Echoes of Cryptalia

Echoes of Cryptalia is an NFT based multimode RPG modeled in hi-bit. It features a deep focus on resource management and game optimization while integrating key crypto financial tools, in particular Gamified Staking, into its core loop. It’s set in an aesthetically unique take on medieval imagination, with the inclusion of striking use of color and sound, curated and generative narrative quest techniques, and incentive-based mechanisms to ensure ecosystem health.

The player represents a Master Tactician from the Council of Echoes, in charge of a local company of military assets to take down Cryptalia, celestially deformed world zones. Master Tacticians, through the implementation of Upgrade Buildings and related game actions in our groundbreaking concept of Gamified Staking, dispose of arbitrary large numbers of possible strategic approaches to complete their goals.

Items can be customized with other staked NFTs. Example mock up.

Gamified Staking, as featured in Echoes of Cryptalia, forwards a key innovation for web3 gaming by achieving, simultaneously, two seemingly disparate goals. On the one hand, it superpowers the use of our native token $ECHO, as it has the in-game use to build Upgrade Buildings by staking (and not spending) the token, bolstering a set up loop for the player to live mint unique NFTs to use for combat optimization or to eventually place in the market. And, on the other hand, Gamified Staking allows us to integrate crypto features in-game, drastically reducing the friction for players that aren’t familiarized with some of the key crypto tools, effectively serving as a democratizing interface for asset management while providing a fun and dynamic experience.

We’re convinced that our proposal not only will appeal to crypto enthusiasts by offering a gaming experience deeply intertwined with blockchain technology, true ownership, and an innovative mechanism for asset management, but also to gamers that won’t have to face intimidating screens any longer and will be able to optimize their assets simply by playing the game and taking game actions. And all of the above, simply by seamlessly staking our token with Pre-Approved Transactions technology and not by spending it.

We have a team of cross-disciplinary, seasoned game developers positioned in every area of the project, from smart contracts to artwork, narrative and game design to economists. But, above all, we are a team that’s focused on providing a fun experience, which is the fundamental reason why we fell in love with videogames and is the key for web3 gaming to grow into the realm of mainstream gamers that haven’t found their place in the current takes on crypto game design.
