5 Key Features of Blockchain Cuties
Decentralized crypto games on Ethereum blockchain are blooming. They provide a fun and easy way to learn about crypto economy and introduce more people to the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Crypto gaming now comprises a notable part of the Ethereum blockchain.
Today we’d like to tell you about some of the features that make Blockchain Cuties so unique.
1. Character Diversity
We believe that all the creatures, fantasy and real ones alike, are beautiful. That’s why we try to make our “zoo” as diverse as possible. You are not forced to play with a single creature type, instead you are free to breed and collect a lot of different animals! At this point, in early beta, puppies, bear cubs, lizards and cats are already available.
What’s more, each species of cuties has dozens of unique representatives inspired by real world pets-celebrities and popular culture!
2. Adventure PvP Mode
Blockchain Cuties has a competitive turn-based mode with roll-the-dice battles. Your cutie competes against cuties of other players or artificial intelligence opponents at various locations. Each location affects battles differently and has a unique loot drop assigned to it. Some locations may randomly increase cutie’s attack or defence stats, some — introduce a miss chance to the battle. After the battle, all cuties receive experience that is required for leveling-up process. Each pet can achieve a maximum of level 5.
3. Usable Items
In adventure mode the winner-cutie gets a chance to receive an item. Items are divided into two groups — wearables and consumables. Wearable artifact can be an item of fashion or provide special bonuses in adventure mode, such as “+1 to dice roll” or “negation of miss chance added by location”. Each cutie has 3 wearable slots — left arm, body/head and right arm and all of them can be used to store an artifact! Wearable items are not just stat modifiers, they affect cutie’s appearance (except for unique cuties) and increase its market price.
Consumable items, e.g. potions, can alter cutie genes to give its owner superpowers, such as ability to change generation, decrease breeding cooldown time and so on. Winning a Nobility potion lets you start a high-born pedigree of noble bloodline cuties.
4. Asset Usefulness
You are the sole owner of all of your cuties and related cryptographic assets, you can trade or transfer them anytime to anyone. All assets are useful, every cutie can be leveled up and geared up, as well as enhanced with potions. You don’t need to get rid of it after it has served its primary purpose — each creature can have his own role!
5. Cost-Efficient Combination of On- and Off-Chain Architecture
One of the current Ethereum’s weak points is its load capacity and crypto gaming hype tends to make this situation even worse. When network is overloaded, single transaction cost grows immensely, so forcing players to record information on blockchain more frequently will make them pay more transaction fees. In Blockchain Cuties all gene and body part related information is encoded as compactly as possible and some features are stored off-chain to minimize the impact game does on Ethereum network.
It’s time of emerging revolutionary technologies, and we invite you to become a part of this exciting trend of the future. Join Blockchain Cuties beta now and experience it for yourself!
