Big Time Might Be Bigger Than What NFT Gamers Can Imagine
Thanks to patented vault technology
NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) collectibles are hitting the market, shaking the world, and impacting the US economy. Now they hit the online gaming world.
I am inspired to write this article after reading an announcement of product development in my tech-news feed across America, watching some viral Tik Tok videos, and reading tweets retweeted by my online gaming followers on Twitter.
One of those articles titled “NFTs Are ‘Loot’ in This New $21 Million Crypto Gaming Venture” was published by Bloomberg a few weeks ago. The article focused on the financial and investment aspects of the game by investors.
However, in my article, I focus on the game’s planned features, particularly related to NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), which started to affect the US economy.
I introduced NFTs in an article on News Break from the perspectives of artists and technologists and another article on Medium slightly from a different angle.
As a technologist, art lover, and online game enthusiast, I was thrilled by the announcement made by Big Time Studios recently. The company is developing the world’s first action Windows PC game based on crypto technology.
Big Time is an upcoming role-playing game with unique features compared to others. It will combine fast-action combat, the collectability of NFTs, and a history-spanning adventure to create a unique gaming experience.
The main story consists of a mysterious threat that is destroying the existence of time. Through the game’s progression, players will notice remnants of history that may be distorted due to the threat.
Big Time brought together several world-class artists and programmers to design the visuals of this game.
Players will be able to customize their characters with clothes and armor from a variety of periods in history. Each player will also get their own time machine completely customizable with their own space.
As for the unique features, Big Time is incorporating NFT items into the game. As my News Break article mentioned, NFTs are non-fungible tokens, a cryptocurrency method to certify unique digital assets. Each NFT is recorded on a digital ledger called the blockchain.
Unlike other games where any item you acquire while playing is in reality owned by the company that created said game, the NFT feature of the game would allow players to own and hold the items they acquire. Items will be able to be earned, traded, or landed on open markets.
Players will also be able to track where an item comes from, how many of that item exists, or how many of that item will exist in the future.
Unlike other blockchain games where they expect users to set up their own virtual wallets, which can be a hassle, Big Time is incorporating the whole system directly into the game, fully managed by them.
This way, it will be very simple and straightforward for players of all platforms such as Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
This will also allow for instantaneous transfers and low costs. Of course, advanced users will still be able to transfer their items to self-hosted wallets, but the system Big Time is incorporating will help new users in the beginning.
As a fantasy game lover, I want to explore Epoch City, a “sprawling metropolis situated at the end of the universe,” as described by Chief Product Officer Thor Alexander.
Wearing my philosophy, art, and technology hats, I love the idea of “time to take us on a wild ride across the vast reaches of time and space” as described in the product introduction.
According to the Big Time team, as players of this game, our mission will be to uncover a mysterious threat tearing down the walls of time itself. History is collapsing in spectacular and explosive ways, promising unlimited adventure and some of the craziest mash-ups we have ever seen.
The Big Time video game will be free to play, but users can buy items within it.
I don’t know about you, but I want to get lost in “places with stunning vistas, evocative characters, and adventure instances ranging from the epic to the whimsical, to the downright terrifying.”
Big Time’s next-level design allows players to collect rare NFT items, which can then be traded in and out of the game through patented Vault technology.
Big times are on the horizon for gamers and NFT collectors. You can start conversations about Big Time on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and Telegram.
I wish the best to the visionary team of Big Time in creating this first-of-a-kind service for America and extending it to other global gaming markets.
