Kwari’s game of the same name is a
first-person shooter (FPS) with a difference; players make money off each
other in real-time. The game will ultimately be free to download online,
but instead of being subscription-based it will use a unique free-to-play/pay-to-play
model whereby Kwari sells the player ammunition in place of flat rate
charges or monthly subscriptions.
The skill-based game has been built from the ground
up around the concept of money changing hands at a tremendously fast rate,
and was developed using some of the most advanced technology available
to ensure total financial infallibility fused with benchmark playability.
Gamers playing Kwari for cash set up an account,
are matched on the basis of skill, and enter a game at a pre agreed stake
level ranging from one cent to one dollar a hit. During the four-round
matches (3x 16-player maps, 1x 64-player last man standing map called
‘The Killing Floor’) every time a player hits another, money is decremented
from the target’s stake and added to the shooter’s. In a way, the player’s
money stake mirrors their in-game health, except it’s exchanged from one
player to another.
There are also jackpot prizes which require keys
to unlock. These jackpots are fed by self-inflicted damage sustained by
the players in all games being played globally. For example, if a player
jumps from the top of an arena or takes damage from a hazard, their stake
is decremented and this feeds into the jackpots, which are then released
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly - the latter are expected
to pay out millions of dollars. Most importantly; all money paid in to
the game by players is won out of the game by players.
