Game Loot Network ICO

In the early days of gaming, no one could have predicted the video-game industry’s multi-billion dollar trajectory. Innovators evolved pixelated sidescrollers into digital odysseys through immersive lands. Design tools and development resources streamlined game-construction, and more games exist today than ever before.

Unfortunately, this wake of evolution catalyzed several issues within the industry. Specifically in mobile gaming, centralized platforms like the App and Google Play store monopolize the lionshare of the market’s audience. Apart from outlier exceptions, mobile games outside these exchanges struggle to gather a user base.

Within these overpopulated platforms, Indie developers lack the budget to compete with the corporate colossus. Design costs and marketing campaigns necessary to launch a successful game often preclude developers from delivering their visions; ideas fail despite their merit.

While gamers may not struggle to find games to play, their role in the market goes unrewarded. Companies rely on players for beta-testing, customer acquisition, and game curation. But, they rarely share rewards beyond in-app upgrades or early access to anticipated content. And though users are the obvious audience for games their desires rarely feel felt in the blueprinting stage of development; companies design game concepts without ground floor feedback from their future player-base. This leads to unwanted creations and frustrating features.

1.2 Mission Statement Game Loot Network

will champion developers and gamers by creating a virtual platform that rewards players with real-value and facilitates ‘any-budget’ game design.

1.3 Our Philosophy

We want to give artists the resources to create the games they envision and reward the players who populate their virtual worlds.

Game Loot Network will democratize the gaming experience, enabling developers to create and prosper regardless of gatekeepers or budget constraints. We want to give gamers a voice at the earliest stages of design so the games built are the ones people want to play.

Video-games offer rich narratives and interactive experiences unrivaled by any other medium. The space breeds creativity and innovation, but budgetary limitations, overbearing publishers, and marketing resources pigeonhole creatives. We want to transform the industry into a meritocracy where visionaries thrive even if they, at first, lack extensive budgets

Gaming Reimagined: The Platform

Together with the native LOOT cryptocurrency, the platform solves the systemic issues within the gaming industry. Users enter the application, create a login, and load the Game Loot Network™ lobby. The hub features three gateways

-Build
Through this portal developers and users access a crowdfunding catalog. Indie designers submit their game ideas to a list within this screen. Their proposal page might include screenshots, demos, or gameplay footage. Users offer LOOT tokens to sponsor auspicious projects. In exchange for their cryptocoins, backers receive a revenue generating percentage of the upcoming game. Developers reduce costs and gain an incentivized ground floor following. A decentralized collective thereby produces games through democratic demand. If an idea merits engagement it will be realized; creatives will thrive unburdened by budget constraints

• Play
  This doorway will host a decentralized app store and embedded games. Users can play within the platform or download curated titles. In a self-sustaining loop, ideas produced in the Build portal generate income for gamers and designers in the Play gateway.
• Earn
  The Earn gate offers an array of revenue generating tools. Through this door, players can enter three subset doorways: Competitive Tournaments
  — Tourney champions receive sleek electronics or LOOT token prize pools. Now any user can experience the thrill of high-stakes E-Sports. Referral System
  — An extensive progression system allows members to create high-yield residual commissions for sharing the platform. Battle Bidding
  — Online auctions pit players against the clock in competition for discounted gear. LOOT Store
  — Purchase premium membership, credits, bids

Game Loot Network foresees this template accommodating infinite expansion. As gaming technology creates new formats, such as VR, additional doorways will be added. A gateway for VR interactions has already been planned. Fresh features, based on community input, will always be in the works.

User Demographics and Types of Membership

• Game Developers
  Designers who construct games with the resources provided by the Build portal. Developers may also integrate existing games with the platform.
• Sightseers
  Free players are designated as ‘Sightseers’ in Game Loot Network™. They can play games for free, but they cannot enter tournaments, compete for real-life prizes OR earn
• Emissaries
  Groundbreakers enrolled in the referral system become Emissaries.
• Groundbreakers
  These are the premium network members. They gain entry into tournaments, crowdfund games for revenue, and produce recurring income.
• Curators
  Curators are Groundbreakers or Emissaries who submit LOOT to game designer’s indevelopment games. They are later reimbursed with recurring revenue based on that title’s success.

