Speed Race - Multiplayer Game

Inspiration

As programmers and gamers, we have long wished to create a project that would allow us to combine our respective strengths. We've seen and played a lot of games on web2 and web3. What was cool about web3 games is that they were community owned and everything was focused around the communities. We wanted to build something that resonated with this idea.

What it does

Metaverse multiplayer racing game on Aurora Testnet with multiple upgradable cars and with web3 features like NFT, ERC-20 reward, in-game purchase and more

How we built it

We build it using unity game engine with help of web3 library, metamask wallet to authenticate users, firebase to save user data, and some logic, code and magic of our team

Features

Solo and Multiplayer PvP mode with Voice chat support
Upgradable different cars to unlock as NFT
Dance and soft fight with online players
Get ERC-20 token reward when you win or complete 4 race in solo
Ingame purchase store to buy coins with native crypto or with in-game token

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out an economic model to make the treasury self-sustaining.
Finding the rights tools to build with.
Connecting the game with the smart contract.
Working on a Web3 project in general.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This whole project is an accomplishment for us. When we started out, we just had an idea of what we want the final product to look like with no clue about how we're going to go about building it. Slowly, everything started coming together and now here we are. In a matter of a couple of months, we've gone from ideation to implementation to completion.

What we learned

The only part of developing a P2E game is not the technical/graphical aspect of it. One of the most important things is the design of the virtual economy. It should be balanced and stop players from exploiting the game. There's a lot to learn about designing virtual economies.
