CHAPTER 1: The Tri-Stellar Wars - Litepaper

This litepaper pertains primarily to the OctoronRift Genesis Experience - another litepaper for the Rift Walkers Experience (main collection) will be released at a later date.

The Mission

At its core, Octoron Rift is a digital collectible layered on top of storytelling experiences. These stories will initially be told by the founding team, Nick Gaul & Cajun Hylton. Over time though, Octorons will begin to map their own paths through the universe. The Genesis event is the first taste of this experience.

The Token

The Genesis Experience NFT is an ERC1155 collection of 888 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain and was a free mint. The art features the 3 planets. Vestroth, Detune & Inzara - all currently compromised by The Anomaly.

The Ever Expanding Experience

The Genesis Experience includes a play-to-earn mini game. A rescue mission to recover as much Mora as possible from the three compromised planets. Slow down the reach of the Anomaly by battling the Anomaly Hordes, and other players. Claim back this Mora with a roll of the die and some well-placed strategy. The in-game Mora will be redeemable for our utility token, MORA. This will happen at the end of the Genesis experience (when our main experience begins).

Game Modes

Single-player - vs an Anomaly Horde

The Anomaly starts with 1000 Mora and as a holder of our Genesis collection, you are able to battle against Anomaly Hordes to claim this back.

  • Battle against Ai.
  • Win a game & gain 1 Mora from the Horde.
  • Lose a game and lose 1 Mora to the Horde.

Multiplayer - vs other holders

While Octorons are beginning to learn to work together to take on a common enemy, there is still a rivalry amongst the different planets.

  • Battle against other players, from planets different to yours.
  • Win a game & gain 1 Mora from the other player.
  • Lose a game and lose 1 Mora to the other player.
  • Real time leaderboard shows both player stats, and how your planet as a whole is tracking.

Soft staking

One of the core purposes of the Genesis Experience is to get feedback on implementation details and strategies we intend to roll out as part of our main mint and experience. So, as part of this, we’ve built a soft-staking platform where results from games can be pushed on-chain for token based rewards. The core idea behind soft staking is that we can reward users for holding on to their NFTs, and interacting with our experience, without them ever needing to leave their wallet. Sell your NFT and your ‘stake’ automatically ends. No gas to stake / unstake.

The following two constraints have been top of mind when architecting the foundational blocks we’re building on top of:

  • GAS SUCKS - users should not need to pay gas to perform actions in our experiences except at the very least, to stake, unstake and claim.
  • SCALABILITY OF STORY - the game needs to adapt to episodes / chapters / events and continual additions without forcing users to migrate to a new contract. All the while balancing integrity and trust (i.e. what can we afford to push on-chain vs off-chain).

So while this Genesis Experience may be your first introduction into our universe, it’s also our minimal viable product for everything else to come. And such is the power of web3; we’re not only building for the community but with the community.

Starmap

This document is very much a living document, and will be updated as we improve and iterate based on our holders’ feedback. Our tech is like our stories; we have beginnings, middles and ends. We have chapters and paragraphs. We have intentionally designed the Genesis experience to receive regular updates leading up to our main mint. The following is our version of the Genesis roadmap; features we’d like to add in sequential order. This list may change at any notice based on feedback from the community, and we will provide notice accordingly on Discord.

BETA RELEASE

  • includes single player mode only and cannot yet obtain Mora, play for fun and to help us understand what does & does not work.
  • wallet connect - track stats against your token (alongside the soft-staking tech).
  • global leaderboard.
  • ability to rotate pieces.

FULL RELEASE

  • ability to actually accrue Mora.
  • multiplayer mode.
  • release date - TBA.
