Free-to-play game Сastaways

Officially name for this game - Сastaways. Branch - name of the parent company/studio.

Dayton Mills is the founder and CEO of Branch and a naturally born community builder, developer, and gamer. Having dropped out of high school in 2016, Dayton focused on building Minecraft servers. He created Statscraft, a plugin for Minecraft users to view metrics of their servers, which was later acquired by Tebex in 2017. Now, Dayton focuses all of his time on developing Branch and its community!

Castaways is in pre-pre-pre Alpha. Most game studios would build a game in silence for 2 years and then release it. Instead, Сastaway chose to build it in public from the very beginning.

So you can play the game right now! But it's ridiculously early, so know that what you see is only 1% of what it's going to become.

Abstract means it's easy for non-crypto people to play. You don't need to connect a wallet when first playing or even know what a wallet is. Instant gameplay means people can quickly pour into the game quickly with just a link.

But you can chop trees, craft some string, craft a bow, and just like that you made an NFT that can be traded without even realizing it.

What's The Raft? The Raft is a simple water vessel constructed of timber and rope and is useful for locating unclaimed islands. Its increased propulsion makes it essential for efficiently navigating large bodies of water.

August, 15, 202 Castaways drops the NFT collection called The Raft. Originally free to mint, these 100 pre-reveal rafts. View The Raft official collection here:

What are Islands? In The Islands Update, you will be able to use your Raft to claim an Island. Owning an Island means you own the resources on it as well. As an Island owner, you can earn royalties from any of the wood, or other minerals that are collected from it and sold.

1 Raft will be burnable for 1 Genesis Island. Owning a Genesis Island earns you royalties from all materials sold in the game on the grand exchange. Also, before the launch of Islands we will do a snapshot of Raft holders and be airdropping a portion of our token as a gift!
