Game Analysis: XOCIETY

Highlights


XOCIETY is a “Gaming Metaverse” based on science fantasy, with the combined gameplay mechanics of Third Person Shooters and MMORPGs at its core. XOCIETY is dedicated to permanently and openly recording all players’ assets and experiences on a public blockchain. The project also aspires to provide a wide spectrum of utilities to various NFT assets out in the market by bringing them into the world of XOCIETY.


XOCIETY is built by a team of experts with industry-leading knowledge. They bring years of experience to Web3. Collectively they are called Team NDUS. Team NDUS isn't the only one working on XOCIETY. Team NDUS partnered with #HASHED—one of his leading funds in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space and also with UNOPND—a startup studio powering innovation in the NFT, Metaverse, and blockchain world.


The world of XOCIETY will be built into two phases, the first being the “Game Phase,” described by [Shoot, Earn, Pioneer]. In this phase, Team NDUS will present players with an appealing and engaging virtual world with fun game dynamics. After successfully delivering the “Game Phase” to Web3, the dev team will launch the second half of development: the “Metaverse Phase.”


XOCIETY is a Loot Shooter designed with detailed strategic & role-play-based progression. The gameplay loop of XOCIETY is based on great input and strong, positive feedback. Through shooting and winning, players will find chances to obtain various loot. These assets can be consumed to forge better gear or traded in the market for profit.


To achieve immersion and persistence within a virtual world, “Avatar” and “Land” are the most vital assets to players. Team NDUS is designing a framework to integrate the wider NFT ecosystem into XOCIETY and create utility within XOCIETY.


XOCIETY will expand into a creation-based gaming metaverse, where contributors are substantially rewarded for the effort. XOCIETY will offer a variety of high-quality in-game authoring tools.


XOCIETY has built a solid community with 39.5K followers on Twitter and 20.3K members on Discord. The team responds quite quickly on Discord to questions and problems raised by the community.


Overview


XOCIETY is a brand-new gaming experienceunder development. Starting with a well-developed MMOTPS core, progressing to land and resource ownership with robust tokenomics and creator economy. The game and metaverse are being developed by a well-established team of over 50 developers with decades of experience in the tech and Web2 gaming fields. XOCIETY is dedicated to permanently and openly recording all players’ assets and experiences on a public blockchain. The project also aspires to provide a wide spectrum of utilities to various NFT assets out in the market by bringing them into the world of XOCIETY.



XOCIETY will be a High-Fidelity Metaverse. In XOCIETY you’ll have a different level of freedom from existing Metaverse worlds. In XOCIETY, you can own anything, do anything, and go anywhere. Your guide, named Companion, will always be with you and help you. This is XOCIETY, a new world that’s different from the old stereotypes.


XOCIETY is built by a team of experts with industry-leading knowledge. They bring years of experience to Web3. Collectively they are called Team NDUS. Team NDUS isn't the only one working on XOCIETY. Team NDUS partnered with #HASHED—one of his leading funds in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space and also with UNOPND—a startup studio powering innovation in the NFT, Metaverse, and blockchain world.



“Shoot, Earn, Pioneer, build your Metaverse”— this phrase describes how the world of XOCIETY will be built. The process is divided into two phases, the first being the “Game Phase,” described by [Shoot, Earn, Pioneer]. In this phase, Team NDUS will present players with an appealing and engaging virtual world with fun game dynamics.After successfully delivering the “Game Phase” to Web3, the dev team will launch the second half of development: the “Metaverse Phase.”


Gameplay


XOCIETY is a Loot Shooter designed with detailed strategic & role-play-based progression. When a compelling backstory is the entry point of immersion, gameplay with maximum replayability is key to players settling into the gaming world. Team NDUS is focusing on providing quality gameplay experiences for players, creating a sense of belonging to a newly constructed Web3 world.

A taste of the deeper story in XOCIETY waiting to be told:

“Before the age of XOCIETY, humankind had constructed a world at its epoch, a peaceful and prosperous civilization. This enlightenment was achieved by introducing a new energy source called “MOTUS,” a crystallized particle refined from human happiness. When a person feels happy, an A.I. drone called ‘Companion’ captures the emotion. Then, it converts emotion into highly efficient energy, powerful enough to fulfill all requirements.

But as civilization progressed, the threshold to feel happiness escalated, resulting in a decreased production of MOTUS. Reduced MOTUS output led to a global energy crisis, creating a depression in human society and even worsening energy production. Like a disease without a cure, the vicious cycle of depression and energy deficit came into full motion.


Desperate for MOTUS, humankind started to depend on violent and extreme methods to collect energy. Forcible production of happiness through mass human trafficking and drug injection became prevalent. Nations waged war on one another to secure energy reserves.


