Sunflower Land - Play 2 Own Farming Game

Introduction

Sunflower Land attempts to recreate the conditions of a real-life market economy. Supply and demand drive every in-game aspect. Some resources will be more scarce and more valuable than others.

The use of a halving mechanism attempts to reflect the real-world supply and demand.

Sunflower Land mirrors the real world of farming. You need tools to harvest your land, resources to feed your animals, and ingredients to make your dishes. Buy, sell and trade all these resources, tools, and products. 

Sunflower Land highlights the differences between humans and goblins. Humans centralize by nature, and Goblins follow different rules. Humans follow strict rules. It represents all the off-chain gameplay:

• Farming

• Minting

• Raising Animals

• Chopping Wood

• Craft items

• Explore & collect resources

Goblins are all about decentralized protocols:

• Minting is items & NFTs

• Liquidity Pools

• Withdrawing/Depositing

• Resource trading

Gameplay

Sunflower Land is a low barrier to entry ($5). You start the game with a plot of land. After signing up, you can mint your own piece of land, which you can build up from the ground. Collect the right in-game assets or buy the necessary tools to progress.

Everything you collect throughout Sunflower Land is an NFT. To craft an NFT, you must plant, harvest, chop, mine, fish, and gather all the ingredients needed. Hard work is required to succeed!

Crop farming

A farmer knows everything starts with a good harvest. Farm crops and collect resources to mint rare in-game items. Sell your produce for the native token $SFL, or use crops to craft recipes. The natural supply and demand determine the price of these NFTs.

Different crops are:

• Sunflower

• Potato

• Pumpkin

• Carrot

• Cabbage

• Beetroot.

Other recipes are:

• Pumpkin Soup

• Sauerkraut

• Roast Cauliflower

• Radish Pie

Raising Animals

Become an animal farmer and take care of your animals. Would you instead raise chickens, cows, fish, or bees? Every animal is essential for the food chain supply. Cows give milk, chickens provide eggs, and bees produce honey. Like the real-life economy, these animals need food. Buy the right food, so your animals can give you eggs, milk, or honey. You can then sell these in-game items.

Resource Gathering

Being a farmer is more accessible when you have the right tools. It saves you time, and you can harvest even more. Sunflower Land has different devices which help you farm more efficiently. Every tool has a specific use case:

• Axe

• Fishing Rod

• Hammer

Assets & Ecosystem

$SFL

The native currency of Sunflower Lands is the SFL token. It has a maximum supply of 100,000,000 tokens. You use $SFL for all the in-game purchases and trades in the in-game marketplace. There is a halving event to re-evaluate the prices of an in-game asset. The halving event is to mirror a real-world economy.

NFT land

It all starts with minting your own NFT land. This plot of land is accessible to mint and is the backbone of Sunflower Land. Although the game consists of 150+ tradable in-game NFTs, your land is not one of them. You cannot sell your land on the secondary market. If you do, a smart contract will destroy your land.

Halving Event

As more people farm and the overall supply increases, the rewards decrease. A classic example of natural supply and demand. This means that early players will receive more rewards for harvesting. These rewards are based on the total supply of the token. The more tokens in supply, the lower the rewards in SFL.

In-game marketplace 

Sunflower Land has an in-game marketplace, the Goblin village. The game supports more than 150+ different NFTs and collectibles. You can sell every crop you harvest or piece of wood you chop on the in-game marketplace. Use your well-earned SFL tokens to purchase in-game items like animals, food, and tools. This helps you progress faster in the game.

Although the token becomes more scarce, all NFTs keep their price. These SFL tokens are sent to a burn address when you craft an item. Items will become harder to acquire over time, ensuring the token's demand.

Wishing Well

Provides liquidity and receives rewards. Players will pay a specific tax when they withdraw tokens from their farm. Part of this amount is sent to the ‘Wishing Well.’ This play mechanism rewards players for their loyalty.
