VISION

As LAVA LABS, we believe that great games should preserve their essence by remaining skill-based and fun. Our vision is to create a WEB 3.0 platform that maintains these principles across multiple games. Our goal is to embrace the fundamental core values of player-centric ownership and pioneer this new space as developers, together with our talented community. We aim to create a sustainable long-term ecosystem by blending the fundamentals of WEB 3.0 with traditional gaming.

TIMELINE

The rollout of the features in this document will take place in different stages detailed in the Roadmap section. The development will be staged from simple mechanics to more complex ones.

AFAR: ​Mining Gameplay


GamePlay

A Mining Camp needs Land to function and mine resources. The player travels to The Planet, selecting Land where they wish to place their Mining Camp. A player's first decision is to choose a good location for their Mining Camp. To begin mining, players can place their mining buildings on their camps and start playing.

Resources can be harvested from the ground by the relevant buildings. These resources, once collected, accumulate in the appropriate Silo. Silos are a type of building used to store resources on your mining camp. Once full, Silos require upgrades, or new silos may be built.

Game Top Layer

Mining Gameplay

A player's Mining Camp may be relocated for a small fee if the player wishes to prospect on different Land. While players have a choice to relocate their Mining Camp on either AFAR Land or Resource Land, different types of properties that influence attacks and resource levels will be at play.

To defend against attacks, players will need to build and upgrade defenses. If an attack overwhelms the camp, a player will need to repair any damages to continue mining.

The Mining Game is made up of Seasons - each new Season will last a series of weeks.

EARNING XP

Players will need to upgrade and optimize their Mining Camp to increase the rate at which they can earn XP.

XP Logo

Ways to earn XP

  • Resource collection
  • Building complete + upgrade
  • Level up Camp Hall
  • Successful defenses of a camp
  • Selling resources at the Marketplace

Silo Progression

The Mining Game is the primary acquisition loop for Eggs. Eggs are the primary delivery mechanism of Cosmetic NFTs to the players.

Eggs can be acquired in multiple ways: one of the ways is from the mining Season Pass. The player will level up to gain rewards by gaining XP through actions and achievements in the Mining Game. As gameplay progresses, other ways to obtain Eggs will be revealed.

Land NFTS


Land NFTs will be revealed in the upcoming Land Pre-Sale. Each Land NFT is unique with distinct properties. Land NFTs will be revealed one-by-one during the Pre-Sale with the blurring removed thus revealing to the owner its visual properties.

Land

Concealed Resource Land

Resource Land

The Planet contains a finite amount of Land NFTs, that players use to participate in the AFAR: Mining Game. Gameplay is split between two primary activities: Land ownership and Mining Camp operation.

There are two types of land ownership: Resource Land, a tradable ERC-721 NFT owned by players, and AFAR Land owned by LAVA LABS. Resource Landowners decide which Mining Camp operators can mine their Land, benefiting from a share of the economic value extracted by the miners. Resource Landowners should promote their Land to Mining Camp operators to gain economic benefits from the mining activity.

Properties

Resource Land has certain properties that govern its visual look and economic utility in the Mining Game. Resource Lands’ economic properties influence available resources, and Mining Camp yields.

Base Properties

Base properties include elements such as coordinate positions. These are common across all Land. The lower these values are, the closer the Land is to the Social Hub.

Cosmetics Properties

Cosmetic properties of Land determine what a plot of Land looks like. Some properties may be rarer and sought after than others. While some combinations of properties may also be important and sought after due to rarity.

Economic Properties

Economic properties may be identified over time by players with Mining Camps on the Resource Land.

AFAR Land

AFAR Land behaves and functions like Resource Land but is operated by LAVA LABS. Allowing players to build Mining Camps and mine resources.

Land

AFAR Land

AFAR Land is operated by LAVA LABS, granting players the freedom of choice, and access if there is too much demand. Initially, some mining activity will take place on AFAR Land.

