Informal Game Guide and Mechanics for Polkacity NFTs

16 min readSep 11, 2021

We have been building Polkacity Game at a swift pace. The game will be polished and published this year, and the Polkacity NFTs will be functional within the game. This article outlines the unofficial, informal NFT Guide for the game at this juncture. The official Guide will be released when the game launches. Game mechanics may change before launch, they may be enhanced and features added or modified to enhance and plug all assets into a chained economy.

At Polkacity, we have a large collection of NFTs and have been explaining some of them with articles. A lot of expensive NFTs such as shopping centers, hotels, gas stations, restaurants, discos, car rentals, car repair, and hot dog stands were produced and sold. That is one of the reasons Polkacity market cap is deceptively low. Most of the Polkacity value is locked in the NFTs and never in circulation, although they are counted as tokens in circulation. This article is a more comprehensive guide for the NFT mechanics and how they will be used in the game.

TAX Collector

NOT FOR SALE

HOLD your weekly payouts until game release and earn your share from 25% of all Polka City New Asset Sales. The more you hold the larger your share. This is the new staking reward and here is the detailed article on the tax collector NFT.

200 POLCS per week (192% APY)
Fully automates 1 NFT mechanics

The AI NFT will provide 200 POLC / week passive income, which is 192% APY at the current price. As the game feature, the NFT/plugin will allow asset owners to automate in-game mechanics. Taxis will drive passengers automatically, Drones will fly passengers automatically and other routines will be carried out for the other NFTs. You will no longer need to be present to make profits within the game, you can now play and automate while you are away from your keyboard. This AI NFT automates the other NFT features so you do not have to be present while making money, turning your NFT into a passive income tool even during the game phase!

1. 750 POLCS per week (130% APY)
2. Host VR Sports Games.
3. Earn 15% of championship fights earnings.

The GYM hosts VR Sports Games, so the GYM NFT owners will get a cut from these VR games. For example, Polka City will host Boxing VR games, where citizens who own VR headsets like the Oculus and Vive will be able to fight each other in VR. Championship fights will pay in POLC, so the winner will earn POLC. Polka GYM owners will earn a 15% cut from the earnings. These games and competitions are expected to start from the 3rd quarter of 2022. Check out this article for further reading.

2. Water Transportation

The canoes are great for entertainment and even for rentals. You can purchase the canoe or stake your NFTs to receive it as a free staking gift. The free option does not devalue the value of the yacht because the canoe is slower compared to the yacht, and you have to row the canoe. However, you can, if you wish, row all the way to the treasure island. We will have more sea-bearing vehicles and they will all have their unique functions and economic incentives. In some role-playing games, people simply visit good-looking places to fish, spend time, stroll in the streets. Check out this article for more information on Canoe.
