Farverse

Update to sharing just released. A lot of people rightly worried about spam. Going to be trying the following for the next couple of days:

You can still share your profile but there's no points bonus. Instead, you get a bonus just for visiting every day and keeping your streak going. The higher your streak, the more points you earn each day

The "Share to earn +200XP" is now becoming the "Daily Boost +200XP". After sharing your pet for the first time, you can use this without needing to share again. Still only available every 12h. All existing pets will not need to be shared. Newly hatched pets only need to be shared once.

"Action All Pets" can now be used WITHOUT the 50% penalty. All your pets will get the full bonus for all the Feed, Play, Clean, Boost actions. It's still on a 1h cooldown, and you can still do individual action in between.

Great changes for Farpets! Really like those cute adorable pets, want to hatch more of them, have to read the paper and see what’s the point! You have any idea?

THE ROAD AHEAD FOR THE FARVERSE

🌌 The Farverse 🌌

FarPets is just the first step, and building out the Farverse will take time. I see a world of interconnected gaming experiences, and partnerships with other projects. It goes beyond just pets, it’s about building a thriving onchain world. And what better place to be building than on Farcaster.

🥚 Warp Eggs 🥚

The Farcaster Free Mint will be closing soon (exact time TBD). Thanks to all of the casters who hatched their eggs and shared with the friends, it means the world! I may bring this back occasionally to onboard some new users (I think a Free Mint Fridays every now and then could be fun).

Thanks even more to those who dropped some $ on a couple extra eggs, absolute legends! The open mint on Warp Eggs will continue indefinitely for now. It’s a nice little revenue stream to keep the lights on, it will allow new users to join without too much of a barrier, and those hunting the entire collection to HATCH ‘EM ALL!

🐾 More Pets 🐾

I missed a few of people’s favourites (sorry), so there are plenty more FarPets on the way. Most of the new pets will not be animated, but they’ll be no less fun to collect. The new collection will be hatched from the same Warp Eggs, so if you’re hodling eggs you’re already ready. There will be a distinction between the original (Generation One) and the new (Generation Two) collections.

If you have hatched a pet you’re not a fan of (sorry cockroach owners 🪳), or have a few duplicates, hold onto them and keep levelling up. I hear our expert Warp Egg scientists are working on something they call “Transmutation” 🪄

⭐ Items ⭐

Pet owners will have a way to earn free items every day. Some of them will be purely cosmetic, some will be single use, and others will give your pets a long term boost. There will be a store where these items can be purchased cheaply as well.

To make the distribution and game mechanics easier, these items will be offchain and non-transferable (at least for now).

🕹️ Mini Games 🕹️

Mini games will be the primary way to earn and use items. It’s also a fun way for me to try out new ideas without having to launch entirely new Mini Apps or devote time away from the project. Some will be open to all, some will be closed to only pet owners

📣 Sharing 📣

The cast sharing has been great for engagement, exposure and getting the FarPets name out there, but it's starting to get a bit spammy. I'm still looking into ways to balance having a continuous share mechanism that feels more fresh than just posting the same things multiple times a day. Will keep rolling out new versions and testing over the coming weeks. 

🔥 Streak Rewards 🔥

Committed players who come back every day will be rewarded with items, boosts and points bonuses. If you come back once a day your streak should automatically increment. You can see a countdown on the homepage of when you need to come back.

🏆 Leaderboard Rewards 🏆

Those who make their way up the leaderboard by earning points will be rewarded too, exact rewards are TBD. The longer term plan for the leaderboard will be to split it in two: 
 - All time leaderboard
 - Weekly rolling leaderboard (think similar to Farcaster Rewards)

🙏 Thank you 🙏

Thank you again to everyone who has made this possible so far! There’s plenty more in store that I haven’t even mentioned, this is just the beginning. There’s no timeline, no promises and no guarantees. It’s whenever I get around to doing it. I’m just one guy with a MacBook and a dream. Let’s build something fun together 🤝

Welcome to the Farverse. Enjoy your stay!

No whitepaper. Just a rough plan.
