Mash Explorer

Play-to-Earn 3D RPGPCComplete development

Mash Explorer is a play-to-earn 3D RPG where players purchase an NFT character, grow its power by fighting monsters and earning XP, and can later sell that character to other players through an in-game marketplace.

The challenge

What Needed to Be Built

Every playable character is a real financial asset, so progression, combat and the marketplace all had to work together without letting the blockchain layer break gameplay feel. Purchasing, upgrading, trading and cashing out needed to be as smooth as any traditional RPG's inventory system.

Game Nock’s Responsibility

  • Game design and development
  • Character and environment art
  • Combat VFX
  • Phantom wallet integration on Solana
  • Solana smart contracts for NFT characters
  • Player-to-player marketplace and trading system
  • In-app purchases through the connected wallet
  • Node.js backend
  • Web frontend for the portal and marketplace

Technical Implementation

Built in Unity for PC, with Phantom wallet integration connecting to Solana smart contracts for NFT character ownership. A Node.js backend handles game services, while the marketplace and web frontend run as a companion web presence to the game itself, letting players list, buy and sell characters outside of active gameplay.
