The questions from community question part.
Q1. 2D and 3D are two completely different genres of games and items, and they also target different audiences. So why does Mech Master focus on developing both 2D and 3D products? And in the future, will it fully transition to 3D?
Ron Ng: Great, thanks for the question. However, there are some misunderstanding here as Mech Master is a 3D game when release. However, yes, in the begining, all these 3D characters were designed in 2D first, so that we can start doing rendering into 3D.
Let me grab some exclusive graphic that only happen for this AMA today
here was how we draft up one mecha
and to here
and then 3D rendering as you can see in this video
https://web.telegram.org/z/progressive/msg-1382901601-47126
it’s generally how we develop 1 characters and it usually takes us 1–2 months to make 1 from 2D to 3D, then some more time for animation and stuffs.
Q2. I saw that “Tournaments” was mentioned in the activities of MechMaster, which attracted me very much. Have you already planned to hold it? Can you share its holding time, form and reward?
Ron Ng: This tournament is a part of our play to win in Mech Master. Basicly, players form a team from 3–5 Mechas, then they can bring their army into battles to win $MECH tokens. So, PVP battles is mainly 1 VS 1. However, we want the token pool bigger so that player can earn more in a quicker way, we apply the idea of tournaments. It’s a play-off battles until find the only winner in the final match.
The final $MECH token can earn x10 to x20 compared to PVP 1VS1 originally.
Q3. Blockchain games linked to NFT + metaverses and lands have become trending in the crypto space today as they have survived and grown exponentially in the face of the market decline with profitable models for users. So how profitable is #MechMasterNFT gameplay?
Ron Ng: Yes, Mech Master NFT gaming is potentially profitable. That’s of course of the first thing we had to be sure before starting the project. But I said “potentially” which means there are chance that we still get loss and losing our investment.
why is that? Mech Master is an expensive game. If you look at some of the graphic I provided, it’s not that 2D or pixel gaming you’ve seen on Blockchain games in general. If we don’t have players love and support our games, we’ll lose for sure.
You might just see the games that survive, but as far as I concern, the rest (up to 70%) had been long gone because the lack of players and bad in-game economic.
Regarding to profit, it will come from NFT sales and the marketplace, also we’ll do cross chain to maximize our profit to develop the game further, put aside the token sale.
Q4. Nearly 80% of investors only focus on short-term token price instead of understanding the real value of the project. Can you tell us the motivations and benefits for investors to hold your tokens in the long term?
Ron Ng: This was our biggest concern when talking to VCs regarding to their investment into our project. Beside what they can provide us on supports in term of maketing and strategy, we also want to find long time partners who don’t just take the advantage of token price after IDO.
So what we did was explain clearly our plan and showed them our vision in development, not just Mech Master, but the whole Mirai Studio as we don’t just want to be with them for 1 project. Mech Master is all just the first step and we still have long way to go. Of course, it’s not enough to judge everything by some calls, we also ask around in our network to make sure we choose the right partners.
At the end of the day, trust needs to be provided, not just from us, also from any investors involving in Mech Master. And till now, we’re happy with our decisions so far.
Q5. The crypto industry is a fast-paced industry, how flexible is your Project to change quickly and keep pace with technology trends? What is your long-term vision for the forecasting industry in which the your Project project operates?
Ron Ng: Yes, we get it. Like even with the NFT gaming, it might be out of trend in months, not talking about years. We can’t say that we are flexible with everything but we can be sure that we’re very adoptable in terms of strategy and technical.
As I mention, we are not just Mech Master, we are Mirai Studio, backed by a group of people who passionate about decentralized tech. Beside Mech Master, we have 3 more projects in pipeline will get rolling in Q2 2022 and there is only 1 game. We believe in the long run, decentralized tech will play major part in tech in general and we already have some killer ideas to be executed to be a killer product of Mirai Studio.
Q6. From where you get your project name? What is the main motivation behind your project? do you have any story to share?
Ron Ng: It happen nearly a year ago. Mech is a common name for things that relating to mechanic, robot with moving parts. And Mech Master is the name that we want our Mechas rule it all. Mecha is the name we call our robots in the game.
The idea of the game is from Gunpla culture which is originally from Japan. Have you heard of Gundam? It’s on of the most popular character in Gunplan culture and people spend a lot of money to own these characters’ figures.
Tks to blockchain, we can make it happen in digital as NFT forms of our Mecha can meet all that. We also apply AR tech so that players can take selfie with their Mechas. It’s so cool, we’re gonna release the demo to you guys to try right in next month.
Q7. How strong is your team? Many projects starts with good impression and later abandoned the project. What makes your project different than others?
Ron Ng: We didn’t start this project yesterday. We started it 9 months ago and we started to raise fund only 1 and half month ago. And when the game is fully released in Q1–2022, that already takes us more than 1 year to work on the game.
This to let you know that if we plan to abandon, it wouldn’t take that long and we already spent our founder’s fund to develop the project. When we talked to investors, we didn’t just talk on paper. We showed them the progress and our done work.
And it takes that long due to the complication of fully 3D rendering characters we want to put in game. And one of our unique point is also the full ecosystem that will not just only please gamers or traders, also gamers who trade.
Our ideas on paper are crazy. We want our Mechas is assembled from 100+ different parts, which is exactly as in Gunpla. However, it’s just impossible to bring it into the game as it would complicate everything a thousand times. So, the first version you’ll see the Mechas are more of a whole robot and you get them into the game. However, we don’t give up yet. We still have plan to allow users assembling parts to build their own Mechas, but it will be in a future version.
Q8. I am an EXPERIENCED DEVELOPER AND ETHICAL HACKER, do you have plans for HACKATHON so as to check the security of your ecosytem periodically and also invite developers to build?
Ron Ng: No, till now, we don’t have any plan like hackathon but your suggestion is great. I will talk to my team and have this event run after the game fully release. Yes, we need you guys support on security as well.
Mech Master has good people working on it but it’s never enough to get you guys supports so that we can make the game better, meet you guys expectation and improve the product daily.
End of AMA.
Let’s witness the future of Mech Master !
