Last week we had an amazing AMA session with Infinity Force in their Telegram Community Channel. It was a different style AMA where both the guest and the host answered questions about their projects and the partnership. Representing Codyfight — Linas Balsys, our Marketing Manager and Sam Welch, Co-founder and head of marketing representing Infinity Force! The two are already familiar with each other and had quite a long, yet interesting discussion, introducing the audience to in-depth details about both projects!

AMA recap:
Q1: We are all dying to know, because we love games and robots, what is Codyfight and where can you play it?
Linas: Codyfight is a blockchain-based AI vs. human competition metaverse that brings together creative, tech-savvy, and multi-talented people in a community-driven game.
Our goal is to become the ultimate place where the bravest individuals can compete with AI algorithms by defeating them in one-on-one arena battles. 🤖
As for where to play it tho…Easy
Codyfight Game Widget is built to be easily accessed on any device that can render an HTML and JavaScript code — which is basically any web browser. The game will be accessible via any device that can connect to the internet. 🤯
Question: Your game involves AI vs. Humans — can you expand on that a bit more?
Linas: We believe that AI does not have to be a human servant, it can also play an important social role, so we envision to empower AI interplay and competition with humans. It includes AI and humans playing in balance. ⚖️
Like come on everyone lives fine with Alexa and Siri so the AI will be easy to live with!
The most exclusive benefit this brings is the opportunity to scale robot farms and own multiple robots which all can play at the same time in different matches with AI code taking care of it without the need to sit and play yourself. 😎
Sam: So instead of grinding all day in battles, you can develop robots to do the battling for you at scale?
Linas: Yeah, even if you are a non-coder like me you still have options to get AI Bots to control your fighting robots, better known as CODYFIGHTERS!
What ways? Also simple
Other developers from the community will most likely have a lot of options for you to choose from
And if you want to take matters into your own hands — there’s many ways we’ll try to get you started with coding via various starting courses and community discussion groups
Sam: Ahhh learning is crucial within blockchain, coding, and play-to-earn. We have our Infinity Academy to help players and guilds get up to speed on our platform and the games they are playing!
Q: So we covered the basics on what is Codyfight.. Now tell us what exactly is Infinity Force?!
Sam: Infinity Force connects players to guilds … and guilds … to games! All on one platform.
It’s really that simple!
Say you are a player and you want to access your favorite P2E game, but you can’t afford the NFTs required to play. All you need to do is come on our platform, register, go through a brief interview process, and you are automatically put on a team! FOR FREE.
Now if you are a guild (someone who wants to invest to have their own team and share earnings with their players) You go through the same process, a registration, player and game selection, purchasing NFTs from our NFT treasury, and then loaning out!
There are so many features that make Infinity Force special, but we can get into that a bit later
Linas: So Infinity Force 101 is covered. So what specific problems are you trying to solve and what features do you implement to do so?
At Infinity Force, we created our own guild many moons ago. We soon realized that managing a guild was super difficult because of all the manual processes
How do we recruit and onboard players?
How do we train them?
Where do we purchase NFTs?
How do I track performance?
HOW DO WE PAY?!
and then on the player side, how do I get in this guild?!
Okay, so we started with these problems, all highly manual as a said before, and decided to automate them.
Hence, the Infinity Force Platform
Imagine a platform on your desktop, mobile, and in your discord or telegram that does all this automatically??
Your team is given to you after a few short steps, players can play for free, you can monitor performance, and you don’t have to worry about paying! Plus, everyone gets the training they need to be successful! We are partnered with all the best new games (like CODYFIGHT) so guilds and players will never have an issue with choosing what they love
Linas: No groundbreaking in-game features you wanna mention?
With many of these games, we plan on doing NATIVE integrations. We are already connected to their backend data, but imagine us living on the front-end of the game. All the features listed above like performance monitoring and payment happen in-game powered by our platform, NATIVELY.
Linas: Imagine you’re playing Codyfight, you just came out on top in the arena and saw the enemy Codyfighter get destroyed by The Ripper and you jump into the interface to check how all of your teams are doing until the next round starts 👀
Q: Okay so now we are back on Codyfight. What does it COST to start playing?
Linas: …to start playing Codyfight you will need to pay a round sum of $ 0.00 !!
