HECO AMA Series Recap — Boss Rally
Guest: Karthas, CEO of Boss Rally
Host: Rased from HECO
Question 1: How do you think about the current popularity of GameFi+NFT games? Is it an inevitable trend?
From our observations, more and more traditional game development companies are now entering the blockchain market. In traditional games, there are limited ways for players to earn profits. Generally, the profits from the game are the side products of playing games. They basically do not have investment attributes. It is in a low liquidity.
The emergence of GameFi enables players to invest while enjoying the fun of the game and obtain considerable income, which is the popular concept “Play to Earn”. All items in games can be freely circulated through NFT, so as to maximize their scarce value, and increase their collection value. This is the main reason why we are optimistic about the Gamefi+NFT game track. Of course, it is also our original intention to create Boss Rally to bring players more interesting and valuable gaming experiences, thereby promoting the development of the Game ecosystem.
Question2: Could you please give a detailed introduction to the Boss Rally?
Boss Rally is a role-playing GameFi chain game developed by DragonGame, a well-known game development company in Southeast Asia. Boss Rally was officially launched in 2019 by the core team members of DragonGame. They have rich experience in game development. The core technology developers are all from Ubisoft, Nintendo, Axie Infinity and other large game companies.
Currently Boss Rally is deployed on smart chains such as ETH, BSC, Heco, OkexChain, Solana, and Avalanche. Players can play virtual roles to fight with Boss, get the level up, collect equipment, and breed pets. At the same time, they can obtain land to participate in farm nbuilding and engage in PvP battles. Boss Rally enables players to earn while playing the game.
Different players are able to choose different gameplays and strategies, which reflects that Boss Rally provides a freedom gaming environment for players to enjoy the game. Later, I will mainly introduce a few gameplays for reference.
In traditional games, players can only obtain more advanced equipment, upgrade the levels, and open up a new territory by continuously recharging in the game. There are no other benefits for players to recharge, except for the joy of playing games. All game profits are ultimately obtained by game companies. Although players contribute data and traffic, they don’t get any profits.
It’s different from playing Boss Rally. Although it requires a certain amount of cost in the initial stage, it bring players a lot of benefits in the later upgrades.
Question 3: How to join the game?
Boss Rally is initially deployed on the Heco chain, and more smart chains will be supported in the future.
Players can enter the game by opening the official website in any wallet or H5 webpage that supports the Heco chain.
If it is your first time to log in to the game, you need to set up your account information first, and then you can receive daily login rewards.
After completing the basic settings, you are free to choose the pattern of Single-Player to win the initial equipment. The refresh time of the personal Boss will be displayed in the upper right corner, which is very easy to learn.
Question 4: Could you please tell us more about the main gameplays?
OK. I will introduce the main components of the game at first, which will help you better understand the specific gameplays that explained later.
Here are the main components of the game.
- 10 different game characters;
- 3 patterns: Personal Boss, Equipment Boss, Bounty Boss;
- Equipments (including red rare equipment, NFT);
- mining machine, land,
- NFT blind box (land, mining machine, equipment),
- Metaverse pets, Tokens, Selling Center, etc.
The first pattern is Personal Boss: PvE mode, each user can challenge three times a day for free, and can get more challenge opportunities by using BOSY tokens.
This kind of gameplay is the simplest and most suitable for freshers to accumulate equipment and upgrade. It is similar to freshers daily tasks. Players log in to the game every day and have 3 chances to defeat the Boss. Each time they defeat one, they will be rewarded with equipment dropped by the Boss and upgrade materials.
The second pattern is to Equipment Boss: PvP&PvE mode, also known as World Boss, which is refreshed every 15 minutes in the game cycle. Players can participate in the killing together, and through PvP, compete for the profits dropped by the Boss. Each palyer have three free opportunities to challenge for one day. More challenge opportunities can be obtained by purchasing BOSY tokens.
Multiple real players can kill a World Boss together, and finally it is the “winner takes all” mode. If you defeat other players, you will be able to get the final profits. The various equipment, materials and even rare items brought by this battle may equal to the income of Personal Boss for a month. For investment players it is definitely a high income, which can get the fun of drawing big prizes. And for game players, it also fully satisfy their sense of accomplishment.
The third pattern is Bounty Boss: PvE mode, one of the biggest features of the game. Players are required to participate in the challenge together. Players who do the final strike to the Boss will get a rare bounty box. The top 3 output players will get equipment box. The top 10 will get game points rewards. Each palyer can get rewards for one day. Three challenges are free, and more challenge opportunities can be obtained by purchasing BOSY tokens.
As the name suggests, it is as rewarding as a bounty hunter. This is one of the biggest features of the Boss Rally. This kind of gameplay is more suitable for Guilds like YGG to participate. The Guild cultivates a group of semi-professional players through recruitment, training, and game lending, and its managers lead the team to play the Bounty Boss. The bounty boxes and points drawn out will be uniformly redeemed by the manager, and then distributed to the participating players, guilds and managers in a certain proportion.
