Introduction to the Deathclock mechanism
Deathclock is a unique system in (Domenation), including a timer, dynamic Dome, and resource management, as well as the common shrinking circle mechanism found in battle royale games.
Health timer system
Players have a visible timer (displayed on the UI) representing their health. Time consumption is faster outside the Dome and slower inside.
Dynamic mechanism of Dome
The Dome will interact dynamically with the environment, forcing players to continuously adapt. Its behavior changes with actions like shrinking and expanding. Players must fight for survival in the Dome's safe zone, with a scoreboard recording each player's rank and kill count.
To manage resources effectively, players need to first collect weapons at weapon generation points and heal at health generation points while fighting with other players, balancing the countdown speed of the health timer.
Introduction to the combat system mode
In Deathclock mode, there are several game phases:
Seizing the Dome: Players' timers consume more slowly inside the Dome, giving an advantage over players outside.
Racing phase: At the start of the match, players need to sprint to seize equipment resources.
Survival elimination: Players must balance time management and combat skills, with the last survivor winning.
In the battle royale mode, players must explore the map to find weapons, ammunition, and consumables needed for survival. While competing against other players, they can also deploy computer-controlled guard NFTs to assist in combat.
The toxic circle in the game is called the 'pulse mechanism,' which releases pulses that can damage or eliminate players. As the match progresses, the number of Domes decreases, and ultimately only one team will win.
