Hey Frens, this guide will walk you through how to get started playing in the Gotchiverse on Mumbai Testnet, and make you aware of what to look out for while testing.
Summary
You’ll soon be entering the Gotchiverse in the CR1 playfield! In it, you’ll be able to explore, collect test net Alchemica, Craft the Aaltar installation, and see it in your Inventory. But first, be sure to read through this guide and familiarize yourself with the required setup.
Required Setup
First and foremost, you’ll need to visit the playtest site at https://demo.gotchiverse.io/.
If you need to improve your performance you can try adjusting your Game Settings before you enter the Gotchiverse. The Game Settings button is located in the upper-right of your screen (pictured below).
Step 1: Switch your Metamask to “Mumbai Testnet”
To do this, follow the steps found here: https://blog.polysynth.com/how-to-connect-polygon-testnet-to-metamask-wallet-472bca410d64
Mumbai is required because we’ll be using testnet Alchemica. However, you’ll still be able to use your mainnet Aavegotchis as they’re hardcoded for this test. You’ll know Metamask is configured correctly if the new Craft icon displays in the bottom-right corner of your screen (pictured below). This icon will NOT be visible if you are on mainnet.
Step 2: Get Testnet MATIC in your Wallet
Use this faucet to get yourself some Testnet MATIC: https://faucet.polygon.technology/ or https://mumbaifaucet.com/. Please note that it may take a few minutes to arrive.
Step 3: Make Metamask aware of the Alchemica Tokens
Alchemica tokens include FUD, FOMO, ALPHA, and KEK. There are two options for adding them to your Metamask.
Option one involves clicking “Import Tokens” at the bottom of the Metamask Assets tab. From here you can copy, paste, and then submit the custom token form for each of the following addresses:
FUD: 0x6FAc2a5b95990E6f9F7123A99fc4F1ee4a0E5C9A
FOMO: 0xdE8D1EA6dd85fCa10f0E7120dA8E233520d7414f
ALPHA: 0xB9259df4a0ba0bfBbCBe6E1986F21D968188DbBb
KEK: 0xE204c5882C37a4D834ef3C4CCE4D3dEB872753Ef
For option two you can simply begin collecting Gotchus Alchemica. Once you’ve withdrawn enough craftable Alchemica tokens to your wallet, the popup Metamask permissions workflow will add them for you.
You and your GotchiGang should now be ready to play! Please continue reading to learn how to help us test.
How to Play
Controls
You can either use WASD, Arrow Keys, or the Numeric Keypad to move your Gotchi around the playfield.
Left clicking your mouse will allow you to access buttons such as Game Options and Actions.
Play Flow
The basic play flow to craft the Aaltar will be as follows:
1. Collect Gotchus Alchemica on the map
The bigger the size of the Alchemica the more you collect.
2. Move inside the Vortex
Once inside, an “E” should appear. Press E and withdraw your collected Alchemica tokens to your wallet. You will be able to see each vortex on the minimap to help guide you.
3. Click the "Craft" Button
Once you’ve withdrawn 100 FUD, 20 FOMO, 0 Alpha, and 30 KEK, click the “Craft” Button to craft the Aaltar Installation.
4. Click the Inventory Button
Click the Inventory button to check your crafted Installations.
5. Rinse, Repeat and Socialize!
If you can, let us know if you encounter any difficulties. That would be very helpful!
