The Greatest Leap in Blockchain Gaming
The gaming industry is currently valued at over $170 billion and is already larger than the music and movie industries combined. The pandemic helped accelerate the expansion of this market, and reports forecast it will continue to grow to roughly $200 billion by 2023.
From the mobile gaming boom, to eSports, virtual reality (VR), or even indie gaming, there are several trends that currently define the gaming world. However, and even though it is somehow under the radar, blockchain gaming is perhaps the trend that will be the most disruptive.
We at Gold Fever are already levering this type of technology to position ourselves ahead of the competition.
Blockchain gaming on the rise
This year’s bullish price action, coupled with the Non Fungible token (NFT) craze, has contributed to blockchain gaming growing 148% in Q1 2021 and cementing itself as one of the hottest industry trends. As more and more games are developed and released, the mainstream gaming audience slowly realizes the benefits of integrating virtual in-game economies onto the blockchain.
However, the quality and depth of gameplay in blockchain games leaves a lot to be desired. This is especially true if we compare these, which more often than not are simple text-based games with basic animations and limited gameplay, to the masterpieces created by triple-A studios.
Get your pickaxe ready
Gold Fever is the first of its kind, a blockchain game with high-value productions. Its team of more than 35 highly skilled game developers is making sure to incorporate quality 3D graphics and gameplay that rivals the production quality of major gaming development studios.
Combining the quality of the newly released triple-A titles with the added benefits of blockchain technology, Gold Fever is a pioneer in the gaming industry. Players will own every piece of loot and equipment in the game as NFTs, ensuring they have digital ownership rights over these items, which can then be sold, rented, or even borrowed and lent.
Revolutionary NFTs
NFTs have reached incredible popularity and adoption this year, especially within the art and gaming industries. However, although many games utilize NFTs, they are still used simply as collectibles and have few use cases beyond that.
Gold Fever takes the concept to a new level by making every in-game item an NFT. Everything from loot, land, buildings, vehicles, mining licenses and skins to customize your character are all NFTs. Not only that, but certain NFTs can generate passive income and have different use cases within the game.
Buildings represent a primitive form of digital real estate, as players who own airfields, for example, can charge other players a fee for repairing, refueling, or renting airplanes on their property. Gold mining licenses will also play a prominent role, allowing license owners to “hire” other players to mine gold on the licensed territory.
Closing thoughts
As one of the first true blockchain Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, Gold Fever has the potential to introduce millions of users to the new play-to-earn model and establish a new gaming paradigm. The game’s ecosystem will be owned and governed by its community, thus allowing players to be financially rewarded for their progression in the game.
Gold Fever already has a fully working prototype, but its early access release is only scheduled for Q4 of this year. Early supporters, however, will have the opportunity to become part of the project in the upcoming Initial Decentralized Offering (IDO).
