In the blockchain field, whether users have a sufficient base is an important indicator to measure the success of a project. This is especially true when it comes to the specific track of blockchain games. Who can have enough game players with high loyalty, high activity and strong stickiness, who can be invincible in the field of chain games.

And Gala Games, precisely by virtue of its super popularity and popularity, has become a trendy player in the field of chain games and NFT outlets.

Gala Games is committed to becoming a decentralized game social platform. On the road of continuous improvement and continuous improvement of content, Gala Games has always been continuously upgraded. It has launched Town Star, Spider Tank, Mirandus and other high-profile hot games. Attracted many players in a short period of time, it is a veritable “explosive manufacturing machine”.

So today, WorldChain Investment Research will discuss with you how Gala Games, which is highly praised by the industry as “made what a chain game should be”, is how to rise rapidly.

What kind of team is Gala Games?

As defined above, Gala Games is committed to building a decentralized gaming social platform. Gala Games has launched and planned to launch a number of multi-chain games. Gala Games’ games are also “conspicuous”, not only in various types and styles, but also in rich content.

Gala Games appears in physical form, provides curation and maintenance services for the network, helps other game studios integrate into the Gala network, and helps it update node software. It should be noted that the project game itself is not on the chain, but the assets in it are on the chain, and the player decides when to cast it on the chain.

Gala Games is also known as “a game company using blockchain”. This is a name worthy of everyone’s attention. It is not a “blockchain game company” but a “game company using blockchain”. There are very significant differences between people, and can even fundamentally change the way we look at things. The way of “using blockchain” advocated by Gala Games is actually building games and innovation, and it will persevere in finding ways and means to “serve players with blockchain”.

In other words, the underlying logic of Gala Games’ existence and operation is not to use certain technologies to prove the availability of blockchain, but to completely use blockchain technology as a tool to create top-level games with blockchain as the underlying technology.

On the Gala Games platform, gamers can truly own what they have won in the game. What you win is yours. Your items and any inherited status are verifiable assets on the blockchain, which can be traded to another person or played in the game . Gala Games completely opened the door to the decentralized ecosystem, allowing players to gain the control and voice they deserve.

It can be seen that the Gala Games team has the pattern and ideals of “stars and seas”, and the thousands of users it currently has are not the ultimate goal of Gala Games. All the layout and efforts of Gala Games are dedicated to creating hundreds of millions of users.

The team behind Gala Games is star-studded.

Gala Games has achieved such outstanding results in a short period of time, and it is inseparable from the hard work of the extremely gold-rich start-up team behind it.

Gala games was co-founded by Eric Schiermeyer, Wright Thurston, and Michael McCarthy. These three founders are not small, they are all elites and leaders in their respective fields.

Among them, Eric Schiermeyer is the co-founder of Zynga and Game Legend. Here I have to mention the famous social gaming company Zynga. As a social game company, Zynga occupies the 6th place in the Top 10 Facebook games, and on May 21 this year officially announced the acquisition of Chinese social game developer Xipede Information Technology Co., Ltd. As of July 26, 2021, Zynga’s market value has reached 11.3 billion US dollars.

Wright Thurston has been deeply involved in the mining field for many years. He is one of the first major miners in the cryptocurrency field and has many majors in blockchain technology. And Michael McCarthy is the creative director behind the popular viral game , Farmville is typical of his work. He has 20 years of work experience in the game industry. He has worked in many game companies such as Troika Games, Massive Black, Sandbox Games, Zynga, and founded the game animation production company Applied Cinematics. In addition, the CMO of Gala Games is Jason Brink. He entered the crypto field in 2014 and is known as “Bitbender” in the crypto community. He has served as technical documentation for multiple crypto projects including Experience Points, Verge, and Reddcoin. The work of engineers and marketing consultants . At the same time, Jason is also an academic consultant, having founded the Canadian academic consulting company Plato Coaching and the blockchain consulting company Rubric Partners.

In addition to the above, Gala Games also has a talent team of more than 60 people. Most of the members have rich experience and strong skills in the field of digital games and blockchain. It is not an exaggeration to say that this team is an “all-star team”.

Under the understanding and operation of these top talents, Gala Games has taken a completely different path from its peers. Compared with the blockchain games on the market, they are more willing to highlight the common phenomenon of “blockchain technology”. Gala Game is a team that takes a different approach and advocates “fun first” so that gamers can enjoy the charm of the game more concentratedly. With the blessing of the blockchain, they can fully control their game assets.

