The conventional gameplay in most games operates under a free-to-play skin economy model, where game studios directly sell various skins to players. Games like League of Legends and Fortnite follow this model. However, what sets Big Time apart is that it empowers players with the ability to create skins, allowing them to take control of skin production and sales within the game. It invites players to deeply integrate themselves into its business model. This creative approach is achieved by creating 3D models and formulating crafting recipes. Below, we provide a detailed introduction to Big Time's in-game monetization strategy.

In the game, free players can enter the Black Dungeon without purchasing any NFTs and have a chance to obtain tradable NFTs.

On the other hand, users who purchase NFTs can access the Gold Dungeon, where they have a higher chance of obtaining more rare NFT drops and $bigtime tokens.

Currently, in the pre-season version, players can be categorized into the following four types:

1、Normal Gold Farming:

Purchase hourglasses, titles, NFT equipment, time crystals, and emojis (a set of which currently has a minimum price of around 600U). Activate at least four hourglass slots and equip them with hourglasses. Find five teammates with gold farming equipment and farm hourglass time together consistently. The source of income is obtained through token drops from running dungeons, with an average of about 200 tokens per run previously, although drop rates have been slightly reduced recently.

2、Landlord Gold Farming：

Purchase a space, a Time Guardian (with a grade equal to or lower than the space, or else it can't be used), an hourglass, and a Time Crystal (the minimum price for a complete set is approximately 800U). The source of income comes from charging the hourglass with the Time Guardian and then selling the crafted hourglass on the market to make a profit from the price difference.

3、Pay-to-Win Gold Farming：

Purchase a space, a Time Guardian, an hourglass, a Time Crystal, titles, NFT equipment, and emoticons (the minimum price for a complete set is approximately 1000U). The main source of income is obtaining $bigtime tokens by completing dungeons, utilizing the Time Guardian for self-sufficiency.

4、Super Pay-to-Win Gold Farming：

Purchase advanced spaces, advanced Guardians, advanced armories, a furnace, crystals, titles, NFT equipment, and emoticons. The source of income includes obtaining more $bigtime tokens by completing advanced dungeons, crafting and selling various high-level NFTs through the armory and furnace to generate revenue.

The mentioned props are all NFTs and can be purchased on the official NFT trading marketplace at https://openloot.com/marketplace.

Users can quickly find the items they want in the trading marketplace using the search function. Below are the names of various types of items. Different levels of golden copies require different NFTs.

Space (Time Guardian, Armory, Furnace): space.

Space is Big Time's virtual land, and SPACE allows players to expand their personal metaverse and install their skins.

1. Now, KYC (Know Your Customer) is completely open, and you can freely withdraw tokens without worrying about KYC issues.2. Currently, the overall token usage is relatively low. As indicated in the whitepaper, the primary token consumption is for crafting advanced NFTs, but the demand for advanced or top-tier NFTs is limited at the moment, with few people engaging in their creation. The prices of the armory and furnace NFTs have also not seen significant increases. Today's update increases the demand for NFT equipment, which is worth noting.3. The consumption of hourglass-accelerated charging crystals has significantly increased, resulting in a several-fold increase in charging costs.4. The output of dungeons has been greatly reduced, but it is still profitable. In the first three days before the server opened, completing a regular dungeon could yield around 200 tokens, but now the average is only a few dozen tokens. To achieve higher earnings, you need to wear more advanced NFT equipment, challenge higher-level dungeons using hourglasses, improve your proficiency to increase dungeon completion speed.
