PlanetQuest overview

DeLa continues to find the most high-quality and promising P2E projects. Our new find is PlanetQuest. That is a large-scale development with an open world and procedurally generated locations. PlanetQuest combines various game mechanics and genres and can attract thousands of players with different investment opportunities. Let's look at it closer.

About PlanetQuest

PlanetQuest is a P2E project on the Ethereum blockchain that allows players to own, develop, and improve planets to increase their worth. Also, players can just explore new worlds to get equipment, artifacts, and valuable resources.

After launching the game, users can begin the journey as an explorer that discovers unknown planets for Quantum and rare artifacts. Every Explorer must have a homeworld to start the game, but the developers promise that there will be common planets that will house new players for free.

PlanetQuest is a free-to-play game, and players can start without investments.

Activities

Quests: Players will find the planets and explore them to find Quantum. By exploring, players can earn Quantum ($PQX), find items, and then use it to create new equipment/artifacts for sale. Also, they must team up with other faction members to protect their resources and finds.

Planets: Planets and their management it the core of PlanetQuest. Each planet has its characteristics and rarity, which gives individuality and unique value. Some features are defined by the planet class, such as flora (from deserts to alien jungles) and fauna (from generally friendly and playful Qyllits to massive Reapers). Others, such as nebulas, only affect the world's external design.

Guilds: Each faction has its kind of guilds, like Houses (Empire), Corporations (Federation), and Coalitions (Union), and each Guild unites many planets under its flag. Planet owners can participate in the Guild and get additional profit.

Technical developments

To ensure that each game world is truly unique and Ethereum network does not affect the speed and use of the game, the PlanetQuest team uses a:

The Genesis Engine - unique PlanetQuest's technology that allows procedurally generating and rendering entire planets. Players can download and render planets in real-time via a web browser. That will enable users to own NFT of stunningly beautiful 3D worlds.

Immutable X - with the Immutable X, PlanetQuest will be able to provide players with a quality experience of the blockchain interaction. Even players without a crypto-wallet can start playing and make in-game purchasing immediately. In addition, this L2 solution reduces transaction fees to almost zero.

In-game tokenomics

The tokenomics of PlanetQuest is based on two types of tokens:

$PQX (Quantum) - is a utilitarian ERC-20 token. Players need $PQX to make in-game purchases, activate artifact activation, repair equipment, improve the planet, etc. $PQX is a versatile and tradable in-game currency.

NFT - Players' equipment, artifacts, planets, and even guilds will be available as NFT. There will likely be a native NFT marketplace to trade and earn more $PQX.

PlanetQuest has a hierarchical tokenomics model that is based on starter investment. The more players ready to pay - the higher step of this pyramid they can occupy:

Team and partners

There is Tier-1 Alameda Research on the investor list, but the project's key partner is Immutable X with its Ethereum NFT scaling technology. A complete partner list is available on the site:

What about the project's team? You can find all developers in the PlanetQuest Medium:

There is a whole article for each team member (11 articles in total). We just say that it's a qualified and versatile team experienced in creating AAA game projects, games LOR, writing novels, and even astrophysics learning.

PlanetQuest pros and cons

Active social pages - Twitter with 24.7K Followers and Discord on 239K participants looks really good, especially since the Ambassador program has just begun.

Strong developers - make sure of this by reading the bio of all team members. The project brings together a traditional "game-developers" team and writers and creators, which indicates the original and elaborate universe.

Сompliance with the roadmap - if we see a release in early 2023, it will be one of the earliest AAA P2E projects, with all the following benefits.

Exciting gameplay and ideas - the technology of procedural generation of planets and their gameplay value highlight PlanetQuest among competitors. Planets here mean more than just "lands". It's uniques and exciting worlds.

The $PQX utility - many use-cases and the necessity to spend a token in the game heigh a chance that players will not just sell the earned $PQX.

There is still no gameplay demo - the demonstration of the planets' surfaces is planned only for Q3. Now we see only examples of procedurally generated planets and inspirational arts.

Ownership engagement - planet and guild owners will be able to earn $PQX even with low gaming activity. We need more information about the gameplay to understand how the owners will be involved in the gameplay.

Our conclusion

It looks large, impressive, and promising. The PlanetQuest team creates a vast universe, which is not limited to a game and can attract gamers, Sci-Fi, and space sagas fans. PlanetQuest will turn into a cult universe not limited to the game project if developers reach all their goals. In addition, if the team runs PlanetQuest according to the roadmap, it will be one of the first Space AAA games on the blockchain. That will allow PlanetQuest to become the leader in its niche.
