This isn’t just about playing, it’s about creating, interacting and owning your in-game assets. Based in Burbank, California, AMGI Studios is blending traditional gaming with Web3 to bring you a fun and immersive experience.
Technology
At the heart of My Pet Hooligan are several innovations. Motion capture allows you to control your avatar in real-time, it’s super realistic. Artificial Intelligence powers the in-game characters, the world feels alive and interactive. Blockchain ensures you own your digital assets. You can buy, sell and trade items with transparency and security, creating a more open and fair gaming environment.
Gameplay and Features
The game is set in the colorful world of Hooliland City where players rebel against the evil overlord MetaZuckBot and his corporation ZuckCorp. After breaking free from captivity the rebellious bunnies, now known as Hooligans, take on various missions to take down ZuckCorp. The game has combat, exploration, social interaction and creative expression.
Game Modes
My Pet Hooligan has three main modes:
Coinpocalypse:
Competitive mode where players hunt for coins by killing each other. Whoever collects the most coins in the time limit wins.
Anarchy:
In this mode players are in a free-for-all battle. The player with the most kills at the end of the match wins. The action is contained in a designated area to keep it fast and intense.
Hang Out:
For those who want to chill out Hang Out mode is an open world where you can explore, skateboard, graffiti buildings or just hang out with friends. This mode is all about socialising and having fun with no objectives.
Factions and Lore
The game has a rich lore. The bunnies were forced to farm Karrots for MetaZuckBot and now they are Hooligans after a successful rebellion.
The Hooligans are divided into 7 factions:
- Bunners are chill strategists who love to relax.
- Mutants are secretive and destructive, survivors of experiments.
- Playboyz are classy and refined, they love the finer things in life and gambling.
- Punk Bunnis are anti-establishment rebels who love music.
- Rogue Jumpers are athletic and competitive, they thrive in brawls and competitions.
- Cypherbuns are tech-savvy hackers who are good at breaking digital defenses.
- Hare Raisers are vandals who hate ZuckCorp.
My Pet Hooligan vs Axie Infinity
My Pet Hooligan and Axie Infinity are two of the top Web3 games, both using blockchain to give players full ownership of their digital assets. But they are very different and appeal to different types of players.
Axie Infinity is a game where you breed, battle and trade fantasy creatures called Axies. It’s all about strategy and in game economy. You earn cryptocurrency by playing and can use that to breed new Axies, sell them on the market or convert to real life money. This game is for those who enjoy strategic combat and interested in the financial side of gaming, it also has created a strong community and economy around these activities.
On the other hand My Pet Hooligan is more about action and social interaction. Set in Hooliland City, players control avatars in real time using advanced motion capture technology which makes the game feel super life like. The game has various modes, competitive battles, open world exploration and social hangouts. This is for players who want a mix of intense action and casual fun.
Both games use blockchain to give players full ownership of in game items but My Pet Hooligan takes it a step further by using AI to make the game world more interactive. Players can create and share their own content using tools like Immi & Hooligram which helps build a creative community around the game.
The story in My Pet Hooligan adds another layer to the game. It’s about a group of rebellious bunnies fighting against MetaZuckBot, an evil overlord. Players join different factions, each with unique abilities and personalities which adds depth to the game. Axie Infinity is more focused on the mechanics of breeding and battling Axies, no story.
Technically both games are advanced in their own ways. Axie Infinity is good at in game economy and play to earn model. My Pet Hooligan is good at motion capture and AI which makes the gameplay more immersive and interactive.
In short, Axie Infinity is for players who enjoy strategy, economic simulation and earning money through gaming. My Pet Hooligan is for those who want action, social interaction and a rich narrative experience. Both are leading the way in Web3 gaming but cater to different tastes and preferences.
User-Generated Content and Community
My Pet Hooligan has a strong focus on user generated content (UGC) and social interaction. AMGI Studios has developed proprietary tools, Immi & Hooligram which allows players to stream and create content as their avatars.
This has built a community of players, collectors and creators who shape the game. The collectibles such as Genesis and Companion characters introduced in 2021 and ZuckBots in 2022 adds value and depth to the community.
