Mila : Can you tell the members a little about Sky BOSS?

Teddies Luong : yeah basic question, I guess you guys are curious about this one We are from a XOTECH company with veterans from both Vietnam and Canada. We started out as a tech & operation outsourcing company with specialty in developing and implementing software, games, and backend systems. Our team members have experiences in both the game industry and blockchain. You guys can explore more about us at xotech.ca. Having a very strong affinity in the highly desirable addressable NFT game market, our game studio was attracted by the possibilities and ramifications of this distributed ledger technology, particularly in the gaming sector, which is always receptive to new Internet revolutions. To integrate ourselves into this stream, we would like to proudly announce our very first brainchild, SkyBOSS, which we believe will thrive among our future stakeholders, who will be our prospective crypto investors and players. While the Game-FI market places an excessive emphasis on the “FI” side, the “Gameplay” part is still undervalued and does not receive the attention it requires from game publishers, which can result in a game’s demise within one to two years after introduction. With the motto “Half fun, half reward”, SkyBOSS’s mission is to create the perfect combination between unique enticing games and the ultimate tokenization methodology in order to allow our prospects and players to go beyond the edge, where games are not only fascinating but also possibly lucrative.

Mila : Can you explain how Sky BOSS and what kind of services it offers to users?

Teddies Luong : In short, SkyBOSS is an Arcade Idle NFT game set in a distant future in which the human civilization is on the edge of annihilation, combining familiar gameplay which everyone can get used to at a glance, Idle mode to play and earn effortlessly, and diverse NFT items to buy, collect, upgrade and sell freely. Our services to offer is just like other other games: – Play – to – earn with 3 modes: Idle mode – An effortless way to excavate SBOSS, Story mode – thrilling and progressive adventures, and Battle mode – Brutal Arena for the best players – Fun and thrilling experience: sense of winning, achievement and satisfaction of players’ competitive edges. – NFT systems which are collectible ingame, trade-able on marketplace and upgrade-able to become stronger and more valuable. – Sustainable economy of token: that are managed by constraint eanr-and-burn mechanics and NERF functions – Staking to earn passively I think what take us apart is how SkyBOSS implements these service and prevent from mistakes that occur in others NFT games.

Mila : What sets you apart from other projects? What makes Sky BOSS so special that it can stand out from other projects?

Teddies Luong : This is gonna a long answer. As I said above, the diffierence is on how we operate and plan for our offered services. Here are our killing features: 1. The game genre that fits GameFi the best First, SkyBOSS’s design is based on the tried-and-true Arcade genre. Does the name Arcade ring any bell? The R&D team at Xotech did their research and found out that it is the most popular game genre in the market at the moment. The average number of daily active users for Arcade games is 35.000, three times that of Casual games. The advantage of this old school style is its simplicity. Do not have time for lengthy instructions? Got it, take a 5-second glance at SkyBOSS and you can jump right into fighting evil bosses. This feature is especially relevant for the GameFi industry, which, at the moment, is still dominated by token miners and not hard-core gamers. 2. Effortless mode for busy ones SkyBOSS also offers an Idle mode, the most suitable mode for players with a limited amount of time. One can choose up to 3 maps and a maximum of 3 JETs per map, and leave the JETs to do their work in the background. Each section in Idle mode is pretty short, lasting only 15 to 20 minutes. Once players get back, their tokens – SBOSS, SkyUP, pNFTs in the SkyBOSS world – are already waiting to be collected in their account. Thus, SkyBOSS provides its players with flexibility to earn while multitasking in real life. 3. Sustainable economy for long lifespan Moreover, the SkyBOSS team tackles the question in every GameFi industry investor’s mind: “how to keep users in the game even when token resources shrink?” SkyBOSS’s solution lies in its in-game economy plans. When a player first starts the game, it would be easy to mine tokens, but with time, the difficulty level goes up. The fewer tokens left in the pool, the harder it is to earn them. However, in exchange, players will gradually receive NFT pieces, which can be assembled into a complete piece and sold for real-life currency. This progression ensures that in the long run, players will transform from token miners into NFT curators, while still having a vested interest in the game. 4. Balanced earn and burn token Now, when players have multiple opportunities to earn tokens, how to make use of them? Nobody wants a repeat of Axie Infinity’s SLP fiasco. (The game’s lackluster burn mechanics lead to an imbalance between SLP minting and consumption, and the overabundance of tokens eventually drove the price down 93% from its highest point). The creators of SkyBOSS take that lesson seriously and come up with 3 methods for users to burn their tokens: (1) As the NFT has own expiry day after which the NFT will be no longer usable, players have to use tokens to renew it; (2) During gameplay, players have to confront with mighty bosses, so using tokens to upgrade NFT items by level-up system is the key to win against them; and (3) to make your NFT more advance and rarer in the market, players will forge NFTs, meaning that players uses 3 NFTs to craft into 1 brand-new NFT with higher stats.

Mila : What are the plans for offline expansion? Are you focusing on market at this time or focus on building and developing or growing the community and users, or partnerships?

Teddies Luong : Yes, this time is a very critical for us to build trust among communities. In this August, SkyBOSS will focus on building an internal community, and establishing partnership with external communities by implementing Airdrops, Minigames, and AMAs on a regular basis. Such community as Kenzo Ventures is a typical example. Besides, we are preparing for the first NFT sale at the end of this month. We’ll put 500 Mega JETboxes for sale, with prices ranging from 50$ to 100$/box. This is once-of-the-lifetime chance to get the rare box with special price, the box that have nearly 15 times greater chance to get high-class ingame NFT items.

Teddies Luong : We has followed our roadmap and met all our goals untill recently. You guy can see the overall roadmap in this link: https://docs.skyboss.io/roadmap-and-completed-milestones However, the difficulties are always comming in unexpected way. For example, we are taking a little bit more time to get my contract verified by audit agency. We are working with Verichan and continuously update our code for weeks to have certificate from Verichan. Hopefully, the audit will be completed in 2 weeks from now. One more difficulty is from external factor such as the downtrend of the crypto market in general and GamFi in particular. However, it is expected that September and October will be a new beginning for the market as several major game studios will release their games then. We plan to launch our game at the same time too. September is not far from now, so be prepared for a new wave of the crypto market, and look out for our SkyBOSS as well.