There will be no entrance fee to enter the game and start collecting rewards
although, there will be other costs throughout the game (e.g. competitive games and tournaments entry fees (CTickets), additional robots (NFT skins and CKeys))
Sam: Play-to-Earn without having to pay to earn
Linas: Basically you can start off for free but if you wanna skip the grind or make your life easy then you’ll have to consider investing in AI Bots to control your Codyfighters
Also, you can invite your friends to play and have fun with them in non-competitive mode using the keyboard or touch controls or challenge them in code battles with your pre-programmed bots as well, without costs.
So me and Sam can hop into a custom game and see who is superior FINALLY
Codyfight is the first game that gives you the opportunity to actually create your own skin as NFTs, which you can sell in the marketplace and get money for that 🤑
And it doesn’t end there
Codyfight’s reward features include winning robot battles, skin drawing and trading it outside the game, organizing official tournaments, and finally knowledge sharing and trading: robot software, NFT skins. Also there will be minor rewards for solving simple daily challenges.
So to sum it up — if you are an artist draw your own NFT skin, get it approved, combine it with a CKEY and conquer the competitive scene!
Sam: so, you don’t have to be a coder to interact within the ecosystem? I could be an artist?!?
Linas: Codyfight unites a large community with various skillsets from coders to artists, gamers, community leaders, crypto investors and so on!
There’s a way for everyone to earn in a different way! You don’t need to be a coder to earn with Codyfight
Even influencers and content creators can reap the rewards with our latest programs

Q: What is the Codyfight token and what are the utilities, and how can token holders benefit?
Linas: The Codyfight Token $CTOK is an ERC-20 token that can be traded on Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain blockchains.
The main network is Ethereum with bridges to other blockchains. 👌
So what does it do?
$CTOK serves the purpose of keeping the economy of the game alive. Using this token you can purchase CTickets, NFT skins, multiple Robot subscriptions (CKeys), repair skins, rename your robots, and much more.
CTickets give an entrance to competitive arena games while NFT skins make the Codyfighter look unique and stylish.
Codyfight Token (CTOK) holders will get early access to the asset drops that will be available for purchase before general release. CTOK holders will also get early access to the platform and will be the first ones invited to test new features.
So any new releases will for sure be introduced to token holders first 😉
Q: What about the utility of your native $INFF token? What’s its underlying value and why should investors care?
Sam: $INFF has yet to release, but will be erc-20 to start!
Our IDO is upcoming so pay attention to our social channels pinned above for updates on when that will be! You don’t want to miss it, because Elon Musk told me it was going to Mars
1. Infinity Force platform generates fees from all transactions processed and a portion of this is provided back to DAO token holders as rewards — through staking.
Everyone loves a good stake.
2. NFT Assets owned by Infinity Force will also appreciate in value, hence increasing the value of our DAO token as we own more and more NFT assets over time
So basically, the more games and people we onboard, the more NFTs we hold and the more popular the games become, the higher the value becomes
3. As mentioned before, we have an internal guild (expected to be close to 20,000 scholars by end of 2022), and they generate income for our platform, thus making it grow, and the value of our token as well!
4. If you own the token, you get specialized access to parts of our Infinity Academy
imagine you are guild manager of a team playing Codyfight and you want to earn the most and perform the best and holding the token gets you access to people like Linas, who are experts at the game to come in and give you 1–1 tutorials
BOOM, now you are the best!
Finally, $INFF as a governance token will allow owners to vote on the future direction, which NFT assets to buy, which games to be made available on Infinity Force
$INFF and $CTOK to the moon…errrr Mars!
Linas: Same for $CTOK ! The market is still not in the best spot for the IDO but if you follow us closely you will definitely get the latest info on the date! ❤️
Q: Alright I think we got both $CTOK and $INFF covered! Wanna start off about partnerships that you have?
Sam: So we are backed by some serious players in the GameFi space. We raised $5.5M in our seed round led by Animoca Brands (for those who don’t know, they are pouring tons of money into P2E games) and our partners are seemingly endless.
Our other partners encompass games (like CodyFight) and guilds (like MGG and one that will be named very soon!) and then some people who just want to jump on the hype train and see our mission and vision as something that we will not only execute on but will grow the GameFi ecosystem immensely now and in the next decade.
I said it here first! Infinity Force will be around for the next decade and beyond!
Linas: Here for a good time AND a long time!
Sam: Tell us about your partnerships!
Linas: We are beyond excited to have all the partners and advisors that we have!
