Before you say: “Well that was a dumb idea, where’s that reset button…”

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the Children !!!

Who decided in the first place that (almost) everything [of the game] needs to be put on the blockchain…

Vitalik himself has said many times that “not all information deserves to be on the blockchain”.

Only things that add [enough] value should be on it.

One of the biggest consumer’s of gas is the gaming mechanism and what is the value-add of putting all of it on the blockchain? Do we really think that all the “big gaming studio” Dons are on purpose messing with the code so that when they/their capos want to play they can’t lose?

This? 2nd Amendment my friend, now please get back to the game of CS that I’ll fairly beat you at…

Sure there have been some games where it adds (some) value but let’s be fair.

A lot of the old/current batch of games are either hype/investment (without much actual play) or hot potato style gambling. Most of them are just gambling /speculating with a tiny layer of “game”.

So I just put everything and the kitchen sink on a BLOCKCHAIN, label it as GAME 3.0 and I make money? Yes Sir.

Luckily as developers have gotten more familiar with blockchain [and it’s intrinsic limitations], newer and better games are starting to/have appear(ed). Some of them contain special modes for when the gas price is (too) high, others are promising side chains to eliminate the bottle necks and most of them have a lot more “bang for GAS”

Finally some action

But we pondered… what is the biggest possible value [for the gamer] that a blockchain can add to a game. And we realized it was mostly the [actual] ownership of the avatar.

Too many digital items from Ebooks to Music, Video, Software,… by design and T&C are not actually owned by you.

Amazon “pulling back” a book from customers ereaders . You not being allowed to do whatever you want with your [purchased] music, video,… Digital and ownership seem like 2 opposites… until recently.

¡Viva la Revolución! ¡Hasta la Victoria [Digital] siempre! ¡Sígueme!

By using the blockchain as a way for the player to save his progress and (in the future) migrate between games and using a centralized server as our main “playing ground” we drastically limit the need to spend gas and yet still accomplish the main goal.

The player will have full ownership of his avatar(s) which by the nature of the [ethereum] blockchain will most likely outlive us all… An indestructible, unique, collectable that can do more than just look pretty and procreate. But at the same time he/she doesn’t have to check the gas price when playing as he/she’ll be playing off chain. Whenever he/she wants to however he/she can backup his current “in game stats” to his blockchain avatar and if he/she desires so, sell it, trade it, or sent it to his nephew.

Time to cut the chain for some action… but I’ll miss my chain… I’ll be back.

We see the blockchain as part of the solution, not a 1 size fits all that so many are treating it as. A technological layer that adds complexity but at the same time also adds tremendous value.

We are currently finalizing the MVP of the game so we can start a closed beta and work together with gamers from all over the world to make this the “casual yet lasting” game that people will keep coming back to.
