WonderMine is a mining and crafting game located in Decentraland where players mine meteors and craft NFTs. It’s created by Radix, Chestnutbruze (a.k.a Sevalla) and Lew.
Development
On August 17, 2017, Radix, a member who contributed with ideas to the early development of Decentraland, posted on GitHub a proposal to create a district that consisted of an Amusement Park with Carnival Games. After a first failed vote in Agora (the system used back in the days to submit district proposals), Radix would win the district proposal in August 24th, 2018.
Radix would later develop multiple games (with Chestnutbruze) for Decentraland. In fact, some of those games would win game jams organized by Decentraland and would be added to the Amusement Park:
- Koko Jones (third place in the game-jam of 2019)
- After the Flood: Two Towers (first place in the creator contest of 2019)
- Mystery Castle (first place in the hackathon of 2019)
- Dragon Rush
After adding the games to the Amusement Park, Radix realized that in order for people to come back, he would need to make a game with a progression system and an economy. In 2020, Radix and Chestnutbruze started the development of Wondermine and the district got renamed ‘Wonderzone Amusement Park’. That same year, Lou joined the team.
On June 3 2020, the game was released for the beta test, reaching an approx. amount of 100 players. On August 2020, the team released a leaderboard system and a ‘Crafting Machine’ which allowed players to craft WonderZone NFTs. At that same time, a roadmap was released.
WonderMine was also one of the first projects to release wearables on Layer 1. On 17th October 2020 (at the Decentraland Fashion Show 2.0), the collections Legendary Steampunk and the Mythic Wonderbot were released.
How to play WonderMine
On Wondermine, meteors fall from the sky on a random times basis. Once the player sees a meteor on the ground, they will have to run to it and then click it to mine it for gems and metals using a pickaxe.
Each player starts on Wondermine with a stone pickaxe that can later be upgraded over time as the player’s game level increases. By using the collected resources from the meteors, players can mint/craft NFTs, including pickaxes using the in-game crafting machine.
In addition to this, the game has an in-game currency represented by a coin on the right side of the screen. Those coins are needed to mine meteors and each one consumes five of them.
WonderMine’s Coins can be gained every 24 hours if the player logs into the game. This means that if a player is unable to log in for three days, he will receive 100 coins and not 300 since coins do not accumulate. It’s also possible to purchase coins by paying MANA.
