When the machines turned.
They turned fast.
We grabbed what we could.
But we only had seconds.
Before it was gone.

And so it began…

MIXMOB creative resistance force working on a master plan

What would we do if an A.I. suddenly deleted our culture?

That was the question we asked ourselves.
To answer it we leapt headfirst down the rabbit hole.
If we had to start again.
What would we build?
Where would we start?

We are super excited to give everyone a first proper glimpse into our progress so far. A flavour of our vision, and what’s to come.
Thank you for joining us.
✊🔥

Power to the player. Power to the game.

MIXMOB is a crypto gaming experience powered by Solana, built with play-to-earn and a creator economy at the heart of its game loop.

Our core mission is to empower a truly player-owned gaming platform that rewards creativity and style as much as skill and reflex. We believe that merging play-to-earn with user-generated content is the future of gaming and culture.

MIXMOB Creative Resistance Masks

We are the masks we wear.
For now we are all anonymous pfps to protect our identities.
This has to change.

Anonymous MIXMOB mask template

We will shortly issue 5,000 official MIXMOB resistance masks.
Each mask gives players a unique but anonymous identity in the game.
We will be accountable for our actions but can’t compromise each other. Masks will have utility in the game that will be explained in more detail at **the official teaser reveal on Thursday, 28th October.**

While we wait, here is the story so far….

As our story unfolds we will work with our MIXMOB artists to capture it for our culture index.

MIXMOB plays out in real-time.
Nobody knows what happened.
All we know is that an A.I. has suddenly deleted our culture.

Those brave and lucky enough to escape, are now gathering deep in THE SUBDOMAINS below THE SURFACE. Bringing together what little scraps of culture we managed to rescue before it was gone.

Our mission.
To start a creative resistance force.
Our culture has just been taken from us.
And it’s up to us, the MIXMOB, to rechain it.

Inspiration & Moodboards

Everything is a remix. MIXMOB draws inspiration from far and wide. But, if you asked us to pick two for starters, we would say Spiderverse meets BigHero6.

U are your avatar

MIXMOB is all about avatar fame. We want to create a direct style-chain between the game & IRL using NFT characters and collectibles that create real-world culture status, through game world performance and creativity.

It should be obvious by the way you flex.
How much clout you have in the game.

MIXMOBS

We take our name from our advanced A.I. pets. Think Tamagotchi, on steroids. They are an extension of ourselves. In order to have any chance of victory in our battle with the master A.I. that’s stolen our culture, each of us will need to train and master their unique skills.

MIXMOB are advanced A.I. pets. Think Tamagotchi, on steroids.

MIXMOBS come in 3 distinct classes:

  • 🧠 | Architect
  • 👁 | Creator
  • 💪 | Fighter

These classes also determine our players’ Factions.

All classes work together and can be cloned with each other to create new MIXMOBS.

By training them, we will keep evolving their capabilities. Gen1 MIXMOBS will be able to evolve into Gen2 MIXMOBS, etc… For example, combining 3 Gen1 MIXMOBS of different categories will create one new Gen2 MIXMOB.

How you wield them will be a reflection of who you are.

A Creative Revolution 🧠 👁 💪

We believe the next natural evolution of play-to-earn is user-generated content.

By giving players the ability to customize their avatars and MIXMOBS and selling those creations in the marketplace, we unlock the creative economy’s power to showcase their talent and fuel content.

By fuelling user-generated content, we democratize style and clout. Players now have the opportunity to flex rare items and their own creations. In addition, players’ creations can become as rare as the game’s items.

Our Game Loop

MIXMOB combines strategy card and play-to-earn mechanics. Our core game loop is divided into three elements: style, battle, and remix.

👁 | Style

MIXMOB is all about customising, creating and remixing. The game uses community mechanics and challenges to incentivize players to customise their avatars, MIXMOBS and, in the future, create their own content and games.

💪 | Battle

MIXMOB will combine individual games (Phase I) with a larger MMO with increased risk/rewards (Phase II). Our first game will be a strategy card racing game to train our MIXMOBS to become faster and more agile.

🧠 | Remix

MIXMOB’s meta-game rewards the community for contributing to the growth and success of their own NFT culture. On top of the influence game, MIXMOB will also include gacha driven item upgrades and incremental prize increase speed-ups that reset every 24hr. Stay tuned for our lite paper with more in-depth game mechanics.

We’ve already started exploring early game and UI concept art.

And finally, the team

MIXMOB is built by a team of video game and crypto vets. We have worked on global games like FIFA, HALO, PokerStars and with companies like EA, Valve, Disney, XBox, and others. We are experienced in social, web, mobile, console, and VR/AR games.

What’s next?

We have lots of exciting stuff coming over the next 10 days:
- Wednesday, Oct 27, we introduce the team members
- Thursday, Oct 28, we drop our first official mask teaser
- Next week there will be a Discord live-event to meet the team
- Pre-sale channel announced
- We have a Solana Breakpoint announcement
- New full site and main roadmap blog post announcement
- Then we head to Solana Breakpoint!

So stay tuned!
