GAMEFI IS NOT ONLY ABOUT NFT GAMES.
We believe that GameFI is not only about NFT games, cards exchange, or fighting for NFTs. We show how to use blockchain and economics to create a Play-To-Earn game. People need beautiful graphics, interesting game storylines, and mechanics. But if the game offers an opportunity to earn money, it is a masterpiece.
WHAT DOES THE MARKET OFFER?
Most of the released games have no game mechanics. In fact, these are just sites with NFT cards and improvised battles for ERC 721 tokens, which is alright for someone. What about those players who request a scenario or a storyline? To be fair, there are such games too. They are under development, so nothing is known about the quality and the speed of their mechanics on the blockchain. We believe that the current environment and architecture of most blockchains do not work for all genres. We have chosen a real genre that is always in demand, and its graphics and mechanics will not break due to shortcomings of blockchain technologies.
IT’S TIME TO MOVE FROM CRYPTOKITTIES!
CryptoKitties was released on the Ethereum blockchain in 2017. 4 years later, the mechanics of most blockchain games have not changed. We believe it is time to expand the capabilities of the blockchain, use multiple networks, create multi-chain projects and games for different purposes. We use 4 networks in the Be Whale game.
Binance Smart Chain — for ERC 20 / ERC 721 tokens but with lower fees than Ethereum.
Ethereum — unites many users. We think the release of Ethereum 2 will solve the situation with expensive fees and it will become more in demand for game developers.
Polkadot Substrate is the best solution for your games, where you can include any game mechanics. Players can connect to the network as validators and build game mechanics.
Solana is a fast blockchain. We believe it has a lot of potential for GameFI. We use Solana in our Be Whale game.
SLOW BLOCKCHAIN? WHAT IS THE MECHANICS?
Often, developers claim that the speed of the blockchain does not allow them to realize their ideas or the expectations of players. We agree. But there is a solution — you can divide the actions into several networks, create a connection point or make the waiting process an integral part of the game, as in economic simulators among the Tycoon.
There are actually several options to create PVP on the blockchain. Here are a few of them that you can actually use.
- 1. Waiting before connection — displays an animation of a battle or action. It only works for virtual battles, no physics.
- 2. An intermediate layer between the client and the blockchain to save the current state of the character as a server, with the subsequent sending of the data recorded to the network.
- 3. Adjustment of the battle mechanics to the blockchain capabilities.
In conclusion, I’d like to mention that GameFI is a new game genre that many people have not heard of yet. We will try to change this. We are targeting a large audience of gamers of different ages and genres. We will try to convey the blockchain technology and show how useful it is in the quality of transparency and fairness of games with the possibility of additional or main income.
