Topic: [Project Idea] Economy game - using bitcoin (Read 1187 times)

Thats the technical answer. I'm looking in the gamification part. If this is just an in-game currency, then inventing your own currency in the game is enough. No need to go for Bitcoin.

a lot of pessimist replies , but your question is answerable - so ..
How does your ideas incorporate Bitcoin into the game ? Just as an in-game currency ?
the answer :- using blockchain API (they have a C# API to to allow (sending/receiving bitcoin) in runtime

Yes,something like that.For buying in game upgrades,arms or unlimited ammo kind of things.Though there have been better games which implement earning bitcoins or spending them instantly while on missions.

Wouldn't this cross the line of gambling? You're going to need special licenses etc etc which makes this project way more complicated. I'm no legal expert but I think this is something you might want to look into if you haven't already.

Is that your full fledged plan for writing games ? That is not even a clear idea.I get it ,developing games using Unity and C# is a thing! But integrating bitcoin into it is a tough nut to crack.Also couple of RPG games of that sort already exists.Mining game sounds like a ponzi schema,let's say no to it.The first idea is solid,buying in game upgrades with bitcoin seems nice but again,scalability of the game will be a issue.

I have posted an idea for a mining game somewhere on this forum, I will search for it and post it in this thread. It basically boils down to a game based on the Gold Rush reality

series, but it starts out much earlier. The person will solo mine with a gold pan in the beginning and sell his gold and buy better equipment and also buy claims and work towards

the size of those operations. The economy could be build around the mining upgrades being sold and also the selling of claims. If developers can monetize this game, it will surely

take off, because Gold Rush has a very large following. 

Overview
I want to make economy game - money In/Out using BitCoin
it should be interesting/funny and profitable for us as developers and for players also
the player can earn bitcoin just by playing the game and watch ads
he also can deposit and increase his level and earning rate

Ideas
up till now - I have 2 ideas
fishing game :- there's a wide range here for a good profit and more fun , ad after any catch , investment in buying/improving fishing tools like (bait,line,net,spinning rode .. etc)
mining game :- a miner looking for gold - or a dog looking for bones (clear concept)
also there's a wide range here for a good profit and more fun , ad after any dig operation , investment in buying/improving digging tools
