Our vision
Black Snow is a game that rewards players for the time and effort they spend both playing the game and growing the ecosystem. We provide a player-friendly, real money economy. In order to create a healthy market, Black Snow invites players to create unique in-game goods that cannot be obtained in any other way, thereby making the player a full-fledged participant in the ecosystem. Game resources and items must be tokenized. This approach allows us to declare the ownership of the players and give them the opportunity to freely dispose of their property.
Play and Earn
Typically, play to earn games focus on earning while gameplay fades into the background. We want to create a game where gameplay comes to the forefront and is unique to the players but at the same time the player will be able to monetize his in-game time. Black Snow provides interesting gameplay with cinematic large-scale AR which allows players to come back and play more to earn more.
Traditional PvE in play to earn games is very monotonous and focused on token farming and does not bring much fun to players. We offer a completely different concept where PvE farming is seen as a grind which is necessary to improve and create new weapons and fleet.
We are planning to build Black Snow around PvP battles so the main player’s income comes from this mode, which, using the betting model, gives players a sense of competition and excitement.
Moreover, PvE and PvP are not the only ways to get the rewards.
Players will be able to get an additional income from next mechanics:
- Operations on a Marketplace (sell and rent their digital assets)
- Quests (earning parts of implants)
- Missions (earning one time use assets)
- Breeding (give an opportunity to create unique NFTs)
- Crafting and upgrading (create new or enhance NFT)
