Intro

Fellow Earthlings,
We are facing a grave threat. The Annihilators, a ruthless robotic race, have set their sights on our planet and our colonies. They have sent us a message, full of threats, and it is clear that they will not back down.

But we are not alone in this fight. We have recently formed an alliance with the Dogelon, a technologically advanced species who have been at war with the Annihilators for decades. The Dogelon have offered us their support and their technology, and together, we will face this threat head on.

This alliance is not just about protecting our world. It is also about creating new opportunities for humanity. With the help of the Dogelon technology, we will be able to accelerate our progress in the Solar System and beyond. This will mean millions of new jobs for Earth and our colonies, as we work together to integrate the Dogelon technology into our systems.

We must stand together in this fight. The Annihilators are a formidable enemy, but with the support of our Dogelon allies, we are stronger than ever. Let us face this threat with courage and determination, and let us emerge victorious.

Long live the United Earth Coalition, and long live our alliance with the Dogelon.

Build. Fly. Collect. Protect.

"Build" refers to the ability for players to get and customize their own spaceships within the game. This might involve choosing different parts or features to add to the ship in order to give it unique capabilities.

"Fly" refers to players piloting their spaceships and navigating through different environments within the game. This might involve completing missions and jobs to gain both currency and experience.

"Collect" refers to the ability for players to acquire and own their unique spaceships as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These NFTs can be collected, traded, and owned just like physical collectibles.

"Protect" refers to players using their spaceships to defend human and Dogelon homeworlds. This might involve completing missions against the Annihilator threat and getting involved in battles to protect the Alliance from otherworldly threats.

Planned expansions

Derelicts. Buy cheap salvage rights for ELON tokens and claim an old damaged spaceship which would normally cost millions or billion of ELON to mint. Then spend in-game credits and resources to fix it up and add it to your collection.
Discover ship upgrades. While flying around the galaxy, you can stumble upon technology and mysterious artifacts that can be used to upgrade your ship.
Galaxy to explore. Start in the human homeworld in the well-known solar system and help scientists discover the technology required for FTL drive, which will open up other systems and sectors of the galaxy to be explored.
Mine chemical elements. Resources that can now be randomly collected during travels will be possible to mine in larger quantities.
Event-driven economy. Player minting a ship creates delivery minigame for other players. Delivered cargo creates package unloading minigame. Delivered research specimen creates logic type puzzle minigame. All minigames/jobs allow players to earn in-game credits to be spent on customizing their spaceships.
Space and surface stations. Visit various stations in the universe and help build new ones.
Trading. Proper economy to be introduced with variable resource prices based on demand.
Multiplayer missions. Embark on missions together with your friends.
Lots more job types. Based on the economy milestone, various cargo types will trigger different jobs to be posted.
Avatar customizing. Player avatar which can be directly controlled and used to explore the various areas.
Chat connected to discord. Currently one-way bridge will be expanded to two-way, so that players can talk to discord users who are currently not in the game and vice versa.

FAQ

Mint, mint, MINT! Where? >

The shipyard page for ordering new ships is on https://ships.dogelon.space

Are you the Dogelon token devs? >

No. We're just independent devs who like the token. More about us on https://dogelon.dev

What's the story? >

Game lore will be published on https://lore.dogelon.space

Why can this only be minted for Dogelon? >

It's a pet project, not a commercial money making machine. We're not trying to reach everyone in crypto, which is why we will not enable ETH mint. The idea for this was created during the Elongevity Hackathon 2022, when we were thinking about creating a fun new utility for the token.

How are you fighting against mint abuse? >

Every NFT project inevitably gets the attention of malicious actors who try to mint a bunch of tokens and immediately list them on marketplaces like Opensea to make profit. These people and bots don't care about the tokens, they just smell money. While we would be happy to see a healthy number of ships minted, to avoid a flood of identical ships on the market, every single ship starts with a boring trait "stock version", default gray color, unarmed and without a name. All of these ship properties can be edited in the game easily, with any change to the ship immediately resulting in losing the "stock" trait forever and being treated as custom and unique. On Opensea, for example, you will be able to select trait "unique" to see all the interesting ships belonging to players, while selecting "stock" would show you gray default ships minted for profit and those that players didn't customize yet.

Is this P2E (play-to-earn) ? >

Nope. Unless you consider minting NFT ships, playing the game, upgrading the ships within the game and then finally selling them to someone else for profit "earning"

Are these NFTs a good investment? >

No. They're not an investment at all. There is no guarantee or expectation that their value will increase over time. They are simply a way for players to show their support for the game and to own a unique digital item. So if you're looking to get your hands on an NFT of one of our spaceships, know that it's a fun collectible and a way to support the game, but not a financial investment.

Ha! I can just go and right-click to save all the ship images! >

You can, yes. But the players who actually own them can change their colors immediately and the NFT will get a new image within seconds, making your copy outdated and invalid. Not to mention the possibility of allowing players to change the shape, interior or equipment later on...

I have seen better games in 1980s >

We're pretty sure there were no blockchain-integrated cross-platform desktop+mobile online multiplayer games with NFTs in the 80s. But we would love to see the mythical game you're talking about.

Why does this website look so bad? >

We're Delphi programmers, not web developers. It's a miracle we have managed to get this far, learning basics of Solidity, Javascript, HTML, CSS and bunch of other languages along the way. It might look slightly better in the future, but it's definitely not a priority. If you're a web dev and want to help, let us know.
