Gold Fever is a blockchain-based, free-to-play, multiplayer survival role-playing game (RPG) operating in the competitive gaming and Play-to-Earn (P2E) market. The company was founded in 2020 by Emilian Ciocanea, who also serves as the CEO. Ciocanea is a serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in business and product management and has been involved in the crypto space since 2016, including investing in over 50 ICOs. The game is being developed by Bitter Cherry Productions and is headquartered in Bucharest, Romania.
The business model centers on a decentralized, player-driven economy built on blockchain technology. Revenue is generated through taxes on in-game activities and the sale of limited-edition Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The company introduced the concept of "Commercial NFTs," which allows players to own in-game businesses, such as stores or transportation services, and generate revenue from them even when not actively playing. The primary in-game currency is the Native Gold Token ($NGL), an ERC20 token that represents the gold resource players can mine. A secondary governance token, Julius' Brain (JBR), allows participants to vote on the game's future development.
The game is set in the early 20th century on a remote island jungle, where players join one of two factions: Adventurers seeking riches or Tribals defending their land. The core gameplay involves a struggle for control over "mining claims," which are PVP arenas where players extract gold ($NGL). Players must contend with a hostile environment, dangerous wildlife, and the opposing faction. The game features high-quality 3D graphics and emphasizes complex strategy and cooperation among players. All significant in-game assets, including mining claims, vehicles, buildings, and tools, are represented as NFTs, giving players true ownership. These NFTs have direct utility in the game and can be rented, leased, or sold, creating multiple income streams for players.
