Decentralized NFT-based Collectible RPG game with $BPT token. Battle, trade & win cards to be on top

Saigon 💎 | OIG: We have with us Bold Point, an NFT based RPG built exclusively on the AVAX ecosystem! Representing Bold Point we have Pedro (Business Developer).

Thank you for coming out today @Pedro_Verdades! Can you briefly introduce yourself to our community?

P. Verdades: Pleasure to be here guys! Really glad to be talking in front of an amazing community like this

So, I am Pedro, I have been working with YAY Games and Bold Point since the inception of both Projects. I have worked with several Crypto projects, mainly with marketing/bysdev and I am sure we will achieve great things here!

Once more, great pleasure to be here

Saigon 💎 | OIG: The pleasure is all ours! Thank you for your time today, we’re truly excited about Bold Point so let’s get into it!

Can you summarise for us what Bold Point is about?

P. Verdades:Of course! That's what we are here for eheh 😛

Bold Point is a blockchain-based NFT Role Playing Game. Based on the everlasting struggle for power and wealth, Bold Point leads players into the glorious pits of battle in which their skills, experience, and wits will be tested in fierce competition. The winner takes all, and gamers’ goal is to stay alive for the next challenge.

Bold Point is the first fully in-house game from our team here at YAY Games, our developers have been working on it for almost a year now, so we are thrilled for the next couple of months! We will be exclusively on AVAX and our goal is to step up the game in the avalanche ecosystem.

Saigon 💎 | OIG: We’re seeing a lot of good projects move over to AVAX so excellent choice!

What is the background of the core team?

P. Verdades: The Avax ecosystem is growing like crazy, I advise everyone who does not know much about it, to really dive deep! There are a lot of opportunities. ⚡️

As for our team,

Nick, our CEO, was actually the CEO of CreaGames, one of the major game publishers in Russia. He has also been connected to crypto for some years, so the decision to bridge into crypto was quite easy.

Denis, our lead developer who is in charge of the game production also has extensive experience in the gaming market. As for advisors, we got a big network of connections in Russia which helped us make this a reality. Important to note, that YAY Games and Bold Point are connected, so all the expertise from YAY are within Bold Point.

And obviously, we are all game fanatics! and we believe that this industry is just starting! 🎉

Saigon 💎 | OIG: It is a very good team. Everyone has huge aspirations and that is translating into some great products so far with YAY as you have mentioned.

What is your mission, vision, and values as a project?

P. Verdades: More than YAY we want to bring the best game experience ever in AVAX! so keep an eye on that 😎

Our mission is to maintain a competitive spirit in a fun way and provide unique experiences, and

economic opportunities for all gamers around the world through a top-notch ecosystem built on our own sidechain technology!

So we can say that we are in a healthy “fight” to spread adoption across the world!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: It is a great medium through which to spread adoption! Engaging with users within an incredibly fun platform that is familiar for a lot of gamers and users.

What problems do you see in the gaming industry that Bold point will fix?

P. Verdades: Games will help the adoption of crypto to the masses, we have no doubt about it!

The Majority of gamers actually need to spend money on their favourite hobby and never earn a single dollar. So we are committed to creating a fully free-to-play game!

Also, more than a regular 2D game, we want to bring a fully immersive experience for blockchain gaming! With Triple-A graphics and gameplay!

We commit to nothing less than that ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Ultimately returning value back to the users instead of the current extraction model that many video games utilize! I dig it!

Can you tell us a little about your sidechain technology and any new features?

P. Verdades: Nice question, see you have been keeping an eye on our latest posts eheh

Our side-chain technology (should we call it YAY Chain? 🤫) was made to optimize gas costs and speed up game transactions. And it’s fully new in the market

Our item generator feature is also a great innovation and we have never seen something similar. To make it short, it is a blockchain software that generates items based on a variable random function according to our game design documents.

Apart from this, we have multiple in-game mechanics that were made to ensure players have multiple sources of income within the game!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Wow, love it. You guys have thought of everything!

We have seen some interesting things about NFT’s in your game, can you tell us a little about them and their role in your game?

P. Verdades: Indeed, we are focusing now on educating the community about our upcoming NFTs and their perks!

So basically every item or character in Bold Point will be an NFT! From swords to amulets, armour or cloaks! Everything will be able to be traded, sold or bought!

By battling other users you will also get NFTs, and some of them will be available for crafting.

