WanderForest

## Introduction Wanderforest is a cozy, pixel-art Web3 town-building game set at the edge of a vast and untamed wild forest. Players grow their own settlement through five distinct Ages — from a humble hamlet all the way to a breathtaking City of Glass — by managing residents, working the land, running craft workshops, and venturing into the wilderness for valuable resources. Every town is alive with animated townsfolk, wandering animals, and the rhythmic churn of daily life. ## Gameplay Wanderforest centers on an interlocking loop of building, resource gathering, and market trading: - **Town Building:** Construct and upgrade residential houses, civic buildings (the Inn, Bakery, Tailor, Florist, Town Hall, Fountain, Well), and infrastructure across five Ages. Each Age unlocks new structures, larger plots, and richer aesthetics — from cobblestone lanes to gleaming glass spires. - **Fields & Farming:** Tend crop beds growing wheat, carrots, pumpkins, and berries in step with the in-game seasons. Harvested produce feeds the town and supplies workshops that craft higher-tier goods. - **The Wild Forest — Treks:** The forest at the edge of town is the source of advanced materials. Players send out treks using Energy (free, daily limit) or Keys (premium, unlimited) to gather resources: - **Free treks** yield basic materials: wood, stone, and daily treasure caches. - **Key treks** unlock advanced materials — iron, glass, and steel — required for Age 3+ buildings, plus gems and entry into prize pool draws. - **Player Market:** Gathered materials cannot be sold back to the game. Instead, they are traded freely between players on the open market, creating a genuine player-driven economy where supply and demand fluctuate with progression. - **Age Progression:** The town grows through five named Ages, each shown in the live diorama on the homepage. The current showcase highlights Age 2 (The Town) through to the legendary fifth Age. ## Key Features - **Five Ages of Town:** A deep progression arc from village to City of Glass, with visually distinct buildings, decorations, and townsfolk for each era. - **The "333" Core Plot Collection:** A permanently capped NFT collection of exactly 333 pieces, each representing a plot at the heart of the Wanderforest town. Plot holders receive: - Guaranteed mint spots for all future ecosystem collections. - A share of team allocations from staked Key rewards. - 2% of tokens from future ecosystem project launches, distributed over time. - Competitive in-game advantages tied to their central plot location. - **Key-Based Trek System:** Keys are the gateway to advanced resources and prize pools, creating a premium layer on top of the free Energy trek system. - **Living Town Diorama:** The homepage features a fully animated isometric town scene — walkable townsfolk (baker, farmer, porter, guard, child, woman), wandering animals (hens, dog, cat), moving vehicles (donkey, ox-cart), seasonal crops, chimney smoke, glinting fountains, and day/night ambience. - **Multilingual Support:** Wanderforest supports English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, French, and German — targeting a global player base from launch. ## Blockchain Integration Wanderforest integrates Web3 mechanics through its NFT plot system and resource economy: - **NFT Plots (The 333):** Core plots are on-chain NFTs with a hard contract cap of 333. Minted via a mix of GTD (guaranteed, event-based) and FCFS allocations. - **Key Staking & Rewards:** Keys used for Wild Forest treks participate in a staking rewards pool, with a portion distributed to 333 plot holders. - **Token Economy:** Future ecosystem projects launch tokens, of which 2% is allocated to 333 holders over a vesting period. - **Waitlist:** The Season 1 waitlist is open at wanderforest.com/waitlist.html, gatekeeping early access to the full game before public launch. ## Getting Started Wanderforest is currently in its **waitlist / Development** phase.