What are the popular games under Gala Games?

Next, enter the highlight environment, let’s take a look at the hot (or potential) popular games under Gala Games.

Town Star

On the Gala Games platform, Town Star is the first game to be launched, and it is also its well-deserved ace player, who has experienced the peak moment of “popularity as soon as it hits”. Town Star is called Town Star in Chinese. It is an agricultural game with a competitive simulated business nature. Game players will choose land and build towns on the virtual earth, realize commercial trade and obtain stars through agricultural planting and commodity production.

The creation of a Town Star game account is relatively simple. You only need to go to the official website to register with your email. After entering the game, a world map is the first to be seen. Players need to select a piece of land on the map, and then “start labor” on this land, such as planting crops, collecting resources, building factories, etc., to improve the farm Economic level. Due to the constraints of economic benefits, players need to plan their operations rationally, and understand that “the type of land determines the direction of agricultural development, and the location of the land determines the economic construction of the farm” and other principles and laws. It is worth mentioning that, due to the existence of a “trade center” in the game, the distance to the trade center determines the amount of fuel consumption, so choosing a location is a very important matter. If the player has not established his own fuel production system before the fuel provided by the system is exhausted, it may cause the farm output to be unsold and fall into an economic deadlock.

The biggest advantage of Town Star is that its game content does not have too many hard and fast rules, players can play a lot of space, and it is easier to get a sense of accomplishment.

Spider Tank Project

Spider Tank is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Competitive) game. Players need to purchase weapons and equipment before the game starts. The entire game process also needs to compete with each other and obtain resources on scattered maps. The system allows players to choose between a series of “spider tanks” and weapons, and then fight on a series of different maps.

Spider Tank focuses on two functions, skill competition and resource collection, and can be centered on the player-driven upgrade cycle to make it an earning mechanism. In addition, the Spider Tank model is Free to Play in Play to Earn, which can be described as a disruptive redefinition of chain games.

Mirandus

Mirandus is the latest game released by Gala Games, which is a fantasy RPG (Role Play Game). In a vast world ruled by 5 monarchs, players can have the opportunity to own scarce in-game items. Mirandus provides players with services including acquiring, using and selling assets. Players can freely choose according to their needs. From the most inconspicuous land rights (50 US dollars) to the ownership of ancient castles (500,000 US dollars), sellers are free to choose choose.

Mirandus provides players with a wealth of strategic choices. Players can set foot on the wilderness and use their own destiny to fight against monsters in the deep woods and dungeons; they can also serve as knights in their court with one of the monarchs; Store opened in one of the five major cities in the field.

Players can seize part of the wilderness and build small farms and large cities to hold positions. Among them, the smallest piece of land is a homestead, costing approximately US$50 in GALA tokens, which is 1/1000 NFT.

In addition to the above three games that can already be played, the games Gala is currently planning and laying out are also worthy of attention, namely Echoes of Empire and Fortified.

Echoes of Empire

Gala Games is currently developing Echoes of Empire is an epic science fiction strategy game. The background of the game is set in the galaxy in a state of war. In the game, players will be able to build, upgrade and own an epic fleet of spaceships in order to control their galaxy. Players can act alone or join large guilds to compete for resources in the game to upgrade battleships. At the same time, they can also occupy various departments in the galaxy, thereby obtaining full ownership of these departments.

Once players have enough resources, they will be able to convene and master the economic center of the command post, where they can upgrade their warships, make new weapons, and repair their fleets. “Players have ownership of game assets” is the core mechanism of Echoes of Empire.

Fortified

Fortified, which is also in the development stage, is a typical PvP (Player vs Player) tower defense game whose background is set in a fantastic medieval world. In the game, players will be able to compete with each other to build the best tower defense strategy. The content that can be used is very wide, ranging from basic arrows and archery to arcane art.

Players can compete with other players in their own way on their own land or neutral territory to see who can bring home the prizes. In Fortified, players can set the conditions of engagement, establish a network of towers, and train troops based on their own NFT to attack.

What development prospects and value space does GALA coin have?

On September 18, 2020, Gala Games issued its own platform coin, GALA coin, with an issue price of US$0.001497, a total issuance of 50 billion pieces, a circulation of 6.997 billion pieces, and a circulation rate of 13.95%. GALA coin is the native version of the Gala Games ecosystem, based on Ethereum and compliant with ERC-20 standards.

