Features of our MMO (mostly completed):

* Player Shops/Restaurants: Run businesses for others to buy from.
* Pets: Allies for combat, foraging, and gathering.
* Real-Time Combat: Fast-paced, competitive, Dark Souls-like battles.
* Dynamic Quests: Multi-branching quests where choices impact outcomes.

**About the team**
* We are a team of 10 devs from various countries working remotely.
* We are a tight knit group. A few of us have known each other for 10+ years. Some of us have made friendships beyond the workplace.
* We value honest feedback, being mission driven and pursuing hard challenges.
* We believe in giving you the agency and creative freedom to bring your best work forward.
**Opportunity**
* We have been approached by 4 investors and rejected their offers to preserve team equity and maintain a great work culture.
* Closest look-alike competitor is Roblox (valued at **$29B**); we believe ChronoCraft will reach a valuation in the billions in 5-9 years.
* With just our Alpha launch we built relationships with youtubers from Minecraft, MMO and Roblox (totaling millions of followers).
* Plans to integrate NFT collectibles and crypto transactions, tapping into another multi-billion-dollar market in the future.
* We are preparing to approach investors in the coming months to secure funding now that we are in a good place for team expansion.
* We are committed to launching it ourselves regardless, which puts us in a strong negotiating position with investors.
* Pre-funding team members will receive **equity**. After funding, developers will initially earn **$50-80k salaries**. After profits, **salary increases and bonuses** will be given. This is your chance to get in with equity before it shifts to salary-only.
