We had full fun playing Dark Forest, but at the same time, we have some ideas and plans to **improve the game using zero-knowledge proofs and blockchain technology**.\n\n\n\n# Our ongoing programs\n\n## 1. DF ARES\n\nIn March 2023, we have chosen to hold \u201d**DF ARES**\u201d \u2014 seasonal Dark Forest community rounds to explore more possibilities around the game mechanics of Dark Forest and to test the latest technological innovations. DF ARES 0.1.1 round will be hosted this summer.\n\nDF ARES 0.1.1 game demo:\n\nhttps://github.com/dfarchon/DF-ARES-basic-demo\n\nmore information about DF ARES:\n\nhttps://www.notion.so/dfares/DF-ARES-Main-ca9238c3fee8418d933079d5d28eab3b\n\n## 2. Game Strategy Evaluation Sandbox \n\nGame Strategy Evaluation Sandbox: Empowers advanced players to evaluate the excellence of their game strategies in a more quantitative way, including but not limited to fine-grained real-time data analysis, simulated opponent matchups against specific strategies, video replay analysis of past games, and more.\n\n## 3. Dark Forest Plugins \n\nGame experience optimization, timely release of user-friendly plugins according to the latest game rule changes.\n\n## 4. DF ARTEMIS\n\nWe release DF ARTEMIS, which is a Planet-targeted bounty mercenary system.\n\nFunders can publish tasks to planets, mercenaries can attack those planets and get rewards.\n\nDF ARTEMIS provides a new game mechanics to Dark Forest, which can bring fun to both new and old players.\n\nBesides, DF ARTEMIS can be a DAO governance tool, which efficiently distribute tasks and corresponding incentives.\n\nthe open source code: https://github.com/dfarchon/df-artemis\n\n## 5. DF GAIA\n\nWe released DF GAIA , which is a user-friendly dark forest plugin development library.\n\nthe open source code: https://github.com/dfarchon/DF-GAIA\n\n# Who are we?\n\nDF Archon is a newly established gaming group focused on fully on-chain game. Our members are all blockchain developers, dedicated players of Dark Forest, and also have art design skills.\n\nWe are working on game strategy development, experience optimization from blockchain layer to client-side game, sandbox platform for game strategy evaluation, etc. More ecological projects are waiting to be discovered.\n\nThe DF Archon team has received a lot of help from the official Dark Forest Discord server, the Dark Forest Chinese community (especially the wechat group organized by keke.eth) and MarrowDAO during the process of getting to know the Dark Forest game. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to those friends who have helped us.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "dfarchon", "projectTwitter": "DfArchon"}, "recipient": "0xf0dBDe527c63B63178576578777f0b7E24755ABb"}}
