So here we are up with the AMA transcript, for those who missed the live session, this blog post will be a saver & feeder of knowledge for them.
Introduction Questions Asked By Team BlockTalks!
Q1. Could you please introduce Bullieverse to our community in layman’s terms?
Ans — Bullieverse is an Open Metaverse that offers immersive 3D gaming experience. We are a Web3.0 GameFi project where NFT communities can come together to play, create, earn and experience, and thereby create utility for their NFTs.
We are one of the first PlayAndEarn projects to launch an NFT based 3D gaming experience (Bear Hunt) on Unreal Engine. While, our Gaming experience is suited for hardcore gamers, we offer a wide genre of games to cater to casual gamers too. Our gaming economy is fuelled by game creators who can seamlessly create these experiences using Snowcrash, our creation engine.
We transform your NFTs into Gaming Avatars, that become your key to enjoying a world of games and experiences and owning digital assets.
Q2. What are the advantages of Bullieverse to the other alternatives in the Blockchain field?
Ans — To start with, we are the first 3D game using Unreal Engine that has gone live in this space. How many other projects have a game live before token launch?
However, there are broader and strategic differences. We are not a one game pony — we are a gaming/metaverse marketplace which will support both gamers with an intention to play and earn, and enjoy the metaverse experience — but also, focus on creators and developers who want to earn by creating games and ingame assets. We also emphasize on the gaming experience a lot more than other play to earn leaders do. We have published an article that describes all these in greater detail on our medium channel — https://bullieverse.medium.com/bullieverse-the-secret-ingredient-198d2dcdd1dc
Q3. What are the major milestones Bullieverse achieved so far & what are in the future pipeline?
Ans — The genesis Bull NFTs will be your launchpad to gaining value and economic upside through the Bullieverse platform. I have written a detailed article on what the benefits are for Bull NFT holders here — https://medium.com/@bullieverse/why-you-should-hodl-bull-nfts-d409ee316b1e. However, in summary, Bull NFTs will allow you to do the following,
⁃ Play and Earn (you can’t earn on the platform without the Bull NFT)
⁃ Create and Earn (after we launch the game creation engine)
⁃ Have early access to new NFT collections — Our Bear NFTs can only be minted by Bull NFT holders
⁃ We have a pipeline of new NFT collections through 2022, and Bull NFTs will let you access them.
⁃ Passive income through renting your NFT — more on that below.
⁃ Early access to Land and Game portal auction
We are going to be launching our NFT renting process round about the same time as Bear Hunt Public launch. This will allow our NFT holders to enjoy passive income. We are introducing a different approach to renting which will be a lot more seamless and simpler for both the owner of the NFT and the gamer.

Questions Asked on Twitter for Bullieverse Team!!
Q1. Bullieverse’s vision would be achieved by executing the elements of its foundational framework mentioned in its docs. But what are the capabilities that this framework can support in the decentralized metaverse by creating a community of gamers, creators, and asset owners?
Ans — Great question.. To start with we need to be moving towards decentralisation everyday. We will be building a community of a few hundred thousand gamers whcih will be fundamental to our growth. Following that we will be rolling out our creation engine — which will allow us to move into a marketplace mode and scale exponentially.
We have all the basics we need to build that, with the funding we have now, we will need to scale the product and growth team and achieve our roadmap as published in our whitepaper.
Q2. I was interested in a concept they have called “Game Portals” where players can go in and out. The island itself is only 3 miles long,the portals are placed in different locations and the games will be housed inside the portals. But do these portals have real estate restrictions?
Ans — Game portals DO NOT HAVE real estate restrictions.
We saw that several of our competitors struggle to scale because of that — hence the decision.
Q3. Bullieverse has a vision to become an Open World Metaverse Platform. I think Bullieverse has a good Vision. Howver the competition in the metaverse market is very fierce. What do you think makes Bullieverse different from other Metaverses?
Ans — We are a DAO — and we will keep increasing the degree of decentralsation as we grow. We use Unreal Engine — the gaming experience is PUBG quality or better. We have a solid gaming economy model — which will serve gamers and game developers alike. All this is being created by a stellar team — I think those are the key differences.
Q4. One of the problems of blockchain technology is that it has a certain complexity, limiting that very few are the creators of NFT content,projects and games; For that I ask, Bullieverse will offer facilities so that any user can create their own NFT game?Or is it only for experts?
Ans — Our Game Creation engine allows anyone to create games by drag and drop — the vision is to have it as a NOCODE solution. However, there are developers who would like to write code to create games — therefore to serve them, we will make it a LOWCODE solution over the future. However, the first step is to keep game creation simple and seamless.
Q5. Can you please tell us more about Bullieverse NFTs, what makes them different from all the NFTs flooding the marketplace? What can users do with them, Do they have any special role they play in the game? What about renting/ leasing, will it be possible to rent out our assets to others in the community or what are some of the ways users can earn passive income in the game?
Ans — The genesis Bull NFTs will be your launchpad to gaining value and economic upside through the Bullieverse platform. I have written a detailed article on what the benefits are for Bull NFT holders here — https://medium.com/@bullieverse/why-you-should-hodl-bull-nfts-d409ee316b1e.

Questions Asked by our BlockTalks Community Members during live Session to Bullieverse Team!!
Q1. Pump and dump schemes are becoming a major problem in the crypto space which needs solving, Investors’ hard earned money going down the drain. Could Bullieverse please tell me how to prevent whales from manipulating the price & ensuring the price appreciate?
Ans — There will always be pump and dump in booming markets. However, with Bullieverse, we will always be focused on our product and growth. If we execute that well, the token and NFT prices will take care of itself. The only way we can do justice to our token and NFT holders is by executing our strategy well.
Q2. Is Bullieverse secure to use? Are there any security measures being implemented to avoid bugs and hacking?
Ans — We always follow high levels of cyber security standards. We have completed our smart contract audit too — and the results will be published just before our token launch.
Q3. What are the steps to become part of your community, and start earning? Where can we buy, where can we register?
Ans — Steps: Go to Opensea and buy our NFT — https://opensea.io/collection/citizens-of-bulliever-island, then go to our website, connect your wallets and start playing https://bullieverisland.com/. At the moment you can only play if you have 20+ NFTs — but soon all NFT holders will be able to play and earn
Q4. Currently 27+ Members are there in Bullieverse team, From what background these team members are and how are they going to play an important role in the project success?
Ans. — Great question — it is now 30+ and growing. Across the management team, we have over 75 years of experience that spans across Blockchain, technology, gaming, venture building, venture investing and strategy careers. The team are serial entrepreneurs in Blockchain, published authors, alums of Sony R&D, Goldman Sachs, PwC, and educated from IIT, Oxford University, and the London School of Economics.
Q5. I could see that Bullievere is the gamers’ home for hanging out with friends and connecting in an immersive experience, you mean your game is multiplayer? Do you have clans or teams within your game? What are the incentives for the best players?
Ans — Our first game is a PVP — not multiplayer — we wanted the community to understand the quality of our work. But we are already working on the next game which is a multiplayer, battle royale type game. That will be critical to our roadmap. Yes, we are an open metaverse, so we will support other NFT communities to enjoy our metaverse and games
