VISION
As LAVA LABS, we believe that great games should preserve their essence by remaining skill-based and fun. Our vision is to create a WEB 3.0 platform that maintains these principles across multiple games. Our goal is to embrace the fundamental core values of player-centric ownership and pioneer this new space as developers, together with our talented community. We aim to create a sustainable long-term ecosystem by blending the fundamentals of WEB 3.0 with traditional gaming.
TIMELINE
The rollout of the features in this document will take place in different stages detailed in the Roadmap section. The development will be staged from simple mechanics to more complex ones.
Ecosystem Overview
The Planet
The AFAR ecosystem has multiple games that can be played independently of each other. The games will be released sequentially as the ecosystem develops further within the AFAR universe.
The Planet is in the center of the Universe, where the Mining Game takes place and the Social Hub is located. There are two types of Land that exist on The Planet are AFAR Land and Resource Land. The Mining Game is played on both types of Land. The Land is limited in supply and may be owned by groups or individuals in the near future.
The Torus is a massive spaceship where the AFAR PvP Game takes place. The Torus has the ability to host varying levels. The Torus uses the Social Hub teleport pads for its pre-game and post-game lounge.
The Marketplace is where trading and space-commerce takes place.
The Spaceship Game is a trading-based game where players use spaceships to transport resources and Eggs to become the best space-merchant.
Planet

AFAR: Mining Gameplay
GamePlay
A Mining Camp needs Land to function and mine resources. The player travels to The Planet, selecting Land where they wish to place their Mining Camp. A player's first decision is to choose a good location for their Mining Camp. To begin mining, players can place their mining buildings on their camps and start playing.
Resources can be harvested from the ground by the relevant buildings. These resources, once collected, accumulate in the appropriate Silo. Silos are a type of building used to store resources on your mining camp. Once full, Silos require upgrades, or new silos may be built.
Mining Gameplay
A player's Mining Camp may be relocated for a small fee if the player wishes to prospect on different Land. While players have a choice to relocate their Mining Camp on either AFAR Land or Resource Land, different types of properties that influence attacks and resource levels will be at play.
To defend against attacks, players will need to build and upgrade defenses. If an attack overwhelms the camp, a player will need to repair any damages to continue mining.
The Mining Game is made up of Seasons - each new Season will last a series of weeks.
EARNING XP
Players will need to upgrade and optimize their Mining Camp to increase the rate at which they can earn XP.
Ways to earn XP
- Resource collection
- Building complete + upgrade
- Level up Camp Hall
- Successful defenses of a camp
- Selling resources at the Marketplace
Silo Progression
The Mining Game is the primary acquisition loop for Eggs. Eggs are the primary delivery mechanism of Cosmetic NFTs to the players.
Eggs can be acquired in multiple ways: one of the ways is from the mining Season Pass. The player will level up to gain rewards by gaining XP through actions and achievements in the Mining Game. As gameplay progresses, other ways to obtain Eggs will be revealed.

