Welcome to Ronin, Tatsumeeko! A New Horizon in Life Simulation RPGs

Tatsumeeko, an innovative free-to-play life simulation game, has officially arrived on Ronin. This title combines turn-based auto-battles with the cozy fun of home-building in an immersive 2.5D universe. Do you enjoy the strategy of Final Fantasy or the creative construction of Animal Crossing? Tatsumeeko merges the best of both worlds and brings it to the Ronin blockchain, opening new possibilities for both casual players and those seeking a deeper experience.

The Lumina Hunt Milestone on Telegram

The integration of Tatsumeeko with Ronin not only enhances its gameplay but also marks a significant step for the blockchain community: the launch of Lumina Hunt, the first Telegram game on Ronin. This spin-off allows players to capture mystical creatures, Lumins, participate in expeditions, and climb leaderboards, all within the popular messaging app. With over 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram becomes a direct access point for players worldwide, offering the opportunity to earn rewards and tokens within the Tatsumeeko ecosystem. Players will also be rewarded with key essential items and currency for an early boost in Tatsumeeko: Lumina Fates, the main game (scheduled to launch its open beta before the end of 2024), by participating in Lumina Hunt. The bot is not yet active but is expected to be soon.

What is Tatsumeeko?

Tatsumeeko: Lumina Fates is a life simulation RPG with Telegram integration through Lumina Hunt. Players will not only engage in turn-based battles but also forge alliances, complete quests, and customize their virtual homes. This experience offers a unique balance between magical combat and relaxing daily tasks. The game is expected to enter its beta phase in Q4 2024, allowing players to dive into the world of Ielia.

Three Pillars of the Tatsumeeko Ecosystem

The Tatsumeeko universe is divided into three key parts:

1. Lumina Hunt: A casual idle experience on Telegram launching on Ronin later this year. Players will capture Lumins and embark on expeditions to earn Vabloons, off-chain points that can later be exchanged for $TATSU, the core token of the Tatsumeeko ecosystem.

2. Tatsu.GG and Tatsugotchi: The well-known content system on Discord, used in over 1.5 million communities, allows players to interact with their virtual pets and customize their spaces in a pet simulator.

3. Tatsumeeko: Lumina Fates: The full RPG where players explore a vast world of modern fantasy, customizing their avatars, battling enemies, and decorating their homes with items that are not only aesthetic but also grant combat boosts.

Lumina Hunt Gameplay and Mechanics

In Lumina Hunt, players will have the chance to capture Lumins and send them on expeditions in teams of four to earn resources and Vabloons. These mystical creatures are the key to success in the game and can be upgraded with materials obtained during expeditions. Additionally, Arcanes, rare objects, can enhance your Lumins' abilities, increasing daily rewards.

Vabloons, off-chain points, will be redeemable for $TATSU tokens. Players can earn them by completing quests and inviting friends through a referral system.

The World of Lumina Fates: More than Just Battles

In the main game, Lumina Fates, players will control an avatar called an Awakener and embark on an epic journey in the magical world of Ielia. The Lumins, with over 80 different creatures to collect, are the heart of this RPG. With seasonal Gacha mechanics, players will be able to collect creatures ranging from common to legendary.

Additionally, Lumina Fates includes a fascinating home-building mechanic. Customizing your space is essential, as each piece of furniture grants combat ability boosts, allowing players to maximize their performance in battle.

An Experience that Evolves with Blockchain

One of Tatsumeeko's main innovations is the integration of blockchain into its ecosystem. All in-game elements, from Lumins and Arcanes to your home’s furniture, will become tradable NFTs on Ronin once the game is fully available. This will allow players to have real control over their assets and actively participate in the game’s economy.
