ReWILD! Game to ‘Virtually’ Repopulate the American Great Plains with Cryptocurrency Bison

OMAHA, NE 25 August 2021 - Prior to European encroachment onto the tall grass prairies and short grass plains of the continent, an estimated 30-60 million bison roamed free from Canada to Mexico, the Rockies to the Appalachian and beyond. By 1880, they were nearly all gone but for a handful. While their numbers have recovered somewhat in the last 100 years, they remain but a shadow of what once grazed and transformed the continent.

ReWILD!, an augmented reality mobile game aims to virtually restore those vast herds in their millions by making it both fun and potentially rewarding to capture, raise and trade digital, 3D bison "minted" as non-fungible tokens on the cryptocurrency blockchain.

Project director Bill Moore, explains, "The objective of the game, which you will be able to play on most of today's iOS and Android smart phones, is to try and capture our free-roaming digital bison. If you're fortunate enough to capture one, you'll have the opportunity to raise, breed and then trade them.”

"What's unique about ReWILD! is that we hope to give our each of our digital bison their own machine intelligence so they act and respond like real, living bison." Moore noted that the game's bison will be three-dimensional, animated characters that have their value defined by a proprietary cryptocurrency called a BISONTOKEN™. "These are 'smart contracts' that have the ability to mimic the actions and even, to a certain extent, the growth cycle of these iconic animals.”

The group behind ReWILD! is comprised to US-based professionals in immersive media and augmented reality, as well as video game animators in India who created the digital menagerie of the acclaimed “Internet of Elephants” App. The project’s website just launched at https://rewildgame.toonstech.com.
