The Gotchiverse Game Bible was a public-facing game design document published by Pixelcraft to describe intended Gotchiverse gameplay, economy, and building systems.

TL;DR

  • 2022-01-14: Pixelcraft announced the Gotchiverse Game Bible as an external-facing game design document hosted on GitHub.
  • The blog post described a chapter-by-chapter release process, with community discussion on the DAO forum and DAO confirmation via CoreProp.
  • The post included a time-bound release schedule for early Gotchiverse milestones (useful historically, but superseded).

Key facts (from the 2022-01-14 announcement)

What the document was

  • The Game Bible was described as an external-facing game design document intended to complement the Gotchiverse Litepaper by filling in implementation/gameplay details.
  • The post described two categories of information:
    • Confirmed and immutable — intended to not change except via DAO vote.
    • Confirmed, but not immutable — intended to be generally confirmed, but subject to change if underlying assumptions changed (with changes published on official channels).

How a chapter became canon (as described at the time)

For each chapter:

  1. Pixelcraft would publish the chapter.
  2. A DAO forum thread would be created for discussion.
  3. After ~1 week of discussion (if no major issues were raised), Pixelcraft would create a CoreProp for AavegotchiDAO to vote to confirm the chapter’s contents.

Historical: Chapter 1 release schedule (superseded)

The announcement included a "confirmed, but not immutable" schedule for the early Gotchiverse rollout. This schedule is included here for historical reference only (it was inherently time-bound and may not match what ultimately shipped).

  • Stress Test 2 — 2022-01-28
  • Stress Test 3 — mid-February 2022
  • Gotchiverse Land Auction / Raffle 3 — late February 2022 (described as featuring 10,000 parcels)
  • Citaadel Live Test — early/mid March 2022 (described as having real Alchemica pickups and "Save Points" for exiting Alchemica on-chain; no parcel/installation equipping in that release)
  • Gotchi Lending — March 2022
  • The Gotchiverse (Full Citaadel) — late March / early April 2022
  • Traits Release — April 2022
  • Grid Release 1 — early Q3 2022
