I haven't threaded about a @0xPolygonLabs mint since Pluto Misfits and @PlayWildcard, but now is the time. Let's talk about Farcana launching next week. 👇🧵

1/ Disclaimer This is not meant to be financial advice. Please DYOR before minting/buying. I have collaborated with them for WL spots for my alpha group and I also intend to mint.

2/ The Company Farcana Studio is a distinguished gaming studio based in the UAE with over 120 highly skilled professionals working for them. The company is committed to developing new titles with their software engineers, designers, game developers, and industry professionals.

5/ Partners Farcana has partnered up with huge brands in the fundraising, cryptocurrency, and gaming industries. Their partnerships include @animocabrands, @MocaverseNFT, @zealy_io, @arbitrum and many others.

6/ Angels Strategic investments from some big-name angles as well here (some Animoca names as angels, including @ysiu)

7/ The Game The game itself looks good, based on the gameplay videos. Farcana is a free-to-play 3rd-person PC arena shooter built on Unreal Engine 5 and set in a futuristic sci-fi universe. The game features a wide range of Stars, each with unique abilities and weapons.

8/ The Game (Cont.) The game itself features 24 unique characters, diverse weaponry, and a variety of game modes for the player to select from. As well as selecting their own unique characters, players can pick various different weapons to use in the gameplay.

9/ Game Style References include Overwatch, LoL, and Arcane. Please see the deck here for more info -

10/ Gameplay Review To be transparent, I have not played this game. So, please check out this review of the gameplay from someone who has @orangie -

11/ $FAR The token for their ecosystem to future holders and gamers. Based on AMA's, this will most likely include an airdrop for NFTs. Uses will include - staking, in-game credits, exclusive NFT skins, XP boosts and various others! Waiting for more info here.

12/ The Lore Farcana was created in 2079 as a research initiative to study the effects of Axelar on the human body. The championship that players compete for is broadcast on both Mars and Earth, making it an intergalactic event with big stakes!

13/ Tournament The team recently hosted the Farcana Autumn Tournament which had a $3,250 BTC prize pool for players! The tournament was a 4v4, 2-day event resulting in a total of 663 matches. The team has alluded to future events down the road, so stay tuned!

14/ Web2 Go-To-Market Check out this thread by my friend @kineticweb3. TLDR - they are leveraging streamer activations, tournaments, and social channels for their web2 GTM, and doing it pretty successfully thus far. Marketing and the ROI on user acquisition is key for games.

15/ Mint Details Date: 12/19/2023 Supply: 777 (711 mintable) Price: Free Chain: Polygon There will be a guaranteed phase and a FCFS phase. Who's excited to mint?!

16/ Risks The game is still early, and there are always risks. They are targeting one of the most competitive sectors. It will be challenging to acquire users while maintaining high ROI on spend is key. No real risk for minters as it's free but please always DYOR.

17/ Links I highly encourage you to DYOR, and go through this stuff. Medium - LinkedIn - Whitepaper - Website - YouTube - (already has 100k followers)

18/ End What I like about Farcana, beyond the obviously bullish points (token, backing, partnerships, supply), is that I can see they already have some strong go-to-market plans and the game looks fun to me. Excited to mint and wish them good luck!
