We keep the following principles and fundamentals in mind when designing our game and its mechanics.&#x20;

In going through the various features of Crossroads: Myth below, you will come across some of these principles in action, either alone or in conjunction with another.&#x20;

### 1. Accessibility and Affordability&#x20;

At the heart of our game, we believe Crossroads: Myth should be as accessible and affordable as possible to players worldwide.&#x20;

This ensures a wider distribution of players and reduces any financial risk or commitment.

### 2. **Asset Growth and Value Accumulation**

At the same time, we believe it is essential for players’ assets to grow in value over time, depending on his/her strategies and actions taken.&#x20;

In this way, our in-game assets’ value reflect not only its utility, but also a player’s investment in time, effort, and resources.

### **3. Minimize Pay-To-Win Disparities**

Although high-spending players may gain certain advantages, we acknowledge the necessity of maintaining a balanced playing field.&#x20;

Through the combination of time-based requirements and the Action Point system, Crossroads: Myth limits the influence of financial resources and provides fairer opportunities to all players.

### 4. **Strategy, Skills, and Luck**

Beyond financial resources, and to foster an engaging and competitive environment, players will have to make decisions based on their strategy and skills.&#x20;

Luck and serendipity may also prove to be more important at times.

### 5. **Community and Collaborative Gameplay**

Emphasizing community engagement and group-play aligns with the ethos of web3 communities, and forms an integral part of our game's development.&#x20;

We aim to bolster community-driven interaction and promote collaborative problem-solving.

### 6. **Casual and Time-Efficient Gameplay**

Recognizing that our primary audience comprises working adults within the web3 community, we make Crossroads: Myth enjoyable without demanding excessive time commitment.&#x20;

Our game design will prioritize casual, fun, and yet time-efficient gameplay.&#x20;

### 7. **Scalability and Flexibility**

Crossroads: Myth is also designed with scalability in mind and can accommodate an ever-increasing player base without compromising or distorting the gameplay mechanics.&#x20;

### 8. **Innovative and Unique Gameplay**

We endeavor to develop unique gameplay elements that can cater to both casual and competitive web3 players, distinguishing Crossroads: Myth from other blockchain-based games as a unique game on its own.