Besides these three different gameplays, some players can choose the mining mode to play, purchasing land or mining machines. If you only purchase mining machines, you can rent others’ land, and then share the mining profits according to the input ratio.
No matter mining or fighting Boss, players can trade all kinds of items, NFT equipment, tokens, etc. in the market. The seller bears the transaction fee when placing orders, 50% of which will be sent into the BOSY bonus pool(platform token) and continues to give back to players.
Throughout the game, we fully integrate DeFi to make the game more interesting. At the same time, by providing liquidity mining and other methods, players have more ways to join the game and can get more profits in it.
Question 5: What are the componets of the entire game ecosystem?
In addition to the 10 major roles, the Equipment System, Material System, Fighting Boss System, and Trading System are the key parts to understand the game. The ecosystem is mainly composed of these four systems.
First of all, there are mainly 5 types of equipment in the Equipment System, including weapons(attack power), helmets(main defense power), armor(main HP), shoes(agility), and accessories(lucky value). Different equipment has different effects. Players mainly obtain equipment in two ways, buying blind boxes or using platform token in the trading market.
If you need to upgrade equipment, you can use materials to level up the equipment from +0 to +5. 50% of the fee(platform token) generated by the upgrade will be sent into the exclusive BOSY reward pool.
To upgrade the equipment, you need to combine two full-level similar equipment into one and then upgrade. For example, a full-level and 3-star battle axe requires 2 full-level battle axe that is 2-star. The equipment stage is 1 star to 5 stars.
For example, at the beginning of the game, the player first buys the blind box of equipment, and after the +0 equipment is opened, the equipment is upgraded through the materials dropped in the battle or directly purchased. If it reaches a certain level or even the full level, the player can sell the equipment in the trading market to gain profit. Of course, players can also buy high-level equipment in the Selling Center at the beginning of the game, and then go to fight the Boss.
There are 5 kinds of materials in total. ABCDE respectively correspond to 5 kinds of equipment, weapon A, helmet B, armor C, shoes D, accessory E. To upgrade equipment, each corresponding material has relatively large demand.
For example, upgrading weapons requires 10A+2B+3C+1D+2E
Upgrading shoes requires 2A+1B+1C+10D+2E
These materials can be purchased in the trading market.
We have already mentioned the Boss system, including three different ways of playing Boss. The rest is the trading system. The materials and equipment we mentioned earlier can be traded in the market. The seller places the order, the buyer takes the order, and the seller bears the handling fee. 50% of the handling fee enters the platform currency Boss bonus pool. This is the liquidity of all props and NFTs in the game. The essential.
The Boss System, as we have said before, includes three different ways of fighting boss.
The rest is the Trading System. The materials and equipment we mentioned earlier can be traded in the market. The seller orders and the buyer takes the oder. The seller bears the transaction fee. 50% of the fee will enter the BOSY bonus pool, which is the key to the liquidity of all items and NFT in the game.
Question 6: What is the role of BOSY token in the game?
BOSY is the native token of the game, with a fixed circulation of 1 billion. It mainly guarantees the circulation of all items and equipment in the game, which is equivalent to the exchange and transaction medium. The general items and equipment in the game are anchored to BOSY. For example, players must use BOSY when purchasing game items, additional opportunities or blind boxes, land, mining machines, etc. It aims to provide a general ultimate solution of in-game currency for game players and users. 50% of the circulation of BOSY will be used for in-game rewards.
We believe that BOSY will have more value in the future. In addition to serving the entire game ecosystem, it will be realized circulation in more scenarios, providing the global, decentralized, cross-platform, high liquidity, and unified asset value guarantee.
Question 7: In addition to the above, is there any innovative design for the game?
Yes, there are three more interesting functions: Metaverse mining, NFT blind box and pet breeding.
First of all, let’s talk about metaverse mining. We have designed three metaverse mines. Players are able to mine by purchasing equipment in the game, and they can also choose to have additional computing power bonus attributes in the Boss Manor and gain profits through leasing. If the mining machine is placed in the Boss Manor, it can continue to generate mining income, and can be cash out in the selling center.
About NFT blind box, player draws it in the game and will get different grades of materials. This is the fun of blind box.
As for keeping pets, it is a special item in the Boss Rally. In order to facilitate players to obtain more income, feeding cute pets in the Boss Manor will automatically increase players’ mining income. Pets are unique in design and can also be collected as NFT collections.
There are some gameplays that are not obvious, which need yo to explore and discover.
Question 8: The last question, what will be the next plan for Boss Rally?
We officially launched the testnet on September 14th, and it is expected that the first blind box purchase will be launched on September 18th. We welcome everyone to participate actively and get your favorite equipment.
On September 20th, our V1.0 version will be officially launched.
On October 15th, the Neptune Version, H5, Android and IOS will be launched at the same time to facilitate more users to join the game. Play and earn together.
On January 1st, 2022, the Uranus Version will be launched, and more new versions will be announced at that time. Please pay attention to our official information.
