*Phase 1: Refining Token Utility & Building Ecosystem*
1. *Utility Expansion Planning*
- Refine the token’s role within the game ecosystem, adding utility beyond being a meme coin (e.g., in-game currency, rewards, staking benefits).
- Outline the token’s use in your play-to-burn mechanism, staking rewards, and NFT marketplace.
2. *NFT Concept & Design*
- Develop initial concepts for meme-based NFT characters and items, with different traits and rarity tiers.
- Design these NFTs to fit the aesthetic and theme of the meme universe you’re building.
3. *Community Engagement & Pre-launch Marketing*
- Use your Telegram and Twitter to engage with followers, sharing sneak peeks of NFT designs, game development progress, and utility plans.
- Run polls or meme contests to involve the community in the development process (e.g., vote on characters or features).
*Phase 2: NFT Minting, Staking Platform, and Marketplace Setup*
1. *NFT Development & Minting*
- Develop and mint your NFTs on the XRP Ledger or an interoperable platform. These NFTs could represent meme characters, in-game skins, or special items.
2. *Staking Platform & Rewards*
- Build a staking mechanism for NFT holders, where they can stake NFTs to earn token rewards leading up to game release.
- Enable token staking for additional rewards, encouraging both long-term holding and engagement with the ecosystem.
3. *Play-to-Burn Mechanism Implementation*
- Design and test the play-to-burn model in the marketplace where in-game purchases (e.g., special abilities, upgrades) require tokens, which are then partially burned to maintain token scarcity.
- Educate the community about the benefits of this burn mechanism through social media.
Phase 3: Game Development & Initial Beta Testing*
1. *Prototype Development*
- Begin developing the game with basic mechanics, using the NFT meme characters as playable avatars.
- Include a limited selection of maps, gameplay modes, and initial assets, making sure the mechanics align with your Call of Duty Mobile-inspired vision.
2. *Integration of NFTs into Gameplay*
- Enable players to link their wallets and use NFTs as in-game avatars or for cosmetic customization.
- Program rarity-based advantages or special moves for certain NFTs, creating value for holding rarer or unique characters.
3. *Closed Beta Testing & Feedback Loop*
- Conduct a closed beta with NFT holders and early supporters. Gather feedback to improve the game mechanics, NFT integration, and play-to-burn mechanics.
- Use beta testers’ feedback to fix bugs, enhance gameplay, and improve token integration.
4. *Community Events & Contests*
- Launch exclusive events for beta testers and community members (e.g., in-game rewards, airdrops for active players).
- Host meme competitions to create buzz around game development and increase brand visibility on social media.
Phase 4: Game Launch Preparation & Merch Shop*
1. *Merch Shop Setup on Website*
- Open an e-commerce section on your website, offering themed merchandise featuring your meme characters (e.g., clothing, accessories).
- Integrate a payment gateway accepting your token as a form of payment, incentivizing the token’s use outside of the game.
2. *Game Marketing & Partnerships*
- Work with influencers in the gaming and NFT communities to promote the game and its features.
- Continue hosting events and give exclusive previews to generate excitement for the game’s full launch.
3. *Public Beta & Last Testing Phase*
- Launch a public beta, allowing a larger group of players to try the game and provide final feedback.
- Address any remaining technical issues, optimize the NFT integration, and make necessary adjustments to play-to-burn mechanics.
4. *Token Utility Promotion*
- Educate your community on the expanded utility of the token, showcasing its role across the game, staking, and merch store.
- Consider a final staking bonus or NFT reward for long-term supporters to coincide with the official launch.
*Phase 5: Full Game Launch & Post-Launch Development*
1. *Official Game Launch*
- Launch the full game with polished features, allowing NFT holders to use their assets as avatars, skins, or items.
- Activate the play-to-burn mechanism in full, enabling players to make in-game purchases that burn tokens for continued deflation.
2. *Continuous Updates & New Content*
- Release regular updates with new maps, game modes, and NFT assets to keep the game engaging.
- Add seasonal events or limited-edition NFTs to maintain user interest and drive demand.
3. *Marketplace Expansion*
- Introduce an in-game marketplace for trading or renting NFTs, with a small transaction fee that burns tokens.
- Enable secondary market features, allowing players to monetize their NFTs by selling or renting them to others.
4. *Community-driven Development*
- Consider forming a DAO or introducing community voting on new game features, balancing community input with development goals.
- Continue rewarding active members and NFT holders through airdrops, exclusive in-game items, or other perks.
