Market Research

The explosive growth of cryptocurrencies in recent years has led to crypto

entering many different fields. From healthcare to sports, blockchain technology can be seen everywhere – and the gaming industry is no exception.

In 2021, the term NFT has been on everyone’s lips. NFTs, or Non-Fungible

Tokens, are unique, exclusive tokens that cannot be replicated. In Q3 of

2021, NFT sales surged to $10.7 billion.While the mainstream news tends to

focus on NFTs as works of art, often fetching unbelievably high prices at auction, in the world of crypto they have many uses. One of the most important of these is as gaming assets.

Play To Earn (P2E) games have been one of the biggest success stories in

crypto. Their appeal is broad, reaching beyond both traditional gamers and

traditional crypto investors. These games generally use a mixture of NFTs

and normal, or fungible, cryptocurrencies. Players invest in NFTs to start

playing, and therefore earning; the more powerful the NFT, the bigger the

potential profits.

The market leader, Axie Infinity, was launched in 2018. By August 2021, it

counted over 1.8 million daily players, and in November 2021, its market cap

reached $10 billion. Remarkably, Axie’s parent company, Sky Mavis, reports

that 50% of players are not previous cryptocurrency investors. Axie is not

an isolated case: gaming tokens like MANA, GALA, ALICE, and SAND have all seen explosive growth in 2021.

Compare of industry’s capitalization (blns$)

What brings players to these games? In many cases, it’s not the gameplay,

which tends to be extremely simplistic. However, these games can offer a

significant earning potential. Unlike most video games, they do not re-

quire sophisticated equipment to play; a mobile phone or basic computer

and internet connection is all that is needed. It comes as no surprise that

P2E games are most successful in developing countries. 40% of Axie’s daily

players are based in the Philippines, where playing the game can be more

lucrative than many traditional jobs. 6% come from Venezuela, a country

which has suffered from major financial instability and hyperinflation

in recent years.

In these countries, as well as Argentina, other Latin American nations,

Brazil, and Vietnam, P2E projects have become a disruptive presence. Young

adults – so-called “digital natives” for whom online gaming is as natural

as breathing – find themselves facing high unemployment rates and dim

prospects, and turn to P2E as a form of income.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has been good for the P2E industry. Job losses, rising unemployment, and lockdown measures mean that more people than ever have found that playing blockchain games offers a

lucrative source of income. In turn, this has led to an explosion in the number of P2E games on the market. But what leads some games to become successful, while others die quickly? Why do some gaming projects go from strength to strength, and why do others fail?

High barriers to entry

As a game grows in popularity, its base price rises. This can then lead to the game becoming prohibitively expensive for new players to enter. For example, to play Axie Infinity, a player needs a “team” consisting of three NFTs.

At the end of 2021, the cheapest NFTs available cost around $130 each. A

player would need approximately $400 just to get started. To make matters

worse, these NFTs are cheap for a reason: they are weak, and offer a poor

return on investment. The most expensive Axie NFTs have sold for over

$100,000.

In CrimeCash, players do not need to buy anything to start playing. Every

new player is given 1000 CCASH (the in-game currency) to get started. While

players can buy NFTs to become more powerful, there are other options

such as referrals or staking to even the playing field.

An unfair playing field

In Axie, as in many other P2E games, players who started in the game early

have an enormous advantage over newer players. They were able to buy powerful NFTs for very low prices, and new players have no real chance of

defeating them. Some games have sought to mitigate these advantages,

either by “scholarship” programs in which new players can join an older

player’s teams, or by using oracle systems to control prices. Nevertheless,

an imbalance of power often remains.

In CrimeCash, the game takes place in rounds. Every 30 days, the game is

reset, all in-game currency is burned, and players restart. This means

that new players can be competitive.

Poor development of the game theme and plot

In the traditional gaming industry, theme, atmosphere, and plot are hugely

important; however, many P2E games ignore these crucial factors. Many

games are copycats of successful projects: Q2 and Q3 of 2021 saw the launch

of Binamon, Binemon, Binamars, Polkamon, Zoon, Dragonary, and many more. All of these games had very similar themes and gameplay, featuring heroes or dragons battling against monsters (it is probably no coincidence that the highly successful Axie Infinity has a similar theme).

When so many games are almost identical, players rapidly lose interest. To

make an impact, any new game needs an engaging theme that will help it

stand out in a very crowded market.

CrimeCash offers a unique, fun theme based on gangsters and the criminal

underworld – a setting that has proved extremely popular in traditional

video games, but remains underrepresented in the P2E world. Everything

within the game has been carefully styled on thematic lines.

