Preface

We originally launched HYTOPIA as a project called NFT Worlds. Through Minecraft's 3rd party developer ecosystem, we aimed to build a massive server network by introducing a blockchain layer that connected Minecraft servers, provided a cross-server game currency, and enabled player rewards and content access through digital collectibles.

When NFT Worlds was thriving, we had nearly 100,000 active players, over a million in-game transactions, over 40 of the top Minecraft development teams building content, and support from major brands & projects building on top of NFT Worlds. There was undeniable demand from both creators and players. However, Minecraft's ban on third-party blockchain technology forced us to rethink our approach.

We boldly pivoted and rebranded as HYTOPIA, setting our sights on an even more ambitious goal: creating a modern platform that rivals titans like Minecraft and Roblox, while incorporating blockchain elements for decentralized game economies and open systems governed by our community.

Our master plan is centered around the following:

Modernized Game Engine - Craft a groundbreaking, Minecraft-like game engine from scratch that is built in a more performant and modern language (Rust) that resolves competitors' long-standing limitations, modernizes gameplay, and meets the evolving demands of players and creators.

Cross Compatibility - Ensure seamless transitions for players and creators with backwards compatibility for Minecraft's network protocols, allowing play compatibility with legacy Minecraft servers while using none of their assets or code.

Free, Everywhere - Deliver an unparalleled, free-to-play, cross-platform experience on all devices, including web browsers.

Support Creators - Empower content creators by offering them flexible monetization policies, state-of-the-art tools, and a unified player ecosystem. All of which is governed and directed for decision and feature development through creator-led governance.

Leverage Competitor Shortcomings - Captivate players and content creators with enhanced quality of life offerings, long-awaited features that competitors have failed to provide, and superior content.

Let's dive into the details and motivations behind each step.

1. Modernized Game Engine

In an era of rapid technological advancement, established games like Minecraft and Roblox, built over a decade ago, can struggle to keep up with today's hardware, content creator demands, and ever-evolving gamer needs. HYTOPIA benefits from the wisdom of hindsight, learning from the successes and shortcomings of our predecessors.

Our foundation rests on robust, modern technologies like RUST and Bevy for our game engine, enabling us to develop a blazing-fast, versatile platform that runs seamlessly across all environments—PC, Mac, web browser, game console, and mobile devices.

HYTOPIA's creator-first approach results in a game engine and systems built for modularity, customization, and ease of development. Our innovative platform grants creators unparalleled control, including:

Comprehensive UI customization through straightforward HTML/CSS standards, thanks to our Tauri implementation that powers in-game UI/UX.

Unrestricted in-game assets and models, with intuitive APIs that allow for intricate model interactions, entity behaviors, and moving objects—capabilities often deemed challenging or impossible in legacy games.

Server-pushed updates and client control that let developers tailor player experiences without necessitating manual installation of third-party mods.

A hybrid networking protocol with higher tick rates, leveraging both TCP and UDP for smooth gameplay and competitive gaming environments.

And so much more.

At HYTOPIA, we stand on the shoulders of giants, poised to revolutionize the gaming landscape and usher in a new era of immersive, unparalleled experiences.

2. Cross Compatibility

Bridging the gap between the old and the new presents a formidable challenge for any newcomer in the gaming industry. For HYTOPIA, we've devised a unique hybrid approach, drawing on our experience of what worked while NFT Worlds was still built on top of Minecraft, which rapidly amassed over 100,000 active players within our first months of launch.

As HYTOPIA is a Minecraft-inspired game, we've prioritized backward play compatibility with Minecraft servers. This allows us to offer HYTOPIA's myriad of improvements—such as smoother frame rates, enhanced visual graphics, modernized user interfaces, and superior user experiences—while seamlessly introducing Minecraft players to the HYTOPIA ecosystem. The goal of this is to smoothly pull players into the HYTOPIA ecosystem without compromising their experience or access to content.

Remarkably, we've achieved this compatibility without using any of Minecraft's assets or codebase. At its core, HYTOPIA interprets the network protocol packets sent by Minecraft servers, responding in kind to facilitate backward-compatible gameplay. Players are immersed in a world composed entirely of HYTOPIA assets, models, and interfaces while playing Minecraft server experiences.

The success of custom clients like Lunar Client, despite their Java codebase limitations, attests to the efficacy of our approach. By building HYTOPIA from the ground up, without cutting any corners, we believe we are also creating the ultimate Minecraft-compatible game client. This advantage positions us to attract a significant player base, propelling HYTOPIA to the forefront of the gaming world.

We believe we can draw a significant player base into HYTOPIA through this approach. From there, players will also be introduced to our HYTOPIA world servers that offer content and gameplay of significantly more depth and capability.

3. Free, Everywhere

We are harnessing cutting-edge technologies to create a game that is not only accessible on any device and across all hardware specifications but is also entirely free to play. We envision HYTOPIA as a truly open ecosystem, devoid of a purchase requirement, where everyone around the world can come together and enjoy the game. Rest assured, creating accounts for HYTOPIA will always be free.

While playing on all HYTOPIA servers is free, it is crucial to mention that players seeking backward compatibility play with their favorite old/legacy Minecraft servers through the HYTOPIA game client must link their Microsoft/Minecraft accounts to their HYTOPIA accounts. This requirement stems from Microsoft/Minecraft's stipulation that a valid game account is necessary to play on Minecraft servers, and serves as a testament to our commitment to abide by rules while providing an unparalleled gaming experience.

4. Support Creators

Creators form the foundation of the HYTOPIA ecosystem, and their needs have taken center stage in our development roadmap. We are committed to making HYTOPIA a haven for creators, outshining competing platforms by focusing on several key areas:

We provide familiar yet incredibly powerful developer tools and APIs that enable creators to craft immersive experiences, surpassing the limitations of games like Minecraft.

