"Bang Bang Defense" - An Upcoming P2E NFT Game on Hive! - Official Announcement

Hello everyone! My name is @choof and today I'm very excited to announce the upcoming NFT project called "BANG BANG DEFENSE" I'm working on with the amazing @hashkings team!

This post will hopefully help clarify what the Bang Bang Defense game is all about, and what you should be excited for!

What is Bang Bang Defense?

Bang Bang Defense is a shooter game where players must defend their tower from waves of enemies. Throughout a match, players can use money dropped from enemies to upgrade their weapons. Players can also win rewards and collect NFT Gun Skins just by playing!

Taking inspiration from tower defense and turn based strategy genres, Bang Bang Defense requires a mix of skill and strategy, and strives to provide a fun and exciting P2E experience for everyone.

Gameplay

Bang Bang Defense matches are round based. Initially, players start with a basic weapon (equipped before the match). As the rounds progress, enemies get faster, harder, and spawn more frequently. In order to counter this, players can use money dropped from enemies to upgrade their weapon between matches. Players must manage their economy to ensure they don't fall below the curve.

Players are able upgrade the following stats during a match:

• Damage
• Bullet Speed
• Reload Time
• Max Ammo
• Firerate

All of these stats greatly impact how effective your weapon is. For example, higher bullet speed makes aiming easier, and bullets travel further. While things like firerate and damage directly impact your ADS (Average Damage per Second). So choose your upgrades according to your play style!

The goal of the game is to get as far as possible. Once your towers health reaches zero, the match ends.

Guns

Initially, Bang Bang Defense will feature 3 different guns player can use in-game. These include the:

• Pistol: A semi-automatic pistol with moderate damage, range, and a fire rate.
• Shotgun: A pump action shotgun that shoots 12-Gauge shells. Capable of high damage at a close range.
• SMG: A fully automatic gun with lower damage and range, but has an extremely fast fire rate. It's low accuracy allows for effectiveness use in close/medium range.

Check out this NFT skin equipped to the base Pistol.

All the base guns can be unlocked in-game for free just by playing. Bang Bang Defense aims to be F2P and accessible to everyone!

NFTs

Bang Bang Defense will features NFTs that can be used in game. These NFTs are skins that can be equipped to the available guns in-game.

Bang Bang Defense NFTs have 4 different rarity tiers:

• Common
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary

It should be self explanatory, but the rarer the skin, the harder it is to obtain. Skins effect the appearance of a gun, much like gun cosmetics in popular FPS games. Rarer gun skins look cooler and have snazzy animations, gun trails, and so much more.

Gun skin rarity also determines how much of a boost it gives to the guns base stats. This will take some balancing, but Bang Bang Defense still aims to be skill based, not P2W. Skins will give players a slight edge, but not an unfair advantage. Finally, gun skins will be required to complete quests. The higher the skin rarity, the better the rewards.

Skin NFTs will be primarily used for P2E mechanics.

What's next?

Bang Bang Defense is still in very early development, and many mechanics discussed in this announcement are subject to change. Currently, I'm working on the guns and upgrade system. Next up is refining gameplay, balancing difficulty progression, and much more. I plan to write regular Dev Logs to keep the community up to date throughout the entire development process. In the coming weeks, I will release some more information regarding the P2E mechanics, and more detail regarding gameplay.

In the meantime, check out the fantastic weed farming game by @hashkings!

Till next time,
