## Basic elements

Some key features of the game explained

### Companion

The Companion is your main ally during your adventure in the Dodo Lands. There is multiple companions available, each with their own base characteristics, way to progress, and mood cycle.

You will need to tell a companion to follow you from the Companion interface. After that every time you take care of your companion, one of their stat will progress according to the duration and mood of the companion.

The companion characteristics are the following :&#x20;

* Muscles (linked to the STR stat in Pixel Fighters)
* Brilliance (linked to the STL stat in Pixel Fighters)
* Will (linked to the INT stat in Pixel Fighters)
* Stamina (linked to the VIT stat in Pixel Fighters)

The companion has a max level that can be achieved, and the current level is the truncated sum of all characteristics

Here is the current list of companions available :&#x20;

| Companion name                                                                                                  | Max level | Specialty                    |

More companions will be introduced over time, with different max levels and specialties !

### Dodos

The dodos are the NFT from the _coindodocard_ collection. They will be important because no dodo to take care of = no Care points. The total of Care points you will be able to earn is based on two things:

* The total number of dodos you own
* The variety of dodos (aya, apollo, bowie…) and rarities in your collection (common, place, rare, epic, legendary and mythic). Each complete set for a given rarity will give you a bonus

{% hint style="warning" %}
The exact amounts are subject to changes to help get the right balance.
{% endhint %}

### Care

Care is the only thing that matters to you in this game. Care is a score you increase with different methods, and will represent your progression in the season. At the end of a season, all the best caretakers, which are the owners with the bigger amount of Care, will be rewarded according to the seasonal reward pool.

{% hint style="info" %}
Care is set back to 0 between every season. Its only utility in this version of the game is to compare caretakers progression and reward the most active with unique NFTs, WAX and tools. A future gameplay will allow you to reset only on demand, and earn unique rewards based on your progress
{% endhint %}

### Care Tools

Care Tools are NFT from the _cigalepixeld_ collection which will be useful to get the precious Care points. They have a care value from 1 (Common) to 4 (Legendary). You will be able to use one at a time to take care of your Dodos by using a special command on a Discord channel. You will only be able to care for your dodos a limited number of times a day, with a cooldown set by tool (to prevent automation, asset transfer and 24/7 care). There will be different categories of tools:

* Clean
* Play
* Feed
* Sleep

{% hint style="info" %}
These categories could be extended to include more features in the **Dodo Care Center**
{% endhint %}

Below are the current existing tools :&#x20;

| Tool                                                                  | Category | Rarity | AVG Care |

## Features

### :heart: Care

#### How to care

The basic feature of the game. When you care about your dodos, you will choose one of your tool categories and apply its effects on the dodos.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need at least one tool of the chosen category to use the **Care** action. Your best tool will be chosen.
{% endhint %}

_**care = base value \* random modificator \* mood modificator**_\
random modificator : from 0.85 to 1.15\
mood modificator : see [Mood](#care-mood) below

#### Max Care

The Max Care is a hardcap to the \*\*Care\*\* points you are able to accumulate. It is calculated from the collection of Dodos and partenered collections you own in yor WAX wallet.

After reaching the Max Care cap, you won't be able to get more care unless you reset your game, earning PIXELS on the way !

#### Mood

Dodos seems to have a hive mind. They share needs that change over time ! Here are the different moods they can get :&#x20;

* **NORMAL** : Not particularly motivated nor lazy, they will do as you command
* **ANGRY** : It seems that your dodos only want to be alone. Maybe this is not the right time to take care of them ?
* **JOYOUS** : Happy dodo, happy life ! They will gladly do what you want them to, and are in a really good mood
* **DIRTY** : Wandering in the stables, they probably need a good, warm bath. A good caretaker will probably help them get rid of all the dirt so they can feel better !
* **EXCITED** : A lot of energy is only waiting to be spent ! Help your dodos do some sport and they will get in shape and ready for adventures
* **HUNGRY** : You can hear their stomachs shouting for attention. While the Care Center provide a basic amount of food, they sometimes need a bit more. Give them some canned food or even better, fruits or fishes !
* **TIRED** : After a long day, dodos are exhausted and need a cozy place to rest. Give them some sleep time and they will be grateful.

| Mood    | Bonus on : | Malus on :      |
| ------- | ---------- | --------------- |
| ANGRY   | Nothing    | All             |
| JOYOUS  | All        | Nothing         |
| NORMAL  | Nothing    | Nothing         |
| EXCITED | Play       | Everything else |
| HUNGRY  | Feed       | Everything else |
| DIRTY   | Clean      | Everything else |
| TIRED   | Sleep      | Everything else |

### :dodo: Adventure&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
While only being an additionnal daily action for a few **Care** points at the moment, Adventures will need caretakers to be even more attentive to their dodo needs.
{% endhint %}

Bring your dodos in a journey on the Dodo lands ! While you train to become the best caretaker in the Center, you get access to places to visit. Each day you will be able to live a small adventure with multiple choices. Those choices will require to have the right tool for the job and give you rewards in return. When the adventure ends, you will see your score, the **Care** points you got and if you are lucky the loot you found on your way !

#### &#x20;:airplane: How to depart for an adventure&#x20;

The main thing you will need in an adventure is a backpack to bring your many tools with you. Without it you will only have your hands and will be able to bring a single tool, but to be ready for every situation it is advised to get a Bag !&#x20;

#### :map: The Journey

After choosing the tools you want to bring with you, time to explore the Dodo Lands ! A serie of events will leave you with choices that can either stop your adventure early or get you further.

* Each event that resolve positively will add **Care** points to the adventure total and improve your loot chances
* Each event that resolve negatively will substract **Care** points to the adventure total and decrease your loot chances.
* After each event, the adventure can stop or continue according to your dodos and your stamina. Events that resolve negatively consume more stamina so the duration of your adventure (and your rewards) will more likely be low if you can't provide your dodos what they need on your journey.

#### :island: Dodo Lands

The Dodo Lands are the different places you will be able to visit according to your total **Care** value

* Lower tier lands will bring basic rewards and a low **Care** bonus
* Higher tier lands will unlock better rarities and a higher **Care** bonus

#### :school\_satchel: Backpacks

Here are the backpacks you will be able to bring into your adventure :
