Dogamers, welcome to the 12th Community Update! ⬇️

DOGAMÍ ACADEMY PLAYTEST — A RESOUNDING SUCCESS🔥

Game news update! After many months of hard work from our game team, we rolled out a pre-alpha version of DOGAMÍ Academy for 40 playtesters (the chosen few were named here)!

After an onboarding session with our CBO and co-founder Kris, the playtesters from the four corners of the world were invited to take part in a 24-hour playtest to train and race in different PvE and PvP events, use consumables from the shop to get advantages, and level-up their Dogamí collecting different “powers” along the way!

The results? We’ll let you read them for yourselves:

Imagine getting a score of 8.49/10 on a mere playtest. Bullish on the full release!

If we look at the breakdown, there were 7,238 PvE races 🌍 and 3,320 PvP races ⚔️.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

1. Overall Rating: An impressive score that emphasizes its potential. The feedback of our community is not simply words, but our roadmap. And we’re dedicated to pushing the overall score even higher for the official release!

2. Races Completed: In only 24 hours, 40 players completed a staggering 10,440 races. Broken down, that’s 7,238 PvE races, and 3,202 PvP races. Imagine the race numbers when we fully launch! 🕹

3. Engagement Time: The playtest ran for merely 24 hours, yet players were engaged for an average of 1h40. Many even played while working!

4. Purchased Items: Our dedicated 40 playtesters bought 701 items, highlighting the vast economic potential within our game loop.

🗣️ Feedback:

The game’s addictiveness was praised. DOGAMÍ Academy is crafted to captivate, whether players engage for minutes or hours.
Many compared DOGAMÍ Academy to their favorite games, illustrating where gaming classics converge and evolve.
The fun factor was repeatedly underscored. Satisfaction in both gameplay and competition indicates we’re on a successful trajectory.

But that’s not all… Let’s hear it from horses (dog’s) mouth:

“It’s an addictive game, which can be played at any time for a few minutes to a few hours.”
-[FRÍΔND] Electro
“Dogamí is a mix between a runner and an idle + a little feeling of Pokemon where I have my own team that i can see level up.”
’💎 BT0VƏN’ | Active SuperPoodle
“It’s a great game. It’s the first time I’ve played this type of game and it’s really fun. To compete with other playtesters was awesome.”
- @NeQz

We’d like to thank all 40 playtesters again for their time and feedback. 💜

TECH MAESTRO JOINS THE DOGAMÍ RANKS 🫡

The world of crypto and Web3 is an exciting and constantly changing space. We’re delighted to onboard Arthur Guerin, our newly appointed CTO who’ll take the helm to navigate the technological waters and lead us to new horizons of feature-rich possibilities.

Arthur built and led the Blockchain tech team at Voodoo and he’s also an Alumnus of 42born2code.

We’re looking forward to rolling out new features with him and one larger major change coming soon. 👀

TOP-SELLING DOGAMÍ BREED OF ALL TIME REVEALED 🥇

From time to time we like to test the knowledge of the community. In a recent poll, we asked the Dogamers which breed they thought claimed the title of top-selling Dogamí breed of all time.

And the winner was, the Toy Poodle. This came as quite a surprise to the community who believed the winner to be the Shiba Inu. Here’s the breakdown of the votes:

Italian Greyhound 13.7%
Shiba Inu 57.6%
Toy Poodle 10.8%
Labrador 18%

Keep an eye out on our Twitter feed for some more polls!

CLAIM YOUR NEW WHALE ROLE ON DISCORD 🐋

Who doesn’t like collecting new roles? In the past, they have been known to unlock certain benefits.

Having spoken with the DOGA Council (you guys are just the best), we decided to implement some new roles for BIG Dogamí holders.

Alongside the classic Whale role (to get this you need at least 7 Dogamí), we’ve added the following:

15+ Dogamí — Beluga
25+ Dogamí — Humpback
50+ Dogamí — Moby Dick

If you qualify and haven’t received your role yet, go to the ✅│holder-verify channel on Discord and claim your role(s).

Perhaps you’re 1 Dogamí short? If that’s the case, head over to the Marketplace to adopt another! More roles will be rolled out shortly so watch this space!

ADOPTION ALERTS ACTIVATED 🔛

Shoutout to Gunik from the OMGOD guild for creating a sales and adoption bot for our Discord. Each time a Dogamí is up for adoption or adopted (either on OBJKT or on our proprietary marketplace), Dogamers are alerted on the ⁠🐶│adoption-center channel.

If you’re looking to adopt or just want to follow live market updates, this channel is super useful and whilst you’re waiting, you can kick back and chill to some smooth DOGA lofi sounds by joining our ⁠📻│doga-lofi channel. 🎶
