8th of March 2022 2PM UTC TELEGRAM
Why did the team choose to develop a Game? and then…. Why a farm game?
We want to choose a game that is accessible to the community, suitable for many ages and occupations, even non-professional gamers can participate in. Therefore, Farm Me was created to bring a more differentiated experience to a wider audience.
So what is the biggest difference between Farm Me and traditional farm games? Players in a traditional farm game often participate in farming, breeding, harvesting,... But Farm Me also develops a battle element in the game, allowing players to participate in the combat to earn more items. products and can form Guilds to fight together.
Farm Me is known as a farm game. How does the farm game genre attract players, can you tell us about some incentives?
FarmMe is not your traditional farming game. FarmMe is your first Fantasy Metaverse experience.
First: the game is pre-built from the beginning in the Metaverse. The map is created with broad and unlimited segments for gamers to keep exploring every day. In addition to farming, gamers can go fishing, logging, mine ore, hunt monsters, with different addicting minigames. Gamers can also make friends, chit-chat, attend festivals, shoppings together, traveling, driving, start their own business, and even more. With the Builder feature, you can build your own house or create your own art. This is an opportunity for artists and content creators to make money. The options are limitless.
Second: the Hire & Work feature:
Farm Me is a job platform where everyone can play and earn real money.
● The investors: invest and employ. You can directly list the jobs and make a profit
● The game player: apply for jobs from the investors to make side income
This feature aims to solve problems that other GameFi(s) are facing which helps FarmMe gain traction and attract more players from other traditional games.
Third: Farm Me Community Fund (FMCF):
The FMCF aims to support CSR projects such as environmental, cultural values projects through game activities and events.
Lastly:Unlimited fame features expansion
The limitless island expansion will create more than enough space for gamers. The community can also vote to open a new MAP to increase gamers' experience.
Some people say that the game-fi trend is over. Do you agree? Do you still think that there are still big opportunities in the game-fi field? ………. How do you plan to achieve that?
It may be true for a GameFi that has no gameplay depth, simply click to earn, and wrong for a game that is well invested and GameFi's trend has only just begun.
> To become a successful Gamefi project, the game must simultaneously meet two factors: Entertainment and Making Money. Currently, there are many titles that only focus on making money like Click To Earn games, which means that players do not need to learn about Gameplay to win but still earn money.
> However, when the gamefi trend is almost over, such games will be saturated and purged from the market. Only games that are really entertaining, attracting players from Gameplay and graphics can keep the number of visitors continuously and for a long time. Players must put in time and wisdom to conquer all the levels in the Game.
> With Farm Me, players will have great experiences in both entertainment and making money thanks to vivid and equally cute 3D fantasy graphics. From the difference in thinking and orientation of the Farm Me team, it is certain that this game has capabilities and opportunities to spread worldwide.
> In addition, we also build a Game platform - called G-INFA...Through G-INFA, different games can share resources, with different storylines and different missions in the same Universe, or together create new exciting games/minigames/events.
Why did you choose NEAR when most games are built on other networks like BSC/Polygon?
NEAR is one of the biggest Backers of Farm Me currently. When we cooperate with NEAR, we receive tremendous financial and technical support. Some people think that choosing NEAR when most games are built on BSC is a mistake. But NEAR's AURORA platform solved most of the system and user problems. Aurora takes advantage of the NEAR Protocol features such as gas fee remuneration and sharding.
> Aurora fees are 1,000 times lower than Ethereum e.g. token transfer fee in ERC-20 on aurora is <0.01$ while for Ethereum around 5.4$...
> Conduct thousands of transactions per second, 50 times more than Ethereum 1.0
> Because of inheriting from NEAR protocol, Aurora conducts transactions with 1 block confirmation time of only 2s which is significantly lower than 13s in Ethereum...
The difference is that Aurora can be used directly on Metamask or Trust wallets. And this is one of the most popular wallets today, the switch to Aurora also aims to create convenience and ease of use in buying and selling nft, tokens for gamers.
At the same time, it will be easy to recruit more players who already have the above wallets without too much education.
5- Can you elaborate the Farm Me roadmap and talk about upcoming events?
The upcoming events you don't miss it:
- Official INO: 12th Mar
- Official game launch: 15th Mar with Farming version ( release Android version at the end of Mar as well)
We are continuously adding new features to increase the enjoyment factor in the game. We will release an updated version of the game later in the year to include many added improvements by the official game and IDO schedule later.
Furthermore, Farm Me will distribute the rewards by NEAR token once the ranking features are released on the official version.
For example, more NFTs will be added, VR capability (3/4 Qt 2022). In the long term, we look forward to utilizing built-in G-INFA infrastructure to add more games to our Metaverse. In addition, we are exploring adding popular brands into the game (through fees/staking of Fame token).