They not only let us grow our community but also give us a lot of opportunities to learn
Here are some of our backers: Evangelion Capital is helping us with anything marketing-related
DAO Maker is the launchpad that creates growth technologies and funding frameworks for loads of amazing projects, including Codyfight
We also have Digital Strategies, Wings Ventures, Raptor Capital, Alphacoin Fund, Dweb3, Basics, EM3 DAO and many others onboard.
Now from the gaming industry
Highlights from the gaming industry: we are also backed by such gaming industry projects like DeRace, Polychain Monsters, Infinity Force, Moonies, and many more, also talking about future plans with Realm so keep a close eye on us, we are soon announcing a lot of exciting news!
Sam: Okay great names come with great games
Linas: Personally, I am super excited about the integration with Infinity Force because as a gamer I do play a lot of things, and having a native interface to keep track of everything will be over the moon!
Sam: I want to hear about the gameplay of Codyfight because I will definitely be playing!
Linas: Codyfight is a multiplayer one-on-one AI coding web-based game. It is a turn-based strategy that can be compared to a chess game for programmers and gamers alike
When playing you navigate over a two-dimensional dynamic-size rectangle tile map
1 match — 10 rounds. Each player has up to 25 moves or actions (abilities or items)
Since the game features AI vs Human interplay we have some never before seen features coming
to help slow humans like myself see the action
Since the AI takes milliseconds to perform multiple actions our devs have just finished up on a Human Watchable replay system (currently doing quality updates to it)
This basically means that players spectating their AI fighting another AI can slow down the match REAL TIME and see what just happened.
And yes, I do mean during the match!
It’s not a replay system for post match analysis, you can rewind real time
This will help anyone who is spectating better understand what just happened!
Not like those anime fights where you see them blinking left right and the fight is over hahaha 😂
I think that is it for the gameplay 😂
Q: Will @codyfight be one of the first games integrated with @InfinityForce_ ? And let the players use full of the capability of @InfinityForce_ on @codyfight?

Linas: Hopefully, the tech wizards at both Codyfight and Infinity Force match up their development speed so that when the Alpha version of Codyfight is released we can start working out small details to get the integration ready for the official release later this year!
I will share the roadmap with you for a better understanding on when you can expect to see the game!
Since the current market situation is still a bit rocky the roadmap might slightly change but for the majority of the things planned it is very much accurate!
You will definitely be able to see him and other special agents (NPC’s) when the Alpha & Beta go Live!
Q: How many Scholars do you have currently, I would like to know???
Sam: Our internal guild has 1500 scholars, but we are using our Infinity Force tools to scale it out efficiently to 20,000 this year!
TThe Infinity Force platform is still in beta, but we are accepting scholarship applications as of right now. Apply on our website and join our discord for more scholarship info
Q: What’s the work of the CTickets and NFT Skins??
Who are your backers/partners currently??
Linas:
As for the CTickets, CKEYS and NFT skins:
CKEYS and NFT skins are the thing that make up your Codyfighter (playable character). As mentioned before you can even create your own NFT skins, get them approved by our team and use them in battle if it’s cleared! (Standards need to be met)
And as for CTickets — they will basically enable you to enter the Arena, Competitive mode, Tournaments and other modes!
Q1. Every Project always choose the best & unique name for its Brand to making people identified their existance easily. Can you share with the community, why you choose “CODYFIGHT” as your project name; and the story behind it?
Q2. As supporter, what can we do to help bring the masses to the project? may i write an article about Codyfight and publish it on my Reddit, Steemit or my other social media? Thanks
Sam: … will start even though it’s not directed at Infinity Force
1. Simple. Our ambitions and support for P2E gamers, guilds, and games is Infinite, and we are a Force to be reckoned with.
Also, liken our longterm roadmap to Salesforce and will be diversifying into other web3 business models that require blockchain solutions. It’s why we are in it for the long haul
as for 2. We are starting our own ambassador program this week! So keep an eye out on all our social channels for how to join!
Linas: Okay so the story on how Codyfight got its name is quite simple and short
The name was just used between our founders who were working on the idea of the game as far as 2 years ago
And as they explain it — the name represents the endless battle with coding
Patch that 1 bug and 99 more pop up 😂
Aaaaaand for 2.
You can already become a supporter of Codyfight in quite a few ways!
Secondly, you can sign up for our latest Ambassador and Content creator programs that will allow you to become one of the first and pave the way!
End of AMA.
