Wolf Game once swept the GamFi field in November 2021. The price of Sheep NFT in the game once soared from the launch price of 0.069 ETH to 10 ETH, and the price of its token WOOL also doubled within two or three days after the game was released. The outstanding results made it the most topical and attention-getting chain game at that time. But the good times didn’t last long, because Beanie, the "milk king", was exposed to black history (Beanie once posted dozens of tweets praising Wolf Game, and even opened a live broadcast for it), and there were loopholes in the contract for unlimited issuance, etc. The problem caused the prices of WOOL tokens and Sheep NFT to plummet for a short time, and the game mechanism was close to collapse. Because of this, the team urgently stopped the core activities of the first phase. Although some game combinations were released one after another in the later period, they were all in a tepid state.

Recently, with the upcoming launch of the full version of Wolf Game (the official said it will be in December), the price of Sheep NFT has increased significantly. On the Opensea 24-hour rankings, Wolf Game ranked fifth, with a total transaction volume of 10. new highs in the past month. At the same time, its Genesis Land NFT has also squeezed into the top ten of the rankings. Such data performance has to make us face up to the fact that Wolf Game seems to be making a comeback.

The three stages that Wolf Game went through in the early stage

Before introducing the new game mechanics, let's recall the development of Wolf Game. According to information on Wolf Game’s official website, since the initial game was released last year, it has gone through three stages of game warm-up, and the gameplay and rewards of each stage are slightly different:

1. Risky Game: This stage reflects the gaming nature of the game. The wolves and sheep need to choose between Yes Risk and No Risk. If they choose the Yes Risk option, they have a 50% chance to win the big WOOL bag, which will There are approximately 200,000 WOOL tokens. But if you choose No Risk, you will only receive a small WOOL bag containing approximately 65,000 WOOL tokens.

2. Cave Game: Wolves and Goats need to explore 14 different caves to find resources and rewards such as gems, WOOL tokens, etc.

3. secondary title

Innovative mechanics of the full game

The above three stages are laying the groundwork for the final full version of the game, and at the same time make players familiar with the game mechanism and gameplay of Wolf Game. So in the upcoming full version of the game, what innovative mechanisms will Wolf Game introduce?

The full version of the Wolf Game game still follows the traditional breeding + game + robbery + pledge and other playing methods.

The difference is that Wolf Game will adopt a "hybrid Web3-Web2 architecture", that is, gameplay will take place off-chain, while asset ownership will be on-chain, and five off-chain resources CHOPS, GRASS, STONE, WATER will be introduced , WOOD, these resources are produced in Genesis Lands.

Specifically, the Wolf Game game is played in 101 communities consisting of 20,000 Genesis Lands (the current floor price of Genesis Lands is 0.5 ETH), and community #0 is where the wolves breed and recharge. Neighborhoods #1 to #100 are farms, where the main game activities take place.

Each Genesis Lands is composed of four types of terrain, each of which produces different resources, such as pastures producing grass (GRASS); quarries producing stone (STONE); forests producing wood (WOOD); lakes producing water ( WATER). The daily production rate of each resource depends on how much of that type of terrain occupies the entire Genesis Lands. For example, a lake with a larger proportion of surface area will produce more water (but less other resources). CHOPS is a new resource involved in sheep and wolf breeding, which can be obtained from "burning" sheep at the "butcher".

In addition, these resources can also be exchanged through the game's built-in AMM to provide high liquidity.

Weather is another new factor introduced that affects resource gathering. There are three different types of weather in the game (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and exist independently in the community.

In the game, sheep can start collecting the above five resources from any land they choose, and wolves can plunder the resources they collect. In the process of collecting sheep, they will continue to consume energy.

Players can also use the delegation function, which allows others to use assets without transferring ownership.

Therefore, to win the game, players must develop their own strategies to grow their group and win as many WOOL rewards as possible.

Judging from the gameplay and progress of several stages of Wolf Game, the project party already has a relatively clear and complete plan for the future. After all, chain game players have limited time and energy. Although projects that have exploded in a short period of time in the past can be obtained from many games The project competes for "game time", but quickly loses attention due to various factors (security, token economy, gameplay mechanism). However, judging from the recent discussion and participation in Wolf Game, the launch of the full version of the game can still arouse everyone's enthusiasm.

Just because Wolf Game has experienced contract loopholes and other problems before, after the new game is launched, it is recommended that players need to observe further to rule out other risks.
