The Beginner’s Guide to Apeiron

Hello everyone! As we get closer to our game launch later this year, we can expect some fresh faces to join our community. As such, we thought it might be helpful to put out a beginner’s guide to Apeiron so new doods can hit the ground running.

This guide will cover:

1. Introduction to Apeiron
2. Planets
3. Stars
4. Getting Started in our Discord
5. Wrap Up

Let’s get into it!

(1) Introduction to Apeiron

Apeiron is the world’s first (and only!) God Game x eSports franchise. It’s actually not just a god game, but a unique fusion of game genres, taking inspiration from card battlers, roguelikes and massively multiplayer online games. Apeiron is presently in development, with the game scheduled for release in Q4 2022.

In Apeiron, you take on the role of a godling — a newborn “wandering god” — called up from the infinite beyond by the High Goddess Cosmos, who needs reinforcements in her war against the mad High God Chaos and his insidious Taint. As a godling, you will rule over your own Planet of Doods, who are these cute and chubby little yellow creatures who kind of look like chickens. They need your help! A lot of help (they’re kind of dumb, but in an adorable way).

As a godling, you’ll be able to take control of your world’s Avatar — a giant construct — and explore dungeons and unlock the mysteries of the godiverse. You’ll get sweet skills and recruit heroic Dood Apostles to join you in your adventures. Then, when you level up enough, you can head on over to the Hourglass Coliseum and face other godlings in ritual combat! Fun times.

To play Apeiron, you’ll need a Planet NFT, which is where the primary gameplay loop takes place. So let’s take a closer look at Planets and how they work…

(2) Planets

Planet NFTs are your gateway to playing the game. The god game simulation and dungeon delving happen largely on your Planet. You need a Planet to start playing: you can either buy one for yourself on our Marketplace or you can rent one through a scholarship so you can start playing for free — in this case a portion of the tokens you earn will go to whoever owns the Planet.

Planets come with different elemental distributions that determine the type of Avatar you have. There are four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. If you’re looking to just try out everything the game has to offer, get a Normal Planet, which is a combination of all four elements. This will give you a very balanced gameplay experience.

On the other hand, if you want to play competitively or do some endgame content, you may want to look into getting a Planet with a higher elemental concentration — a tri-, duo-, or even mono-element Planet. Planets with higher levels of elemental concentration will have Avatars with access to more powerful Skills.

If you manage to pick up multiple Planets, you can even “breed” them! This is a ritual called Celestial Conjunction, and it takes the spiritual essence of two Planets to produce a third. With clever breeding, you can produce your own perfect world.

Another thing about your Planets is that they age — and, like a good wine or cheese, the older your Planet, the stronger they become. Specifically, older Planets will unlock more Relic slots — Relics are items and equipment that provide all sorts of powerful bonuses. The thing is, Planets age pretty slowly on a regular basis. And that’s where Stars come in.

(3) Stars

Star NFTs jumpstart your Planet’s aging, boosting it up so you can unlock your world’s Relic slots zippity-quick. Each Star comes with a number of Orbital Tracks, and you can park your Planets in any of these empty Tracks and get the aging boost from the Star. And if you have any empty Tracks that you aren’t using, you can either let your friends’ Planets hang out there, or you can rent them out to other players as a form of passive income. Neat!

Besides granting Orbital Tracks and boosting Planet aging, Stars also raise the limit on how many players you can invite to your Alliance, making them the foundations for Alliance building. Then, each Star is part of a Constellation that — if completed — which is to say, when every Star in that Constellation is owned by your Alliance — you’ll get additional passive bonuses! Bonuses on top of buffs on top of powerups: Stars can help you take your Apeiron gameplay to the next level.

In terms of getting a Star, we’re actually in the middle of preparing for our Sacred Star Presale right now. If you want to know more about that, we put out some articles about it, or you can just head to our Discord server and ask around. Speaking of which…

(4) Getting Started on our Discord

Our Discord server has a lot going on, and is a great place to meet cool new people, talk about Apeiron, and get ready for the game launch through participating in the events we have. There’s a lot going on, but how do you get started and how can you get the most out of it? We’ve got some tips and tricks to share!

First, you want to chat until chat level 3. You can either hang out in the General channel, which is primarily in English, or head to one of our many language channels to chat in another language you might speak.

Once you hit level 3, you can head over to the #active-events channel to see if there’s anything you’re interested in joining. Pretty much all of our events have some sweet rewards going for them — even Planets! — and are a blast to play with community friends, so get involved!

Then, when you hit chat level 5, you can start on your alignment journey by doing #doodiquests. These are twice daily missions that give you unique moral situations and choices between good and evil. By reaching higher levels of good or evil, you’ll unlock exclusive channels with specially curated events with even juicier rewards! Additionally, just by doing Doodiquests, you’ll also start getting Souls, which you can exchange at our Discord’s Soul Shops for all sorts of Apeiron goodies.

On a basic level, that’s it! Do your daily Doodiquests and join some events and you’ll set yourself up well for playing Apeiron when the game launches. Then, if you really feel passionately about Apeiron, you can get more involved by becoming a DADI — these are our community leaders who we work closely with, and who help us to spread the word about Apeiron. DADIs will even earn a special currency called “Sugar” which can be exchanged for either NFTs or even just flat USDC on a monthly basis.

(5) Wrap-up

There’s a lot of information here, so let’s try and condense it into the bare necessities:

• To play Apeiron, just get one Planet
• To play early and enjoy supporter benefits, get a Primeval Planet (one of the first Planet NFTs ever made — can get on Marketplace)
• To invest in Apeiron, buy multiple Planets and start breeding to create your own Planet farm. Sell and rent Planets to new Players and start earning.
• If you want to invest but don’t have time to breed or play, buy a Star and earn passively through renting out Tracks.
• If you love Apeiron but aren’t sure about investing, join our Discord and participate in events for chances to win Planets directly.
• For those fans who are super passionate, become a DADI and help us spread the word — you’ll earn a special currency which you can translate into NFTs or even USDC on a monthly basis.
• And for those who are crazy about Apeiron and can’t get enough, do either all of the above or some combination of it! Create your own empire and be an entrepreneur as an Apeiron partner.

And that concludes our Beginner’s Guide to Apeiron! We hope that this gives new Doods some idea of what to expect from Apeiron and how to go about planning your own adventure. One thing that we’re trying to do with the way we’ve set things up is cater to all sorts of levels of engagement, so no matter if you are a super fan or even just have a casual interest, there’s a path for you to join with us as we continue to grow.

If you have any questions, head on over to our Discord now! We’re also on Twitter and Telegram, so hit us up there too, if you prefer.

And as always, thanks for reading, godlings. We’ll see you next time~
