+_Starting the game and placing some blocks_
+
+Shroom Kingdom ([GitHub][shrm-github], [Discord][shrm-discord],
+[Twitter][shrm-twitter]) is an upcoming play-to-earn video game built with web
+technologies running on the [NEAR Blockchain][near-blockchain].
+
+Currently a prototype of the game is in development.
+An asset file, that has been extracted from Super Mario Maker 2 game files with an
+[external program][asset-extractor], is loaded inside a browser to start the game.
+The game is written with the [Bevy game engine][bevy]
+and the [Rapier physics engine][rapier] and is compiled to WebAssembly.
+The prototype is still very basic, but you can already place and remove blocks
+and have a feeling about the physics recreation of the original games.
+
+In the past months there also has been the SHRM token launch and a
+[token airdrop][shrm-airdrop] for NEAR early adopters. The [Shroom Kingdom DAO][shrm-dao]
+is looking for people, who want to become involved and get paid with
+their very own token.
+
+To onboard new users to blockchain gaming, a [linkdrop campaign][shrm-linkdrop]
+is currently in development, where people can claim a small amount of
+NEAR token to create their own wallet.
