Here is a sneak peek of the HYPER MMO game concept document I am working on (it is easy going as I have the time to write it now that the core infrastructure of HYPER as a currency has been established, and the whole thing is spread out in various notes, and in my head!):

HYPER MMO OFFICIAL GAME CONCEPT DOCUMENT – FIRST BUILD

TITLE: TBD

A browser based 4X MMO space strategy game for Windows, Mac and Linux

HYPER Cryptocurrency MMO Project

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

HYPER is a space based 4X MMO space strategy game where players get paid the emerging cryptocurrency HYPER, through managing, growing and expanding their own intergalactic empire from humble beginnings.

Classic 4X games (such as Master of Orion, Sins of a Solar Empire, Endless Space) are big picture space strategy games with a focus on world building, technology research, expansion, diplomacy, resource management, economic management and more. Typically, as is the case with the HYPER MMO, players can choose from a number of Alien Races to play, each with different strengths and weaknesses which has a direct impact on the playing experience and the growth of their empire.

MMOs are Massively Multiplayer Online games which feature a persistent gameworld where thousands of players from anywhere on Earth interact, trade, work together, form agreements, break such agreements, earn virtual commodities, buy and sell these virtual commodities, and more. The game world is persistent in the sense that when players log back in, the world will still be there with the thousands of other players, and the resources and achievements the player has accumulated thus far in the MMO.

Half Game and half Galactic Empire Simulation, HYPER blends both 4X and MMO game tropes into a gaming experience whereby players establish, build and grow their own empire in a universe consisting of thousands of other players interacting, trading, forming and breaking alliances with each other and more.

11. DETAILED GAME DESCRIPTION

Basic Concept:

HYPER is a game In which players grow and develop an intergalactic empire, which earns them the emerging cryptocurrency HYPER.

Background Story:

HYPER is set in the same universe as that in which we all inhabit, with one small difference. The setting is 10 000 years in the future, humanity has exploded into the cosmos, and discovered a universe where life is as abundant as the stars themselves.

In this moment of the grand arc of the human story, pre-space faring humans are referred to as pre-civilized – though conflicts and disputes do still arise between the many human and non-human worlds now sprinkled through the vastness of space.

Faster than light travel is achieved through the use of a scarce resource known as HYPER; which is only found in the bowels of certain decaying stars. HYPER is the premium resource in the Universe for which all else is traded.

Some alien races shun a monetary system altogether, but still obtain HYPER by other means: through direct harvesting, bartering or stealing.

We have two science fiction fans / authors who are further developing the background and Canon story arc of the HYPER universe.
