ChronoForge is a multiplayer action role-playing game developed by Minted Loot Studios that combines fast-paced combat and base-building with optional web3 elements.
The game is designed to be played with or without NFTs and cryptocurrencies, providing flexibility for different types of players. It features randomized dungeons where players can engage in real-time combat, collect loot, and craft items.
In addition, the game also allows those who choose to mint in-game items, such as characters and gear, into carbon-neutral NFTs on Immutable X, an Ethereum layer 2 protocol.


game mechanics
ChronoForge offers a combination of combat, crafting, and base building. Players engage in real-time hack-and-slash combat in procedurally generated dungeons, where traps, enemies, and environments change with each run.
The game emphasizes teamwork, with different character classes (such as tanks, healers, damage dealers, etc.) working together to overcome increasingly difficult challenges. Outside of dungeons, players participate in base construction through trading companies that serve as production centers. These player-driven companies allow for resource gathering, crafting, and upgrading items.
In addition, players can participate in politics through the governance system and influence decisions that affect the entire game world and economy.


Economy and NFT
ChronoForge integrates NFTs into its economy, allowing players to mint characters, gear, and other assets as NFTs, but this feature is optional.
Players can enjoy the full game without using NFTs or cryptocurrencies. However, those who choose to join the web3 aspect can mint NFTs using the game’s $RIFT utility token, which is required to mint any in-game assets.
NFTs are carbon neutral and minted on the Immutable X blockchain, including items such as the Genesis Adventurer NFT, Support Airship, and Exploration Contract. These NFTs can be traded on the Immutable X Marketplace or OpenSea and play an important role in the in-game economy.
Key NFTs:
-
- RiftPass NFT: NFT tickets are required to participate in the ChronoForge season.
- Genesis Adventurer NFT: Playable characters come with a variety of in-game perks and abilities that enhance gameplay.
- Support airship: Help the dungeon run by providing support such as healing or crafting boosts.
- Exploration work: Governed land, allowing owners to tax resource extraction and participate in governance decisions.
- Pet NFT: NFTs provide stat boosts during RPG gameplay, such as different action sets and buffs.


$RIFT Token and In-Game Economy
The core of the ChronoForge economy is the $RIFT utility token, which players can use to mint NFTs and craft powerful items.
The game economy is designed to be sustainable, with built-in mechanisms to prevent oversupply of in-game assets. When players complete achievements and receive server-based items, they can choose to convert these items into tradable NFTs by burning $RIFT.
This system ensures that NFT production is balanced based on item importance and player demand.
Token Economics:
-
- $crack: The primary utility token for NFT minting, item creation, and governance participation.
- $timing: A legacy token used for certain in-game features, including minting contracts, but will soon be phased out by $RIFT.


Staking and Governance
In ChronoForge, staking NFTs plays a vital role in the game’s economy and governance.
Players can stake their Genesis Adventurer NFTs, support airships, and exploration contracts to earn rewards in the form of $RIFT tokens and increase their influence in trading companies.
Through staking, players can participate in governance decisions that shape the game world, such as determining trading company upgrades and resource management. Staking also provides in-game advantages, such as increasing rewards through multipliers based on the staked assets.
