Viniverse (game mechanics)

The Viniverse

The user creates an account for The Viniverse, no NFT required.

Their Soul is born. All souls are created equally. They have the same in-game model. They have neutral alignment.

The user plays as a soul floating through the Dark Matter Matrix (DMM).

This is a multiplayer experience. Everyone playing as their soul can freely move about the Dark Matter Matrix. There are token gated “doors” in the DMM that could only be accessed if the user holds a specific NFT. The soul can enter the Viniverse if it owns a Viniverse NFT avatar.

The Ethereum wallet is connected to the user’s account.

The NFT’s in the wallet are each their own playable characters.

 These NFT playable characters can earn points, gain experience, obtain in-game items etc.  Each NFT has their own levels and inventory.  Users can buy and sell their NFT characters.

As the user gains levels and items as their Viniverse NFT avatar, Soul Experience accrues on the Soul level of the users account. Good and evil actions the player takes also affect the Soul. The user’s Soul model changes as its experience increases and its alignment changes.

                                             *FUTURE COLLECTION PLANS*

(This will either be possible by: Creating the smart contracts in such a way that the user is not allowed to sell these NFT avatars on OpenSea, LooksRare, etc. They can ONLY be sold via the “VINIVERSE AVATAR SHOP”. If that is not possible, then there can be an incentive in place to entice users to use the “VINIVERSE AVATAR SHOP”. )

                  In order to put your NFT avatar for sale, you must stake it in the “VINIVERSE AVATAR SHOP”.  The “VINIVERSE AVATAR SHOP” will be a NFT marketplace strictly for Viniverse in-game avatars.  Users will be able to browse the available NFT avatars for sale and view their levels, inventory items, etc.  This allows for the users to correctly gauge the valuation of the NFT avatar.

This avoids the problem of: Sally has a high level NFT avatar with valuable items in it’s inventory. She puts it for sale on OpenSea. If Rafi wants to buy Sally’s NFT avatar on OpenSea, Rafi will have to check the Viniverse website, to view Sally’s NFT avatar’s levels and inventory items. That is inconvenient but a bigger problem still exists. Sally could potentially trade her in-game items to someone else, before Rafi buys her NFT. This will upset Rafi because the value of the NFT with those in-game items is much higher than without them.
