Axie Builder Program : Axieology Tower Defense!
Hello Axieology, I am really happy to welcome you to The Guillotine Post !
For several weeks now, players are getting excited about Axie Origin but also about the Axie Builders Program. We got some leaks about MOBA game, fighting game, Kart game, but today we will focus on your own Axie game, a Tower Defense game. You are really active in the builders-program channel in Discord and we really wanted to know more about this project and share it with the community. So thanks a lot for taking time to answer our questions.
The Guillotine Post : Could you tell us a bit more how this project started ? (Since when are you working on it?, How many people work on this project?)
Axieology : The project concept was originally planned back in June 2021. The game was meant to be created on axie SDK, while the iOS app was planned as complementary tool. However, with the delay in Project K and announcement of Axie Builder Program, we decided to shift our plans and create the game directly on to our iOS app instead around January.
We currently have 2 members in our team as show in our whitepaper.

The Guillotine Post : In a few words, could you present Axieology Tower Defense?
Axieology : Axieology will be a single player double-layered game - with tamagotchi-style prepare phase and rogue-style tower defense phase.

The Guillotine Post : Can you present to us the gameplay? Players will be able to use their own Axies? Will there be any difference if we use a Bird or a Plant?
Axieology : We are currently not revealing the gameplay details of Tower Defense phase. But we can confirm that players will be able to use their own axies. The horn part of the axies will determine the variety of available towers for use (in case that was not already obvious from our previous leaks). We have not decided what other factors of axies (such as other body parts, body class, body shape, breed count) will become a factor yet - at least not for our initial release. But many ideas are being explored while we pursue our main target design firstly.

The Guillotine Post : We just saw your new website presenting your project (https://game.axieology.com/#intro) and honestly we are excited to play your game. But you will focus on IOS first right? Why did you take this decision?
Axieology : We are targeting iOS firstly for 2 main reasons:
1) Our team is very familiar with iOS development. So instead of trying to use other dev platform (such as Unity) that we are not as familiar with, we decided to focus on our strength firstly to deliver our project as quickly and efficiently as possible.
2) Axie experience has been severely lacking for iOS userbase due to the beta release limitations. We wanted to introduce Lunacia/Axie to our fellow iOS users asap.

The Guillotine Post : Can we take some time to talk about the game economy? Is it free to play? Will we need some SLP to play? Is there a burning mechanism?
Axieology : The game will be free to play but that will be limited to use of rotations of axies that our team provides. We are planning to require one-time fee of SLP to unlock premium access that will allow users to use their own axies. And a portion of the fee will be burned, of course. Additional premium contents are being considered but not a priority in our dev plan currently.

The Guillotine Post : Did you put your project into the Axie Builder Program? Why do you think this program could help your project?
Axieology : Yes, we have applied for Axie Builder Program. If we can get accepted into the program, it will help us greatly in providing more variety of axies to be used for the game for the free to play portion. Also, we hope that the access to ronin network will open up our ability to expand our game with more features in the future as well.

The Guillotine Post : Are you looking into other projects around Axie? Is there any game that caught your attention?
Axieology : We love following other ABP related programs! The project we are more particularly excited for is the Ogami conquest since we love MOBA games.
Thanks a lot for your time and we are all really excited to play this Tower Defense!
