In such a long period of development, the crypto world has spawned a large number of new tracks at a rapid pace with unstoppable momentum, with some of the world's most notable stars such as DeFi and NFT. Moreover, apart from these miracles of wealth creation, some tracks that have not yet scaled up are still quite noteworthy, and Crypto Game is undoubtedly one of them.

Once upon a time, the gaming sector had already made a splash in the crypto world in the form of GameFi, with the well-known Axie Infinity and StepN being among the best, however, as a relatively early form, GameFi seems to have significant problems as well. They have been criticized for their excessive financial nature and lack of fun, which also makes it difficult for GameFi to secure a relatively stable inflow of users, thus falling into a death spiral of the economic model.

Today, Web3's new generation of Builders are trying to solve this insurmountable problem by improving GameFi even more game-like and diluting the financial aspect of GameFi. They want to make the x to earn model even more pure and return to the original purpose of gaming in order to break the death spiral that is now beginning to generalise. Town Story, the one CoinTime having conversation with, is one such Crypto Game that contributes to the development of Crypto Games with a focus on fun.

Town Story is a Crypto Game that integrate social interaction with gaming. Its most important feature is that it provides users with a very low participation threshold and a new social environment. As we all know, traditional GameFi often requires users to purchase game props such as NFT in advance so that they can participat, which also prompt more intuitive economic purposes such as return of cost and money making become the main reason for user retention. This is certainly not friendly enough for the average users in a bear market. At the same time, an economic model that is too eager to make a profit can often make the project party inevitably fall into a death spiral dilemma in the later stage, as their game may have no other use other than making money.

The Town Story team with rich experience in Web2 game development is also deeply aware of this point, and their experience also gives them a deep understanding of the huge user potential of the Web2 world. They will use Free to play and Free to earn as a major selling point of Town Story. Users do not need to invest any money when they enter the game at the early stage. At the same time, they can also cash out by trading the game props that they have spent time shaping and cultivating with other players. This makes the entire game more friendly to the average players.

At the same time, Town Story is deeply aware of the importance of game fun to the life of the game, so they have also spent a lot of energy and investment in playability. In this process, Town Story is not limited to the game itself, they are deeply aware of the huge potential of social relationships, so Town Story has also added considerable number of social elements, and even the game may be laid out with the strategy of "social first, game second" in the early stages. The founder of Town Story also mentioned: “Town Story hopes to bring fresh blood to Web3 by fully exploiting the social potential of the Web2 world.”

So what kind of surprises will the new Crypto Game bring to the table, somewhere between gaming, crypto and social networking? Let's wait and see.
