7. Roadmap: Together, We Run Toward a Wilder Future

Q3 2025: The Piglets Are Born — The Run Begins

• Launch on Arbitrum Mainnet

• Minting of the first 10,000 “Genesis Pig NFTs”, each tagged as an Explorer Pig.

• Release of core gameplay: Sausage Factory Escape

• Launch of the “Bug Hunt for $HOG” campaign — players become the first wave of testers.

• Discord community goes live with the first meme contest — turning creativity into game content.

Q4 2025: Cross-Chain Stampede Begins

• Activate Cross-Chain Functionality: support for Ethereum and Polygon players

• Host the first Cross-Chain Pig Championship

• Introduce Seasonal Gameplay: e.g., “Christmas Getaway: Butcher in Santa Suit”, with end-of-season Gold Pig Trophy NFTs for the Top 100 players.

• Launch DAO Governance Interface: Players vote on things like “Spring Festival skin themes,” bringing cultural warmth into the chain-powered carnival.

Q1 2026: The Power of Unity — PvP and Guilds

• Launch PvP Mode: Team-based piggy battles against butcher bosses. Winning teams earn Team Glory NFTs.

• Introduce Guild System: Players can form “Pig Guilds” and complete quests to unlock exclusive guild skins (e.g., Pig Guild Battle Armor).

• Integrate Chainlink Oracles: Real-world weather affects gameplay — rain slows butchers down, sun boosts coin drops. The game starts to interact with the real world in magical ways.

Q2 2026 and Beyond: The Metaverse of Pigs — Borderless Freedom

• Release VR Mode: Immerse yourself fully — hear the butcher’s breath behind you, feel the heat of the chase. Freedom never felt so real.

• Launch the Pig Village Metaverse: Build homes on NFT lands, host online parties, and trade in your own community marketplace.

Transition to Fully Decentralized DAO: The core team steps back into a technical support role. HogRun becomes a self-governed digital civilization.
