Being powered by Enjin has opened up new possibilities for monetisation strategies that benefit both game designers and players. So let’s take a deeper look into how playing Nestables could earn you $$.

Selling, Trading, Collecting and Renting Cubes

Each Cube is unique and this is one area of the gameplay that we have invested a lot of time and effort into. They all have different visual characteristics and traits which you can read more about here:

This means that some Cubes will be super cute, have a certain pattern or have traits that are valuable. Even though all of the Cubes will be backed by the same amount of ENJ, their uniqueness will make them a tradeable and desirable asset. Their desirability and therefore, “worth” of each Cube, will depend on what the buyer might require or want. They might be choosing a Cube based off its looks to breed with another Cube or potentially they need one that will excel at collecting resources like wood or iron. There is nothing wrong with wanting to create a Nest full of all pink Cubes! Either way, selling Cubes that you have collected and bred yourself will be an easy task thanks to our blockchain integration, Enjin and the marketplace that we are developing.

Got a really valuable Cube but don’t want to sell it? One of the features we plan on implementing before a full launch is the ability to ‘rent’ out your Cube.

Your Cube could be an absolute boss at building or farming. The marketplace will allow you to advertise the services of your Cube and allow other players to pay a daily rate for the work it does back to the owner. The Cube will bring to the Renter’s Nest all of the traits and research levels it has to assist the other player.

Buildings and Decorations

One of the aspects of the game we have talked less about, but have hinted at in previous Medium posts, is the building editor. If you have not understood already, we want as much of Nestables to be customisable and for the player to be able to make their Nest a reflection of them. To be able to do this, we want people to be able to design and make their own buildings, homes and Nest decorations. The building editor will give you a whole bunch of pre-made shapes and items which you can combine together and paint to create whatever your imagination can dream up.
