Section 2. Game information
About The Game:
It’s a game where you throw spears at targets to earn rewards, the rewards ranging anywhere from free plays to tokens. But to play the game, players must possess the SPEAR NFT.
With a SPEAR NFT, you are allowed to a certain number of free plays based on the NFT rarities, more on this later. However, you are also able to spend $SPEAR to acquire additional throws. There will be rotation of Grand prizes with other projects and game rotations will come in later. Our vision is to have collaboration with all similar projects on the NEAR chain. Imagine their NFT’s giving free games or their tokens as prizes under the same model as SPEAR!
They say the HOUSE always wins but at SPEAR, the community always wins! Because every bought game is a burn! And every burn is a bump in the price of our token!
Briefly Describe your project:
Nice to meet you! I am a sharp and pointy SPEAR, and I live on the NEAR Blockchain. There are far too many wild dragons roaming freely, threatening the safety of the community, and I am here to tame them all!
SPEAR is a revolutionary project featuring a dynamic ecosystem. It is powered by meme, fueled by development, and supercharged by its utilities.
Created by a team of seasoned developers who are passionate blockchain advocates. Our aim is to raid of all evils with our god given spears, to pierce the darkest part of the crypto world. The greed, the fear, the euphoria, and the panic. We’ve seen it all, and we want to do something about it. This purpose of this Whitepaper is to outline the general ideas of the project, its current development, and outlooks. It is by no means a finished paper and it does not pretend to be.
We are here to help spread the message through our memes, brand value, and entertainment.
What is the USP (unique selling point) of your game?
Multi chain capability, addictive simple gameplay, and the power to leverage other projects.
Big plans need big spears! SPEAR game will be the tip of the iceberg, we envision building the most comprehensive entertainment ecosystem beginning with NEAR Protocol. Within our short to medium term plan, we will be releasing numerous games and utilities, these games will incorporate a small amount of other projects’ brand identities and materials. For example, with permission and collaboration plans in place, we will utilize other project’s brand as our bosses. And upon successful defeat said bosses, there might be rewards offered by another project, whether it’d be token or NFTs. Now this cross-project collaboration is just the beginning. The goal is not just NEAR, but EVERYWHERE! We plan on incorporating projects from other chains as well!
