Produce, Trade and Raid dope on the blockchain! Respect has a price.

DopeRaider is a smart ass contract multiplayer RPG about underground drug business in a world with a unique economy.

Players begin their life as a Narco with a individual skill-set, some basic consumables and a home in one of the seven districts - each with a culture and advantage of their own.

No Ordinary Collectibles

Unlike many of the collectible ‘games’ out there, DopeRaider is an active strategy game with real in-game multiplayer actions. By performing actions, Narcos can earn more respect, opening up more possibilities like buying better equipment, changing identity and recruiting new Narcos.

Narcos can make their living (real cryptocurrency) by growing weed, processing cocaine, trading product at district markets or by raiding each other.

Professional Crypto Gaming

This simple premise combined with a solid supply/demand economic design driving the markets - this game sees itself as a platform for professional bounty hunters to make a real living in crypto gaming.

All funds raised from district activities like travelling, raiding or producing dope is used to fund the local drug pots. Sales of consumables like gas, ammo or upgrade items like guns are used to keep the district economies afloat. By using POA as the in-game currency, DopeRaider doesn’t need to create a yet another ICO or token sale.

District dope prices vary depending on how much is available for sale (Supply) by the local Narcos (their combined stash). When a lot of dope enters an area, the price will fall. When it leaves, the price will rise. This creates a lot of opportunity for profit. Players can watch the district markets and pick the best arbitrage opportunities, just like real markets.

No Lengthy Roadmap

DopeRaider is doing things differently, and sees itself as a cocky antidote to the endless fundraising and interminable roadmaps with that are the hallmark of many crypto games.

DopeRaider is not intended to be an investors club - the philosophy has been to make the system first, then release and build community. The team believe in the economy and gameplay enough that it will be self-sustaining.

Why POA Network and not Ethereum?

Simply put, Ethereum is not suitable for fast microtransactions. Huge gas prices and delays mean games are put on hold until those periods pass. “Like launching a boat hire service in a hurricane” is what our lead says. So after much searching, we found the perfect solution : POA Network.

The transition was seamless, and we found players eager to adopt the new network in return for responsive and addictive gameplay.

Conclusion

DopeRaider is the ultimate gum for the millennial crypto psyche. Mixing up professional gaming, crypto strategy and risky content, this game isn't a cutesy toy like many others.

DopeRaider takes not taking the blockchain seriously, seriously. A cult classic before it's even launched!
