The Gameplay

It's all about the game and how you play it, all about control and if you can take it...

So you registered and staked your early access "Fortune Dollar" or character NFT and you opened a new game and what you see first is the map of "Willows Creek", the city where everything happens.

Our "Spirit of Success" will by your guide through the first steps explaining the map and the game mechanics in real time. You can also ask him about various features, so think of him as a FAQ and Help section in one, just cuter and smarter.

First steps

When you look at the map, you'll notice that a lot of places are grayed out. Those are the ones you need to unlock with smart gaming. However, there is the colorful "Hearthside Haven" zone with the fireplace in the middle of a park. This is the place you need to start. The bunch of buildings surrounding that park are the ones you can visit and start your business journey. For the start 5 buildings will be unveiled but within time, more are about to pop up. The basic actual gameplay already starts as a combination of pretty much every other idle clicker /incremental game you might already know spiced with NFTs and AI.

First, you now need to enter the zone and than the building and stake a character NFT to unlock the buildings production line. Next hit the progress bars of the Powerplant, Human Resource and Santiment on the side, which are the actual idle part of the game. The bars will fill itself and you need to click again. At a certain point, you´ll be able to automate the clicking and the progress will run on it´s own.

Congrats, you just started a new business journey! Now it's time to spice things up with web3 ....

Take a walk around and upgrade

The next step is to visit the other buildings and do the same as soon as you can. You'll see that a bunch of buildings are collected to zones. The buildings in the zone and progress bars are interconnected. Some examples are:

• Reach Level 3 at building "Hearthside Brew"" in the Hearthside Haven zone unlocks level 2 "0% interest savings account" at the main bank building in the "Fortune Towers" zone.

• Reach level 2 at building "Auditorium Brimborium" at the conference hall zone unlocks Level 3 "5th story please" at the Bureaucracy Plaza zone

• Reach Level 7 "Purchase politicians" at Bureaucracy Plaza unlocks Level 8 "Shareholders meeting club" at the Fortune Towers

Adding the NFTs to the mix

To upgrade your buildings production you need to upgrade not only the bars of energy (Powerplant), work/life balance (Human Resource) and mood (Santiment) but also smartly stake additional character NFTs.

Every building has 3 slots for character NFTs. The higher the level of rarity the more it produces, meaning having all 3 slots filled with Epic NFTs will max out the production line. However, every building has a secret "special combo" of NFTs that add another layer of push.

If you lack one NFT you can either forge it by e.g. using 5 Common NFTs to forge one Rare or by trading one of yours on the market, or simply purchase a new one at the same place.

Why is this important? The more the buildings produce, the more Fortune Dollar you make which in turn you can exchange to SMRTY token which again you can exchange to USDT or USDC and cash out.

Incidents

If you ever started a business in real life you know for a fact, nothing goes 100% like planned and there are always obstacles coming up you have not thought about. It's even more so if you have influential enemies......

So, accompanying Jake back to the top, you will face some hurdles and setbacks which you need to deal with or lose progress value. More info in the Incidents section.

Boosters

Special Boosters will be available from time to time and for purchase for small money. Those boosters will increase the progress bars speed according to their respective power level. Details in the Booster section.

Move-and-earn

In the final version, you´ll be able to gain momentum in the game and earn additional money and NFTs by simply walking around in real life in the real world!!! Details in the move-and-earn section.
