This game is a novel protocol that mixes NFT, Gaming and DEFI . At the core game is a play to earn game which is powered by ICON blockchain. Community can contribute and earn in a variety of ways, including but not limited to Playing Game , Live streaming gameplay, staking weapons as well as selling on secondary market places.
We strongly believe that a good game is an amalgamation of Scarcity, Thrill , Realtime and Sharing. We have combined various elements to bring these properties.
Why ❓
Gamers have recently understood that centralised institutions are fragile. Many game servers are shut down and users are enable to retain there assets which took them years to earn. We can make asset ownership more transparent and trusted with Blockchain. With the influx of new gamers around the world due to various reasons like cheap internet and compute devices. The blockchain gaming industry is still very nascent and there is a huge potential for growth. This game is a realtime strategy game with alluring graphics and play to earn mechanics will onboard games from web2 world as well as web3. We specifically chose ICON as it is a one stop solution from oracles to Smart contract execution.
Gameplay 📜
Build the most powerful kingdom and army
The core of the game lies in creating your own base and looting other bases to earn Aureus (in game IRC-2 token can be traded on superhero dex). All the elements in your base are IRC-31 NFT's which can also be sold on Marketplace.You own your assets. This essentially provides liquidity to the players who wishes to sell there assets. There are special purpose miners which help players to mine in game currencies at a certain rate. There are attackers which players can buy to loot other bases.
To give a more detail overview of the Tokenomics
Aureus : This is the main currency of the game which can be used to buy all the assets like cannon/xbow/archer/valkyrie. Aureus follows IRC-2 token standards.
Miners: Miners are locked when a player adds them to there base. Once locked miners start producing aureus every block and after certain amount of blocks the storage is filled so players have to keep collecting. On upgrading miner level the storage capacity and per block output increases
IRC-31 Assets : This are in-game assets that include defenders and attackers. Once a player places them in there base the assets get locked and when a player removes them from there base the assets are unlocked and can be sold in the secondary market place. Currently we have 6 such assets.
- Cannon
- Xbox
- Tesla
- Archer
- Valkyrie
- RoboDriller
The contract is dynamic and allows the addition of assets so we can add more building and asset to the game without redeploying the contract
Beside depending on secondary market place we have our own marketplace in which user can buy/sell various assets.
- 3D Marketplace : We have our own marketplace in which users can buy/sell there assets. The best part about the marketplace is that players can visualize the asset in 3D before buying it. This gives them the overview of how they will look in the game.
Architecture
Usually Gamers spend a lot of there time and effort to advance in a game and when online games shut down or there servers are compromised there is a significant amount of value loss here. Some of the rare assets even take years of hardwork to earn. But when this efforts are spent on centralized games there is a high chance that in future you might not be able to retain ownership of your assets. We aim to solve this by creating a game in which all assets are stored as NFT so that owner can retain full ownership of there assets. We have devised our architecture to resolve this shortfalls of traditional games.
Assets as NFT and Logic : Our game logic is transparent and verifiable as we are using smart-contracts for our backend logics. We have deployed our smart-contracts on the ICON-Testnet . ICON provides free faster transactions to users and it improve the user experience of the game.
Unity : Our game is build on top of unity-webgl which provides robust user experience to the user
Attractions
Guilds : People always like playing games together and allowing players to form guilds increases the interaction and active users. Guilds will be a core part of the game and the membership will be tokenized by utilizing IRC-31 standard to show proof of ownership
Liquid Assets : Most of the assets in the game are IRC-2 and IRC-31 and hence provides the players opportunity to trade them whenever they want. The concept of liquid assets not only guarantee users that they belong to them but also can be used to arbitrage trade allowing more trading volume in the platform
Mystery Boxes : Players will be able to buy and earn mystery boxes for their proof of contribution. Creating organic growth and demand.
Decentralized : The goal is to transition towards a decentralized DAO in the longterm to be sustainable and keep the product development as decentralized as possible. A proper documentation will be provided for governance and contributions
ICON
ICON provides a wonderful way to deploy and manage your application with robust and decentralized architecture the smartcontract and oracle based archirtecture of ICON allows applications to be grow and allows sufficient rights to offload the computations with the help of smart contract. With BTP the game can go crosschain easily and the contracts does not need to be deployed on multiple chains
Ease of Computation : By allowing as an inbuilt feature the backend runs smoothly and complex and time consuming computations provides great support for the agile paradigm which leads to smoother development process.
BTP Functionality : Dapps can easily go crosschain by leveraging this BTP provided by ICON
Easy Learning Curve : We really liked how detailed the documentations are which accounts for faster development from team. Java itself is fairly easy to learn with the documentations provided.
Challenges we ran into 😏
- Art Work : Beautiful Art requires time we have been working on this game for more than two months and are very proud to present our 3D assets. We currently have 8 3D assets which we plan to increase over time
Game Logic : Writing the whole game logic on the blockchain requires multiple contracts.
Making Assets Generic: It's easy to make a niche asset that only works on your platform but our NFT Assets support secondary marketplaces.
Future Updates ✔️
We truly feel that NFT , Gaming and Streaming are interconnected. We want to take this project to it's full potential. Future updates that we have planned are :
Marketplace Outreach : Contacting Market place and listing our contracts to provide liquidity to players
Providing Liquidity on Swap : Aureus token will be paired with ICON so users can buy/sell there rewards
Bringing Tournaments : Users will be able to fight in the tournaments for rare assets
Forming Guild : Players will be able to form guild/clan so during an attack they can send some help to fellow guild member.
Stream Liquidity Mining : Users whose streams get the most views will be able to mine aureus from it so essentially a stream will become a miner which yields on people watching it
Adding more Assets : We want to increase our library of assets such as defense assets and attacker assets
