ENTERTAINMENT 3.0
DOGAMÍ was founded in 2021 as a company focused on creating experiences based on NFTs. The company quickly became the leading collection on TEZOS and one of the top 10 biggest NFT gaming projects in the world.
Thanks to this we were able to close a seed extension in November of 2022 bringing us to a total round of $14m to accomplish our ambitious goals.
From day one we’ve had a 3-year, 5-year and 10-year plan, this is part of our strategy to build a scalable and sustainable brand. We are happy to share this with you today. We are now expanding into a cross-media brand like Pokemon. Our NFTs will be interoperable providing companionship across your metaverse adventures.
DOGAMÍ ECOSYSTEM
Our franchise ecosystem is governed by two enablers that sit at the core of the DOGAMÍ brand: the $DOGA token and your Dogamí NFT, the latter acting as a key to all your brand extensions and experiences and the token as your currency.
Here are our verticals of expansion:
- Comic books will be our 1st release as part of our publishing vertical 🦸🏼
- Interoperability will be launched with the DOGAMÍ: Portals 🌌
- Toys & Collectibles 🧸
- Fashion 👕
- Partnerships as part of the DOGAMÍ X partnership initiative that kicked off last year 🤝
- Music is so embedded into popular culture that we had to develop this vertical 🎶
- Last but not least TV & Film 🎬
We will give more details on some of these extensions and applications in this very Doganote so make sure you read until the end.
THE DOGAMI MYTHOLOGY
In 2023, Dogamers and new audiences alike will discover the backstory and universe of DOGAMÍ through multiple and interconnected experiences and media. Placing storytelling at the core of the DOGAMÍ brand extensions and maintaining and enforcing coherence and authenticity.
This includes:
- DOGAMÍ: Companions of Earth (our first comic book) where you will witness the mythology and world of the Dogamí.
- Exploring the metaverse with your true virtual companion through the DOGAMÍ: Portals initiative, where you will be able to discover easter eggs and messages in and across the metaverse.
- DOGAMÍ: Academy the game will be your opportunity to jump in the driving seat of your interactive storytelling experience, and connect with unique characters in unique environments.
Let’s deep dive together into these three activations that are launching in 2023…. 🤿
DOGAMÍ: COMPANIONS OF EARTH (COMIC BOOKS)
We will be releasing the first issue of DOGAMÍ: Companions of Earth in Q2 2023. This is the first comic book of a five-issue run to be published with Valiant Comics. We have signed a partnership with Valiant that was founded by Marvel comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter in 1989, as we see Valiant as the perfect partner to develop a strong narrative, incredible artwork, and the knowledge of building strong IPs. Valiant is one of the top 5 comic book publishers in the world.
The comic book series will reveal the awakening of the DOGAMÍ on earth. Audiences will witness new characters, environments, and their individual storylines. That’s not all, Dogamers will also have the chance to feature their own Dogamí NFT in the story. More about that and how it will happen very soon. Let’s talk a bit about the creative team behind the first issues, yes… Issues! 😏
- Todd Dezago started working as a comic book writer in the 90s, and made a name for himself by working on “The Sensational Spiderman” over at Marvel Comics and later as co-creator of Young Titans for DC Comics. He has worked on the biggest IPs of both Marvel and DC Comics and our backstory is in safe hands with him.
- Wil Quintana is a highly regarded and sought-after colorist in the comic industry. With over three decades of experience, Wil has made a name for himself with his exceptional work, which includes Marvel’s top-selling series, “Civil War,” and DC Comics’ “Justice League Of America.” He is truly a master of his craft, and it is an honor to have him on our team of creatives.
- Scot Eaton is a truly incredible penciler in the comic book industry. He is best known for his work on popular series such as “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” “Thor,” “X-Men: Endangered Species,” and “X-Men: Messiah Complex.” It is a privilege to have him on the team with us and to be a part of his incredible contributions to the comic book world.
Scheduled: Q2 2023 🗓
DOGAMÍ: PORTALS (INTEROPERABILITY)
Targeted for April-May, the DOGAMÍ: Portals initiative aims to create interoperability with leading metaverse platforms.
We have partnered with Studio Nabiya and The Sandbox to create a land where you can take your true virtual companion with you on your metaverse adventures. This experience will be released in The Sandbox Alpha Season 4 Pass.
To accomplish this we have partnered with Studio Nabiya who created the land for some of the famous web3 projects including World Of Women, their most successful land created in The Sandbox scored the highest foot traffic ever (470 K unique visitors) in the last season and got the best evaluation from visitors.
