The Ducks Are Flying Higher

A year and a half ago, we created DUCK × MY × DUCK as a game inside Telegram.

Since then, the project has grown a lot. We now have a large amazing community, new collections, events, tournaments and, most importantly, players who come back to the game every day.

From the very beginning, we wanted to build not just a Web3 mechanic or a short gaming experiment, but a full game: with progression, competition, collecting, an in-game economy and a living community.

Today, we are preparing the next big step: the mobile version of DUCK × MY × DUCK.

For the game, this is an important stage. App Store, Google Play and other platforms open the game to a new audience, new growth opportunities and a path for Ducks to become not only one of the biggest games in Telegram, but a full international gaming product.

At the same time, Telegram remains our key platform.

We are grateful to Telegram for the opportunity to create a new kind of game directly inside a messenger. DUCK × MY × DUCK has shown that Telegram can host not only simple mini apps, but real game worlds where players engage, collect, compete, communicate and grow together with the project.

Launching in the App Store, Google Play and on other platforms will help take the project to the next level and make the game less dependent on the availability of a single platform.

Launching on mobile platforms means that we must comply with App Store and Google Play requirements.

These platforms have strict requirements for apps connected to crypto, and direct TON rewards in the main gameplay loop, in their current form, are not compatible with them. That is why, in order for DUCK × MY × DUCK to launch in the stores, we are rebuilding the game economy.

Instead of direct TON rewards in the new gameplay loop, we are introducing a broader progression system: Ducky Gold, Ducky Gods and collectible NFTs. Rewards for existing collections in Telegram are not changing.

Ducky Gold will become an in-game resource that will gradually take the place of direct TON rewards in the base gameplay loop. It will be used to obtain Ducky Gods.

We plan to gradually add ways to earn Ducky Gold through future Gold Rushes, collections and events, and to use it in new gameplay mechanics.

Ducky Gods will become a new top layer of progression in DUCK × MY × DUCK. They may be useful for long-term gameplay, participation in events and unlocking new opportunities inside the game.

Players will be able to collect them, develop them, strengthen them with ducks and use them in game mechanics to receive bonuses.

TON remains an important part of our strategy.

Ducky Gods will also exist as unique collectible NFTs, and we plan to connect them with the TON ecosystem and make them available on Getgems.

Ducks, collections, events and strategic account development remain the core of the game. We are not removing this foundation. We are expanding it through new mechanics and collectible in-game NFT Ducky Gods.

Our goal remains the same: to make DUCK × MY × DUCK a landmark game that shows that good games and Web3 do not have to get in each other’s way, but can strengthen each other in strong, alive and truly engaging products.

We have already managed to do this in Telegram.

Now we are moving forward: to mobile platforms, to a new audience and to the next big stage of development for Ducks.

Thank you to everyone who has been with us from the very beginning.

We are grateful to our experienced players who understand DUCK × MY × DUCK well and form the foundation of our community.

Many new players will join us in the future, and we hope that active members of the community will help them understand the game faster and become part of Ducks.

We continue building DUCK × MY × DUCK together with you.
