DragonMaster x Japan Gaming Guild
Participants:
- Rondie, DragonMaster
- MOLYA, Japan Gaming Guild
Would you introduce yourself and your team?
Hi I’m Rondie glad to be here in an amazing community, I’m the Marketing Head of DragonMaster game.First of all we are a distributed-office team. Most of our developers and our marketing staff work online due to geographical issues. In order to ensure the normal operation of our project, we are currently communicating online.
Most of us have experience with traditional games, but currently we can’t disclose our team information for some reasons. But what I want to claim is that this will not affect the operation of the project, because we also noticed that some anonymous teams can run their projects well. There are quite a few people on our team worth mentioning, and what we can tell is that our founder is a multi-year game developer, serial entrepreneur, and an avid crypto enthusiast.
Would you explain us about DragonMaster？Also, there are many P2E projects, what do you think makes DragonMaster superior to other similar projects?
- DragonMaster is the first blockchain-based Metaverse game that blends RTS, MOBA, Collection, and Play-to-Earn gameplay. Players can collect, capture, complete missions, and lead into battles with other players.
- Players can freely develop their own home towns, defend against enemies through appropriate deployment, empower themselves through battles and resources plundering, and group engagements.
- There are 4 sizes of dragons, S / M / L / XL. The bigger the size, the heavier the weight, the weaker the attacking power. Players will have their chance to get their dragons in genesis dragon egg drop or futures breeds.
Would you please tell us more about the gameplay? How Dragon NFT’s attribute causes battle?
The dragons will compete on the battlefield of 5 tracks,where both players can choose the tracks to send out the dragons based on their strategies. When in battle, the larger weight dragons can push the lighter ones to the end of the track and cause damage to the pushed player’s HP . When one player’s HP hits zero, the winner will be announced.
It’s absolutely packed with battles, trade-offs, and other battle tactics.
It’s unique game concept that players set Dragons into 5 lines so that Dragons make inroads, first time ever for me. Is this idea original or refered certain other games?
Yes, this is our original gameplay, vision for the game and the metaverse from our amazingly creative product team haha.
What is the breeding mechanism?
Each dragon has 5 breeding opportunities, and the TOTEM cost of each breeding is different, as shown in the figure below. The cost also increases with each breeding opportunity consumed.
The form below shows the total cost of TOTEM and DMT for two successfully paired dragons. For example, Dragon A (0/5) and Dragon B (1/5), the total cost of TOTEM is 1060, and the total cost of DMT is 150.
Would you tell us more about the DragonMaster token utility?
a. TOTEM
- Totems are ingame rewards by doing daily quests, winning in a battle through PVP.
b. DMT
- DMT can be acquired through farming in a sacred altar, which only TOTEM Holders can get access to.
- The sacred altar generates DMT every 2 hours, and this portion will be allocated according to the ratio of the number of TOTEM held by each player to the total number of TOTEM held by all active players. The more TOTEM a player holds, the more DMT he/she will get.
- When a player’s sacred altar has been neglected for more than 48 hours without collecting DMT, the system will automatically mark that player as inactive, and he/she will be removed from the allocation list. When that player reclaims its DMT, the system will recognize him/her as an active player and re-assign him/her to the allocation list.
Additional Notes
- The daily output DMT from the sacred altar will come from the Play-to-Earn Funds.
- The daily output amount may be adjusted based on a variety of economic factors.
How can we generate revenue?
In order for you to generate revenue, if you are a self investor. You have to participate in arena and win the battles for you to get rewards such as $Totem and $DMT (through sacred altar).
Then if you are a big investor, you have to provide scholarships to the people looking for it. All you have to do is set a dragon for them and set a percentage split on how much is your scholar’s earning for playing the game for you.
As far as I studied, there is no fee to play Arena and Quests (except TOTEM/DMT Matches), and also there will be rewards of tournament , what strategies do you have for users to play and earn in DragonMaster for long time? Btw Axie Infinity quit distribution of PvE and DailyQuests consideriing game economics.
We understand what you said. In fact, because TOTEM are needed for restoring dragons durability, our initial plan is to open daily tasks to help players repair their durability. Of course, we will also dynamically adjust the rules according to changes in the economic system.
In addition, we are planning to open new gameplay. Players can participate in special competitions by spending TOTEM. In this way they can unlock all dragons in battles. There will be no TOTEM or DMT rewards in these battles, but players can get rewards when get a high ranking in the competition.
I found Tribes:Alliance Organization. Would you explain about it? Is there any advantage for guild like us?
You are very careful! Tribe: Alliance Organization In our original plan, it is a territory similar to that of multiple alliances competing with each other. Maybe in the future, you will not fight alone, and you will participate in competition tasks with your allies at the same time.
