Welcome to the MEKA PRIME community — as this game comes to life, you’re going to be at the heart of everything we do.

MEKA PRIME is a mold-breaking play-to-earn MMO RPG, immersing you in a world of trade, skill, collaboration, and gladiatorial robot combat.

Become a resident of the thriving but wild Autonomous Cities, on a future Earth that’s rebuilding after generations of robot warfare. With zero barriers to entry, you can work your way up from scavenging in the Badlands, buying, selling and upgrading your assets, and resourcing your robot mekas — including MEKA PRIMATES the ultimate tournament-fighting machines, built to compete in the monthly $100,000 and yearly $1,000,000 contests that are the heart of our game.

P2E moves on

Rapidly evolving and powered by waves of interest, some first-generation play-to-earn projects have generated huge sums… and others huge disappointment. The P2E space is maturing fast and under ever-closer scrutiny. Is this going to be an all-encompassing step that takes all aspects of the gaming world into a more-immersive, experience-and-player enriching future? Or an experiment destined to fail?

At Cosmic Labs we think this isn’t just a possible mission, but a worthwhile one. But like all epic quests, you need to pick your fighter. What are the traits, skills, and even alliances that will let you unlock this story?

MEKA PRIME

This is a universe dreamed into existence by a team that want the P2E game that they actually want to play. That means:

  • ZERO-BARRIERS-TO-ENTRY — The ability to start from nothing, whether that’s assets or experience. With a free avatar and an elementary wallet setup we’re truly open to all, and an entry point into the crypto ecosystem for newcomers. Your journey into this universe can be driven by curiosity… and nothing more.
  • Immersion in the world is rewarded by the ability to acquire QUALITY ASSETS, with meaningful in-game utility and long-term value.
  • A MMORPG world full of rich detail with compelling characters that doesn’t just expand ever outwards into the emptiness of space, but focuses players on a world of interaction, trade, alliances or conflict… a world where the real traits of your personality make a difference to your avatar, and how you get ahead in a metaverse that is amazing, but also intuitively real.
  • A world that delivers FUN. This is cinematic, intense, engaging, and rewarding gameplay at every level, from strategic interaction on mobile platforms to deep immersion in an expansive browser-based game.
  • And finally… where these worlds of spectacle, community, and a functioning economy all come together at one point in space and time — the TOURNAMENTS, rewarding PVP skill and long-term strategy, as players can compete for epic real-world sums of prize money.

This is PLAY AND EARN — high quality, cohesive world-building, immersive storytelling, and kick-ass gameplay — all enhanced by effortless, underlying blockchain functionality.

Rise from dust and compete for epic real-world sums of prize money

Game Play

Own assets. Deploy resources. Claim a profession. Hone your abilities. Take on quests. Make alliances. Everything has a place in our innovative economy, but where things come to the crunch is in the Coliseum. It’s intense, up-close PVP combat, as individual or team play, with three different genera of MEKA PRIMATES. Every fight is a chance to level up your Meka Primate and your pilot, or take a hit… but with monthly tournaments awarding prizes of $100,000 and an annual grand prize of $1,000,000, this is where the richest rewards can be gained, as well as the highest honors.

Anyone can enter as a scavenger, claiming your FREE customizable avatar. Build your resources, invest in Utility Mekas to increase your productivity, and form temporary alliances or permanent guilds to increase your odds of success.

With those increased resources you can continue to develop as a scavenger, trade parts, or even explore other paths — start a business in the marketplace, become a navigator, or a mechanic. Or take on the ultimate investment as a Meka Primate owner, and train, fight and upgrade to increase its standings.

Low on assets, but with lighting-fast reactions? Maybe a path lies ahead as a Meka Pilot. Training in bouts, levelling yourself up, and entering the skills market as a pilot to hire, partnering with Meka owners to take your share of the prize money. Anything can be achieved alone, but success can be even richer when it involves collaboration and engagement with other players.

Follow us here on Medium for deeper-dive articles on every element of the gameplay, but particularly on our innovative roadmap — we’re building one united gameplay world, with different entry points, releases and experiences across web and mobile. Through seamless mobile integration into MEKA PRIME players can scavenge, battle and trade on the go, or immerse at home through our HD cloud-based gaming hub.

NFT Assets

Our first collections of in-game assets are integral to gameplay — they have utility that drives the action, and that will have a pivotal impact on your experience in the game. Our NFT’s have the highest production quality possible, created in collaboration with Shape Immersive, straight from their production schedule with Star Atlas.

Asset ownership will be the centerpiece of our economy from the start, allowing players to enter at different levels of the ecosystem, but without ever giving them an out-weighted advantage that limits the experience for non-asset rich players. Increasing mechanism complexity is designed as part of our iterative, scaled game expansion. Asset fractionalization, lending pools, staking, trading, building and liquidity pools will all take their place, embedded deep into our in game economy.

Blockchain

SOLANA is what makes this possible — a highly scalable blockchain operating through a hybrid-consensus of Proof-of-History and Proof-of-Stake that results in near-instantaneous finality of transactions and transaction fees as low as $0.00002. Solana is currently able to support up to 80,000 TPS, asserting itself as the perfect home for high density instantaneous trading-based blockchain gaming, and with the final advantage of standing up to scrutiny against Proof-Of-Work’s ecological impact, it’s placed to be the perfect, long-term system for any level of metaverse gaming, and the perfect home for Meka Prime.

The Future…

We’re excited to give you a window into incredible work that’s been achieved so far by this exceptional team, and reveal the roadmap into the future of Meka Prime.

There’s a new space in the future of gaming in the metaverse, and the desert winds are raging… so it’s a pleasure to reward the first who are venturing into the storm with us — congratulations!
