In a move that merges traditional and web3 gaming, HOME Verse, the Layer 2 blockchain developed by double jump.tokyo, has announced the integration of NFTs from 9Lives Arena, a competitive online RPG, into its platform.

Players can now experience the thrill of the permadeath loop, persistent progression, resource gathering, and item crafting via the Epic Games Store, with NFTs seamlessly woven into the fabric of the game on HOME Verse. Built on top of Oasys, a Layer 1 blockchain designed for gaming, HOME Verse offers a seamless web3 gaming experience for its global player communities and optimized environment for game developers.

Game Overview:

9Lives Arena aims to redefine the traditional RPG genre with an innovative permadeath loop and persistent progression. Players can engage in heart-pounding PvP battles, where strategy and skill are paramount in their quest for domination.

True ownership of in-game items and the freedom to craft NFT-based armor and weapon skins provide players with unprecedented control over their gameplay experience. Players can train their NFT-based virtual pet, Ooogy, to gather resources and craft items even while they are offline, and recharge with a peaceful fishing experience. 

Other features include:

• PvP: A complex permadeath loop and persistent account progression offer a unique PvP experience.

• Ooogy: An online/offline companion that gathers resources and crafts items for the player.

• Fishing: A relaxing experience with competitive leaderboards and surprise catches.

• Treasure Hunting: Receive treasure maps from fishing and send Ooogy on treasure hunts for rare loot.

Mounts and Ooogy Eggs as NFTs:

Mounts: Ride in style with a limited supply of 9999 randomly rolled mounts, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind appearance and varying stats such as stamina and speed. Rarity is determined by background color, from uncommon to legendary.

Ooogies: Dynamic companions with unique traits, working tirelessly offline, leveling up over time, and featuring rare Royal Bloodlines. The more Royal Bloodlines, the rarer and more valuable they become.

9 Lives Arena plans to expand the gaming experience with diverse NFT collections, featuring Ooogy toys, wearables, armor, weapons, blueprints, and more. This expansion aims to enhance the overall enjoyment of the game, allowing players to buy, sell, and trade NFTs, including crafted versions and rare loot, contributing to a more engaging gaming experience. Stay tuned for the official NFT marketplace coming this January.