As I said above our ITEM Generator will take a huge play in here! Since it will provide us the chance to create hundreds/thousands of unique NFTs, bringing the sentiment of exclusivity into play!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Very cool, the ecosystem behind Bold Point is massive! Truly cannot wait to be a part of it and to experience the universe.

What utility will the $BPT token have? When and where can we get our hands on it?

P. Verdades: Now you are getting to the point ahah I’ll try to answer them in separate!

What utility will the $BPT token have? There are multiple use cases for $BPT within the game. We will have a Gold PVP system where users will fight each other for rewards from a Prize Pool.

The Bold Point Arena, where champions, individually or in clans, will be challenged by opposition teams until there is only one player standing.

Dao Mechanics, where the community will be able to vote on how to use different characters, tactics, and other objects in a transparent and decentralized manner.

We have much more, but we want to keep some secrets eheh. I can reveal that game farming, development mechanics, multiple tournaments, quests, crafting, PVE will be a part of the game too.

And obviously, a lot of DEFI mechanics will be added, from an NFT Marketplace where users will be able to buy, sell, loan, or exchange items and Farming Raids.

And, regarding the 2nd one!

When and where can we get our hands on it?

Regarding where to get it! Pretty easy!

What exciting things do you have in your roadmap that you think our community should know about?

P. Verdades: Timing the market is always better than time in the market! Always liked this quote 😎

The Private sale for our users: You can join in ZEUS (YAY Games platform)

MVP version will be released this month: we are really excited for this one

NFT Marketplace is also coming in December!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Incredible roadmap mate!

Tons of things to look forward to on the Horizon for Bold Point and YAY Games!

Well @Pedro_Verdades at this point I’d like to turn it over to our community questions asked on Twitter where we had a GREAT turnout for Bold Point!

Community Twitter Questions

Question 1)

P. Verdades: Nice one indeed!

So, this is our third Initial Game Offering with ZEUS. In the first sale we had small hiccups, which were quickly solved, but we wanted to make sure we were ready for BOLD POINT! And we feel pretty much ready for all of it now eheh bring them on!

The first round of our sale was conducted “softly” and without any kind of trouble, it was pretty easy for users to join and grab a spot!

Now let's not forget, we have the 2 ROUND today/tomorrow! In this one user's won't need to buy any BPT they just have to stake their YAY in order for a chance to receive a FREE BPT airdrop!

Since the staking period for this one will be higher, these are the benefits that users will have

100% Chance to win allocation on all Tiers

FREE BPT airdrop for stakers

APY will be added soon to this round

Huge Allocation sizes: Up to $2.4K in BPT tokens at Private sale Price

We will be airdropping around $200K worth of BPT tokens to users! So this is one you don't want to miss!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: WOW. I’ve actually have not heard of this used before. That is incredibly generous! 100% chance allocation on all tiers. Amazing job guys!

Question 2)

P. Verdades: Hard one!

First of all we are exclusive on AVAX so there is no multi-chain! And we aim to be the biggest game on avax yet!

And our side-chain technology will be great for easy game onboarding for non-related crypto users as well as crypto experts! Apart from that, all the mechanics I mentioned above are indeed distinctive features we haven’t seen yet!

So await us 😎

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Makes sense mate!

Question 3)

P. Verdades: In the Ancient Lands of Bold Point users will be able to choose between multiple factions and characters and join the battle for success! But they must be careful since dangers lurk everywhere!

As for starting in our MVP version that will be released this month, users will only be able to use one character. But I advise you to keep up with our MEDIUM, since we will be deploying all characters and unique NFTS/Items in the next couple of weeks! This will give you an amazing advantage when the game actually comes!

There will be plenty of valuable and unique items in the bold Point Lands! From swords to amulets, rings, cloats, even characters they will all be NFTs. Thus you will be able to trade them as well as sell/buy !

You will be able to get the majority of the NFTs through fighting, crafting, trading, and in general loot!

Saigon 💎 | OIG: Very cool @Pedro_Verdades! So we will intimately get to love our Bold Point characters as we take them through this incredible journey!

Well brother, thank you for your time here today. This was great! Are there any final words you would like to leave with our community?

P. Verdades: I am the one that has to thank you guys for the amazing support! Thrilled to be here talking about a project who has been being built for so long and with such dedication.

So I can only thank you in behalf of the team! Although I am the one speaking at the moment I am sure they share the same passion and vision as me! And we cant wait to bring you Bold Point! The game is for the community!

Keep safe guys! And dont forget our second airdrop Round will be live today/tomorrow! Keep an eye on our socials for more information!
