Treasure Land Coin (TLC) - World’s first cryptocurrency mined in an Android and iOS game
It’s like PokemonGO with a blockchain and crypto
Description of the game
Treasure Land is a virtual world where the player’s main objective is to explore, travel and mine valuable ores which contain the TreasureLand coins (TLC). Players travel through the Treasure Land by moving with their phones in the real world.
The game takes the phone’s GPS based location and translates it to a location inside the Treasure Land and you can see your character moving inside the virtual world along with you in the real world.The purpose of the player in the Treasure Land is to find, mine and process valuable ores scattered around the world in order to receive the TreasureLand coins (TLC).
Coins are “hidden” inside ores that the player can see on the map. The player must then mine the ore, and process it into the actual TLCs.
Gameplay mechanics
Moving around the map requires actual movement in the real world. Think of it like PokemonGO with coins involved.
In order to begin the mining process of the ore, players must approach them and tap on the ore. This will initiate the Mining Mini-Game.
The Mining Mini-Game is a fun, interactive process in which the player must tap the screen in order to stop the arrow in the green zone. The more green zones the player manages to tap the arrow on, the faster the ore will be mined. So, mining speeds depends on the player’s skill with the Mining Mini-Game.
Once the ore has been mined and the player has collected it, he must then venture to the Blacksmith.
The Blacksmith can turn the player’s ore into valuable TLCs which the player can then use on his further adventures inside the Treasure Land, or sell them on an exchange.
Where is this game going?
As you can see, the game is fairly simple. But, it’s just the beginning version of it. The Release version. When we first designed the Treasure Land, it was obvious to us that the potentials of a virtual world centered around a cryptocurrency are unlimited. That’s the direction we want to take the game in. Towards a full RPG experience. It will take time and numerous updates and new features, but we will get there.
Treasure Land’s developer team is dedicated to the maximum. That’s why we want to design, create and implement new features to the game on a MONTHLY basis.
Some examples of updates that will come in the first months after the release:
Drilling Mini-Game. The player’s will have an option to activate the Power Drill at any time. The Power Drill has a 30 minute fuel timer and it allows the player to shake their phone in order to activate the drill which then extracts ore from the ground. This method of Mining allows players to have some mining activity if they are currently somehow busy and unable to venture through the Land.
Skill system. The game will be introduced with skill trees that will allow players to train certain skills that will improve their activities in the game.
Mount. Players will receive a portable mount that they can hop on and explore the Treasure Land with a joystick without having to travel around the Land with the GPS.
One of the possible solutions to help the coin maintain and rise in value is to develop a completely new app that would provide a useful service and would use TLCs to do so. We want to show that we are not aware of only one direction, but several in which we can take TLC. Our development doesn’t just revolve around the game, but the coin as a whole.
Who and what is behind this?
Currently our dev team is 7 man strong. 4 main devs who have worked together on several crypto based projects in the past and 3 new talented employees we have brought in to help us with the massive work TLC needs to achieve what we have envisioned.
Our community was built through the first app we published, the Phuketcoin app. Phuketcoin achieved a lot of success and introduced us to the amazing community that we still actively engage with today. As a matter of fact, all of our community members from Phuketcoin have received free TLCs during the pre-mine allocation. We are not one of those dev teams that abandon old supporters.
https://phuketcoin.com/First game that we published was based around Phuketcoin, and it’s a fully working multiplayer game where players engage in a battle royale type combat, shooting each other with different spells in order to be the last man standing. How was it based around Phuketcoin? The first concept was to let players bet their coins and the winner takes all. That would have been the easiest solution. As it turned out, this type of gambling is illegal in China, and a great part of our community is there. We put the community building first, so we did not break the law. Our desire to win over the largest part of the Chinese market prevailed, and so the betting concept was abandoned. Even though it was the easiest solution, quick money, both for us and the community, we decided to go with quality.
https://gotigame.com/Tech talk. Our blockchain
Treasure Land Coin uses private blockchain technology. Although it is designed to enable private blockchains, TreasureLand’s blockchain provides maximal compatibility with the bitcoin ecosystem, including the peer-to-peer protocol, transaction/block formats and Bitcoin Core APIs/runtime parameters.
Since our blockchain is tied to a game specific coin, mining occurs a bit differently than in standard coins.
We have to differentiate between coin mining and coin distribution. Coin mining, as in validation of blocks, is done privately in our system. This was done in order to prevent any 3rd parties from tampering with the system, since it's rather easy to do a 51 attack.
In our system that is impossible. Additionally, block time in our blockchain is about 2 seconds.
All the coins have been pre-mined to a wallet in the system from which the coins are distributed to users. Coin distribution is done via in-game activities (mining ores).
Players play the Treasure Land game and earn coins through in-game activities and these coins are sent from the pre-mined wallet to their personal wallets.
Every player in our system will automatically receive a wallet address hosted by us, but everyone also has the right to download a local wallet and keep their coins
away from us.
Our blockchain also has a block explorer which users can use to keep an eye on things if they wish.
The code is public on github and everyone can check it out. It's evident that we cannot by any circumstances generate additional coins.
Any other changes that would be done to the blockchain must first be approved by the congress of admins of the system.
We are the main genesis admins, and we can allocate admins. If there are 100 seats in the admin congress, 51 admins need to vote yes on a change to the
blockchain in order to get it passed.
This blockchain system is completely public, transparent, and it will be obvious to people that there is nothing we can hide.
TLC ICO data
First of all, big shoutout to icogogo.com and 12lian.com
Guys over there hosted our ICO, led by one of the top Chinese blockchain experts - boss Kim, the 12lian.com founder. TLC’s ICO was finished in a matter of several hours. That alone shows the expertise of the 12lian and icogogo team.
We’d like to thank the amazing support we have received from our community, ranging from early feedback on first TLC concepts, to the actual ICO where our community once again showed that they are the best. We take that as a fact.
As the ICO was approaching, we witnessed a massive interest for TLC, a lot of it from our old supporters, but also a lot of fresh members impressed by the early concept app screenshots. There was a lot of coin sale room there. We could have sold 90% of the coin supply, but again we decided to focus on building a healthy ecosystem. We decided to sell 20% of the coin supply as it’s quite enough for us to keep up the work and expand our development resources comfortably. That’s what we are in for. A good, healthy system that makes everyone happy.
We could have been greedy, but in our mind it’s better to make most of the coins available to the community.
Here is the actual data related to the ICO and generally coin distribution:
1. 200 million coins have been sold during the ICO.
2. 250 million coins will be distributed to the Phuketcoin community based on the conversion rate mentioned above.
3. 50 million coins will be reserved for the development. For example, bounties and other rewards that go to the community
4. 500 million coins will be distributed through the game to users. In other words, mined.
We want to inform everyone that we believe it’s ok for us to reserve the right to allocate these coins freely. This doesn’t mean they are going into our pocket. We want to maintain a part of these coins as a reserve used to reinvigorate the GOTI game or quite possibly, use them for a new app in the future.