We have been working for the past 6 months together on building the DOGAMÍ >< The Sandbox land. The land will feature easter eggs and quests to further discover the backstory. Dogamí NFTs are ready-to-play assets, and created for the purpose of being your true virtual companions across different metaverses and web3 games.
The initiative kicks off in The Sandbox Alpha Season 4 Pass and will be the first of many interoperable experiences to come in other metaverses and game platforms.
Scheduled: Q2 2023 (APRIL/MAY) 🗓
DOGAMÍ: ACADEMY (GAMING)
We are currently working on a web3 mobile game called DOGAMÍ: Academy. We are building a hybrid game of intense American ninja warrior-style obstacle races with a blend of management of your Dogamí in a way that lets you build on your relationship with your true virtual pet and allows you to evolve him through your progression.
Moving into the production of this game we literally place an A3 piece of paper in the office for everyone to see with the keyword FUN. We want this game to be fun, exciting and give you the sentiment of both $DOGA and visual rewards as you progress up the leaderboards.
By gathering the feedback from our Dogamers, the community and our professional game team we focused on these core elements to develop the game:
- It needs to be coherent with the overall brand and backstory built to maintain the excitement of discovering this new world
- It needs to allow for daily events and challenges to challenge your skills
- It needs to have PVP functions so that you can see other Dogamers and challenge them to crown the very best of you all
- The game should provide mainstream gameplay and give you that feeling of plug and play, with intuitivity as the key word
- The game should feel like an original experience, visually surprising you constantly with big reveals
- And last but not least you should be able to play with 1 or a million Dogamí and do so easily and intuitively
Scheduled: Q4 2023 🗓
Some concept art in the can seen in the above image. However, to maintain the integrity of our development process, we’ll keep future production details confidential, as is typical in video game development.
This approach will enable us to manage our creative vision and prevent any misunderstandings that might result from premature exposure of our pre-production images. The DOGA Council will provide their insights, and we’ll unveil fully polished assets only when they’re ready for public showcase.
DOGAMÍ ACADEMY PRODUCTION
The road to creating something truly extraordinary is never easy, and that’s certainly been the case for our latest project, DOGAMÍ: Academy. We’ve kept things under wraps for the past few months for a very good reason — we wanted to make sure that every detail was perfect before we shared it with the world.
Developing a game is no small feat — it takes time, resources, and an unwavering commitment to getting things right. But that’s exactly what we’ve been doing.
At DOGAMÍ, we believe in learning from our mistakes and always striving to do better. That’s why we’ve been pouring our hearts and souls into DOGAMÍ: Academy, testing and retesting every aspect of the game to ensure it’s the very best it can be.
We are working with a team of 20 experts in the video game industry that we thank every day for trusting to join us on this incredible adventure. From our producers to our game designers, art director and his team of concept artists, 3d artists or even the development team with our unity developers working on the integration of all the key elements to make this truly an incredible game.
And now, we’re excited to share that progress with you.
1) GAME CONCEPT
The team here at DOGAMÍ values the research and concepts phase of game production for creating exceptional games. Our experts thoroughly research the game’s audience, genre, themes, and features to generate and evaluate ideas for concept, setting, characters, mechanics, and design. We prioritize creativity, research, collaboration, and iteration to finalize the game’s concepts and design.
Having completed this phase, we move into pre-production on our hybrid-game.
2) GAME PRE-PRODUCTION
The pre-production phase of game development is where the team takes the concepts and design established in the research and concepts phase and develops a more detailed plan for the game’s creation. This phase includes tasks such as creating detailed storyboards and scripts, establishing a production schedule, building prototypes and testing mechanics, assembling a team, and creating a budget.
The goal of pre-production is to plan and prepare for the more intensive and expensive production phase, and to ensure that the game is feasible and on track to meet its objectives.
The end result of the pre-production phase is a solid plan and a team that is ready to move forward into full production.
3) GAME PRODUCTION
The production phase of game development is where the actual creation of the game takes place. During this phase, the team works to bring the game to life using the plans and preparations made during pre-production. This can include tasks such as coding, animation, music composition, voice recording, and level design.
The production phase is often the longest and most resource-intensive phase of game development, but it is also where the majority of the game’s content is created and the player’s experience is defined.
The goal of production is to create a high-quality game that meets the creative vision and technical specifications established during pre-production. The end result of the production phase is a playable game that is ready for testing and refinement.
We can’t give away all the details just yet, but we promise it will be worth the wait.