It should be noted that GALA coin is a non-refundable utility token. Its emergence acts as a transaction medium on the Gala Games platform. It can be used to purchase various NFT items and provides a relatively convenient and safe settlement method. .

So far, the GALA coin has not been sold in any way. It will be produced daily through node mining, and the production will be halved every July. For example: July 22, 2019-July 21, 2020, 68,493,150 GALA per day; July 22, 2020-July 21, 2021, 34,246,575 GALA per day; July 22, 2021 -2022 July 21, 17,123,287 GALA per day, and so on.

On September 17, 2021, which is the first anniversary of GALA coin issuance, the price of GALA coin was 0.049093 US dollars, the return on investment reached 3179.43%, the circulating market value was 342 million US dollars, and the 24-hour transaction volume was 651 million US dollars. Have such results. GALA coin can be regarded as a satisfactory answer.

We know that nodes are an important factor in participating in ecological development. Therefore, Gala nodes also play a pivotal role in the Gala Games ecosystem. Gala nodes are mainly divided into three types, namely founder nodes, paid nodes and free nodes.

The so-called founder node, after users purchase a node license in the platform, they can use a computer/VPS to run the founder node (without staking any tokens), and the total limit of the entire network is 50,000 nodes. Node licenses can be purchased using ETH, GALA, BAT and a variety of mainstream cryptocurrencies. The price increases with the increase in the number of licenses sold. For every 100 licenses sold, the price increases by $100, and the last 100 licenses The price will be 33,000 USD (current price is 12,000 USD). In the future, these node licenses will be converted to NFTs and can be traded on the secondary market. The so-called payment nodes are suitable for specific game environments and can rent nodes based on smart contracts. Renters can obtain GALA tokens and NFT rewards produced by the nodes, and the rent will be collected through smart contracts. The so-called free nodes, used for proof of work and storage, can be started by anyone who wants to support the ecology, and most of the node rewards obtained in this way will be used to support the Gala network.

It is worth mentioning that users who run Gala nodes will get corresponding points rewards, and the system will distribute GALA token rewards according to the proportion of each node’s points to the entire network. The specific reward method will also follow the three methods of proof of equity/availability, proof of work and proof of storage.

Why does Gala Games “show what a chain game should be”?

The GALA coin under Gala Games was officially launched on Binance on September 14. Its performance has been very gratifying since then, showing a strong growth trend. The price of Gala coin once rose to $0.146, which indeed shows “The future can be expected.”

If you look deeper into the project layout, you will find that Gala Games has also shown a relatively healthy and positive trend. Gala Games aims to create a decentralized game social network that attracts other game studios to integrate. From the perspective of ecological development, this will enable high-quality games to bring more user growth to the platform, and more and more users will attract more studios to join, strengthen the platform ecology, and form a positive To cycle. For example, Town Star, the first game launched by Gala Games, is a typical successful example, which once attracted a large number of users for the platform.

In addition, Gala Games has a unique perspective and vision. They are unwilling to become “a company that specializes in making wedding dresses for the blockchain”, but they are doing the opposite, and are committed to building themselves into a “blockchain-using game company”, using the blockchain as a medium to further improve Good service for the majority of players. As Eric Schiermeyer, founder of Gala Games, said, “When blockchain developers make games, they tend to make games from the perspective of blockchain developers, which means they usually make crappy games. We start with From the perspective of blockchain-interactive game developers, we can provide users with features while minimizing the pain and pain they usually encounter and the onboarding process. Therefore, starting from this direction, we can more easily attract More users. Building for the public is the key to our attention.” With this depth and height, Gala Games is likely to grow into a strong player in the field of game publishers.

Of course, Gala Games also has shortcomings and problems that cannot be ignored. For example, Gala Games’ decentralized network is implemented by distributed nodes, and the team makes money by selling node licenses. For users who purchase nodes, the requirements for node equipment are lower, but according to the current token price, the node payback cycle is longer. In addition, in blockchain games, the most attractive thing for users is the token economy. In contrast, the GALA coin in Gala Games is not closely integrated with the current in-game ecology, and the player’s profit model is relatively monotonous. It is hoped that games launched in the future can improve this point and introduce a more optimized economic model economy.

But in any case, we are full of expectations for the future of Gala Games and the future of the entire chain gaming industry
