This week’s guest on the Cardano NFT Column is a project building a Sci-Fi Roguelike MMO game with the story being driven by the community: Rogue Galaxies.
The previous guest was a project banking on web3 creators to lead the digital renaissance and inspire the art of tomorrow.
This initiative is a point of reference for NFTs on Cardano and every week or two we will invite someone to answer some questions and give us an update directly from within the Cardano community.
Considering that many of our readers are new to the crypto space, we will have a mix of simple and technical questions.
Cardano NFT project: Rogue Galaxies
Hey, glad to have you here. Please introduce your team, where are you from, what are your backgrounds?
Yves – Game Director, founder of SmokeStab & Co-CEO NMKR Games. With almost two decades of combined experience in the video game development scene alongside Robin, Yves Masullo is a powerhouse in the indie game scene. Building SmokeStab from the ground up with his brother-in-arms, Yves has seen his experience bear fruit both in the web2 and web3 world. His first major release in web3 was “ADA Ninjaz: Shards of Ninava”, a Cardano based web3 game. But that’s his past. His future? To create engaging experiences that capture the player’s imagination & connect people around the world
Robin – Programming Lead, founder of SmokeStab & Co-CEO NMKR Games. Alongside Yves, Robin is ready to take the web3 gaming world by storm. Fronting the game design and leading the programming of Rogue Galaxies, Robin is bringing his experience in creating living universes where players can live their own stories into the new world of blockchain tech. Co-founder of SmokeStab, Robin has led the charge alongside Yves in the development of successful web2 games and is ready to evolve the web3 space for all future games to come.
Ignacio – Narrative Design & Storytelling, background in film, music, theatre, CCO Danketsu (formerly ADA Ninjaz). Also known as “the storyteller”, Ignacio’s experience comes from his multimedia background. Film, music, theater, manga and video games have been his professional playing grounds since his teenage years. His breakthrough into the Web3/NFT scene was as Chief Creative Officer and storyteller for ADA Ninjaz. His goals span from finding new forms of decentralised storytelling in web3 entertainment and the crypto world to creation and teaching of all forms and structures of narrative and non-narrative storytelling through various art forms.
What is Rogue Galaxies and why have you chosen the Cardano blockchain for your project?
Rogue Galaxies is a Sci-Fi Roguelike MMO, where you’ll travel through the vastness of space, unravelling the mysteries of the physical anomalies called “Overlaps” and fighting to find the source of unlimited power that lies behind these enigmas – The Stygian Light.
The year is 7582 Æ (After Earth). Humanity has evacuated our long lost Earth and spread throughout the galaxy, evolving in different ways, according to the environments they’ve found themselves in. The major governments control the different sectors of the Milky Way; the Perseum, the Sukhashan and the Merum Lineage.
The game’s story will be driven by the community, and the modular release we’re planning also allows us to take every consideration of the community and evolve the game accordingly. We’re releasing a web gamification starting end of January 2023, then the modules will come out as follows:
Module 1: Space – Q3 2023
You’ll be able to travel through space on story-driven missions, quests, and roguelike action.
Module 2: Planets
You’ll be able to land on planets and do your roguelike runs in concentric circles of difficulty with a timed “collapse” or “overlap”. Final boss, and either success, or horrible failure are the outcome.
Module 3: Social
This module will allow for more social interactions in the MMO part of the game plans.
And more to come.
We chose Cardano because that’s the ecosystem we’ve been working in since the beginning and this is an NMKR project. It’s the greenest, safest, most development friendly and low tx blockchain out there, with the best community around.
Why is there so much scepticism towards NFTs within the gaming community and how are you approaching this problem? What are some innovative use cases of NFTs in gaming?
Unfortunately the NFT space is filled with flippers, scammers, Ponzi schemes, rug-pulls and other negative aspects that fuel the scepticism towards NFTs. FTX is just another massive example. And bad actors in one chain affect all chains; the average person still sees all blockchain as just “Bitcoin”, so one chain’s bad actors have repercussions on us all.
We’re approaching the problem by putting NFTs/blockchain second and game first. NFTs and blockchain technology has to ENHANCE the experience overall, not be the central focus point.
The ownership and potential evolution of NFTs, plus the community access that these allow, as well as “shareability” of the experience and community created stories is something incredibly innovative in gaming. All the different play-to-’s are really great social experiments in many ways.
Please tell us some information about your mints. What kind of NFTs are for sale? How did the 1st mint go and when are the next ones?
Our first mint was on the 9th of Dec 2022, where we put 1000 of our first 3000 Genesis Spaceship NFTs up for sale. We closed the sale at 750 as we had set a “deadline” for the mint so as not to keep it lingering and to keep ships in our own wallet for giveaways and competitions.
The ships were priced at 350 ADA each, but they included an airdrop of the Season Pass: Genesis too.
The next mint from the 3k Genesis collection will go up on sale on 15 February 2023. We will be dropping all 2000 remaining ships.
In this sale we will also open up the Season Pass: Genesis sale separately for people to be able to choose what they wish to have. This includes a discount at the same price as the Dec mint for those who wish for both a ship and season pass. Through passive holding, one will be able to receive a few further NFTs for use in the game in the future.
SHIP NFTs; will be the playable and evolvable/modifiable ships in the game
SEASON PASS: GENESIS; these allow for access to the early website gamification starting in Jan. Through their active levelling up, one will be able to unlock further NFTs for use in the game in the future.

