Eden Ever
A Web3 Dungeon Keeper & Crawler Game backed by NFTs
whitepaper v0.0.1
Introduction
Eden Ever, a web3 multiplayer dungeon keeper and crawler game, introduces a captivating online world where the economy thrives on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) generated from in-game loot. The game is designed to foster a fair and dynamic ecosystem, with no pre-minting of NFTs, or perverse incentives.
Game Overview
In Eden Ever, keepers are empowered to construct intricate dungeons with hand crafted levels, monsters, and epic boss encounters. Players embark on dungeon crawls within a engaging multiplayer setting, where dungeons evolve and expand in tandem with player exploration. The acquired loot can be minted as NFTs, creating an intrinsic link between gameplay and the wider NFT marketplace.
Empowering Dungeon Keepers: Fostering a Dynamic Gaming Experience
Eden Ever places immense value on the creativity and dedication of dungeon keepers, acknowledging their pivotal role in shaping the game's landscape. The game's architecture is designed to incentivize and reward dungeon keepers for their ongoing contributions, ensuring a continuous influx of fresh content for players.
Incentivizing Dungeon Upkeep
Dungeon keepers stand at the forefront of the game's evolution. By consistently updating and enhancing their dungeons, they not only elevate their own creations but also contribute to the overall diversity and excitement of the game. To encourage this, Eden Ever implements a rewarding system where dungeon keepers receive incentives for maintaining and updating their dungeons.
Player Engagement and New Content
This symbiotic relationship between dungeon keepers and players is the cornerstone of Eden Ever's success. As dungeon keepers invest time and creativity into refining their dungeons, players are consistently presented with novel challenges and innovative gameplay experiences. The more dungeons evolve and expand, the more captivating the gaming environment becomes for players.
End Game - The Arena
In addition to dungeon crawls, Eden Ever offers a competitive PvP setting where players can battle it out in one vs. one, battle royale, or team battles. Players can climb the leaderboards and join tournaments for prizes. This helps to facilitate a game mode that scales with the player base and their progression, experience, and skill, rather than content, create a nice complement to the dungeon crawling experience.
Technology
Built on Web 3, and played from your browser, Eden Ever offers a seamless user experience, facilitating scalable gameplay, wide accessibility, and enables the creation and exchange of NFTs effortlessly.
Token Economy
The game operates solely on NFTs, each reflecting diverse rarity levels corresponding to their significance within the game. Transactions of these NFTs trigger royalties for the dungeon keepers, fostering an ecosystem where creativity is rewarded.
In Eden Ever, the economy is delicately balanced through two integral mechanisms. Firstly, for item enhancements, players must undergo a process where items are intentionally destroyed, yielding essential materials - a strategic mechanic designed to naturally reduce the item supply and act as a controlled burn mechanism.
Secondly, the progression of dungeons is intimately tied to player interaction. As more adventurers traverse these dungeons, they evolve, unlocking additional levels and content for the dungeon keepers. This symbiotic relationship between player activity and dungeon growth ensures a dynamic, ever-expanding gaming experience while reinforcing the interconnectedness of gameplay elements.
Economic Viability
Eden Ever's economy is designed to be self-sustaining, with the game's revenue model relying on a 5% (subject to change) royalty fee for all NFT transactions. This fee is split between the developer and the dungeon keeper, ensuring that both parties are incentivized to maintain the game in a way that does not create a perverse incentive, which is often the case where the game relies on the appriciating valuation of a token.
As far as the developer is concerned, the royalty fee is used to fund the game's development, marketing, and operational costs. A detailed breakdown of the royalty fee distribution will be released in the future.
