Video games have been a staple source of entertainment and recreational activity for decades. Over the years, technological innovation has allowed developers to go beyond the two-dimensional pixelated style that dominated the industry and replaced them with life-like models and jaw-dropping renders. In the past few years, the gaming industry has incorporated elements of modern innovation, utilizing cryptocurrency and NFTs to keep with the times. Today, multiple games have sprung up that incorporate these digital coins and tokens, and joining the fray is Legends of Mintonia.
Legends of Mintonia is an upcoming 3D MMORPG game set in the Mintyverse set to be released on the Mintyswap Network. The game will be featuring the Mintonians NFT, a brand-new collection of 10,000 uniquely designed characters that holders will be playing.
The collection consists of unique, hand-drawn token mascots whose heads resemble the outline of cartoon fire. Although they share the same silhouettes, the Mintonians are based on various colors and dressed up in different accessories. While some are put on casual wear, other Mintonians are dressed up in a dapper suit or fancy dress. There are also Mintonians dressed in futuristic armor, ready to join the battle for the Mintyverse.
By incorporating the NFT with the game, holders will find that Mintonians also have a breeding aspect when they put both male and female Mintonians into the same wallet. Although not much detail has been shared on the breeding length, they will be able to produce Baby Mintonians, which in turn will become sidekicks in their conquest in the Legends of Mintonia. Although the Mintonians are drawn in 2D, the MMORPG will be treating players to a 3D world, breathing life into the illustrations.
The developers of the Legends of Mintonia have a huge utility in their crypto token project Mintyswap, an online platform in development that brings artists, producers, and creators together to create a new medium to buy and sell their creations to passionate collectors. Although the brand primarily functions as an NFT marketplace, the developers wanted to bring something new to the table.
“We want to offer something more to our users,” they said. “Which is why we’re looking to introduce our own deflationary native token very soon.”
Although they have been developing Mintonians, the Mintyverse developers have also been busy working on three other play-to-earn games. Apart from the Legends of Mintonia, they are also creating a first-person-shooter game called Minted: Battle Against Fiat, wherein the players are tasked with eliminating their enemy. Going in groups of five, they battle in a blockchain-style world with swords, spears, arrows, and daggers to not only win the battle but also win real digital currencies like $MINTYS or $ETH.
The Legends of Mintonia will also be giving back to the community through a raffle wherein ten lucky minters will win $500 a month for life with an extra $100 for every month they diamond hand the NFT. Additionally, one lucky minter can get the chance to win Minty Monroe, along with $1 million.
On their recent launch, NFT was sold out and raised a whopping $500,000 in just ten minutes.
