Crypts and Caverns

The beauty of a simple composable NFT is that it can be used in many different ways when combined with other on-chain content. Maps can be chained together to form a more persistent world, or with larger ‘world maps’ to provide structured exploration and adventure in small spaces. Maps can have encounters such as enemies, spawn points, and NPCs laid on top of the 2D grid, allowing for fully procedural game content. Crypts and Caverns aim to become the fundamental on-chain data structure needed to provide a sense of place. Whether building a 2D dungeon crawler or a dynamic virtual world, places start with a floor.

Crypts and Caverns are designed to play nicely with many other primitives. The maps are a minimal ‘lego’ that can be used to build out adventures and games. While Loot has tackled the objects and items of a game, and other projects like The Genesis Project are exploring the characters, Crypts and Caverns offer the fundamental on-chain data structure needed to provide a sense of place.
