BattleForest: A White Paper

1. Introduction

player participation over automation. These include PvP arena battles, boss battles, empire-building, quests, guilds, creature hunting, lots and lots of random exploration, and much more! All gameplay modes are interconnected within the BattleForest ecosystem. Did I mention the unique strategy, hardcore competition and endless amounts of fun? What about the crypto rewards and getting in ground floor on a token-driven economy, before it takes off? 🚀 I know I mentioned that mystical, forest-themed metaverse full of secrets to explore! Anyway, if all the above sounds pretty good to you then... welcome my friends. Welcome to the forest.#BattleForest combines web3 with an immersive metaverse of unique games, designed from the ground up to create and maintain a thriving, long-term, player-driven economy that rewards

2. Gameplay Overview

BattleForest is set against the backdrop of an unexplored, magical metaforest, full of adventure and mysteries to uncover. At a high-level, the game combines elements of RPGs, strategic card battling, and immersive multi-player exploration. Basically, every player can have their own unique experience in BattleForest, within the one or more gameplay modes they enjoy the most. Or play every single game! It's really up to you.

Forest Champions

The primary way that players interact with the game is through the recruitment of Forest Champions or Champions for short. Champions are playable characters within one or more BattleForest game. Forest Champions are tasked with "doing" all the things that need "being done" in each game. This includes everything. From protecting a player's forest plots, to battling other players in arena battles, to expanding a player's control over new plots... exploring, questing, securing valuable resources... searching for lost treasures hidden deep within the forest... the list goes on and on!

Magical Creatures

The forest is also full of crazy adorably cute creatures around every turn. Yet somehow, they're also usually very deadly and viscous too 🤷‍♂ Capture and train them into playable Champions of their own, or just kill them and take all their magical energy. Also fine to just stay the heck out of their way!

Forest Exploration

Players traverse diverse forest land types from enchanted pine groves, to swampy tar pits, to rocky snow-covered peaks and beyond. Each land type offers its own unique challenges but, at the same time, its own unique potential for valuable resources, rewards, and interesting creatures to encounter. Forest exploration is rewarded with NFT items which can be used in-game or sold to other players via the in-game marketplace.

Arena Battles

Players engage in tactical turn-based arena battles, where strategy is key. Combat involves deploying Champions to the battle arena and synergizing their abilities for maximum effect, while also countering the effects of their opponent's Champions. Battles range from one team versus one team, to epic multi-team battles.

Crafting and Customization

Craft weapons, armor, and tools from resources collected in the game. Enhance your Champions with upgrades, create powerful combinations, and personalize your characters to optimize the gameplay modes you like best.

Quests, Bosses & Guilds

Participate in story-driven quests, where you are part of the story! Everything from finding lost relics, to capturing mysterious and elusive creatures hidden deepest in the forest. Or join up with crew and go take down that forest dragon everyone has been talking about, but that no one has beaten yet! Players can also join guilds, participate in co-op missions, and compete in guild-versus-guild battles for dominance over strategic regions of the forest. All of these activities are rewarded with $BFT tokens (discussed below), NFTs, and other game progression opportunities.

3. HIVE Integration

BattleForest embraces the power of the Hive blockchain by making all in-game assets NFTs, such as characters, items, and land plots.


Champion NFTs

For example, each Forest Champion is an NFT, giving it unique stats, abilities, and rarity levels. Champions NFTs can be bought, sold, or traded via the in-game marketplace.

Item NFTs

Weapons, armor, and utility items are also NFTs. They're tradable on the BattleForest in-game marketplace, allowing players to buy, sell, or trade gear for optimal performance based on their style and preferred gameplay mode.

Land NFTs

Players can purchase, trade and develop certain parcels of land within the BattleForest metaverse. Each tradable land parcel is an NFT on the Hive blockchain. Owning land generates passive $BFT rewards and offers a host of unique gameplay opportunities. This includes fortification, buildings, resource farming, special quests and access to exclusive magical creature types.

4. Tokenomics

BattleForest’s economy ensures a sustainable and rewarding system for players.


$BFT (BattleForest Token)

  • Primary in-game currency for purchasing items, upgrading and crafting items.
  • Players with staked $BFT get a portion of marketplace fees and game revenue.
  • $BFT also functions as the governance token for voting rights on game-related decisions.

5. Economic Sustainability and Growth

  • Play2Earn Rewards: The P2E rewards system is carefully designed from the ground up. Sustainability and player growth are the top priority. Rewards are earned by playing and distributed primarily as $BFT and item NFTs. The system ensures that earning opportunities go to you, the real players, and aren't exploitable by massive multi-account automatization.

  • Burn Mechanisms: A portion of $BFT spent in the game is burned (ie, permanently removed from circulation) to provide deflationary pressures on a fixed supply, maintaining value over time. For example, a portion of the tokens spent on crafting or enhancing magical items are permanently burned.

  • Marketplace Fees: BattleForest NFTs can only be bought or sold via the in-game marketplace. The marketplace charges small transaction fees, part of which is redistributed to players based on staked $BFT, and part of which is burned as described above.

  • Development of the BattleForest engine and core gameplay mechanics.
  • Launch of the NFT marketplace.

Phase II: Early Access

  • Initial minting of Champion NFTs and Land NFTs.
  • Release of core gameplay features (exploration, crafting item NFTs, and arena battles).
  • Community-building initiatives and partnerships.

Phase III: Expansion

  • Introduction of quests, bosses, guilds, and multiplayer arena battles.
  • Advanced land development mechanics (fortification, resource farming, buildings).
  • Seasonal events with exclusive rewards.

Phase IV: Full Release

  • Full rollout of governance features and DAO implementation.
  • Launch of mobile and VR-compatible versions of BattleForest.
  • Ongoing content updates, including new land types, new quests, new items, new Champions and new creatures. Always fresh!

BattleForest combines an immersive metaworld with blockchain technology, sustainable tokenomics, and an engaging, unique variety of games to fall in love with. BattleForest empowers players. BattleForest rewards community. Welcome to the forest. Welcome to BattleForest.

Looks very promising! I'll keep an eye out for more news

I love the concept SS :)

This looks pretty awesome if you ask me! I hope you can take it from vision -> reality

Remember, it may seem daunting... but how do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time!

For real, i work at a tech startup in california. we come up with ideas. then we make them happen 💪 we don't ask any questions in between. yes, its hard. yes, its grueling. thats what makes it worth it. otherwise why do it?

The idea that "an idea" is wasting someones' time 😱 that's so far afield from my culutre bubble, i had to remember that "oh yeah, some people do get discouraged by a challenge" 😅 not a singe person i interact with irl. 100% opposite 💪 our motto is to embrace ! Thats why we always win I guess?

HAH! I love it!! That's how I started my restaurant in the beginning :)

That's also kinda how I am going about restarting it!

Do you have the timeline of each phase?

No timelines yet!

what is this? sounds amazing. is it being built right now? whose project is this? any more details on this?

thanks! it's mostly just in my head right now, but i wanted to get it out of my head on onto the screen 😅

oh, so its nothing. i got excited reading about this for nothing...

sorry.. well that's just one way to view I guess?

another way to view it is... you got excited! me too! let's build this... 💪
