Alright, Shibizens, listen up! There’s a new racing game in town, and it’s not your typical asphalt-and-engine affair. Lap Dogs is here, and it’s bringing the adorable, pixelated world of Shiboshis and Sheboshis to the racetrack. That’s right, we’re talking Shiba Inu-themed characters tearing it up in a high-octane battle for glory.
Before you get your hopes up about full-blown NFT integration, let’s be clear: that’s still “in the pipeline,” which in game dev speak could mean anything from next week to sometime before the heat death of the universe.
But! The devs, a mysterious bunch known only as “Shib Games,” promise that these pixelated pups will be your racers. Apparently, they’ll have “unique personalities” and “paw-some driving skills.”
So, when can you get your paws on this canine karting extravaganza? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? The devs are keeping the release date close to their chests. But when it does drop, it’ll be on PC.
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the Shiba Inu with the NFT-shaped bone. Full NFT integration is the big dream, but it’s still a work in progress. Think of this eventual release as a sneak peek, a chance to get a feel for the game before things get, shall we say, more interesting.
The devs have big plans for when NFTs are fully integrated. We’re talking customizable racers, unique abilities tied to specific Shiboshis and Sheboshis, and maybe even a breeding system to create your ultimate racing champion.
The full potential of these characters will be unleashed, well, SOON. Just like with Shiba Eternity, these beloved characters will be playable.
Look, Lap Dogs has the potential to be a genuinely fun kart racer. It’s got cute characters, the promise of speed, and that undeniable Shiba Inu charm. While the full NFT integration is still a ways off, the core racing experience is on its way.
So, keep your eyes peeled on The Shib, The Shib Daily, and Play with Shib for updates. Or, you know, just keep refreshing the websites until something happens. We won’t judge.
In the meantime, we’re cautiously optimistic. And maybe practicing our karting skills. You never know when those digital dogs will be unleashed.
