It is the second decade of the 20th century. The world is still reeling from its previous global conflict. Maps have been redrawn, riches have been reallocated and colonies have changed hands. And after all of that, there is still so much to explore.&#x20;

Far across the oceans, there is an island that hides a dangerous secret. Rumors speak of an untapped source of gold and precious minerals. This has lured various brave **Adventurers** to the Island to try their luck at seizing fame and fortune. As if battling hunger, fatigue, the elements, and the hostile fauna of the Island wasn't enough, the Tribal natives relentlessly defend their homes and holy golden remnants of their ancestral gods.

The danger is ever-present on the island whether battling human enemies or being hunted by predators. Surrounded by the never-ending ocean, no one can escape the siren call of the **Gold Fever**.

### Based on Realism&#x20;

**Gold Fever** strives to depict a realistic world in a time frame around the second decade of the 20th century. This is an important perk, given that many things in the game will be immediately familiar to the players such as realistic fall damage, how much a character can hold its breath underwater, and the type of materials it takes to build a bow. This will come naturally to the player, cutting down the time it would take to learn the game which will allow more time to enjoy and explore it. All of this helps immerse the player into the world, enriching the experience even more.

### Part of a Blockchain&#x20;

With crypto-currencies taking the world by storm, one cannot deny their ever-growing presence. **Gold Fever** looks to the future and invests in this by having it's own blockchain called HighOctane, a subnet of the Avalanche Ecosystem, which offers safety during transactions, immutability, transparency and decentralization. Having this system built into the game enables **Gold Fever** to be ahead of other games and provides a smooth trading experience.

### Fully Decentralized Economy

One of the many unique features of **Gold Fever** is the way its economy is structured. The players has the power over how things are shaping economy-wise. The supply and demand of the world economy will rise and fall according to the actions of the players. To improve on this further, **Gold Fever** even has a specific currency - a JBR designed to promote great sportsmanship and give players even more power when it comes to shaping the economy of the game.&#x20;

### Playable Factions and Classes

The conflict that emerges from acquiring gold sets the game's two factions: the Adventurers and Tribals against each other. The factions are asymmetric, and each side has several character classes for players to choose from. From here on out, players can additionally personalize by obtaining a subclass set for their character.
