In a groundbreaking move for the Web3 gaming community, Notcoin has reportedly partnered with Lost Dogs Co and Getgems to release an innovative, story-driven Web3 game. This collaboration signifies a major evolution in Web3 apps by merging engaging narratives with earning incentives.
Transition from Tap-to-Earn to Story-Driven Gameplay
Notcoin, renowned as the pioneer of the tap-to-earn Web3 game, allegedly captured the attention of over 35 million players earlier this year. Players incessantly tapped their screens to collect digital tokens, which were later converted into Notcoin (NOT) tokens and traded on major exchanges.
Despite the success, Notcoin recognized that the tap-to-earn model couldn’t sustain long-term growth and engagement, leading to the end of the mining phase on April 1, as reported by news sources. According to a reported announcement, Notcoin acknowledged that the tap-to-earn model of their web3 game could not maintain long-term engagement and growth.
The New Story-Driven Web3 Game
This strategic shift allegedly aims to reward the Notcoin community better and build a sustainable ecosystem, transitioning from a mere cryptocurrency to a powerful community movement. The new game, developed in collaboration with Lost Dogs Co and Getgems, emphasizes storytelling and emotional engagement, setting a new standard in the Web3 space.
Mad Tail, the Chief Barking Officer (CBO) of the Lost Dogs collection, stated that integrating Lost Dogs with Notcoin in the web3 game enhances the user experience. “Because everything in our lives is a form of narrative. Life itself is a narrative concept. Therefore, we aimed to establish this synchronicity in our game — as above, so below,” Mad Tail explained.
The Role of NFTs in Web3 Games
Even though NFTs suffered from some of their lowest monthly sales volumes in the last two months, many continue to believe in it as a technology. Video game pioneer Atari recently used NFTs as an access pass for its on-chain arcade, which allows players to compete on a global leaderboard and have their high scores recorded on the blockchain.
Mad Tail was also reported to argue that NFTs are a technology that exists whether people believe in them. When asked why they incorporated it in their game with Notcoin, the executive said it can enhance the user experience. “We see NFTs as a tool that can enrich the gaming experience by enhancing the sense of ownership within the game. This is why we’ve chosen to incorporate NFTs into our playground,” Mad Tail explained about the web3 game.
Notcoin’s Vision for the Future
Notcoin’s partnership with Lost Dogs Co and Getgems reflects a strategic shift towards creating a more sustainable and engaging gaming ecosystem.
Sasha Plotvinov, Founder of Open Builders and Notcoin, emphasized the unique nature of this collaboration, saying, “Lost Dogs is not an ordinary game, better to call it a gamified experience – every day, you will be asked to make a decision that will shape the story which is happening in this magical dogs world. The more good decisions you make, the better for your pack (and your drop). We are all Lost Dogs in a way. The team behind the game knows this better than anyone else, which is what makes this experience so special.”
The Future of Web3 Gaming
By focusing on storytelling and emotional engagement, Notcoin, Lost Dogs, and Getgems are supposedly proving that innovation can come from unconventional places, paving the way for future Web3 games.
Mad Tail concluded, “We’re just stray dogs who come up with many ideas during our walks. What are ideas without implementation? Empty barking. We went to the people at the TOP and they gave us everything we needed – all that was left was to take brushes and pens in our paws and write the most jaw-dropping story. We want to unveil to you a world full of discoveries, joy, suffering, cliffhangers, and mysteries. And, of course, we want to make sure everyone can play with their Notcoins and distribute $WOOF. Woof!” Follow TheBITJournal for more updates.
