What would you get if you combined Clash of Clans & Axie Infinity ???
…enter Heroes of Mavia
I'm a gamer at heart. I'm also a trader & investor.
So blockchain gaming is a match made in heaven for me…
Watching the GameFi / Play2Earn space has become exhausting with numerous projects vying for attention.
For one to stand out so much is very exciting…
What is immediately obvious is that everything is extremely well thought out.
This post is to give a quick overview and then hopefully dig in deeper in subsequent posts.
- The aim is to produce a AAA game
- Art style is Clash of Clans / Pixar combo
- Cross Platform: Desktop Web / Mobile Browsers / iOS & Android Apps
- Huge team already - massive amount of work required for such high ambitions
- Superb Token Model
- Use Ethereum (Arbitrum) L2 & BSC
- NFTs openly tradable in-game and outside the game (eg. OpenSea)
- Small number of top quality VCs
For me all those are ticks in boxes.
NFTs
Just 3 types of NFTs...
Token Model
As a blockchain game - the most important thing is the token model. Too many developers munge NFTs with a game and come up with a mess that either isn't fun or isn't sustainable.
The Heroes of Mavia token model is designed to encourage reinvestment into the game.
The game two game resources (GOLD & OIL) plus two tokens (RUBY & MAVIA)
RUBY - Used INSIDE the game to upgrade NFTs; purchase gold & oil; speedups; skins. Upgrading an NFT permanently adds value to it.
MAVIA - Used OUTSIDE the game buy and sell NFTs, rent bases, staking incentives.
- The model is designed to keep RUBY in the game and enhance the value/desirability of the player's NFTs, game experience, and earning potential.
- New players come into the game on the right-hand-side of the diagram by purchasing an NFT with MAVIA (or ETH on external platforms) which can then be used in the game, enhanced by playing the game & earning RUBY, spending that RUBY to improve the NFT, and eventually leaving the game on the right-hand-side by selling the NFT for MAVIA/ETH.
- Players are encouraged to spend the RUBY in-game - it can be withdrawn on the left-hand-side but are taxed 15%. RUBY entering the game on this side is welcomd back to teh game with a 10% bonus. This is a tactic used by casinos to keep chips in the house.
VCs
There are others but pleased to see some top VCs involved. Vesting periods are fairly long - Team 6 years, Pre-sale VCs 4 years. Future funding will be via land sales in MAVIA - generating demand for the MAVIA token.
Mavia Marketplace
This looks to be an excellent interface to inspect all game activities...
Uses a fimiliar 'etherscan' type interface - all battles can be viewed or replayed, all players activities inspected...
A players complete NFT collection...
Summary
Heroes of Mavia looks a really exciting project and has done so much right already. Combining a super-popular game with a well-thought through token model and some great art. There's certainly loads of ambition. I will be following the project closely...