Mining Camp


Overview

A Mining Camp needs Land to function and mine resources. A player's first decision is to choose a good location for their Mining Camp. A Mining Camp is placed on Land of the players choosing. Players can then add buildings, choosing how to layout their mining operation.

Players will also need to upgrade their Camp HQ to unlock upgrades. Resources can be reinvested back into the Mining Camp to upgrade buildings to increase their stats.

Players will also need to build up their defensive structures to repel attacks on the Mining Camp and protect their resources from being stolen. Attacks will happen every so often, and the attackers will leave ruins of buildings and empty coffers behind if the player's turrets and walls aren't upgraded. After an attack, players will need to repair any damage to continue mining.

Player actions and achievements in the Mining Camp will net XP to help players level up on the Season Pass.

Resources

A Mining Camp

Mining Camp Buildings

  • Camp HQ - Controls the level of the camp - Upgrading will unlock further progression in other buildings and camp expansions.

  • Crystal Mining Equipment - Buildings where Crystal Resource is mined and needs collecting.

  • Silos - There are 2 types of Silos. One stores Crystal resources, the other stores Refined Ore and has a capacity that can be upgraded.

  • Ore Mining Equipment - Buildings where Ore resources are gained.

  • Trade Dock - This is where players can take their resources to the Marketplace to sell.

  • Cosmetics -Make your buildings look fancy and cool.

Defense

  • Walls - Will protect a player's base and is the first line of defense against attackers.

  • Turrets - These buildings fight back against attackers, deterring them from raiding any further into a player's camp.

Season Pass


Seasons in AFAR are fixed lengths of time with new content, gameplay and limited-time events. Each Season will come with its own Season Pass. At the beginning and end of Seasons, special events will be held.

Players can earn XP by participating in special events. As players unlock levels on each Season Pass, scarce NFT items and rewards can be claimed. Players will need to claim as many rewards as possible before the Season ends.

EGGS


Overview

In AFAR, Eggs are a container for rewards and can be obtained via the Season Pass. An Egg may contain any number of items inside.

Eggs come in Large and Small varieties.

Large Eggs are always unique NFTs and can be traded.

Large Eggs' rairities will be determined by a mixture of base and cosmetic properties. Early GENESIS Eggs, will likely be sought after in the future if kept in their unopened state. As NFTs Large Eggs can be left unopened indefinitely.

A Large NFT Egg in Incubation

EDITIONS

Large Eggs have limited Editions and a certain number of Eggs will be part of a 1/1 custom set.

How to open Eggs

If a player wants to access the rewards within an Egg, they need to open it.

Players can open their Small Eggs instantly.

To open a Large Egg, players will need to use an incubator. Players can wait for the Egg to open once incubated or use $TOKEN to speed up the process. A limited number of incubators per player can be active at once.

Opening a Large Egg will burn the NFT from the user's blockchain whilst minting the contents.

Egg Opening Process

Contents of Eggs

An Egg may contain a combination of any of the following items:

How to obtain

Marketplace


Overview

The Marketplace is where players can buy and sell resources and NFTs.

The Marketplace itself is a massive NFT, that may be rented and operated by strategic partners for certain periods of time. In the future smaller trading posts may also be introduced and operated.

Land

The Marketplace

Marketplace

At the Marketplace players can buy and sell:

  • Items
  • Skins
  • Eggs
  • Camp Cosmetics
  • Spaceships
  • Resources

The functionality of the Marketplace will be expanded as more parts of the AFAR ecosystem become active.

Trading Posts

Trading Posts are smaller Marketplaces, that may be operated by 3rd parties with branding opportunities.

Because Trading Posts are smaller than the Marketplace , they must rely on Spaceship operators to keep stocks and variety plentiful.

©2022 LAVA LABS All rights reserved

Cosmetic NFTs


Cosmetics are central to the AFAR universe and are used to decorate your heroes. Additional cosmetics will be made available as the ecosystem develops, such as the interior of their spaceships and other exciting display items such as crystals and pets. PVP-only players will need to trade with other players to gain access to rare cosmetics, forming a symbiotic trading economy.
