THE ROADMAP
Six phases from first seed to full bloom. This is directional, not a promise — the Garden grows at the pace its Gardeners set, and scope can shift with audits, feedback and what the Garden actually needs.
THE SEED IS PLANTED
Before a single Pupp could be adopted, the Garden itself had to be built — the art, the lore, the mechanics, and the ground beneath everyone's feet.
- Ink Pupps concept, lore and pixel-art world direction locked in
- 3,333-Pupp generative art pipeline across 10 trait categories and 3 rarities (Common, Rare, Legendary)
- Core game loop designed: Adopt → Plant → Grow → Harvest
- $PUPPS reward economy modeled — XP-per-minute, $PUPPS-per-hour, and a 6-tier level curve from Seedling to Garden Master
- The Garden Map laid out: The Meadow, Flower Field, Pupp Village, The Orchard, Moonlight Grove and Garden Castle
- Full site built: Adoption Barn, Garden, Pupp House, Garden Map and this Handbook
PLANTING DAY
The gate opens. This is the phase where the Garden stops being a demo and starts being a living collection with real Gardeners in it.
- Smart contract finalized, audited and deployed
- Public adoption opens — up to 5 Pupps per wallet
- The Meadow, Flower Field, Pupp Village and The Orchard go OPEN on the Garden Map
- Planting goes live on-chain — Pupps start earning real Growth XP and $PUPPS
- Pupp House connects to real wallet ownership — no more local-only progress
- Collection listed on marketplace(s) for secondary trading
GROWING SEASON
Once every Pupp has a home, the Garden grows outward — more reasons to check in, more ways to spend $PUPPS, and the first real community-run traditions.
- $PUPPS claiming and withdrawal live from the Pupp House
- Garden Leaderboard — top Gardeners ranked by Growth XP and $PUPPS harvested
- First seasonal decorations and Garden Master relics unlock at max level
- Pupp accessory shop opens, spendable entirely in $PUPPS
- Community events: naming contests, garden-design contests, seasonal scavenger hunts
- "Bring a Friend to the Garden" referral rewards
MOONLIGHT GROVE OPENS
The fifth region on the map has stayed locked since day one. This is where the Garden grows a little stranger, and a little more rewarding for Pupps who stick around.
- Moonlight Grove unlocks on the Garden Map
- Night-cycle mechanics — nocturnal bonus hours with boosted $PUPPS rates
- Pupp bonding exploration: two max-level Pupps can bond inside the Grove
- Rarity-based growth multipliers for Rare and Legendary Pupps
- First limited-edition collaboration Pupps
- Companion PWA for checking on your Garden from your phone
THE GARDEN CASTLE
The last gate on the map. Garden Castle is less about new mechanics and more about handing the Garden over to the Gardeners who built its story.
- Garden Castle unlocks — the final region on the Garden Map
- $PUPPS governance voting on future features, decorations and treasury spend
- Community treasury funded by a share of secondary marketplace royalties
- Garden Master Hall of Fame — permanent on-chain recognition for max-level Pupps
- First real-world merch drop, redeemable with $PUPPS
BEYOND THE FENCE
Everything after the map as it exists today. Directional, ambitious, and entirely dependent on how far the Gardeners want to take it.
- New biomes and regions beyond the original six
- Pupps usable as avatars/companions in partner experiences
- Exploring full community/DAO handover of Garden governance
- Ink Pupps lore expansion — comics, storybook, or animated shorts
