Kitsumon AMA SUMMARY
As the majority of our community knows your project very well and takes an active part in its life, tell us more about what you have prepared for them in the coming months, and tell us briefly what kind of lands will soon go on sale.
Tobias
We have lots of exciting things coming up, starting with the land sale whitelisting that is open right now! You can sign up for a whitelist spot by filling out this form:

Then we have the land sale itself of course, with several sale rounds, 13 different biomes, and 3 rarity levels that you can get depending on your luck! If you want a deep dive into everything Land Sale, check out our medium article:

Following this will be the MMORPG: Professions gameplay release where you can first step foot on the land you bought and start exploring the world of Kitsumon! Lots of exciting professions and adventures are waiting in the Professions gameplay and of course, plenty of Play to Earn opportunities as well. I’m sure we will be back for another AMA when we approach the release of this awesome gameplay, to make sure you don’t miss it
Piotr
I think the release of an MMORPG game is what I’m looking forward to longingly as I’m an old player of the genre, which makes me curious to see what it will look like…
Si
I for sure am looking forward to this as well, still deciding on which Profession career path I will take!
The sale of land will take place in the form of Mystery Boxes. The content inside will be random. Please let us know what the Box will include and what you can do with the contents.
Si
Each box will include a “Land Redemption Card”, which is the same concept as the Egg Redemption Cards from our INO back in February. All boxes are priced uniformly based on the sale round you buy them in, with Launchpad boxes being $75 which you will find on the 26th of October via our awesome pals at Synapse!
When you open your box, the land redemption card you receive will be completely random, it will always be one of the 13 available biomes in one of 3 possible rarities: Standard, Special or Premium. After you have received your redemption card, you can freely trade it with other players on the marketplace to make sure you get land you are happy with. Then when the Professions gameplay releases, you can redeem your card and receive the corresponding Land in-game! Let me share a link about the 13 different Biomes also, some amazing information can be found in each one
Piotr
The concept of the lands and the possibilities you want to offer their owners are certainly fascinating, so as not to give away the details I will only say that it is worth considering owning and buying them in the upcoming sale.
The very fact that the content is random is very exciting, a simple but necessary and interesting solution!
Si
I am excited about the variations in land
Tobias
Indeed, it worked great for our INO as well. It’s perfect for a fair distribution to everyone
Terosia is the centre of the world created by #Kitsumon — it is on this island that the lands we are talking about today, will be located. Tell us more about ways to make a profit in the world of Kitsumon, by owning these lands, what will be their usefulness?
Tobias
First off a quick word about Terosia itself. We generated the entire map based on real-world parameters like an equator, as well as differences in heat and humidity! You can check out the full map in the image below:
But now let’s touch on how you can make money! There are lots of ways to Earn in Kitsumon with your land(s), but the main P2E element is to use your land to play in the Professions gameplay. This will reward you with resources and let you craft items, all of which are NFTs that are tradeable on our marketplace.
Professions are very strongly interlaced with each other, and what one profession produces is always highly sought after by other professions — which means there is plenty of demand to buy items on the marketplace to accelerate your progress! Another great way to get $$$ with your land is to rent it out to other players.
Kitsumon has an in-depth rental system that lets you rent anything from Land, to Items and even your Kitsus! You can freely set the rental period and price, and wait until someone takes up the offer. After the period expires, you reclaim your NFT with the click of a button.
Piotr
It sounds a bit like the old days when a person produced various goods and exchanged them with other people, who in turn created other items that the former could not create, this is a very good element of your game, keep it up!
Tobias
Glad you like it! It’s all about building a community that works together for everyone’s benefit.
Piotr
Don’t forget the phases of the moon! This would be an interesting concept to implement in the game, it could affect players and their achievements, such a pro tip from my side, I don’t think anyone has done it yet.
Tobias
That sounds like an awesome idea, we’ll see what can be done in the future!
As we know, the lands will be diverse, you offer many types of them, from lush forests to deserts, there is something for everyone. How will the type of land you offer affect the user’s opportunities, and what are the differences between them?
Si
Our lands consist of 13 different Biomes, all of them with their own unique traits that affect professions in major ways. From the Oasis biome that gives major boosts to Farming, to the Badlands that are a Miner’s paradise, and even the elusive Void biome that takes the positive stats from its bordering biomes for itself, there is a biome for everyone!
I love this personally because in some cases you may have to work with other users and explore other areas. As shown earlier and a reminder, you can explore all the biomes in our overview article here:
https://medium.com/kitsumon-metaverse/kitsumon-biomes-overview-513c88f334d5
I highly recommend reading each one as @TobiasFuchs mentions earlier and what I said above, each land type has many different stipulations on each Profession. Even in some of the lands you may come across monsters and other crazy things
Definitely make sure you are well equipped before exploring some dangerous areas
Piotr
I like dangerous places! This greatly enriches the gameplay and evokes emotions, and emotions are very important when it comes to games! Reading about this island, I get the impression that you wanted to create a place that resembles our beautiful planet as much as possible. This is good, because there is no other place like ours Earth, well, except Telosia of course.
