Dogecoin Developer Deploys Classic First-Person Shooter ‘Doom’ on DOGE Network – Here’s How

A Dogecoin (DOGE) developer is powering an old school first-person shooter on the memecoin’s network using “doginals” – the dog-themed asset’s version of Bitcoin (BTC) ordinals.

In a new thread, developer Mini Doge says he’s deployed Doom, a ’90s game that pits players against demons on Mars, using doginals.

Doginals permanently inscribe information on small fragments of DOGE – much like how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and BTC ordinals work.

Doginals were first launched in February 2023 by “ApeZord,” an anonymous user who also created the Woof Wallet, the first-ever doginals wallet.

According to Doginals PEPE, a digital collection of art stored on the DOGE blockchain, Dogecoin is perfect for the culture of crypto art and memes.

“Dogecoin is the most popular POW (proof of work) chain besides Bitcoin. Transaction cost is much more affordable and cost-effective compared to Bitcoin.

Doge naturally came with the meme culture which perfectly matches the culture for crypto art and memes. Therefore, we think there is huge potential for people to collect, create and build on the Dogecoin blockchain.”

Dogecoin is trading for $0.0772 at time of writing, a 2.2% decrease during the last 24 hours.
