Galactic Saga is a classic play-to-earn (P2E) game featuring tried-and-tested game mechanics. However, as the seasons progress within the game, we'll continuously introduce innovations and new mechanics to enhance gameplay. Our decision to adopt this game concept is based on our experience and the success of top blockchain games.\
\
Our primary objective is to craft an engaging and well-balanced gaming experience, offering a diverse array of mechanics, intriguing events, and exciting opportunities for our community to explore.\
\
Once you've established your base and outfitted your ships with astronauts and robots, you'll embark on the exciting journey of mining Game tokens and NFTs. From there, it's up to you to devise your own strategy and forge your path in the game. Whether you choose to sell Tokens and NFTs or invest in upgrading your base, ships, and units to maximize rewards on missions, the choice is yours. Additionally, you can craft Hero cards by combining mined NFTs, which can then be used for Staking, further boosting your rewards on missions.\
\
All NFT units feature Attack and Defense indicators, signaling the inclusion of PVE mechanics designed to enhance the game's economy over the long term. These mechanics will be introduced in one of the upcoming seasons of the game. Galactic Saga operates on a seasonal system, with each season bringing changes to the mining coefficient and NFT luck on planets. Season 0 offers the most favorable boost coefficients for mining tokens and NFTs. In subsequent seasons, boost coefficients will dynamically rotate across the 20 planets for specific periods, while the standard coefficient of the current season remains in effect the rest of the time. We recommend starting your journey in the zero season to maximize rewards on missions.

We understand that time is precious for modern crypto game players. Our game is designed to be efficient: after setting up your base and assembling teams with ships, you only need to dedicate a few minutes each day to mining tokens and NFTs by sending your ships on missions. You may spend a bit more time trading NFTs on the market and strategizing, but you won't have to devote hours to the game every day, allowing you to use your time as you see fit.

Our graphic designer has presented us with several design options for the game. After careful consideration, we've opted for a trendy retro-inspired style, blending the charm of classic 32-pixel games with a modern casual aesthetic. This choice allows us to create numerous new NFTs and game mechanics with visually appealing yet simple graphics. Additionally, we've decided to forego videos in our NFTs to streamline asset size and ensure seamless display on the marketplace. We sincerely hope that you'll appreciate the visual direction of our game.\

Galactic Saga game utilizes the WAX blockchain, one of the most established ecosystems for Web3 gaming and NFTs. With benefits like free transactions for players, reliable tools for developers, and the top-notch NFT marketplace AtomicHub, it stands out as the most appealing gaming blockchain available. This is a deliberate choice and the preferred blockchain of our team. However, we are also working on implementing a multi-chain solution for our upcoming games.

The game's economy is designed to be both straightforward and robust. Drawing from lessons learned from past projects, we've crafted an economy that we believe will thrive for years to come. Our team does not possess or engage in the sale of the game token, and we do not endorse token giveaways or any other forms of token distribution. The sole method for acquiring a game token is through in-game mining. Furthermore, there are no fees on token or NFT withdrawals within the game, and this policy will remain unchanged. The only limitation players may encounter is that once a mission is completed, they must wait until 00:00 UTC to withdraw their mined tokens and NFTs. This is a feature of the game mechanics: each ship with a crew can embark on a mission once per day, after which it will be temporarily locked until 00:00 UTC.\
\
We're genuinely hopeful that our beloved players will embrace the spirit and concept of the Galactic Saga game.