Tobias
Exactly, it was created from a “big bang” in the Metaverse to merge our world together with the digital.
By having your NFTs, users become entitled to the game element that is Professions. Can you tell us more about what they will be characterised by, and why it is worth trying your hand at this game? This will certainly also be of interest to new users.
Tobias
Professions offer a huge amount of gameplay options, so there is something for every kind of user to enjoy. As the name MMORPG says, it’s all about finding your own path and following what you like to do the most. You can spend most of your time on your land plot, building an amazing farm or digging out a mineshaft to try your luck at finding rare gemstones. Or you can opt to craft yourself weapons and gear to go out exploring the open world, visit other players on their land plots, and even take on Dungeons together for rare materials!
There are plenty of NPCs to get quests from, too, that will guide you through the Kitsumon world and give you some juicy rewards at the same time. And for those of you wondering how your Kitsus can play a part in all of this — there are rumours of an ancient ritual that can be performed in just a few select places, to let your Kitsu grant you amazing boosts for your land stats! There’s just so much you can do in the Professions gameplay, it’s really exciting
Si
Mega excited about Professions RPG!
Piotr
Very interesting solutions you implement in this game, I’m really impressed, nowadays games are mass-produced, most of them are quite simple, not much different from others, here I see a nice team that has fun with what they do, above all they do it with a smile on their face and not limiting themselves with any idea, this is really good!
Tobias
Always a pleasure to work on something amazing like this, it feels great to see an idea really come to life over time.
Si
We love what we do! Worth taking a look at the Professions Overview article too:
https://medium.com/kitsumon-metaverse/professions-overiew-f18dfa1e81d9
Your project also offers a guild system for players and a battle arena, as we have a lot of gaming enthusiasts here, tell us more about how they can join with other players to form a guild and tell us more about the battle system, how do Kitsus play a part in it and how can land owners benefit from it?
Si
The Guild system is something we’re super excited about — it’s all about letting people band together and work for the progress of everyone as a whole. To create a guild, it first takes someone to be the owner, or the Guild General, and then for enough other people to join the guild as well. There will be a Guild Explorer, where each General can list their Guild as “open for recruitment” and make it visible to other players. A guild has its own Guild Vault as well, where rare and useful items/tools can be stored and offered to all guild members!
As a guild member, you can use much more powerful tools so you can progress faster, and in return share some of your profit back to the guild for using the items. And when you are far advanced and have powerful tools of your own, you can put them in the guild vault to rent to other players and get profit from their efforts!
Here is a snippet from our Guild slide on the Land Sale Deck:
You can see on the right that our Guild Management system is coming along nicely. Keep an eye out for more info as time goes by. Regarding the battle system, Kitsus will face off in a MOBA style 5v5 battle to see which team can be victorious. Our Kitsus have a huge amount of unique abilities and effects, that can be mixed and matched in endless possibilities through Breeding, which as just recently launched!
If you are interested in Breeding, make sure to read here:
https://medium.com/kitsumon-metaverse/kitsumon-breeding-mainnet-release-5946e54ab6ae
Many players have made some amazing Hybrid Kitsus already, check them out! Land owners can greatly benefit from this aspect as well, because every single MOBA battle is held inside a Battle Arena, which is a building that you can build only on Premium land. As the owner of a battle arena, you will Earn from every battle that is held inside of it!
Something I know Piotr will love very much!
Piotr
What I can add.. It is worth being PREMIUM!
From the very beginning of Kitsumon, from the very start when we met, I have seen in you a really great enthusiasm to create a big, elaborate game, using what technology has given us, which is in this case NFT, and simply blockchain. This hasn’t changed until now, you continue to work hard, regardless of how the market behaves, you set your goal and pursue it, this is really admirable, respect!
Si
And there is, even more, to come for sure! Thanks for the kind words Piotr!
Tobias
We’re lucky to have great partners like Synapse to work with so our hard work can reach lots of people
You have also taken care of the free exchange of items gained by players, tell us more about how people can trade with each other. And at the very end, tell us what, for yourselves, is the most interesting of all the things we’ve talked about.
Tobias
Buying and selling NFT items is a huge part of the Kitsumon ecosystem. We have our own marketplace that was created in-house to allow the trading of almost any item in the entire game! If you mine a rock, or you harvest some fruits, you can sell it as an NFT. You can also opt to combine some materials into a rare item, like a powerful Pickaxe, and then list that on the marketplace as well. And of course, if you want a specific item to progress in your own profession, you can easily buy it from someone else too!
The thing we are most excited about has to be the upcoming Land Sale, of course! We can’t wait to bring you all the amazing biomes and the professions gameplay. Make sure to read the Land Sale Overview article if you want to catch up to speed on everything you need to know!

Do you guys feel satisfied by seeing your progresses and achievements till now, when you look back to the day when you have started this project?
Si
For sure, we have grown a lot as a team and the development of the project and game itself. In fact we can look at this as separate things because the game itself is a mega project, we have also had the success of INO’s TGE’s, Breeding Gameplay, and now the Land initiatives. There is so much to come and we cannot wait to share with you all, especially the Professions and MOBA.
