Making gamers from investors and investors from gamers. We started our journey not a long time ago. We love the Elrond ecosystem, the blockchain itself and its ability to scale to a whole new level. We designed Turtle’s Charm as a Play-To-Earn game because we want to bring the passionate gamers on the blockchain. We are veterans in the Elrond ecosystem and we want to give back to others what we learned in these years. We decided to have fun developing, that is why we ecourage every developer to give it a try on the Elrond blockchain. You will be surprised of how supportive is the community. **Market size and opportunity:** “According to app usage statistics, both males and females spend more than 60 minutes playing a game on their mobile phones or computers on a daily basis. In 2019, around 2.4 billion people will play mobile games. 52% of gamers play on their personal computers. 42% of Americans play video games every week.” Number of gamers world-wide: 3.07 B 300 million global crypto users as of 2021 1,718,872 Elrond wallets with non-zero amounts
The gaming area is the next adoption zone for Web3 & Blockchain.
The gaming area is a starting point for the next Web3 projects. With a huge potential like this, we put on the belts and started the rocket. After doing our reseach, we began to develop a product that the mainstream consumer will love. **Our product:** *Turtle's Charm – Legends of Goldiah* is the main product but many more to come after getting exposure and trust, leading to a healthy adoption among our users/investors. **Turtle's Charm has pointed 3 major problems in our society:** 1. *Time is an important resource for gamers all around the globe* - In our free time, we all love to spend some time on our favorite game, on the phone, on the computer, at work, in the subway. If you find a catchy game, you will need time to invest, which often leads to regrets and bad feed-backs. 2. *Playing games involves investing money, but not making money* - "Did you saw the Elden Ring game? It is insane, I would love to play it! It is $60, but I will pay for it!" . We pay for games everytime. Even if it is a digital copy or a physical one, even the small package for just $4.99 for that double XP, we often do this, even if we regret it after or not. 3. *Even if you build an in-game character, a house or a land you don't own it* - Yes, that warrior flying equipped 269 tier 4/5 that you invested all your free time in is not actually yours. When you clicked " Register" you also checked those "Terms & conditions" which nobody actually reads them. It is clearly stated "With the sole exception of the Licensors’ Games, "The game" is the owner or licensee of all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, all virtual content appearing within the Platform, Characters, virtual goods such as items etc" you got the point! Turtle's Charm aims to be a Web3 Play-To-Earn game. Web3 is about owning, that's why we offer your "share of the pie". **Our solution is based on 3 points:** We want to accelerate the Web3 adoption through a play-to-earn game. 1. *Have fun* - Turtle's Charm aims to design a captivant game with quests and competitive strategies, providing the same gaming experience that you can get on your local game store, but on blockchain. 2. *Own* - Owning a NFT is giving you access to our whole ecosystem, including owning your character/land/in-game items. 3. *Earn* - Your time, your money! We designed a way to value our customers by offering them a way to benefit their time spent playing. More details regarding tokenomics and sustainability will be provided later when the token will deploy. **Traction:** **We listed our NFT on a secondary market, you can find it here:** We are also waiting for the official market of the Elrond Blockchain and applied for another two secondary markets: Deadrare and Frameit. We built our brand, vision, core team, social media channels and website to be in contact with our potential investors/customers. **Why is Turtle’s Charm different from other projects in terms of budget?** Our project is not profit-oriented. We are doing this with passion, bringing new talents in this community-supported project. We don’t really pay wages. The project’s success is our succes and we are here to stay. *Our profit begins when the game is fully developed and ready for public use.* **Can I play the game on my phone?** In the beginning, we will make our game available only on the Windows/Mac, because of the variety of graphics and functions that we can develop for computer use. It was hard to choose between phone and computer, so we concluded with: The full game with all the functions will only be available on computer. For the mobile version, we will develop a specific app designed to help you with stats of your in-game inventory, progress, tutorials and news, making it a more lite version of the game where you can check a specific status. Maybe, in the future, we will add different mini-games, a roulette, but for the moment, we are mainly focused on the computer app for the actual game.