As the self-destruction of civilization seemed inevitable, the international society called for combined efforts to overcome the threat. Years later, a technology to control dreams and collect MOTUS from sleeping humans was introduced. This groundbreaking innovation led to a global campaign to put all human beings into hibernation under the slogan of “Recharge MOTUS, Regain FUTURE.”


Though some objected, most agreed to the pan-global agenda and voluntarily hibernated to dream of a new start of human civilization, where an infinite amount of MOTUS would have been preserved over centuries. And the whole plan was to be managed by NDUS, the ultimate artificial intelligence. But it would only take years for the A.I. to discover that a threshold to feel happiness still existed, even in dreams…”


The world of XOCIETY is under development by MJ Lee, the original author of Ragnarok comics & game, and by YK Choe, who teamed with MJ once more as a scenario writer and as director of game design.



In the age of XOCIETY, Earth is filled with fearsome and hostile creatures threatening human existence. Players must engage these monsters and secure safe territories for humanity to rebuild civilization. XOCIETY is a Third Person Shooter, which allows for engaging gameplay and combat experiences and hyper-responsive player control.


When a compelling backstory is the entry point of immersion, gameplay with maximum replayability is key to players settling into the gaming world. Unfortunately, we have witnessed some metaverse left empty without players as they have failed to create attachments. Team NDUS is focusing on providing quality gameplay experiences for players, creating a sense of belonging to a newly constructed Web3 world.

The gameplay loop of XOCIETY is based on great input and strong, positive feedback. Through shooting and winning, players will find chances to obtain various loot. These assets can be consumed to forge better gear or traded in the market for profit. This core of loot and sell has been prevalent in Web2 gaming, although conducted insecurely and sometimes obstructed by centralized decision-making. Therefore, Team NDUS is adopting public blockchain and tokens to guarantee these transactions are carried out safely and transparently.


NFTs


To achieve immersion and persistence within a virtual world, “Avatar” and “Land” are the most vital assets to players. Team NDUS takes the stance that creating these assets is not enough, without the context of a universe that can host meaningful experiences for the user.


Team NDUS is designing a framework to integrate the wider NFT ecosystem into XOCIETY and create utility within XOCIETY. This vision was announced during NFT.NYC ’22 and has been developed into the concept of two-way interoperability.


The dev team is partnering with leading Web3 projects to design joint development guidelines to support virtual assets’ internal & external transfer. The scope of cooperation covers game-related and non-game Web3 projects, even including fashion and PFP. XOCIETY is paving the way for developers and creators across diverse fields, and the team will support their ideas with quality art and technical support.



XOCIETY resources will span a wide range of useable and tradeable items. From raw materials like MOTOUS to goods and items for land development and items for use in raids. As competition for superior grades in MOTUS is more challenging, players must put in the effort to earn it, reflecting the idea of ‘No Free Lunch.’ This concept suggests that rewards are only earned through effort and hard work, and there are no shortcuts or freebies in the pursuit of success.


Additional Feature


Creator Role

XOCIETY will expand into a creation-based gaming metaverse, where contributors are substantially rewarded for the effort.XOCIETY will offer a variety of high-quality in-game authoring tools. All content created in this way can be enjoyed by everyone at any time and together, there’s no locked content creation. As long as resources and time allow, you can ‘make’ many things and ‘share’ them at XOCIETY. And those activities and outcomes will make you more honorable and powerful in your influence.


XOCIETY is introducing the concept of “Co-Work” to draw various Web 3.0 entities into development from early stages. The drive is already underway, as the first event to name one NPC and recommend her gear was held within XOCIETY’s communities. Those who entered into co-work, including the winner, were awarded NTx, a Soulbound Token that was introduced to quantify the dedication of community members.


As the infrastructure for creation expands, Team NDUS is planning to issue a variety of mod requests to the community, including artwork, voice recording, character script, and even smart contracts. The community will evaluate submitted mods, and the creations upvoted by members will officially be added to the world of XOCIETY. Such dedication will be rewarded with substantial benefits, including Mintlist, FTs, and NFTs. This new concept of a decentralized development cycle, building a product with the community from the beginning, is an experiment Team NDUS is eager to work on.



Team



Team NDUS is a group of seasoned developers with various specialties. Most come from the Web2 Gaming scene and have launched numerous multi-platform globally serviced games. In addition to Web3 specialists, Team NDUS is around fifty people, with a complete development pipeline that includes quality assessment, community management, and business development.


Community


At the time of writing, XOCIETY has 39.5K followers on Twitter and 20.3K members on Discord. The team responds quite quickly on Discord to questions and problems raised by the community.


XOCIETY has the typical Discord channel discussions aroundgameplay, announcement, economy, events, mint list, guidelines, and support.
