# S1 - A Present Glimpse

As the owner of an ***AXIS*****&#x20;ARC-Forge** (or **ARC**), you will fabricate various randomized NFT mechanical Alloy Parts. How far you take the NFT Parts and what you do with them is entirely up to you.

{% hint style="info" %}
*In S1, what these parts are and what they are for is necessarily unknown. The quest is to successfully build them and manage them.*
{% endhint %}

&#x20;*You can decide between:*

1. **Selling** produced Parts (to the game) to earn the Alloy token $NIOZ
2. **Collecting** NFT Parts to advance in the game

At launch there will be over 200 unique NFT parts available to build, each one belonging to a larger assembly called an [**Alloy Construct**](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/nft-parts/alloy-constructs).

{% hint style="info" %}
*Parts will be periodically (and strategically) discontinued, meaning a given NFT Part will no longer be available and may be replaced with a **Release 2** version of that same part.*

*In S2 (and beyond) earlier Release parts will have increased functionality or more effective application than its successors. In this case, older is better.*
{% endhint %}

Throughout the Alloy Space game you will be frequently incentivized to *part* with your parts. Not only will you receive offers for your NFT Parts at every step of the way, but **Community Missions** ([future release](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/the-future-of-alloy/roadmap-items)) will offer even more for the parts that you have decided to collect into your inventory.

### Simple Game Flow

**Building**, **processing**, **collecting** & **assembling** the NFT Parts is the **S1** game. Players will take entrepreneurial risks or play it safe as a space industrialist - *build up your own inventory or sell your parts to the space giant, Echo-9.*

Each step of the way includes an array of interesting game mechanics and playable actions.
