Question 2

Items, Monsters, and NFTs

Accepted Answer

Since we're a very diverse game which yields the benefits of crypto, it has lead to some confusion from the non-crypto-informed player-base. This is perfectly fine though as we attempt to limit the amount of crypto involvement you'll need, making it so if you so wish you'll never see anything crypto related in the game.

This is important to us as we see our self not as a crypto game, but rather a game overall which so happens to harness the power of the blockchain.

NFTs

So we're going to assume you know nothing about NFTs to make this as informative as possible. But it's important for you to remember, although NFTs are utilized, if you so wish you can play without ever needing to know what an NFT is.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data on the blockchain. - NFTs can represent digital files such as art, audio, videos, items in video games and other forms of creative work. While the digital files themselves are infinitely reproducible, the NFTs representing them are tracked on their underlying blockchains and provide buyers with proof of ownership. – Non-fungible token, Wikipedia

Too long; Didn't read: NFTs are information backing up the ownership and authenticity of something (item, artwork, etc..)

How we utilize NFTs

As Chainmonsters utilizes the blockchain on its back-end, we use NFTs for just about everything. All in game items, all monsters, it all has an NFT. For example, let's say theoretically the game had something you could pickup, sa

It's here! At last a guide on how to use your alpha NFT. Those that have backed us via kickstarter or have an Alpha NFT, here's the guide you need to use/claim your alpha access

|| If your NFT is in an external wallet (VIV3) you'll need to contact their support in order to transfer it to your Chainmonsters account

I'm eligible, what now?

That's great! Next up we'll convert your NFT to a "Kickstarter badge" - This is an exclusive NFT and in-game badge which shows that you've backed our project.

Your alpha access NFT will be "destroyed" and alpha status + season pass will be automatically assigned to your account. (You can check if this is completed by ensuring that there's two green ticks here)

| Don't worry! The Kickstarter badge will still feature your super unique alpha NFT number!

On top of that, after alpha, we're going to give every alpha participant an "Alpha badge" NFT. (More free stuff, yay!)

Why don't you support Linux?

We looked closely at supporting Linux in our process though unfortunatly it shows to be a lot harder than seems worthwhile. Play On Linux reports that as of Febuary 2021 Linux accounted for roughly 0.81% of the Steam playerbase.

Using Steam - Proton to play on Linux

Luckily Steam on Linux does have experimental support for running Windows games on Linux with the use of a system called Proton. You'll need to activate proton and support for all titles in Steam

Open Steam on your Linux Desktop
Navigate to the settings page
Open the "Steam Play" tab

Some of our services appear not to be working at the moment.
