Project Roadmap

Join us on the path and reap the rewards. This 12-month action plan for the Void Mosaics is tightly focused on leading with utility. Let's build a better on-ramp for newcomers to Web 3

THE ROAD TO THE ASTRAL ASSEMBLAGE: THE VOID MOSAIC ROADMAP

Blockchain Friendly 3D Void Mosaics (Q1 2024)

I think step one on the road to the Astral Assemblage with these Void Mosaics is getting them on chain. I already have the code in place to render and send the user a download of their Void Mosaic in Metaverse-friendly GLB format, but they need compression and optimization if they’re going to fit on the Bitcoin Blockchain as an Ordinal.

Make them Customizable (Q1 2024)

Personalization is key… I want for you to be able to check in with your bitmap(s) and view and customize your Void Mosaic to suit YOU. It is yours to do with as you please after all! This will include a selection of “skins” – I’m going to commit to Seven. One for each of the Chief Seven Archons.

Additionally you should be able to adjust things like it’s opacity, metalness, color, glow, and even add some special effects. This can all be done right from the browser, but it’s going to take some development time to add this feature. This is a bigger lift than optimizing the Void Mosaics to fit on the blockchain, and it feeds perfectly into the next phase of the Void Mosaic Roadmap…

Make Void Mosaics Inscribable (Q2 2024)

Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent is just the FIRST Web 3 game that will be set in the Astral Assemblage Multiverse. And it’s quickly shaping up to be an early adopter / case-study on building a metaverse around a video game.

My vision for the assets I create on my path to releasing Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent is to make collectibles that have utility that travels between games. Maybe you play Aeon’s Ascent and you also play one of our future titles. Wouldn’t it be cool if the Void Mosaic had utility in both games? These could be entirely different experiences… Aeon’s Ascent will be an immersive 3d browser based strategy game. Our next game might be an Unreal Engine action adventure! Who knows what the future holds?

What I do know now, is that the portability requirements necessitate getting the Void Mosaics on chain if this is to become a reality. So what I am planning is to make the Void Mosaic Viewer capable of allowing you to inscribe your customized 3d Void Mosaic to the Bitcoin Blockchain without having to jump through any unnecessary hoops. Very excited about this step.

Make them Experienceable (Q3 2024)

My favorite part of Game Development – the Lore Writing aside – is definitely brainstorming game mechanics. And I have some fun plans for making the Void Mosaics playable and experienceable.

• Daily Deathmatches – As mentioned above, in-game, these void mosaics entitle you the holder to take part in Daily Deathmatches against an onslaught of Void Creatures where your goal is to set a new all time high score, dispatch as many Void Creatures as possible and reap cool rewards

• Exclusive Missions – These are precious objects within the Hypostasis, and the Astral Assemblage Multiverse as a whole. While they are numerous there are simply not enough of them in the Hypostasis to protect every star system. As a holder, you’ll travel far and wide with your Void Mosaic to defend the Zoe-tropic light the Void Creatures Crave.

• Make them In-Game Attractions for other players – Not everyone in Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent is going to be a Web 3 afficionado like you early adopters. They won’t be Bitmap holders, all. I say let them still have fun with the Void Mosaics too. Let’s make them in-game destinations where, should you find one, they provide you access to the Deathmatch game mode, and perhaps provide some kind of defensive buff whenever you engage in combat in the star system they occupy. I think this will really increase player satisfaction and am stoked to bring this feature to Aeon’s Ascent.

THESE ARE YOUR VOID MOSAICS… I JUST DISCOVERED THEM…

I’m writing this article with a heavy anxiety in my chest. Well… Let’s call it excitement-laden anxiety.. I see a path forward into the Web 3 gaming space that I couldn’t have imagined when I began this game development adventure last April. I knew I WANTED to lean that direction, but I had no clue how to get there.

That’s all changing with the advent of Bitmaps, BRC-20 and BRC-420 tokens, and now… there’s these Void Mosaics.

They only exist because I made a mistake… a happy accident (thanks Bob Ross!) when coding my 3d interpretation of a Bitcoin Bitmap. Sure, the single-transaction blocks aren’t that dynamic to look at, but I have ideas for them as well that I’ll keep under my hat for now 😉

Because these have ties to the fabric of the metaverse on Bitcoin (bitmaps), I don’t want to be the only one deciding how these Void Mosaics can be imbued with utility. I’m also a big proponent of the wisdom of a focused crowd, and building in public.

I hope you’ll join me in our Discord Server and we can chat about the utility of the Void Mosaics… Not just in Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent, but in the Bitcoin Ecosystem as a whole. Let’s make awesome together. Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent is currently on a 12-month roadmap to version 1.0 as of March 1, 2024. (More details soon!)

Your voice matters in the cosmos we’re building. The Void Mosaics are just the beginning – join us in shaping a universe where your actions, your creativity, and your choices forge the future. Get ready to claim your space, influence the galaxy, and embark on an adventure like no other with Seven Archons: Aeon’s Ascent.

Now… enough of my rambling… Go play with the Void Mosaics!
