Please describe your proposed solution.
Conkis is a strategic turn-based tactical game, set in the Middle Ages, where you have 6 types of units available to built your army. The way to prevail in a battle is by capturing the flags, destroying the towers or annihilating your rival. We are big fans of both chess and the Age of Empires saga, the influence of these two games does not go unnoticed.
It is a free game, in which all players can play competitively and fairly against other players without spending any money. It is not a play-to-earn game and of course it is not a pay-to-win game. We intend to design and achieve a competitive and fair game, for any player who wants to enjoy it. In this way, competitive games will be balanced thanks to the free rotation of cards.
But… what are the cards?
This is where Cardano comes into play. Cards are powers that you can use at any time during the game to boost your army or weaken the enemy; there is a wide range of possibilities, healing, protection, increased/reduced mobility, increased/reduced range, increased/reduced damage, the ability to summon special units and even use the forces of nature to your advantage thanks to the … Magic.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
Cards cannot be purchased individually. Players will buy booster packs, and the luck will decide which cards they get.
We will implement CNFTs much as an exchange does. By default, we will have the CNFTs in our custody. Then, the user will be able to Import or Export to their wallet if they wish, so they can trade them in markets like cnft.io.
It is on our roadmap to creating a marketplace. But the fact that players cannot sell their CNFTs or tokens internally at the beginning on Conkis, will motivate them to start learning and getting familiar with the crypto world.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
One of our biggest concerns is the lack of resources to get our idea to as many people as possible, this is one of the main reasons why we made this proposal.
The great challenge before us is to get people to give Conkis a chance, for this we want to differentiate ourselves from other NFT games, since we do not consider ourselves an NFT game in itself. We will use the CNFT added value to a fully functional game, focusing our monetization on this aspect.
On the other hand, we love the idea of having our own token. But we are afraid of ruining the game by having the economy poorly designed. We have closely followed the rise and fall of Axie Infinity, and we understand that the same can happen to us with Conkis if we only approach our game based on the token. We will not launch a token until we are completely sure that it will not affect its philosophy and principles.
