What Comes Next

This whitepaper is being published (12th June 2026) shortly before the release of the Asphodel Prologue, our first World on mainnet. More details on Prologue's gameplay and specific economics will be added to this Gitbook as a new section before the launch.

We have not included a roadmap with this whitepaper because we believe development roadmaps for a crypto project are usually either dishonest or a waste of time. In practice, our focus for the next year is on releasing and upgrading the Prologue while we continue to expand Kamigotchi World in parallel. We work hard and ship regularly, and have done so for several years now; we will continue to do so.

You can expect to see a 'Dungeon Mode' added to Prologue after release, as well as new systems in Kamigotchi to extend the game's lifespan. You can also expect to see the Kamigotchi in Asphodel, and perhaps the Taruchi in Kamigotchi. You will also see in-game factions and the development of organized faction PVP that stretches across both games. You will see player guilds. With that said, we don't know in what order these features will be added - we don't plan development more than 2-3 months ahead of time.

We also think it's more fun for you this way.

Our ultimate goal is to release the main Asphodel world as the first true example of a fully decentralized MMORPG. We have now been dedicated to this goal for the last 4 years; it will probably take at least 4 more.
