Special thanks to Kokushi Hattori & the MCH Team.
  1. What is MCH?

My Crypto Heroes (MCH) is a worker placement RPG which is built on 3 layers (Ethereum Network, Loom Network, and off-chain). You can gather and train historical heroes in the actual world while obtaining a number of extensions, in order to conquer the Crypto World.

2. What is the original vision for MCH, meaning is the biggest goal you hope to achieve?

What we initially aimed for was realizing and creating a world where all of the time and passion invested into games would turn into real assets (through full dapps). At the beta battle test, we tried to build everything on Ethereum Network and Loom Network. However, with the current blockchain technology, we couldn’t deal with more than 150 simultaneous transactions. So, we decided to utilize off chain, as well as Etheremon, since we focused on user experience instead of just our hope. In the end, we managed to realize this world where “Your time and passion will become assets”.

3. Can you share some of your favorite features (Characters, Items, Battle, Leveling, etc.)?

As I mentioned in the first question, you can fight with bots or other players with your favorite historical heroes in this game. For example, my favorite hero is Wang Ki (Chinese), since he played a great role in my favorite manga (based on history). There are various heroes, so there must be someone you love!

In addition to Heroes, the other remarkable feature is the “Art Edit” function. With this function, players can change the Hero’s default image as you like (using the art created by other editors or artists is prohibited). Art Edit adds new passive skills and changes the tendency of growth of status.

4. How does the battling in MCH work?

There are many kinds of battles, such as Quest, Ranking battles, Flag battles, etc. Players can obtain Crypto-Energy (which is necessary for raising Heroes), extensions, and land through battles.

You can watch every move or skip to the end result (win or lose).

5. How does the leveling system (character & items) in MCH work?

As hero and extension levels increase, both the Heroes’ and extension’s status will increase and Heroes’ growth tendency can be changed through Art Edit.

6. Do you think MCH will consider a “Community Vote” on a new character every month or so?

It won’t be a set time like every month, but we do intend to have community votes and maybe they can submit new art, ideas, or heroes.

7. Why did MCH choose to utilize Ethereum/Blockchain vs. the traditional game route?

As I mentioned question 2, we utilize blockchain technology to realize our goal. We are developers but at the same time, we love to play games. We are eager to live in the world where our efforts becomes assets and the blockchain allows for that to be a reality.

8. What are some of the next and biggest updates we can expect?

Land! We expect it’s going to be early next year. Players can own lands and they will be able to earn GUM(Game User Money) through land, like real estate.

9. For people that haven’t heard of MCH yet, what would you want to share with them?

We want players to know our main goal and vision. As I mentioned before, we make efforts to create the world that all of the time and passion invested into games will turn into real assets.
