I like to imagine what the best job in world could possibly be? Is it.. professional cuddler getting paid upto 100,000$ a year for hugs? That's the real job and that isn't even the best one out there. The best job obviously is getting paid for PLAYING GAMES. This revolutionary idea has so.. blown my mind that I have to ask forgiveness for typos because, I might have forgotten some spellings. Huntercoin established the idea of human mining to be a valid one with their successful real time strategy game and now Chimaera Platform is planning to come out with an entire ecosystem for blockchain game development and in-game currency and asset management. This is where online game developers come in. You can develop online games, publish them and connect them to Chimaera's blockchain. The published games then can be accessed by gamers who can play these play-to-earn games whose achievements will not only be safe in chimaera's blockchain but, also will have real monetary value.
What is Play to Earn gaming?
Play to Earn gaming is a type of gaming, niche to blockchain technology that rewards the player for mining their currency. The mining process is integrated into game's environment and different in-game actions, a player performs in-game by interacting with the game's environment equates to completing a mining process and the in-game achievement corresponds to the mining reward. The mining reward has real-world value as CHI coin.
The only four types of people have pulled off getting paid for gaming:
- The Youtube gamers
- The Twitch Streamers
- Rare item auctioners
- Betters
The successes in first two endeavors is guaranteed only if you have a massive loyal follower and the third type of business is bound offer only limited success because not only you need to be an overachieving gamer with highly rare items there needs to be buyers for it on ebay. Personally, I wouldn't buy any in-game item however rare because, the reward of achieving the item by beating the odds of the game would be far more valuable to me than just owning it. The fourth type of endeavor to me is just gambling with extra steps.
How is this even possible?
In Play to Earn gaming environment the events that corresponds to mining processes are procedurally generated which means that there will be some translation of real mining problem to in-game objectives. The game is build around the two aspects of it:
- To entertain and engage gamers and players so as to maximum mining resource can be volunteered to the system for most time.
- To take valuable mining problems and translate it to realistic in-game objectives.
The system is reliant on you for resources as any decentralized system is ought to be and you are rewarded not only by being entertained but also with coins with intrinsic value. Now that I have explained the underlying give and take relationship it doesn't seem too good to be true, does it?
"Game studios are already working with Chimaera to put together the first full-fledged blockchain games. The next iteration of Soccer Manager (Soccer Manager Crypto), will be built on Chimaera. So will Treat Fighter, the newest game from Tricky Fast Studios. Two more development studios that have yet to be announced are also building the first Chimaera games."
I personally think that this a huge step towards positive direction and I hope they find success and reach their milestones with ease.
Where do game developer come in?
Blockchain technology could be a boon for gaming industry in solving its long existing problems of servers unavailability. Every major game label once they reach a critical mass of users starts to proportionally garner bad rap for their bad servers. This problem seems to me is more of service in centralized capacity and decentralization of servers can mean an even larger population of satisfied users. I think if the server management could become implemented in decentralized approach by dynamically distributing data and it's locality then we might be onto the next level hits. What I mean by dynamic locality is location based responsibility for service for decentralized resources which will be invaluable once it is mobile. I also think that Play to Earn game developers need to stay true to rigid values of what is fair because, if it becomes more and more demanding of user's time and power for simpler achievements not only it will lose appeal to casual gamers it will stagnate its own growth and value as it gets confined to narrower spectrum of players narrowing by the day, just like bitcoin mining, which I think is counter intuitive to idea of decentralization. Decentralization will be viable if and only if larger community of devices contribute least possible resource, scaling up with adoption of newer generation of devices, not other way around. The point I make about constant difficulty of mining is also critical because, when games adopt VR technology, the game would've literally reinvented human-mining. That'd make for bad news day or good depending on which side of TV you are standing on. It'd be bad publicity, quickly blown out of proportion and hammer down all enthusiasm brewing in favor of the technology in the first place.
The DAUs. What are those?
The DAU stands for Decentralized Autonomous Universes which, in most basic terms are gaming universes but, decentralized and also autonomous. The inherent character of an autonomous universe should be that all game mechanics and action are internally compensated for. All interactions possible between players are accountable and controlled. This part is more concerned with stability of the universe and is observed in all games held in high regard among gamers. DOTA for example or the SIMS series. The Decentralized part of it is more interesting idea to explore because, a decentralized anythings has inherent capacity to be more reliable and resistant to tampering. I prefer to imagine a rather pokemon go type of gig where distributed resources provide newer environment for gamers based on their location, encouraging both exploration, physical activity and mining. Feel free to make this happen. Some additional features promised by team at Chimaera are:
- Any number of player can participate in a games supported in platform. Multiplayer arena.
- Anti-fraudulent atomic trading.
- Chimaera studio, developer hub and Incubator for startups.
- They have referral program and CHI utility for CHI coin management.