Poor rewards

P2E games cost money to play; if players are spending their money, either

on NFTs or tickets, they expect a good chance to make a profit. Two notable

cases are DungeonSwap (Q2 2021) and SquidMoon (Q4 2021). Both of these

tokens had remarkable growth in the weeks leading up to their game

launch, with player attracted by hype and potential. In both cases, the

games failed, as the cost of playing was far greater than the rewards on

offer. The price of DungeonSwap dropped from $18 to $1.70 when the game

launched, while SquidMoon dipped from $6.20 to under $1.

Players will not continue with a P2E game that causes them to lose money.

CrimeCash allows players to join the game without making any initial investment. In addition, there are ways to develop power and status without

spending money. The rewards available for winners are given in a deflationary currency, to maximize profits.

Complex game mechanics

The most successful games of all time are the simplest: anyone can learn

to play Tetris in less than two minutes. In the P2E world, some games are

extremely complex. A new Binamon player, for example, might easily find

themselves overwhelmed by a confusing system which features three different cryptocurrencies and several categories of NFT.

A good P2E game should be easy to learn, quick to start playing, and have a

clear objective. Without these, it will easily fail.

CrimeCash offers a unique, fun theme based on gangsters and the criminal

underworld – a setting that has proved extremely popular in traditional

video games, but remains underrepresented in the P2E world. Everything

within the game has been carefully styled on thematic lines.

CrimeCash takes into account all the complexities of the industry and attempts to provide a fair playing field to all gamers. This vision will allow

each player to plunge into the atmosphere of our game, with ease and earn money.

Gameplay

The objective of the game is to reach the top of the leaderboard before the

end of the round. Each CrimeCash round lasts 30 days. At the end of the

round, scores are erased, in-game currency is burned, prizes are distributed,

and the game starts again.

Playing the game

There are three ways to climb to the top of the criminal underworld:

• MONEY: Accumulate the most

• CCASH POWER: Have the highest power score (attack and defense)

• CONNECTIONS: Create a team of gangsters by inviting new players

With multiple routes to the top, CrimeCash lets players choose their own winning strategy.

Money

All players start the game with 1000 CCASH. There are several ways to earn more CCASH:

+ Robbery

Players can attack other players to steal their CCASH. In order for a robbery to be successful, two conditions must be met. First, the attacker must have a higher Attack score than the victim’s Defense score. Secondly, the victim must have CCASH in their balance (not at the bank, or in an LP pool). If both of these conditions are true, the attacker will steal 10-50% of the victim’s CCASH. The percentage is decided randomly.

+ Form a gang

Every player has a personal referral link. They will receive 1000 CCASH and 500 Attack power for every friend who joins the game. If a player has more than 2 referrals they will be entitled to a 200% farming bonus

CRIME vs CCASH

Two currencies are used to play the game, CrimeGold (CRIME) and CrimeCash (CCASH).

CRIME

CRIME is the more valuable of the two. It can be bought and sold on exchanges. There is a 25% tax on each sell transaction. This 25% will be

burned, making CRIME a deflationary asset.

It is possible to play CrimeCash without buying any CRIME. However, it can

be used in the game to gain advantages. Players can use CRIME to mint

powerful NFTs and purchase special perks to help reach the top. At the end of each round, 1000 CRIME will be minted. 950 CRIME will be distributed among the winners of the round, while the remaining 50 will go to the developers.

CCASH

CCASH is the in-game currency. Unlike CRIME, it is not intended to be

traded on exchanges. It is an inflationary currency. Every new player

will receive 1000 CCASH when they join the game. The value of CCASH is expected to drop as the round progresses, so trading is not recommended.

Holding a high amount of CCASH is one of the ways to win the game. There

are also numerous in-game uses for CCASH. It can be spent on weapons and

other assets, or it can be staked to earn rewards.

At the end of each round, all in-game CCASH will be burned. At the start

of the next round, players will again receive 1000 CCASH to get started.

There is a 3% tax on each transaction for CCASH. This 3% is to prevent bots

and will be added to liquidity. 10% of in-game CCASH spending will be

used to sell against the pool and the money will be used to buy back

CRIME and burn.

Conclusion

CrimeCash represents months of preparation, research and development.

Through careful market analysis and painstaking beta testing, the team has created a game designed to stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Innovative tokenomics and a unique system of monthly rounds mean that CrimeCash is built to last. Unlike many P2E games, CrimeCash has been planned with longevity in mind; new players can join the game at any time without finding themselves at a disadvantage.

Of course, the CrimeCash story is just beginning. As the project launches, CrimeCash is a fully realized, ready-to-play game. However, there is always room to grow and adapt. While the CrimeCash project might change over time, its heart will remain the same: an innovative blockchain game that offers players the chance to make a profit and have fun.
