Impostors Genesis Aliens: An NFT project as an association with the Among Us game

Innocent or impostor? Choose your role to participate in Impostors Genesis Aliens in the original play-and-earn genre (the mechanics is similar to the Play-to-earn format, but does not require initial investment). However, a large ecosystem of several NFT collections and two tokens of its own make this project a target primarily for fans of the Among Us game that was famous a few years ago. The ecosystem, which is balanced by NFTs and tokens and built on the Unreal Engine, makes one dive into the world of social deduction called Impostors.

What are Impostors Genesis Aliens?

Impostors Genesis Aliens is a collection of 10,420 NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain and having the ERC-721 token standard.

Impostors Genesis Aliens is the main collection of the Impostors metaverse, a play-and-earn project that includes three other collections:

1. Materials Box,
2. Genesis Pets,
3. Genesis UFOs.

There are also two tokens in the ecosystem:

1. $SUPER is a governance token, primarily an Impostors DAO token, and this DAO includes all holders of the NFT ecosystem.
2. $BLOOD is an in-game token. Players can earn it in P2P battles and other in-game activities. Also, $BLOOD is a utility token in the metaverse.

The Impostors Genesis Aliens itself is a collection of animated alien creatures that have distinctive traits. You can also use the Materials Box NFT collection to slightly alter the characters’ appearance, such as by adding dark glasses.

The NFT collection is not only a play-and-earn game, but also a new genre of this kind, such as social deduction, where players try to uncover the role of each other, primarily through logical reasoning. In play-and-earn games on the blockchain, this is quite rare.

There are only two roles in the game:

1. Innocent is the player who searches for the killer and votes against all Impostors. The Innocent must also complete all tasks before the Impostors try to kill him.
2. Impostor is the player who must kill all the Innocents.

The game’s mechanics are similar to Among Us, a fairly popular 2020-2021 game that originally came out on Steam and garnered millions of fans worldwide.

Who created the Impostors Genesis Aliens?

Impostors Genesis Aliens is created by a team of more than 30 participants who are professionals in their field. The project is represented by two specialists:

• Elliot Wainman: Creator of Elliotrades, Co-Founder of Superfarm. He has been supporting NFT gaming since 2018.
• Tim Clancy: Lead Blockchain Architect at Superfarm. He’s one of the pioneers of blockchain games. He worked at Enjin, Amazon, Electronic Arts. While working for the latter company, he participated in the development of Battlefield 1.

The rest of the team also has a very significant list of achievements. They worked on FarCry 2, Pixar, Roblox, Gears of War and other projects.

Why is Impostors Genesis Aliens popular?

There are enough reasons why the NFT project has a certain popularity:

• The complete decentralization of the project. The community can vote on the further development of the project with $SUPER token. All owners of NFTs are members of the DAO.
• The $BLOOD is a utility in-game token. It can be earned by playing, as well as received as a reward for staking NFTs. That is, the player may not show some activity in the game, but simply receive passive income.
• Quite interesting mechanics of the game, which is similar to Among Us, a rather popular game, where the point is to identify the killer.

Impostors Genesis Aliens Idea

Impostors Genesis Aliens was originally designed to be an addictive game with interesting mechanics, and it’s worth saying that the team succeeded. The play-and-earn genre with elements of social deduction, where you need to think logically, gathered a fairly large community. They also diversified the game with additional characters in the form of the Pets, which made the gameplay even more exciting.

Also, the decision on the development of the NFT project is made by the community (in the DAO format) by voting with the help of $SUPER token. Thus, a complete decentralized management of the community is ensured.
