Cryptonom is a set based on a blockchain-based RPG of the same name created by Button Men Online user K9d.[1][2]
According to K9d:
Inspired by cryptocurrency and art/games being played with it. Cryptonom is a yet to be released game where the creatures vaguely resemble... Pokemons. So I went through all the buttons and picked things out that kind of looked like pets/animals for inspiration. I feel like my methodology is kinda crazy and inefficient but also arty... wanted to visually identify things that looked tight/right. I was also thinking about crypto and its attributes. Doubling it makes it feel more like a mountain of treasure to HODL. Hope that things will rocket to the moon reminds me of mighty skill. Starting small. The fact that you get the Exchange rate at time of transfer reminds me of value skill. 12 is arbitrary, could have been anything. Felt middle-ish. There's also the idea of "rares" in the crypto art and gaming spaces so I thought to make this an odd size. I like that it fits into how buttonmen have been used to promote things in the past. I set the thing up as a puzzle so it will be interesting to see who unlocks what it is. =) If it turns out highly unbalanced then my next Cryptonom remix will be better. Going to try and spin up an instance of the site on a web based IDE for easier collab and see if I can get the bot playing itself there for easier BASIC balance testing. One check along the way.
