# Gameplay

Pixels is a metaverse and MMORPG for the NFTs you already own. Taking a lot of inspiration from some of our childhood favorites like Stardew Valley and Runescape, Pixels allows you to take your existing NFTs into a play-to-earn game!

## The Vertical Slice Model

We're developing our game using the vertical slice model in order to keep scope in check. The long-term vision of Pixels is to build a game with many interconnected skills, quests, and content to unlock. But in order to keep development timelines realistic and to prove to our stakeholders that we can build and deliver what we're promising, we're fully building out one skill at a time.

Our first skill which we're building out and releasing is Farming!
