SHIBA TALES: LIGHT PAPER

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Shiba Tales is an in-browser dance-to-earn blockchain video game, where players can assemble, collect, discover, equip, and trade Radical Dance Moves (RDM for short) onto one of 10 shiba inu avatars.

$BAILÉGO is the token required to pay for transactions on the Infinity Triangle--a multi-dimensional, sentient starship stranded in space. $BAILÉGO is the love language of the ship and the mode of communication between it and the shibalings. "Dancergy" (dance energy) produces $BAILÉGO, which the shibas use to maintain and improve the ship, and propel it slowly across the universe.

The shibalings are looking for the ultimate fuel source for the ship, which lies at the very far edges of space in a galaxy known as GM-420; since dogs cannot fly spaceships they must rely on the player to help them.

At its current state, Shiba Tales exists in 3 NFT collections on Kusama that will grant future game utility for players:

• Shibamoji: Shiba emoji NFTs (Unlimited Edition)
• Shibanners: Profile banners (Unlimited Edition)
• Shibits: Profile avatars (Unlimited Edition)

While we are currently in our infancy stages, Shiba Tales has very lofty goals of becoming Kusama's entertainment engine, and a household brand name beyond the blockchain:

• in AR comics
• in livestreamed metaverse concerts
• in fashion, toys, and animated music videos
• in dance fitness

LOOKING AHEAD

The starmap lacks certain critical milestones that merit future investigation:

• Dance battles between other players
• $BAILÉGO Moonriver/Shidren integration with defi opportunities
  • Create real tokenomics
  • Establish a permanent economy for the Shiba Tales universe
  • Currently have 10k $BAILÉGO tokens on Statemine, with no real monetary value
  • Etymology: from the spanish word Baile/Bailar for dance and the japanese word Go for language
  • Pronounced buy légo
• "Choose your own adventure"-style everything
• Staking
• Improved OKRs (objectives and key results)
• In-brower scoring via machine learning/artificial intelligence
  • Zumba is probably the only other company that we know which uses this technology
  • Have spoken with AI experts who say this is all in the realm of possibility
  • Merits further research
  • We envision that the added dance interactivity will reward players with
    • improved scoring
    • $BAILÉGO tokens
    • "dancercise"
• Play-to-Earn
• Brand expansion
• Future RDMs
