I am Geek.

I’ve been in the Ethereum world for many years now, as a developer. In 2019 I started to really explore DeFi and got interested in how it was evolving. Later in 2020, I began to explore NFT developments, which then led to LOOT and Rarity. What I found interesting now is that NFTs have entered into the “functional” stage, they are much more than verified JPEGs, and there is still much more potential to come.

And I wanted to be part of that evolution, so I started building and developing on that.

What is DarkPlanet?

DarkPlanet is a strategy game based on Andre Cronje’s Rarity contract. It is an independent third-party game with the main line of universe exploration. The game is inspired by the sci-fi novel series called ‘The Three Body Problem’, which was written by a Chinese writer, Liu Cixin. So, Sci-fi is the style of the game.

Each player will have a summoner, whose purpose is to collect energy in order to survive. and in the process, there is a risk of exposure. Combining with the law of the dark forest, the exposed summoners will have a battle, the higher the energy, the greater probability of winning. The resources of the losers will be plundered.

RarityLand is the base layer of DarkPlanet. Summoners will collect energy on other people’s land. The cumulative acceleration of energy will decrease with time on the same land. Summoners need to change another land to collect more energy. Some of the energy collected by the summoner on the land will flow to the land holder.

We are building a treasure market based on RarityLand. The NFT produced by DarkPlanet will automatically enter the treasure market. Summoners can also place their own treasures on their own land, which will bring them income in $FTM.

We are designing planets,the total number of planets is 1,000. Summoners can enter the planet to explore the space when their energy increase to a certain extent.Multiple summoners on the same planet can form a team. Planets can fly to explore space, But the space navigation will consume energy. Summoners who collect energy in space are at risk of exposure to other summoners. Once their location exposed, there will be a battle and the losers’ resources will be plundered.

Weapons will be randomly generated in the battle. Some of them belong to the winner, the others will randomly fall on the RarityLand and enter the treasure market. Summoners on the land should move their position to search for weapons. The combat effectiveness of summoners who find weapons will be greatly increased. Spaceships and weapons are scarce NFT that can be traded on the treasure market.

Next development plan

These are three modules to be developed, involving land name module, treasure market module, and energy harvesting module.

The first module to release is Land Name Module

Land name module

1. The name is unique.

2. The summoner can enter the name and move to the land.

3. The summoner can set a description for his land. The description can be found by name.

4. The summoner can set a link for his land. It can be a Twitter homepage or something else to promote your land and let more people know about it.

5. It is erc721 and supports transactions.

After the three modules finished, I will release other functional module information.

There is a lot of work here, and we need more people to join us, include front-end engineers, UI designers and community volunteers. If you are interested, please contact me. E-mail: 0x.geekery@gmail.com.

Looking forward for your contact.