Maybe a certain mission will have multiple people in charge of multiple tracks. You have to get the final victory to win rewards or points. I think this is a game that tests the tacit understanding and coordination ability of the alliance or guild. Finally, we will issue rewards based on the final tribal organization ranking.
Does NFTs Rental Market work as like Scholarship? How does it work and when will it launch?
Yes it works like a scholarship where scholars and managers’ split will be automatically calculated by the system depending on how much is set by the managers, the same like pegaxy. NFTs Rental Market will be launch soon and please keep an eye in our announcement.
Question about marketing strategy.
We believe that acquiring initial users and following newcomers are so important for GameFi. How do you plan to acquire users?
Also, are there any important / prioritized markets/countries? It would be great if you could comment on the Japanese market as well.
First of all, we attach great importance to the Japanese market. We believe that Japanese users have a great advantage in games, because there are well-known game companies in Japan. I think playing games should be as simple as eating for Japanese players. In fact, Japan is our target area now.
Regarding acquiring new players, we think lowering the bar would be a good method because current blockchain games always have a high threshold for ordinary gamers. In our next phase of the plan, we will open up personal rental market, and try to embed this feature in the game app so that a new player can play DragonMaster when download the app, no need to spend money or create a web3 wallet. What they need next just to borrow a team in the personal rental market before battle. We think it’s helpful to get more new players. Of course, we will also do some airdrops for the guilds or institutions that cooperate with us. If you have any well-known crypto game influencers or marketing agencies in Japan, please recommend some. We are willing to cooperate with them.
Would you tell us about the companies, celebrities, and guilds that invest in DragonMaster?
Our current investment institution is Damo Labs, and we also received funding from Polygon Studio. Cooperative guilds can view this picture.(Guild Channel in Discord Guild List / Official website)
What do you think about Japan? like impression, what you like, etc
First of all, Japan is my dream country. I love Japan even though I haven’t stepped foot in Japan yet, lol. Also for me Japan is the country that is very consistent when it comes to manners. The food looks good and presentable which I’m sure also tastes good. (I want to eat Ramen, “Freshly Made”)
Also what attracts me the most is their intelligence on creating Anime. The broad imagination of the Japanese are amazing and powerful. They bring people about Japanese culture and beliefs not just in movies but also in anime.
I also love the modernization of the country, especially how high tech their stores and other establishments are. That’s all.
Do you have any news or updates about DragonMaster that you would like to share with us?
Yes, I would like to share our main plan for the next phase. Actually I mentioned it in the previous questions. First of all, our development progress is normal at present. There are basically no serious problems or bugs since we went online. At present, our main plan for the next stage will focus on the burning mechanisms of TOTEM, specifically:
The first will be TOTEM /DMT arena!
There will be TOTEM and DMT arenas opening soon! Players need to pay first to compete, the winner will get the TOTEM and mDMT from the loser, and DragonMaster will collect part of the fee from it for burning.
The second will be the Practice Room
The game will open the practice room for all players, you need to use the entrance ticket to enter the practice room, which costs TOTEM to purchase. Players do not need to consume energy in the practice room, and victory will not be rewarded with TOTEM.
Third, there will be lots of new NFTs! Like material NFT, gem NFT, skin NFT…
In the future, the breeding process will support the addition of a variety of material NFT, which can shorten the hatching time, and improve the probability of quality, the probability of body type and the probability of inheriting from parents. Gem NFT will be used to strengthen or synthesize mutations and other roles. Skin NFT will be used for limited dragons.
How to get these NFTs?
DragonMaster will open a ‘Treasure Challenge’, which is a mini ladder list, players must guarantee consecutive victories to get to the top. Once you lose a game, this will start again at the beginning. Each time you start, you need to burn TOTEM, which is risky, but also comes with the rare value of the treasure!
After getting the treasure, which is a voucher of the game, you need to go to the official website to Claim and get the real tradable NFT blind box, which will randomly give kinds of NFT and properties.

What is the minimum team or set-up to start playing?
The minimum team or set-up required to start playing right now is around $300 (good team). If you want to make sure you want to boost your win and have better stats dragon you can also invest for higher rarity dragons😊
What’s the PTE model for DragonMasters? What intrigued you to think of this model?
Wow bold question!
You could pretty much tell from the picture down below.
Play-to-Earn, as in which players can make actual money based on how much time and effort they put into a game. It’s also part of broader trends — the changing relationship between players and platforms, new incentives for participants in blockchain-based networks.
Play to Earn is an important aspect of the Dragon Metaverse, we want the players to get a share of the revenue, and we want it to be sustainable.
