KaijuKingz

About this model

This diagram represents a complex economic and progression system surrounding a game where players engage in various activities such as staking creatures known as Kaiju, DNA extraction for creating new types of Kaiju, and upgrading tiers to increase DNA extraction success rates. Key components include source nodes generating $SCALE as an economy's currency at different rates based on the type of Kaiju staked, mechanisms for using $SCALE to purchase items like Alpha Passes, and processes for upgrading tiers to improve DNA extraction success chances.

In more detail, the gameplay involves extracting DNA with a base success rate that can be enhanced by upgrading tiers. The economic aspect relies heavily on managing $SCALE for performing activities like DNA extraction and purchasing Alpha Passes. Risks are involved in DNA extraction, such as the chance for refunded $SCALE or the DNA being stolen. Tier upgrading consumes $SCALE to improve extraction success rates. Additionally, the dynamics include the production and potential loss of $RWASTE, another resource, based on the interactions between different types of Kaiju staked. These elements combined in the diagram showcase a balanced yet intricate system of resource management, risk, and reward, driving player engagement and progression within the game's ecosystem.
