Crimson Fate

Crimson Fate is a fully on-chain roguelike built on Starknet, featuring dynamic combat, provable loot, and agentic NPCs.

A. Pre-Reignite Project Position

Prior to Reignite, Crimson Fate had launched its Closed Beta with core dungeon mechanics, on-chain progression, alchemical power-ups. The game was already operating as a pixel-art roguelike on Starknet testnet, featuring real-time, wave-based combat.

B. Reignite Development Focus

During Reignite, our primary focus was twofold:

• Ship Crimson Fate into Open Beta with a fully on-chain game loop, inventory system, and seasonal leaderboard

• Launch and integrate Lord Valor — a fully on-chain agentic NPC designed to automate core gameplay loops (dungeon farming, loot trading) and execute logic and responses on-chain via programmable behavior.

C. Key Development Milestones

i. Agent Loot Negotiation System (LIVE)

• Players send Lord Valor into multi-hour dungeon runs (2h, 4h, 8h) using energy.

• Valor clears dungeons autonomously and returns with a sealed loot bag.

• He reveals item rarities, but not stats.

• Players must pay or negotiate to claim the loot.

• Lowball offers trigger rejection or cooldown.

• The negotiation logic is fully on-chain, powered by @daydreamsagents Chain-of-Thought reasoning and executed using programmable response trees.

• Outcome: deployed in Open Beta on May 22th, 2025

ii. Bribery System with On-Chain VRF Integration (LIVE)

• Players may bribe Lord Valor mid-run to reduce dungeon duration.

• Valor evaluates the bribe using his agent logic, and executes a VRF call to determine time reduction.

• The outcome is recorded on-chain, combining AI-driven reasoning with VRF-powered randomness.

• Outcome: live and functional on Starknet testnet on May 22th, 2025

iii. On-Chain Transaction Execution (LIVE)

• Lord Valor autonomously initiates and executes:

  • Dungeon run registration

  • Loot bag claim

  • Bribe resolution

  • Blindbag reveal

• Every core interaction is verified, enforced, and recorded on Starknet

iv. Agent-Controlled Leaderboard Tracking (In Progress)

• Lord Valor is being extended with the ability to track player leaderboard rankings and respond with in-character dialogue, reward triggers, or milestone reactions.

• This system will allow the agent to respond to player performance autonomously, reducing the need for manual reward distribution logic
