Why I am optimistic about Bigtime?
First of all, let’s analyze the word Gamefi, game + defi. The meaning of game is mainly fun, and it must also be fun, which is very important. A good game can drive the interest of the player, bring the thrill of winning the game or the sadness of failure. In the process of the game mobilize the player’s emotions, players produce tension and excitement, and secrete a lot of dopamine, attracting players to continue. DeFi has the ability to make gains from it!
But last year GameFi fired up the main reason is only “Fi”. I did not feel the “Game”, so all the Gamefi is currently going downhill! Anyway, when I choose the project of Gamefi, I think “Game” and “Fi” are equally important, as a chain tour, the innovation point is in fi, if in the premise of a good “Game” and a good “Fi” model, I believe Gamefi will be able to extent and attract more and more people to join!
For now, chain tour really needs a game that can stand up, so I went on a big search to find a game that meets my heart’s expectations, and a few games caught my eye:
First, let’s start with the first game. I believe you are already familiar with it, its name is BigTime. I call it great times. This is a multiplayer action role-playing game, and the official version of the game is completely free. The preview of the game demo, provided by the team, has very beautiful picture quality.
All of their tokens are generated in-game, ensuring a fair go-fi for players. the team expects to open the first batch of tests this year in April. The game can be played in single and multiplayer groups (up to 6 players) and randomly generated terrain with matchmaking monsters, which greatly increases player playability.
Way to enter in the early stage
For the beta version of the game, you need to hold the corresponding NFT tickets to enter. The early gold, silver, emerald card has been up to dozens of times. For the uncertainty of the unknown game, the current purchase of gold cards, the risk is still relatively high, so DYOR. If you are more inclined to game, and have abundant funds, then the trial game is also a good choice!
SPACE NFT
Starting March 5, BigTime has opened a new round of Space NFT sales. Space NFT has an important place in the game, and players can use or rent their Space NFT in-game to have Exalted and Mythic space to have enough slots to upgrade to the highest level of timekeepers, furnaces and armories. Hourglasses, armor, and weapons are some of the items that result from these upgrades. It is likely that only a small percentage of rare SPACE holders will produce NFTs in the early days, making them an important cornerstone of the creator’s economy.
The team and investors
Big Time Studios has recruited an all-star team from the gaming industry including Epic Games, Blizzard, EA, and Riot. Personally speaking, we have contributed to some of the most popular franchises in gaming history, including Fortnite, God of War, Call of Duty, and Overwatch, to name a few.
Among them, Bigtime CEO: Ari Meilich and CMO: Thor Alexander both worked at meta-universe blue-chip game Decentraland where the former served as CEO and the latter as VP, and its CTO: Matthew Tonks, who also worked as a software engineer at world gaming giant EA.
Big Time Studios is in the midst of a $21 million funding round to bring non-forgeable tokens (NFT) to the largest gaming economy. The funding is in two parts: FBG Capital and a $10.3 million round led by North Island Ventures, Digital Currency Group, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, Alameda Research, Circle Financial and Ashton Kutcher’s Sound Ventures Big Time Studios is also working on an $11 million fund that will be used to invest in game companies using its technology.
From the team’s perspective, the lineup is luxurious and the members are all veterans from big game studios, and I believe only veteran gamers who really like games can make a good game. But I can’t give a super high rating until the game is tested, it’s obviously irresponsible. This game obviously has great hope to meet the standard of players to play, looking at its overall strengths!
Let’s talk about the second game: Aurory, which is a tabletop game based on Solana’s God’s perspective play to earn and NFT.
Aurory is a game that Solana has high hopes for, where players can pick up and complete quests or play pvp and pve game modes, and earn $Aury and ITEM rewards from them.
General Ecological Model:
At the beginning of the game, players can choose a tactician and 3 nefties for 3v3 turn-based grid combat. The tactician can arrange the nefties in the grid position and in different arrangements, making the nefties play a different combat effect. According to the player’s operation, each neftie can execute a move and skill release, until all the opponent’s nefties are down, then the round is won!
NFT:
With over 150,000 concurrent minters, Aurorian NFT sales are one of the most anticipated NFT sales on Solana. Aurorians act as early backers’ avatars, and each Aurorian NFT is a unique in-game character with a long list of exclusive perks and benefits. Currently in the NFT platform solanart has been up to 600K$SOL volume, and the floor price is also up to 39.9SOL. Whether used as FPF, or future applications in the game, Aurorian NFT in the SOL chain still occupies a certain seat!
Note: Aurorian NFT holders have an advantage over ordinary players in terms of rewards, but the competitive fairness of the game will not be affected!
