Notes from the show

Genopets is a mobile game that promotes an active and healthy lifestyle by incentivizing physical activity. The gameplay involves summoning a pet and earning energy by tracking steps, which can be used to level up the pet. The game is evolving with the introduction of the Age of Discovery, where players can claim sectors of the real world by taking photos, which are then converted into the Genoverse world. Each sector has its own lore and story, and players can compete to claim and monetize sectors. The game also incorporates play-to-earn mechanics, with energy leaderboard competitions and rewards in the form of governance tokens.

Genopets aims to be viewed as just any gaming app on the app store, offering in-game currency and a shop to buy items. The game follows Apple and Google's policies, ensuring that players can access the same experiences and items across platforms. The mobile app allows players to purchase items on-chain or through in-app purchases. The crafting system in Genopets uses semi-fungible tokens (SFTs) and a randomized process. The game also features seasonal items and a focus on decision-making and fast iteration in the development process.
