Dragonereum – Crypto game with dragons

Dragonereum story through the eyes of one of its founders and fierce players: Part 1/3: "I am the lord of cyber dragons and I came to tell you one story. This is the story about probably the most prominent piece of art in the history of digital art. I am going to tell you this story as is with all sweets and shits to let you choose for yourself where its worth to touch this beauty right now or sing in the swap of nft garbage. This story began on a wave of crypto kittens. On the first day of that hype, I bought a cat for 10 ETH, and sold it for 80 ETH. But something didn't let me drown in the shit of my own greed. There was something fascinating and amazing about these kittens. Something that permeates the entire fabric of the universe we see and does not allow any stone to lie in place forever. I am talking about DNA. I saw the embryo of digital life in kittens. But at the same time, the language did not dare to call the kittens alive. Judge for yourself. Does anyone know that in nature it was possible to create a creature with given properties? No, of course the crispr allows you to make inserts. But this is objectively not enough to take and print a million kittens with different desired properties. But even if this is possible, then nature is even more complex. The process of birth and evolution has serious limitations on which kittens don't give a fuck. Therefore, the idea of digital life began to live in my head. Then I thought that we might have a tool in our hands that would allow us to bring out a new form of life - digital. But I did not indulge myself in hopes that it would be easy. Therefore, I postponed this idea until better times. The best times have come very soon. I mentored one of the blockchain hackathon in Minsk and a team of guys caught my eye who wanted to make a great game, the first of its kind. A game in which the developers will not hold their players by the balls. A game in which creatures cannot be sucked out of the finger. A game in which the community will be at the center. The guys' eyes were shining. The kittens' success tugged at their hearts. And they were looking for an investor in order to start soon. We met in a cafe a week later and I explained my goal to them: I want to create a field of digital genetics. I loved the idea of blockchain gaming. I saw it’s potential. But I do belong to the class of investors who do not seek to capitalize on the banal and obvious. My journey as an investor began in 2011 with Satoshi's idea that ten to the sixth power can be done on fucking states in the dirtiest anus of the financial system. Then in 2014 I was inspired by Vitalik's idea of a metastable software environment for robots. After that, there were many daring ideas. So I was definitely not looking for something trivial. A playable prototype of digital life is cool. Darwin would have turned over in his coffin. We shook hands and in a few days there were 30 cue ball on the multisig of our team. One of the most essential conditions for the development was the requirement that we will not get involved in legal crap. We will not register companies. We won't suck dick to the banks. We will prove that it is possible to create things bypassing the weaknesses of our society. On the one hand, this added constraints to the project. But over time, it is obvious that this property of the game is invaluable. There is no trace of legal shit behind the game. Real, pure digital work. The guys were able to get cool artists. The highlight of the project was the fact that a star was engaged in game mechanics - one of the guys who laid the brick of successful gamification in the World of Tanks. Everything worked out, there were iterations. Six months later, the frame was already assembled. Contract, front, simulation, paper, art. Initially, I didn't plan to get involved in the game. Just an investment. My plan was to control some of the properties in the game, and everything else will turn out by itself. But everything had changed..."
