  The Story

  Operation Dawn takes place hundreds of years in the future and is set at the end of the upcoming book The SolaVerse: Origins. Humanity is in an endless battle with the mysterious and technologically advanced "Searchers".

  Build your base, gather materials, level up your squads of ships, and take the fight to the enemy!

  The Base

  The player's base is located in a secure, protective dome in a desert on a barren, dusty planet in the vicinity of one of the 2,000 SOLA-STARS.

  Build your buildings, harvest your resources, and complete missions and challenges to upgrade your spaceships to fight!

  

  Design

  The 2D isometric buildings are designed and created in-house based on their functionality and use in the story and game - all structures play a part in growing your base and upgrading your skills and abilities to allow you to grow and fight the enemy.

  Resources

  Harvest resources in your base and complete passive missions to gather even more. You can get all the resources from competing in battles and destroying your opponents. The common resources are available from all tasks and are steel, titanium, and uranium. The rare resources are just available from missions and battles, and they are ship scraps, engine parts, and blueprint fragments. All resources have a purpose in the game, and none should be overlooked!

  Passive Missions

  Upgrade your base and build the Launchpad so you can send resource gathering rockets off to distant planets (and asteroid belts if there are any nearby) on time-based missions to collect your rewards.

  Spaceships & Battles

  We've designed and built a collection of finely detailed friendly and enemy ships you can create your squads with and fight.

  Complete missions and challenges to earn rewards and use them to unlock and upgrade your spaceships to improve your fighting skills!

  

  Unlock Ships

  As you progress through the game, you'll gradually unlock all the spaceships the Combined Fleets have to offer. It's over to you to figure out how to combine them effectively in squads to defeat the enemy.

  Skills & Upgrades

  Every spaceship has a unique set of skills you can upgrade by spending the resources you gained in battles. Resources are rare though, so spend them wisely!

  Choose Your Enemy

  Fight against enemies of higher or lower levels than you - the level and number of rewards earned scale accordingly.

  Battle

  The turn-based battle system pits your 3 chosen spaceships against a random selection of enemy ships. Use your attack and defence skills wisely as you try to defeat your foe and earn in-game resources as well as an ERC20 utility token called "SOLA" as a reward.

  Battle Mechanics

  The enemy spaceships have similar skills to yours, and they are activated based on algorithm in the game engine. Do you run with lots of healing and armour skills, or do you go all-out attack and try to nuke the enemy armour before their wear yours down? That's all up to you - play the game however you feel!

  Mini Marketplace

  Spaceship Skin Marketplace

  All spaceships have a number of different cosmetic skins available that you can purchase through our Marketplace - these skins are currently off-chain, but will be redeemable for ERC721 NFT tokens in future. You'll be able to buy and sell them on our marketplace as well as OpenSea and other platforms too.

  The SolaVerse Framework

  API Integration with The SolaVerse

  Operation Dawn is an official game from The SolaVerse, but it has been developed using the same APIs and access to The SolaVerse's core architecture that any other 3rd party game developer would have access to. As such, it can be seen as a proof-of-concept of how games can operate and integrate on top of The SolaVerse framework.

  SOLA Rewards

  One of those APIs lets the game developer reward its players with our ERC20 token, $SOLA. You can use the SOLA however you want in your game, distribute rewards to the players, allow them to spend it in your game or on your own marketplace.

  Companions Play on Stars and Earn them Rewards

  Anyone that owns a Companion can choose which SOLA-STAR they want to play for. That means the player's base will be situated on a planet orbiting that SOLA-STAR. Every action the player does will earn the owner of the SOLA-STAR an extra reward - from winning battles to selling NFTs, the SOLA-STAR holder gets a cut of everything that goes on in their system!

  Alpha Launch

  The alpha launch of the game was primarily designed to test and tweak the P2E mechanics of the platform. We needed to be sure the economy worked with a large number of players.

  Rather than flood it all at once, we planned a phased release for the game so we could grow the player base in a controlled manner.

  

  Private Launch for Star Holders

  The first release of the game was to a closed audience of just our SOLA-STAR NFT holders. The rewards were cranked up and the players were let loose to find bugs and suggest improvements. We had a weekly release schedule for bugs and hot-fixes to get everything patched as soon as possible.

  2^nd Private Launch for Stars + Companions

  After 1 month, we opened up the alpha into its second phase by inviting in all the community members holding our Companion NFTs in their wallets. This increased audience allowed us to squash more bugs and test the servers under a heavier load.

  Analytics

  Every action in the game is tracked in detail so we can monitor performance and player activity in the game.

  150k Players on the Waitlist Ready to Play

  Before we even started the first phase of the alpha, we created a signup process called The Waitlist where people could register to get early access to the game before it goes public.

  We currently have 150,000 people on the waitlist, ready to start playing!
