Introduction

Set in a remote training ground somewhere in the Gotchiverse, players will be able to engage in intense PvP battles. For game mode 1 we’ll be focused on multiplayer and damage system development, followed by Gotchi trait integration and mech customization.

Game Mechanics

Players will pilot their Mechagotchis using a mouse and keyboard , with future updates to include controller support.

The game’s mechanics are deeply tied to the Gotchi traits, which tentatively influence mech performance as follows:

• Energy: Balances Health Points and Action Points.
• Aggression: Dictates the strength of Shields and Attack Speed.
• Spookyness: Affects the chance for Dodge and Critical Hits.
• Brain Size: Determines the power of Melee versus Ranged attacks.
• Eyes shape and Color effect TBC

LAST MECH STANDING WINS!

Blockchain Integration

Blockchain technology is at the heart of Mechagotchis, enabling the distribution of reward tokens and NFTs that represent rare mech upgrades and to verify ownership for exclusive in-game content (eg. LE Gold Skin for Mechagotchi FAKEgotchi holders.)

Community Engagement

The game will foster community involvement through active dev logs, Beta test parties, a community mech design contest, and potentially even a level-builder for user-generated maps. And of course at the end of each phase’s development we will hold our usual XP event/ playtest. These initiatives should contribute to the game’s evolution as well as engage players and help them feel more involved in the development process.

Platform

Mechagotchis is a web-based PC game developed in Unity, ensuring broad accessibility while maintaining high-quality graphics and gameplay.

Customization

Mech customization will evolve from simple paint jobs to extensive modifications, including weapons, armor, and other mech parts, allowing players to tailor their combatants to their playstyle, modifying their in-game behavior. Think of this part like “wearables for your mech”

Timeline

This proposal is to fund development of game mode 1, which is expected to enter beta testing within two months. Milestones will include devlogs, environment designs, secondary mech design finalization, closed group beta testing, wider testing, and an XP event tournament!