After a year of near dormancy, Bitcoin funds of the rogue exchange BTC-e are on the move again. Chainalysis, an American blockchain analysis firm headquartered in New York City, is reporting that 10,000 BTC, worth about $165 million, have been transferred.
The destination of the transactions are personal wallets, exchange deposit addresses and other services. Remarkably, the transfer is the largest withdrawal since April 2018.
BTC-e was a crypto exchange that was founded in July 2011 and shut down in 2017 as a result of a joint investigation by the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI. According to the allegations, BTC-e was instrumental in laundering money for ransomware attacks.
As NewsBTC reported, security researchers estimated that BTC-e was responsible for 95% of all ransomware payments and their conversion into fiat currencies.
Russian citizen and co-founder of BTC-e, Alexander Vinnik, was also allegedly involved in the theft of 530,000 of the more than 800,000 Bitcoin stolen from Mt. Gox. After serving two years in prison in France, Vinnik was extradited to the U.S. in August.
As Chainalysis notes, BTC-e still held a significant amount of Bitcoin at the time of its shutdown in 2017. In April 2018, BTC-e moved more than 30,000 Bitcoin from its service wallet. About $50 million of that went to the now-sanctioned OTC counter Suex.
BTC-e Fraudster About To Dump Their Bitcoin?
Since then, the fraudulent exchange’s masterminds had been relatively quiet. Only in October 2021, BTC-e sent over 100 Bitcoin worth more than $6 million to personal wallets and eventually to several exchanges “that service Russia and other Eastern European countries,” according to Chainalysis.
Yesterday’s transaction appears to be the tip of the iceberg and a longer-planned move. The fraudsters of BTC-e began withdrawing cryptocurrencies as early as a month ago. On Oct. 26, both BTC-e and its successor exchange WEX sent small amounts of Bitcoin to Webmoney, a Russian electronic payment service.
Then, on November 11, BTC-e conducted a test by indirectly transferring 100 Bitcoin to an exchange. After seemingly being successful, BTC-e pulled of yesterdays big move.
Chainalysis concluded that approximately 9,950 Bitcoin are remaining in personal wallets of the fraudsters, “while the rest was moved through a series of intermediaries to four deposit addresses at two large exchanges. In the case of Exchange 1, depicted above, our analysis suggests a Russian exchange may have served as an intermediary to launder this BTC-e money”.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju confirmed that the BTC originate from the criminals linked to the 2014 Mt. Gox hack. “They sent 65 BTC to Hitbtc a few hours ago, so it’s not a gov auction or anything,” he said. Ju urged the exchange to suspend the account due to suspicious activity.
7-year-old 10,000 $BTC moved today.
No surprise, it’s from criminals, like most of the old Bitcoins. It’s the BTC-e exchange wallet related to the 2014 Mt. Gox hack.

Thus, in the short term, the BTC-e fraudsters do not appear to be a threat, as they are once again only dumping smaller amounts of BTC. The Bitcoin price, meanwhile, is struggling with the crucial resistance at $16,000 USD.
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) continued to trade muted on Thursday evening after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated on Wednesday it will likely increase interest rates as soon as March.
However, some of the knockoff coins are seeing strong gains, with Rogue Doge (CRYPTO: ROGE) up almost 73% during the past 24 hours to $0.00000000001825.
What Happened: Rogue Doge has gained more than 71% against Bitcoin and also surged 74% against Ethereum.
Rogue Doge, In Numbers:
- 24-Hour Performance: +72.6%
- 7-Day Performance: +38.0%
- 30-Day Performance: -46.2%
- YTD Performance: -61.8%
For comparison, Dogecoin is down 1.2% during the past 24 hours, trading at $0.1399 at press time. Shiba Inu, the self-described “Dogecoin killer,” has risen 0.9% over the 24-hour period to $0.00002083.

Why It Matters: Rogue Doge says it is a native crypto asset for the twin Rogue decentralized (DeFi) tokens — Roge and Proge — and was launched on the Ethereum mainnet in April 2021.
The coin says its native utility token will be used for purchases of real world products and digital services in the store.
Don’t let the tax scare you from #Proge.
Those tokenomics are fantastic and the #Roge B&B brings hype right back to the Ecosystem.
Remember, $Proge feeds our Ecosystem, this benefitting $Roge more than just through tokenomics.#StrongerTogether #DeFi #Community#Crypto #Eth pic.twitter.com/czK5KGZfxn
