Dalarnia Nexus

Dalarnia Nexus is a Web3 “pocket MMO experience” where people get together, build their homes and venture out to go on adventures.

Build Mode

We built a fully featured grid-aligned building system where players can construct their houses by placing their own walls, windows and doorways. They can then decorate their houses with a wide array of furniture pieces they can interact with. Players can hold parties and host a networked multiplayer session at their house and invite other people over.

RPG system

Dalarnia Nexus also included an RPG system and an extraction mode where players go out on an adventure, gather loot, level their characters and try to extract in time to keep their loot. We also built a crafting system which allows players to use basic ingredients to craft new weapons or furniture pieces for their houses.

Infrastructure

We also built the infrastructure for dedicated servers for a "pocket MMO" experience. Players could join a hub area where they can meet other players and chat and then venture out from there. The whole system was first built in a peer-to-peer architecture but was later converted to be server-authoritative so the server could check and validate player's actions to make sure they weren't cheating.

Metaverse

The game was intended to be a “metaverse” experience, where everything from the other games in the network would come together. To make this possible, we added NFT integration to the game. Players could connect their blockchain wallet to the game, allowing them to customize their equipment with the NFTs they owned from other games and create in-game items by burning certain NFTs they had collected in the other games.
