Inspiration

The greatest inspiration comes from the famous video game that we've played since our childhood: Pokemon. We wonder if every creature in that game is unique and what will happen if we own one of them to play with, fight again other players and enjoy every moment with our monster. That sounds great!!! With the support of blockchain technology, we are able to make our dream come true. That's when Gallumon is born.

Gallumon will always try to become the best NFT game that makes players feel entertained when playing and brings much long-term value to them.

Gallumon is integrating AR to bring real interaction and experiences between players and their monsters.

What it does

The game is a Play-and-earn turn-based RPG game with open-world aspects and card battling mechanics where players can breed, nurture, and trade creatures that have multiple body parts that define its statistics and the unique set of cards, other than that, players can also bring their creatures to fight enemies or other players.

How we built it

We have 3 months to learn and research the important functions to include in Gallumon. In addition to entertainment aspects, we try to create an economic system in the game that operates stably naturally We are seeking a new blockchain network that meets our requirement about fee and speed to bring the best user's experience to our players

Challenges we ran into

While the development of this game, we encountered many technical difficulties with Solana, such as:

Lack of references and documentation
Completely change of mental model, which is less familiar
Limitation on datatype and memory slot's capacity

One of our developers even wrote a blog post about these problems on Medium. Let's take a look at it!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The graphics model of character is carefully invested in quality as well as its content.
We try to create various ways to play the game, besides battle, players can interact with other players, participate in interesting activities in the game and gather favorite characters and items
Many main functions are successfully transferred from BSC smart-contract to Solana programs on time.

What we learned

Blockchain opens a diverse world for our team to learn and find out the way to apply it in the gaming industry: with a strong background in developing games and Dapps on Ethereum before, there are also other aspects that we need to learn to build this product such as:

How to build a program on Solana. There is a huge difference in the infrastructure between Ethereum and Solana
Research about finance and other products to build an in-game economy
Many aspects of blockchain and cryptocurrency: Tokenomic, DAO,...

What's next for Gallumon

Gallumon has completed the gameplay and game concept. We expect to release a landing page including a whitepaper in Q4/2021
We are starting to run our marketplace and gameplay on Solana's test-net
Gallumon will sell 10000 monsters on the first release.
