Notcoin collaborates with Lost Dogs NFT collection and Getgems marketplace to create a narrative-based game, shifting from its viral tap-to-earn model to a more sustainable ecosystem.
Notcoin, the viral clicker game that attracted over 30 million users in less than two months, is set to launch a new story-driven Web3 game in collaboration with the Lost Dogs non-fungible token (NFT) collection and The Open Network (TON)-based NFT marketplace Getgems. This move marks a significant shift in Notcoin’s strategy, aiming to create a more sustainable ecosystem and engage users on a deeper, more meaningful level.

The new game will allow players to use Lost Dogs NFTs as characters, evolving them by completing various tasks and making choices. This transition comes after Notcoin recognized that its tap-to-earn model could not sustain long-term engagement and growth, despite its initial success. As a result, the project ended its mining phase on April 1, at the peak of its popularity.

Mad Tail, the chief barking officer of the Lost Dogs collection, emphasized the importance of narrative-driven games, stating, “Everything in our lives is a form of narrative. Life itself is a narrative concept.” The team believes that despite the global trend towards mechanics that trigger quick dopamine hits, people still seek good narratives.
The new game will continue to offer earning opportunities, with players able to acquire Notcoin (NOT) tokens and a new in-game token(WOOF). This approach aims to balance engagement and rewards, creating a more sustainable ecosystem.
The incorporation of NFTs into the game is seen as a tool to enrich the gaming experience by enhancing the sense of ownership. Mad Tail explained, “We see NFTs as a tool that can enrich the gaming experience by enhancing the sense of ownership within the game. This is why we’ve chosen to incorporate NFTs into our playground.”
This new venture is described as an experiment, exploring and combining different concepts in the Web3 gaming space. As the NFT market faces challenges, with some of its lowest monthly sales volumes in recent months, projects like Notcoin’s story-driven game demonstrate ongoing innovation and belief in the technology’s potential.
The collaboration between Notcoin, Lost Dogs, and Getgems represents a growing trend in the Web3 gaming industry, where narrative-driven experiences and NFT integration are being used to create more engaging and sustainable gaming ecosystems.
