Hey Gamers!
As of Friday, September 16th, Blankos Block Party is now available on the Epic Games Store.
Blankos Block Party is an open-world multiplayer blockchain-based video game. Think of Roblox, but with NFTs.
- Players can create, share and play their own levels, as well as explore other players' created games.
- The custom avatars and accessories within the game are all NFTs.
- Players can resell their NFTs through the marketplace, or combine them to create new NFTs.
- Blankos Block Party was developed and published by Mythical Games.
- The game runs on the Mythical Platform, which is reportedly built on a private EOS.io blockchain using Proof of Authority
- This official blog is extremely helpful for newcomers to Blankos Block Party: https://news.mythicalgames.com/all-about-your-blanko
Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group. Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance. - Tim Sweeney, Epic Games Founder and CEO
What do you guys think of my picture?
After hearing this news, I am excited to jump back into Blankos Block Party and see what has changed.
I remember downloading this game maybe a year or two ago, but I have only played it a handful of times.
It was fun, but it didn't hold my attention for long, as I am an avid gamer and I basically am obsessed with a new game every week; it takes a really special game for me to stick with it.
See ya!

I completely agree! Epic Games will expose so many gamers to Web3 :)
Your photo looks cool. I didn't expect Epic Games to do something like this. Are there any games like this on Steam? Maybe they'll show one soon. Because these things usually turn into a competition between platforms.
That's a good question. To be honest, I do not believe I have heard or seen a web3 game on Steam yet...I think they are resistant to NFTs and crypto for the moment. I expect they will follow suit if this project works well for Epic!
