At Big Time, one of our main design pillars is fair play, which is why we built our economy to be a âCosmetic Based Economyâ For comparison, in a typical free-to-play cosmetic economy, something such as League of Legends, Fortnite, or Valorant, the game studio would sell skins directly to the players.
At Big Time, instead, we empower our players by giving them the ability to craft cosmetics and letting them control the creation and selling of cosmetics in the game. By enabling them to do that, we are inviting them to be deeply rooted in our business model.
The way it works is that we create the 3D models, and then list the recipes for players to craft.
Our Cosmetics look awesome and they convey status and uniqueness. Our game is a multiplayer Action-RPG which makes it an excellent canvas to show off your unique Possessions.
All our Cosmetics are Digital Collectibles with a limited and immutable supply, meaning any given line of cosmetics will have a fixed number of copies, and that number will never change.
