First, as always, thank you for hanging with us π·π
We took 2024 to develop away from the market. Blockchain gaming is still burgeoning, perhaps more than ever, but we see trends come, go, and resurge again. So, itβs important to us that Tontachi operates from a core.
Our core game loops have improved, with more offerings that integrate GameFi and on-chain rewards.
Letβs break down the latest on what weβre shipping and what we would like feedback on..
Interoperability and Network Effects
tontachiAR is like Mario Kart for a few reasons. One obvious reason is that itβs a branded racing game. The other is that Tontachi is meant to be a collaborative IP-interoperable project. We want more βfriendsβ to be represented in the game (βTontachiβ stands for βpigsβ or βpig friendsβ in Japanese). We want to boost utility and community. So, PFP Collections can now be made compatible. Our first two officially supported collections are Torque Squad (Ethereum) of the Motorverse, and AP3 of ApeChain.
If you have a PFP from one of these collections, you can import your wallet and select it as your Driver. Using one will allow you to start collecting Street Cred and Likes for chain-based rewards!
Street Cred - Awarded for doing Races in Augmented Reality (AR). Bonus Street Cred is given for doing Races outside at real locations, so Go Touch Grass!
Likes - Are given for taking βPigturesβ, pictures of Tons taken in the Wild.
Leaderboards
Become top-ranking in Likes and StreetCreds and be rewarded in $REVV and/or $APE tokens!
Weβre excited to work with these communities (and more to come!) to roll out the next version of Tontachi and validate our value proposition of amplifying network effects. AR, Geolocation, and Blockchain are all working to make games and communities more tangible in the real world!
