LAVA LABS' vision is to create a WEB 3.0 platform that maintains these principles across multiple games. Their goal is to embrace the fundamental core values of player-centric ownership and pioneer this new space as developers, together with their talented community. They aim to create a sustainable long-term ecosystem by blending the fundamentals of WEB 3.0 with traditional gaming.
A FAR AWAY REALM
LAVA LABS' mission with A Far Away Realm (AFAR) is to simplify blockchain games through fun in-game features for players by creating games that appeal to traditional video game players and blockchain gamers alike.
AFAR Features
The AFAR: PvP Game is a "level-based platform-shooter" where players race, shoot & platform over rounds collecting points as they race to the finish line. When the rounds are over, the player with the highest total points wins.
The AFAR:Mining Game is a Build-to-Earn blockchain-based mining game where players use mine mechanics and upgrade systems to gain resources and NFT rewards.
The AFAR: Spaceship Game is a trading-based game where players transport resources and travel across the universe, building their space-merchant empire.
The AFAR: Social Hub serves as the connection between the games in the AFAR universe.
Ecosystem Overview
The AFAR ecosystem has multiple games that can be played independently of each other. The games will be released sequentially as the ecosystem develops further within the AFAR universe.
The Planet is in the center of the Universe, where the Mining Game takes place and the Social Hub is located. There are two types of Land that exist on The Planet are AFAR Land and Resource Land. The Mining Game is played on both types of Land. The Land is limited in supply and may be owned by groups or individuals in the near future.
The Torus is a massive spaceship where the AFAR PvP Game takes place. The Torus has the ability to host varying levels. The Torus uses the Social Hub teleport pads for its pre-game and post-game lounge.
The Marketplace is where trading and space-commerce takes place.
The Spaceship Game is a trading-based game where players use spaceships to transport resources and Eggs to become the best space-merchant.
Planet
The Planet is made up of plots of Land with the Social Hub at its centre. There are 2 types of Land: Resource Land and AFAR Land. Players can play the Mining Game on either type.
As players venture out and explore The Planet, they can purchase a limited amount of NFT Resource Land plots, they can also build mining camps to harvest The Planet's resources.
The Torus and Marketplace orbit around The Planet, where the PvP Game and Spaceship Game take place.
AFAR: PVP Game
The AFAR: PvP Game takes place on The Torus, a massive spaceship designed to host competitions. Players will race to the finish line, platforming and shooting other players. Players compete through rounds, earning points to see who can get the most and be crowned the winner.
Players compete through 4 rounds to complete a match. After playing through all 4 rounds, players with the highest total Victory Points will win. Earning more victory points than adversaries will get players XP, increasing their season pass level, netting awesome rewards!
(Levels)
The Torus has the ability to host a variety of levels that have varying themes, difficulty and gameplay. As the game develops and evolves, LAVA LABS will develop the levels in which players participate aboard The Torus.
(Gameplay)
Aboard The Torus, your heroes participate in matches racing to the finish line by shooting, avoiding traps, and navigating obstacles. The match continues through multiple rounds with increasing stakes.
Over time, as you compete in more matches and start making a name for yourself, your reputation level will increase, allowing you to unlock cosmetics and special items for your hero.
In AFAR, players can play as one of six characters.
Each character is highly customizable to accurately represent each players personality and taste. Custom character skins and special items, such as weapon skins, as well as emotes and other moves allow players to express themselves freely in AFAR.
Within the AFAR ecosystem, having fun and making fun games comes first.
AFAR: Mining Game
The Mining Game is a base defense game where players can construct buildings to harvest resources from The Planet. The resources are used to build defenses to protect Mining Camps from attacks.
All mining operations run on The Planet, where players build Mining Camps on either Resource Land or AFAR Land. By mining resources players will gain XP, allowing them to earn cosmetics and other rewards from the Season Pass.
Resources are required to upgrade and optimize Mining Camps. Better players can increase the rate at which they can mine resources and earn XP. Players will also need to pay for building defenses for their camp to stave off any attacks and continue mining.
Through experimentation, better players may discover superior combinations of Mining Camp upgrades and management to maximize Land yield over time.
AFAR: Social Hub
The Social Hub is located on The Planet and is a place for players to gather and have fun.
It is the heart of the ecosystem linking all the games in the AFAR universe together. Players can participate in social activities, special events and show off cosmetics they have earned. The Social Hub will evolve and grow with the help of the community, as they venture and explore new lands - contributing to its growth.
Players will gather at the Social Hub before and after PvP matches. Additionally, players may dock spaceships and attend special events.
AFAR: Spaceship Game
The Spaceship Game is a trading-based game where players transport resources and Eggs to become the best space-merchant. Once players acquire a Spaceship to play, they must discover trade routes to transport and make a profit while maintaining and upgrading their ship.
Play will occur between the Marketplace, The Torus, The Social Hub and Mining Camps. Players must determine the optimum goods to buy and sell at each destination.
Players will be able to buy new ships to carry more resources in their cargo bays and earn XP faster.
