Please Note: As we expand and ramp up development this section will be updated as needed with more detail. These are some of our core ideas and we don't want to stray to far from our vision
Candyland Carnage, powered by blockchain technology, features a rich and dynamic in-game economy designed to enhance player engagement and ensure true ownership of assets. The game's token, Sugarcane (SUG), plays a central role in this economy.
In Candyland Carnage, creating and customizing assets is a huge part of the fun. Here's how it works:
Characters: Players can create unique characters with special skills and abilities. These characters are minted as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), making each one unique and owned by the player. Besides the generic characters, there's an exclusive NFT collection of 9,887 unique characters that players can use in the game, alongside external NFT collections.
Equipment and Items: Crafting powerful weapons, magical armor, and other items using in-game resources is essential. These items are also tokenized, so players can trade, sell, or upgrade them.
Land Plots: Players can buy landpasses through the blockchain to own unique land plots. These plots can be customized and used for various activities like resource harvesting, production, item crafting, and trading with other players. Different plots have different resources based on their location and environment, making each one unique.
Managing resources effectively is key to success in Candyland Carnage. Here’s what players need to know:
Common Resources: Basic materials like sugarcane, chocolate chunks, and marshmallow fluff are used for everyday crafting and building.
Rare Resources: Unique items like crystalized candy shards are needed for high-level crafting and special projects.
Harvesting: Players gather resources from their land plots and by exploring the game world. Harvesting can be automated with the right structures or done manually for a more hands-on approach.
Production Cycles: Different resources have different production cycles, so players need to plan and manage their land effectively to get the most out of it.
Trading in Candyland Carnage is straightforward and secure, thanks to blockchain technology. Here’s how players can trade:
Marketplace: A decentralised marketplace where players can list and trade their NFTs, including characters, items, and land. All transactions use the in-game currency, Sugarcane (SUG).
Peer-to-Peer Trading: Players can trade directly with each other, setting their own terms without any middlemen.
Auction House: For rare and valuable items, players can use the auction house. Here, players bid using Sugarcane, and the highest bidder wins.
Our monetization strategy is designed to be fair and player-friendly, ensuring a sustainable game environment.
Token Economy (Sugarcane - SUG): Sugarcane is the main in-game currency. Players earn it through gameplay, completing quests, and participating in events. It can also be purchased with real-world money, providing a revenue stream for the game.
Staking and Rewards: Players can stake their Sugarcane tokens to earn rewards, giving the tokens real-world value and integrating them deeply into the game’s economy.
NFT Sales and Royalties: We generate revenue through initial sales of character NFTs, rare items, mounts and land plots. Additionally, we earn a small royalty from every secondary market transaction, ensuring ongoing income.
Subscription and Battle Passes: Players can opt for premium subscriptions or purchase battle passes. These offer exclusive content, faster progression, and additional rewards, providing recurring revenue while enhancing the player experience.
In-Game Advertising and Sponsorships: Partnering with brands for in-game ads and sponsored events creates additional revenue. These ads are smoothly integrated into the game to keep the experience immersive.
Additionally, we want to implement a dual game economy to enhance player experience. Here’s how it works:
Non-NFT Holders: Players without NFTs can join our games and make in-game purchases, which will be locked to that specific game. They will have the opportunity to mint wearables at a later date if they decide to join the Web3 world!
NFT Holders and Wallet Owners: These players will enjoy all the perks available to non-NFT holders, with the added benefit of using their purchases across all our games.
By running a dual game economy, we ensure that Web2 players are not excluded and can fully enjoy our games while getting a taste of the Web3 world. This approach helps grow our player base over time and ensures the long-term sustainability of Candyland Carnage.
By integrating blockchain technology and leveraging the strengths of a decentralized economy, Candyland Carnage offers a dynamic and engaging in-game economy. This setup enhances the gameplay experience and empowers players with true ownership and multiple ways to earn and trade within the game.
