Generative Dungeon – Where Every NFT is its own Game

Advertised as artwork you can play and create by DungeonMasterReal, Generative Dungeon features 3000 interactive dungeon-themed NFTs.

Imagine Roguelike dungeons with potions, monsters, wizards and all sorts of pixelated wonders made both an NFT and a game. The dungeons are old-school and playable on any browser, similar to the dungeons featured in the 1990s and early 2000s era games. That’s correct!

Generative Dungeon offers a collection of NFTs that are simultaneously interactive video games. When you purchase the NFT, you’re also purchasing the Generative dungeon game. Early versions of the game are also available on OpenSea.

Overview
So, how does it work, exactly?
The dungeons in Generative Dungeon are minted on the Ethereum network, with rarity increased based on traits such as the type of dungeon, the number of floors (infinite being the rarest), and the avatar on-screen.

The traits available are the following:

• Tilesets: 8 unique tilesets
• Avatars: 20 unique avatars
• Monsters: 50 unique monsters
• Starting Zones: 24 unique starting zones
• Starting Scrolls: 10 unique starting scrolls
• Floors: Minimum ten, maximum infinite floors

Dungeons: 3,000 unique dungeons available
Each of them is also optimized for instant load times and you can play them on their website or on OpenSea.

For example, a wizard avatar on an infinite floor lava dungeon would attain a higher rarity than a peasant avatar on a ten-floor prairie dungeon.

Similar to how play-to-earn games work, you’ll also be able to play your unique NFT dungeon, earn tokens and even rent out your dungeon for other people to play. When they earn money in your dungeon, you also get a cut of their earnings.

The dungeons are all procedurally-generated artworks that work as fully-fledged games themselves. To have a better understanding of how it works, check out these examples they have available on their website.

Talk about Metaverse compatibility in a roguelike NFT game. The dungeon is also playable on mobile, with the team recommending players turn their phones sideways to play in landscape mode. You can also access the NFT directly using the viewer URL.

Roadmap

Generative Dungeon has a strong team and a successful project that has provided those interested in learning more about this NFT project several marks on their roadmap.
As for the first quarter of 2022, Generative Dungeon has come up with Generative Avatars, a collection of generative art characters playable with Generative Dungeon. The owner can switch their avatar to be a pixelated version or an anime-themed version, essentially allowing them to own 2 NFTs in one.

The avatars are procedurally-generated characters with armor, hair, clothes, and weapons. They feature adventurer, dwarf, elf, and wizard character classes and are mintable by all Generative Dungeon holders as long as the dungeons are unlisted. They only have to pay gas fees.

In Summer 2022, they’ll be featuring a new dungeon generator with an isometric perspective, featuring playable Generative Avatars, and an expansive, procedurally generated wilderness that can help explore multiple cities and dungeons. It features new quests, magic, weapons, and inventory systems, on top of more monsters and loot. It’s compatible with Generative Dungeon, where you can play your dungeons from a whole new perspective.

The project itself has a low cost of entry, ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 ETH.
The Generative Dungeon project was kicked off by the Dungeon Master, who serves as the team’s lead artist and programmer (@gendungeon) out of a wish to create an interactive, instantly loading NFT collection that could be directly played on OpenSea like none have seen.
