Planetarium Labs’ Nine Chronicles is launching a new cat-themed NFT series. It’s called D:CC, which stands for De:Centralized Cat, and will be officially launched on August 24.
Web3 idle MMORPG is pretty standard fare, at least on the surface. It’s a Norse mythology-themed world, and players can engage in combat and craft to gain experience. Also, the player characters are cat-based kemonomimes, which makes sense given the name of the game and the new NFT launch.
Honestly, it reminds me a bit of my days of spending far too much time playing AdventureQuest in the early 2010s.
Where it is different, however, is the technology the game is built on. It’s completely open source, and it actually has no servers. Everything the game needs to run is on the player’s computer. All the data needed to maintain the MMO aspect is just out there on the network. If a player decides to quit, it doesn’t change anything for anyone else.
The data is as close to persistent as possible.
Nine Chronicles players can now apply for a place in two pioneer programs. The first program is already running, offering 999 advance slots to existing Nine Chronicles players. The second program will go live on August 24, for a wider audience. Whoever wins a spot gets the same coin authority for a single PFP NFT from the D:CC collection.
“Reflecting the detail and care that we put into every aspect of Nine Chronicles, I wanted the NFT Collection to reflect that vibrant and dynamic world,” said Nine Chronicles’ Sangmi Seon, in a statement to GamesBeat. “Each PFP is unique and beautiful.”
There are many acronyms
PFP stands for “profile picture”. It’s a social media type of NFT – think Bored Ape profile pictures. However, the new D:CC version offers a whole bunch of in-game perks. Holders of D:CC PFP NFTs receive exclusive rewards, costumes, items and in-game currencies. D:CC members also get to vote in future collaborations.
Nine Chronicles has additional future NFT art collaborations planned with other crypto-based games such as The Sandbox, Sipher, and Delysium.