Game Loot Network’s Utility-Token: LOOT
Cryptocurrencies are digital coins which can be exchanged for fiat, or any currency issued by respective governments. Cryptocoins allow entities, like GLN, to pay a global audience instantaneously without combatting the fees and time involved in currency exchange.

In order to reward user engagement, Game Loot Network™ created their own utility-token, ‘LOOT’. The currency allows specific interactions on the Network to trigger cryptocoin allotments. The blockchain’s network tracks these engagements and rewards LOOT to users who complete meritorious actions such as winning a gaming tournament or inviting a friend.

GLN’s Other Digital Units
In addition to LOOT, there are four other units available on the platform. These, however, are not cryptocurrencies and cannot be exchanged anywhere other than Game Loot Network

• Credits
  Groundbreakers receive a monthly endowment of ‘Credits’. These can be used to purchase in-game boosts and enter tournaments. Credits can also be swapped for Bids.
• Tickets
  Tickets are vouchers obtained from winning tournaments. These units can be exchanged for real-world prizes
• Bids
  Bids can be obtained with LOOT and with Credits. With these units, players can Battle Bid for heavily discounted electronics.
• Premium Bids
  Premium bids are used to enter auctions for bundles of discounted LOOT.

Roadmap

The platform will rival and innovate upon centralized systems like the Steam and App store. The cornerstone of the application will be the interaction between the Build and Play portal.

The LOOT cryptocurrency underpins each platform resource and allows virtual achievements to have real-life consequences. As larger, more complex games are constructed in the Build portal and downloaded through the Play doorway, third-party worlds will interact with and use the LOOT token to incentivize their economies. LOOT will unite thousands of virtual worlds in unforeseen ways with Game Loot Network™ as the main hub. Third-party communities could use LOOT to offer their own competitive tournaments or give in-game items real-world value

Game Loot Network will be the one stop shop for all of gaming: play, purchase, and design. Worldbuilding and charm of character sets GLN apart from bland amalgams of resources; it represents an ever expandable revolution.

Token Sale Structure

Purchasers that contributed under the STC shall then be provided LOOT bonuses pro rata to the level of their contribution under the STC (anti-dilution bonus). This is done to provide certainty to the early purchasers of LOOT as to their proportion of contribution.

The STC is $50,000,020.00 and the MSTC is $75,000,030.00.

8.1 Distribution of Proceeds PURPOSE: COMMERCIALIZATION – sales – marketing – community building – support Founders, advisors, service providers, bounties Provision for taxation Operational 55% 20% 15% 10% Most of the revenue from the token sale will be consumed in operational expenses, service support, and development. Game Loot Network™ allocates a portion to tax planning for new corporate structures, employment taxes from overseas personnel and the like. We expect the SAFT contribution monies to be used mostly in marketing, community building, training, development, and sales. A portion of the monies are kept to pay bonuses to the founders, advisors, service providers, and bounty service providers following the close of the Token Sale. These distributions are either going to be in USD, BTC or ETH. GLN may also offer an option to buy tokens following the LOOT Token Sale

Token Storage and Risks LOOT may be stored in a wallet or vault, which can only be accessed with a password selected by the purchaser. The wallet will hold a private key required to control the stored LOOT. The loss of the private key associated with this digital wallet or vault storing LOOT, will result in the loss of LOOT. Users are advised to store their password in one or more backup locations. Any third party that gains access to the purchaser’s private key may be able to gain access to their LOOT. Users must take care not to respond to any inquiry regarding a purchase of LOOT. The purchase of LOOT should only be undertaken by individuals or entities that have significant experience with the usage and intricacies of cryptographic tokens, like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). Purchaser should have functional understanding of storage and transmission mechanisms associated with other cryptographic tokens. While Game Loot Network™ may be available to assist in the purchase of LOOT during and after the sale, in no way is GLN offering advice and will not be responsible for lost BTC, ETH, LOOT or fiat resulting from actions taken by, or omitted by the Purchaser
