of {the marketplace} will happen solely in WAVES
• We are going to not burn the acquisition fee
• 40% of fee will go to EGG buyback
• The remaining 60% might be used to cowl the wants of the challenge

That is mandatory for the survival of the challenge, its profitability and the attractiveness to buyers.

These are the principle instructions wherein we’re going to develop the challenge within the foreseeable future. It is a troublesome time for the trade as an entire, together with ourselves. However in the end the market will get better, and other people will change into extra energetic once more.

Our activity is to organize the challenge as a lot as potential for that second. And this roadmap displays our imaginative and prescient.
