Planet Atmos

Overview

Planet Atmos, also known as ExoGP, is a high-stakes racing game set in the hostile universe of the distant mining colony, Atmos. This futuristic game combines the thrill of flight-based racing with combat and customization. Players can rev their engines and join in fierce races, battling ruthless competitors to establish their legacy as legends of the skies.

Game Lore

The lore of Atmos begins with humanity's venture into the cosmos in search of new habitable planets. The discovery and subsequent settlement of Atmos in 2442 A.D. by Emergent Intergalactic marked a significant milestone. Initially known as exoplanet PX118, it was renamed Atmos due to its dense atmosphere and challenging weather patterns. The settlers, primarily spacefaring miners, relied on advanced exoskeleton technology, which evolved into sophisticated flight suits known as Exos. These Exos soon became central to both survival and recreation on the planet, giving rise to ExoGP – a competitive racing sport that captivated the settlers.

Gameplay and Features

In Planet Atmos, players pilot customizable Exos with six degrees of freedom, allowing for nuanced and responsive control. The dynamic flight mechanics enable players to turn, roll, juke, and fly in any direction, providing a challenging racing experience. Combat is important to the gameplay, with players deploying a variety of weapons, modules, and tools to outmaneuver and eliminate opponents. From firing weapons to dropping mines and boosting thrusters, every tool at a player's disposal can be the key to victory.

Customization

Customization is a key game feature of Planet Atmos. Players can personalize their Exos, adjusting colors, applying decals, and modifying appearances to reflect their unique style. This customization extends to the functional aspects of the Exo, allowing players to build tanks, speed demons, or acrobatic flyers tailored to their playstyle.

Game Modes

Planet Atmos offers a range of game modes to suit different preferences. In Quickplay, players can enjoy casual racing without competitive stakes, making it perfect for those looking to have fun without pressure. The Ranked mode introduces a competitive edge, where results impact seasonal standings and rewards, appealing to players seeking recognition and progression.

Custom Games provide private lobbies with customizable rules, ideal for personal challenges and friendly competitions. Special Events feature races with unique modifiers and additional rewards, adding variety and excitement to the gameplay. Lastly, The Academy offers tutorials and controlled environments for practicing flight mechanics, helping players refine their skills and master the game's mechanics.

Multiplayer is another component of Planet Atmos, with several PVP matchmaking playlists under the ExoGP umbrella. Players can compete in ranked races, custom games, and special events. Spectators can enjoy a great viewing experience with multiple camera angles, commentators, and in-game viewing opportunities. 

NFTs and Blockchain

Planet Atmos leverages Web3 to offer digital collectibles, providing players with ownership of in-game assets. The MKIV Datacard, the game's first digital collectible, offers high-fidelity images, sneak peeks at customization options, and exclusive access to community content. Datacard holders enjoy benefits such as exclusive mint windows, Discord roles, and first access to future mints and airdrops.

Land, Terraforming, Exos and Gear

The game's economy revolves around mining OREs, which are essential for fabricating new Exos and gear. Players can mine different types of OREs, each with unique properties affecting gear appearance and attributes. Fabrication involves using blueprints and OREs to create new gear pieces, which can be tuned and configured post-fabrication.

Atmos is divided into eight primary regions, each containing plots available for purchase. Players can mine these plots for OREs, build structures, and participate in the ongoing terraforming efforts to make the planet more habitable. The game's land and resource-based economy allows players to fully own their experience, contributing to the incremental evolution of Atmos into a decentralized, open Metaverse.
