- After a week of playtests, players engaged in an astonishing 500,000 races.

- Free-to-Play version for mainstream audiences is just around the corner, set to launch early next year.
DOGAMÍ Academy: Challenge the Best and Rise to Glory
This Game as a Service (GaaS) for dog lovers immerses gamers in strategic gameplay, where every move defines victory or defeat. To achieve excellence, players must hone management skills, conquer obstacles, unleash mystical powers (harnessing the forces of spirit animals), and master training. As players engage in epic races on the streets of Paris (more environments to come by the end of the year), they strive for leaderboard supremacy, to compete for glory and token prizes.
Level-Up and Compete in Multiplayer Events to Unlock $DOGA Rewards
In the Academy, gamers are not just simple participants; they are contenders vying for $DOGA, the coveted utility token of the DOGAMÍ ecosystem. They must race in a fiercely competitive and modular landscape that only rewards the best players who reach the top of the leaderboard in multiplayer PvP battles.
However, the rich game loop also demands that players engage in PvE races against similarly skilled bots. By doing so, players amass STAR, the in-game soft currency. This is crucial for leveling up their virtual companions, mystical power stones, and skills, as well as acquiring race-boosting consumables where milliseconds count to challenge the best in multiplayer events.
The reward token, $DOGA is already being traded on centralized and decentralized exchanges, and further listings are scheduled.
The Multi-chain Evolution: DOGAMÍ Academy on Polygon and Tezos
Players can dive into DOGAMÍ Academy’s multi-chain adventure and compete with others from both the Polygon and Tezos ecosystems. This move will enable DOGAMÍ to be rooted in two of the most promising blockchain gaming ecosystems, unlocking a myriad of network effects.
Leading the charge in DOGAMÍ’s multi-chain NFT gaming approach are 12,000 NFTs spread across these two chains, available on leading marketplaces like Opensea, OBJKT, and Rarible. Early Access to the game is exclusively available to these NFT holders.
DOGAMÍ Academy: Pioneering web3 Free-to-Play in Q1 2024
DOGAMÍ Academy charts its course toward a future filled with innovation and expansion. In a significant move, the game will become free-to-play in Q1 2024. This strategic shift will open the doors to players who do not hold NFTs, ensuring broader access to the DOGAMÍ ecosystem and marking a pivotal milestone in the game’s journey toward mass-market appeal.
Furthermore, players can expect new environments, breeding capabilities, and the eagerly anticipated “exploration mode” which fosters a new dimension of play and interactivity, making the gameplay as unique as each Dogamí.
“Our vision is to bring a little more joy, fantasy, and entertainment into the world, and DOGAMÍ Academy is the perfect vehicle for us to accomplish this. We have collaborated with the best in the pet care, film, comic book, and gaming industries to create an authentic and original gaming world with highly scalable potential for future development. This initial step marks the beginning of an exciting new franchise in the gaming industry that will resonate with pet lovers, collectors, and gamers worldwide.”
- Kristofer D. Penseyres (Co-founder & CBO)
“We are thrilled to announce the release of DOGAMÍ Academy to the wider web3 space. The enthusiastic response from our core community, including average daily play times of over 60 minutes and more than 500,000 races played, has fuelled our excitement and confidence in DOGAMI’s potential. Building on this momentum, we are eager to unlock additional growth by embracing a multi-chain strategy as it allows us to tap into the powerful network effects of both the Tezos & Polygon ecosystem.”
- Max Stöckl (Co-Founder & CEO)
“We’re incredibly proud of our team’s hard work over the past year, resulting in an AAA rating. DOGAMÍ Academy’s move to web3, embracing ‘play and earn,’ marks a significant shift from ‘play to earn.’ Next up, we’re targeting web2 with a ‘free-to-play’ game in Q1 2024. Our objective by 2025 is to reach 1 million monthly active users.”
- Adrien Magdelaine (Co-founder & COO)
“I’m glad to have been supporting Adrien, Max, Kris, and the rest of DOGAMI”s team on their journey in Web3. They have consistently been delivering upon each milestone since the inception of the game, driving forward new audiences and an active community. The game is shaping up to be very fun and engaging from the first playtests and soft launch, and I look forward to seeing it evolving and growing over time! Fun engaging games will drive forward adoption of NFTs, and DOGAMÍ is on the right track towards it.”
- Sébastien Borget (The Sandbox, COO & Co-Founder)
