Big Time

• Big Time is a multiplayer action role-playing game with blockchain-based item ownership.

• Cosmetic items and equipment are tradeable NFTs, while gameplay itself is conventional.

• BIGTIME is the in-game currency.

• Earned through gameplay and used for crafting and marketplace transactions.

• Supply expands through gameplay rewards, which requires sinks to avoid inflation.

Pros:

• Built by developers with credits on major commercial titles.

• Blockchain elements are limited to items rather than intruding on gameplay.

• Sustained an active player base longer than most blockchain games.

Cons:

• Reward emissions must be balanced against sinks or the currency inflates, and most game economies fail this.

• Player numbers are modest against conventional games in the same genre.

• Item value depends entirely on continued player interest.

• Exposure to blockchain gaming through a title with actual gameplay quality.

• Development pedigree is genuine.

• Weigh the difficulty of sustaining an in-game currency economy.

• Blockchain ownership confined to cosmetics and equipment, leaving core gameplay unaffected by crypto mechanics.

• Players spend heavily on in-game items they cannot sell or keep if they stop playing.

• Tradeable ownership lets that spending retain value, provided the game retains players.

• Developed by Big Time Studios, founded by Ari Meilich, previously of Decentraland, with developers from major studios.

• Backed by FBG Capital and Bitkraft.

• No public ICO. Distributed through gameplay and ecosystem allocations.

• In-game currency inflation if emissions outpace sinks.

• Player retention determines all item value.

• Modest player base relative to conventional competitors.

• Ongoing development cost with uncertain revenue.