Land NFTS
Land NFTs will be revealed in the upcoming Land Pre-Sale. Each Land NFT is unique with distinct properties. Land NFTs will be revealed one-by-one during the Pre-Sale with the blurring removed thus revealing to the owner its visual properties.
Concealed Resource Land
Resource Land
The Planet contains a finite amount of Land NFTs, that players use to participate in the AFAR: Mining Game. Gameplay is split between two primary activities: Land ownership and Mining Camp operation.
There are two types of land ownership: Resource Land, a tradable ERC-721 NFT owned by players, and AFAR Land owned by LAVA LABS. Resource Landowners decide which Mining Camp operators can mine their Land, benefiting from a share of the economic value extracted by the miners. Resource Landowners should promote their Land to Mining Camp operators to gain economic benefits from the mining activity.
Properties
Resource Land has certain properties that govern its visual look and economic utility in the Mining Game. Resource Lands’ economic properties influence available resources, and Mining Camp yields.
Base Properties
Base properties include elements such as coordinate positions. These are common across all Land. The lower these values are, the closer the Land is to the Social Hub.
Cosmetics Properties
Cosmetic properties of Land determine what a plot of Land looks like. Some properties may be rarer and sought after than others. While some combinations of properties may also be important and sought after due to rarity.
Economic Properties
Economic properties may be identified over time by players with Mining Camps on the Resource Land.
AFAR Land
AFAR Land behaves and functions like Resource Land but is operated by LAVA LABS. Allowing players to build Mining Camps and mine resources.
AFAR Land
AFAR Land is operated by LAVA LABS, granting players the freedom of choice, and access if there is too much demand. Initially, some mining activity will take place on AFAR Land.
Mining Camp
Overview
A Mining Camp needs Land to function and mine resources. A player's first decision is to choose a good location for their Mining Camp. A Mining Camp is placed on Land of the players choosing. Players can then add buildings, choosing how to layout their mining operation.
Players will also need to upgrade their Camp HQ to unlock upgrades. Resources can be reinvested back into the Mining Camp to upgrade buildings to increase their stats.
Players will also need to build up their defensive structures to repel attacks on the Mining Camp and protect their resources from being stolen. Attacks will happen every so often, and the attackers will leave ruins of buildings and empty coffers behind if the player's turrets and walls aren't upgraded. After an attack, players will need to repair any damage to continue mining.
Player actions and achievements in the Mining Camp will net XP to help players level up on the Season Pass.
A Mining Camp
Mining Camp Buildings
-
Camp HQ - Controls the level of the camp - Upgrading will unlock further progression in other buildings and camp expansions.
-
Crystal Mining Equipment - Buildings where Crystal Resource is mined and needs collecting.

Crystal
Crystal is extracted at Mining Camps. Crystal is stored in the Crystal Silos and can be sold or used in upgrading Mining Camps buildings.
Ore and Crystal
Future Resources
Other resources will be added in the future: some will be raw assets, and others will be generated through the refinement of other resources.
Season Pass
Seasons in AFAR are fixed lengths of time with new content, gameplay and limited-time events. Each Season will come with its own Season Pass. At the beginning and end of Seasons, special events will be held.
Players can earn XP by participating in special events. As players unlock levels on each Season Pass, scarce NFT items and rewards can be claimed. Players will need to claim as many rewards as possible before the Season ends.
A Season Pass
The Season Pass supports : FIAT ($/£/€) and $TOKEN classes. Any levels passed on the paid Season Pass class will be automatically unlocked with their rewards when purchasing the passes.
Rewards
Rewards from the Season Passes will consist of:
The class of Season Pass governs what types of rewards are available.
AFAR: SOCIAL HUB
The Social Hub is the heart of The Planet's ecosystem. It's the gateway to access The Planet and the link between games in the AFAR Metaverse. The Social Hub hosts all social activities and spaces where players can spend time socialising and expressing themselves with their cosmetics. The Social Hub is located centrally on The Planet, open to players with AFAR Accounts.
The Social Hub
Social Activities
The Social Hub is where players interact with one another, making new friends, chatting, trading or gifting in-game items or just showing off their cosmetics. If in need for a bit more privacy, players can retreat to their private space. A players private space can be decorated and used as a place to hangout with friends.
Rafa on the Dancefloor
Game Lounges
The Social Hub plays an important role in facilitating the AFAR: PvP Game. Players gather in the pre-game and post-game Lounge before and after each match. Players share their favorite moments of the race, earn rewards, and take to the podium with dances and expressions.

EDITIONS
Large Eggs have limited Editions and a certain number of Eggs will be part of a 1/1 custom set.
How to open Eggs
If a player wants to access the rewards within an Egg, they need to open it.
Players can open their Small Eggs instantly.
To open a Large Egg, players will need to use an incubator. Players can wait for the Egg to open once incubated or use $TOKEN to speed up the process. A limited number of incubators per player can be active at once.

Trading Posts are smaller Marketplaces, that may be operated by 3rd parties with branding opportunities.
Because Trading Posts are smaller than the Marketplace , they must rely on Spaceship operators to keep stocks and variety plentiful.
Cosmetic NFTs
Cosmetics are central to the AFAR universe and are used to decorate your heroes. Additional cosmetics will be made available as the ecosystem develops, such as the interior of their spaceships and other exciting display items such as crystals and pets.
