2/ Changes that were/are being rolled out

• Big changes to step to energy convergence changes
• Guild habitat harvest efficiency
• Boost for Genesis Genopets (10% boost when banking steps)
• Full details:
medium.com/@genopets/upda…

3/ Why?

• Encourage people to lvl their pets
• A lvl 22 pet only gives 300 energy more for banking 10k steps vs a lvl 1 pet. Not rewarding enough. Lvling needs to be meaningful
• +/- 50% of the DAU aren’t habitat holders. They've joined for the game. Walk, lvl up & battle.

4/ How?

• Less energy per step on lower pet lvl
• Lower the energy requirement to lvl up
• Level 1 to higher lvls will still take more or less the same time. However lvling will snowball & give significant progression to encourage users to do so.
• Avoid pure walk & harvest

5/ • Defined as "Practical Energy Gain" (whitepaper.genopets.me/game-mechanics…)
• Note: The free pet will eventually turn into an NFT (level requirement before able to do so).
• This through one of the smart contracts the team is currently working on (bring game items in & out of the game)

6/ Genopets DNA

• Discord role
• Started about 1 year ago
• A collective of people that really care about the game
• New system in the works in which DNA roles & Moderators can up & downvote access and removal of new/old members. DAO kind of setup.

7/ Genesis Genopets

• NFT based airdrop coming
1. Crafting related (snapshot date to be announced)
2. Energy drop
• Team also looking at practical advantages in the game.
• Genesis habitat holders aren’t forgotten but Genesis Genopets will be first.

8/ Android Users

• @genopets team have approval from Google Fit.
• #Android update on the way to improve battery life & step tracking.
• Hopefully available middle next week.

9/ Cheaters

• Automated system in place
• Cheaters are being actively punished (look at leaderboard)
• False positive rate is very low (90%+ are actually cheating)
• Working on automated way to improve the appeal process

10/ Habitats

* Genopet is now visualised on top of the habitat (in-app). Team still working on visual improvements.
* Crafting should improve importance of habitats (more value).
* Team thinking of possibly adding option to deactivate the habitats (due to new pet lvl up changes)

11/ Lore

• Team shared some insights regarding the lore. It’s something they’re working on.
• Interested in incorporating the daily inner human struggles into @genopets.
• Attached are examples of ‘Afraid' and ’Sorrow’.

12/ Genopet & Battle

• Team's working on visual expressions of how the pet is feeling (surprised, happy, …)

• Team has been playing with a number of different battle approaches
• Want it to be easy to pickup & difficult to master
• Use phone as a kinetic input device

13/ Crafting

• Smart contracts are going well.
• Most of testing is done.
• Integrating with frontend.
• Treasure hunt contract is actually the crafting contract. Kill two birds with one stone.
• Will have possibility to do experiments. Some things might work, others won't

14/ • Users can combine ingredients to tryout new, unexplored recipes.
• If it works, receive the recipe on your mainframe (tied to your account). If it doesn't work, you keep ingredients.
• Future recipes might require a certain habitat level or have an elemental requirement

15/ • Common, Uncommon & Rare augments can be acquired through ingredients in the lab
• Legendary & Mythic items will require a blueprint. Effort needed (through a story, events, active in the community etc)
• Augments are permanent. Can equip & take it off. Doesn’t disappear

16/ Treasure hunt

• Focus on filling out the recipe book.
• Language used in some of the visuals are in a "Genovian alien language" on #ccrypt (ask in Discord for help).
• Launch on Tuesday 8 AM PST // 3 PM UTC.

17/ Goal

1. Have users use the crafting contracts
2. Take players through the experience what crafting will be like

• You have to find out what the recipes are. Solve puzzles
• The ultimate prize is to craft one of the few "Legendary augments"

18/ Legendary augments

• Released into the game through treasure hunts.
• A one time thing. No more will be created after the event.
• Limited edition (300).

19/ How to get it?

• Few weeks of puzzles that need to be completed.
• Solve the puzzle + pay 180 $Ki -> Receive a missing page from the crafting notebook.
• 5 pages grants a 1 time access to the legendary crafting lab.
• Craft legendary augment or get consolidation prize.

20/ • Puzzles can be solved multiple times (they'll change at each new attempt).
• Multiple chances to try & craft but have to pay the cost each time.
• The cost will be a certain amount of crystals, $GENE & $Ki.