HYTOPIA offers flexible monetization policies and tools, empowering creators to sell their custom cosmetics, in-game items, and more through HYTOPIA's in-game currency or fiat currency ($). Our platform features significantly reduced fees compared to others, taking a mere 5% or less cut, ensuring creators retain over 95% of their content revenue. This revenue split structure is possible thanks to a level of business model innovation we can only enable with blockchain.

Our creator-led governance approach allows creators to propose changes to HYTOPIA's features, systems, and player-creator relationships, fostering a democratic platform that benefits both players and creators.

HYTOPIA prioritizes showcasing top creator games, regularly highlighting new and emerging titles for our player base. This collaborative effort drives the HYTOPIA content ecosystem forward and helps creators gain traction for their games.

5. Leverage Competitor Shortcomings

In the world of gaming, specifically within creator communities of existing games like Minecraft and Roblox, we've identified glaring gaps that have remained unfilled for years.

For example, creators have long requested improvements, such as the ability to create moving objects, first-party support for more extensible custom game modes in the Java-based version of Minecraft, and enhanced monetization policies, yet these calls have gone unheard for nearly a decade.

At HYTOPIA, every decision we've made thus far has been informed by our years of experience and pain building in these competitor ecosystems and by the publicly and privately expressed needs of the most successful creators across these platforms.

Our unwavering commitment to placing the community, creators, and players at the forefront – listening intently to their needs and building an open game platform inspired by the familiar play-feel of the most popular game of all time, Minecraft – sets the stage for HYTOPIA to become something truly extraordinary.

HYTOPIA Worlds are digital collectibles fairly distributed to our community for free when HYTOPIA was launched. Each HYTOPIA World represents one of 10,000 total digital collectibles, of which no more will ever be created.

You can think of HYTOPIA overall as a platform of many games, with requirements that gate entry to the ability of developers to launch games on our platform by requiring them to own one of these digital collectibles.

At the most simplified level, you can think of owning a HYTOPIA World as a ticket that allows you to develop monetized and massively multiplayer games that are visible and can be played by all players on HYTOPIA. This isn't all HYTOPIA Worlds are for though, let's dive in more below.

Development & Monetization - Learn more about how owning or renting a HYTOPIA World allows you to develop massively multiplayer experiences and create a monetization system.

Lootbox Rewards - Learn more about how owning a HYTOPIA World rewards you with recurring cosmetic lootboxes.

We're building the HYTOPIA ecosystem with the goal of attracting tens of millions of players.

To ensure a high-quality gaming experience and keep players engaged through influencing the quality of games and content, we've limited the number of available Worlds to 10,000. The goal of this is to put strategic barriers on developers wanting to target the HYTOPIA player base and prioritize playable game quality over quantity due to monetized games requiring a world as a "ticket" in order to be launched. Developers aiming to profit from HYTOPIA players or appear on our game client's "HYTOPIA Worlds" page need to own a World or rent one from a current owner.

However, if you just want to launch a game for personal, private, or developmental use, you don't need to own a HYTOPIA World. Players can connect to a personal/private/developmental HYTOPIA game servers via a direct IP connection in the HYTOPIA game client. These private worlds will otherwise have no visibility to players within the HYTOPIA game client and no access to monetization systems.

Owning or renting a HYTOPIA World lets you build a game and monetize players in various ways, such as:

Selling in-game cosmetics collections in the form of loot boxes or individual items on the HYTOPIA Marketplace.

Selling game-specific items and digital collectibles in your game through NPC vendors or other systems.

Launching Avatar collections in partnership with HYTOPIA.

Charging players $TOPIA Tokens for approved in-game items, ranks, services, etc.

Hosting "buy-in" tournaments, and other gated server events.

Leverage the $TOPIA ecosystem to incentivize purchases by:

Providing in-game benefits or special functionality to certain items.

Gating gameplay, experiences or features by ownership of certain items.

Design unique and vibrant cosmetics which appeal to a player's desire for individuality.

And more.

The HYTOPIA games page in our game client prominently displays games for new and existing players to explore. To qualify for a spot on this page, a game must be developed into a experience connected to an existing Minecraft server or a much more advanced HYTOPIA server. This opportunity is open to owners or renters of Worlds to gain reach to the entirety of the HYTOPIA playerbase.

Players can sort by gameplay type (Adventure, Casual, RPG, Shooter, etc.) as well as popularity ranks. Popularity ranks of games are calculated using a combination of player activity trends and the World's rarity attached to a game. Games with rarer worlds attached receive a minor multiplier bonus, which slightly boosts their position on the list relative to their activity, making them visible to more players. The most influential metric for popularity ranking is player activity, which includes daily average play time per player, number of unique daily active players, and daily volume of player economic activity for a game.

Information on category ranking formulas will become available as HYTOPIA gets closer to public release.

$TOPIA Token is the in-game currency for the HYTOPIA ecosystem, enabling transactions and trades among players, Worlds, and other interactions. It also powers the HYTOPIA blockchain. With a limited supply of 5 billion tokens, it helps create a stable, incentive-driven platform for creators and players.

$TOPIA Token's significance comes from ensuring secure and seamless value exchanges across the entire HYTOPIA platform. It also is used for HYTOPIA Chain network fees, facilitating smooth network operations, and preserving network integrity. Additionally, the $TOPIA Token has staking options, rewards, and governance mechanisms, all tied to the smooth operation of the HYTOPIA ecosystem. The $TOPIA token is vital for the HYTOPIA ecosystem's stability and growth.
