I guess everyone has begun to feel the popularity of bigtime. As a 3A blockchain game, it has skyrocketed more than 10 times after it was launched yesterday. Today, it has also driven other blockchain games. Looking at the Binance growth list, half of them are in the blockchain game sector.
Then let’s take a closer look at bigtime.
Bigtime's development team brings together experienced developers from well-known game companies, including those who have participated in the production of popular games such as "Fortnite", "Gears of War", and "Grand Theft Auto". Founder ARI MEILICH is a pioneer in blockchain games and the founder of the Decentraland metaverse platform.
This game is not only supported by a strong development team, but also has sufficient financing. In 2021, they successfully completed a $21 million Series A financing led by FBG Capital, with participation from many well-known investment institutions. In addition, Bigtime also successfully sold $70 million worth of its core virtual asset Space NFT, which was warmly welcomed by the world's top game guilds.
Big Time Studio held two public sales of in-game assets Space NFTs at the end of 2021 and in March 2022. Space NFTs have similar functions to LAND in Decentraland and Sandbox, and their prices range from 299 to 3299 US dollars according to size. The number of Space NFTs sold in the two public sales totaled 60,000, accounting for 10% of the total. The remaining SPACE NFTs will drop as loot, and the drop cycle will continue for several years. The official earned a total of 70 million US dollars by selling 60,000 Space NFTs.
In addition, the official sales of early access VIP passes, movie moment NFTs, exclusive high-concept art, and a mystery box series called "Postcards from Time and Space" generated over 10 million U.S. dollars in revenue.
Closed beta gameplay
Bigtime started closed beta testing on April 19, 2022, and the game was launched on the PC. VIP pass holders can participate in the closed beta testing, and there is a chance of rare NFTs being dropped during the closed beta testing. Players can trade such NFTs on the Openloot market after obtaining them. According to community feedback, European players can get their money back on the spot after getting super rare NFTs during the game.
According to official information, VIP passes are divided into four levels: gold (total 1,000), silver (total 3,000), jade (total 8,000) and ruby (total 16,000). The first three are sold through the secondary market, and the ruby pass is only open to creators, artists and core contributors to the community for free.
The mode of entering the game beta is to enter in batches. Players with Gold Passes will enter the beta first, Silver Passes will enter after five weeks, Emerald Passes will enter after eight weeks, and Ruby Passes will enter on July 14, 2022. The earlier players enter the beta, the higher the chance of obtaining rare NFTs during the game, and some Space NFTs will drop in the game.
In addition to a variety of decorative and utility NFTs within the game ecosystem, the in-game token TIME will be launched at the end of the early access phase. This token is only available in the game and can only be produced through game battles, missions, and dungeons. No investors or employees can receive grants or purchase TIME tokens, and there are no private placements, reservations, etc. Its purpose is to be the main value transfer medium in the game, including purchasing rare or exclusive NFT accessories, speeding up the production time of equipment, and repairing damaged and consumable items.
To generate tokens, players need to hold three NFTs: Space NFT, Time Wardens, and Hourglass. Deploy the Time Wardens NFT on the Space, and then charge the Time Hourglass NFT to drop tokens during the game. The sand in the hourglass will gradually be consumed, and players need to charge the Time Wardens and game tokens to continue using it. The more time hourglasses are operating at the same time, the more game tokens will be dropped.
Bigtime launched the airdrop activity in February 2023, airdropping gift blind boxes to eligible accounts every month, totaling 153,000 utility NFTs, including armories, furnaces, and time guards. The airdrop rules are a point-based system, divided into 5 levels. Players at the same level 1 receive the same airdrop content. Points are composed of asset points and game points. The more Bigtime NFT assets held in the user account, the rarer, and the higher the value, the higher the asset points obtained. Users can obtain game points by completing game copies. When the points meet the requirements, you can get airdrops. Now players can sign up to participate in the internal test to obtain game points to win airdrops.
Preseason Launch
With the launch of the preseason version, the token $TIME will be officially introduced into the game, contributing to the complete economic system with the skin economy as the core. In the previous beta version, players mainly obtained skins through small probability drops in dungeons, but with the addition of the token $TIME, players will have more opportunities to create unique game skins.
