Overview
Boss Planet is a virtual world sold as land: a map of 129,600 numbered plots, the minted ones held as digital collectibles with a single owner1. A plot is a fixed address on a shared map, held in the owner's wallet, rather than a game to log into. Each plot measures 100 metres by 100 metres and sits in one of nine districts, every district carrying its own landscape and a themed centre1.
Boss Planet comes from Boss Cat Rocket Club, the group behind the Boss Cats and BCRC Rockets collections2. The plots, and a companion set of blocky avatars called Vox Cats, are NFTs on Cardano: items whose ownership is written to a public record anyone can check13. A mobile game, Boss Moon, is published separately on the iOS App Store4.
Key Features
- Every plot has an address you can search. The project's interactive map takes an X and Y coordinate, written in the form 26, -12, and shows you the parcel it belongs to5.
- A neighbour search for joining plots together. Enter a coordinate and the map returns the lots beside it, so an owner can work out which parcels would combine theirs into a larger estate5.
- Nine districts, each with a themed centre. The published plan gives one district a stadium and a race track, another a shopping megacomplex, another a business quarter for financial services, and one over to game development1.
- Avatars reserved for the parent collection's holders. Vox Cats are offered to Boss Cat Rocket Club holders as a counterpart to the cat they already own3.
- A free mobile shooter.4 Boss Moon puts you in control of a pixelated cat-shaped robot in deathmatch battles, with several modes, weapons, and maps, plus a ranking system and a leaderboard6.
What to Expect
The website is mostly descriptive pages wrapped around an interactive map and a wallet area. The interactive map runs on desktop browsers, since its search is switched off on phones for performance5. The wallet area offers a connect interface for Eternl or Nami.
Much of the world is written up as a design rather than as something to use. A no-code building toolkit for placing objects and game mechanics on a plot is described on the lands page and marked as awaiting further detail1. The marketplace page sets out a store for community-made content and labels it as coming soon7. The token page argues for an in-world currency without naming one8, and the roadmap lists dated milestone headings after the first land sale, none of them marked delivered9.
Boss Moon is the piece that stands on its own. The iOS build comes from the App Store4; the Android build is offered as a file downloaded straight from the project's site rather than through a store6.
Community runs through Boss Cat Rocket Club's own X and Discord channels rather than accounts belonging to Boss Planet2. The about page sets out the roles behind the project and names the basketball player Baron Davis, founder of the NFT venture More Than Us, as its brand ambassador2.
