Thanks to the continuous growth and maturation of the crypto ecosystem, the gaming industry has found a solid place in the world of open blockchains. Cutting edge concepts such as token sales ($TFN), NFTs, semi-fungible tokens, staking and layer-2 blockchain architecture all boast the potential to optimize cost efficiency and incentive distribution. A wide range of networks can provide diverse microservices governed by community standards, enabling quick, frequent and reliable delivery of large, complex applications and technology stack evolution. We are currently engaged in the process of tech stack selection for our game prototyping, with the ultimate goal of decentralizing and minimizing transaction costs.

Architecture

The continuous inflation of Ethereum gas fees is a contentious issue. Although Ethereum 2.0 boasts a proof-of-stake system that simplifies cryptographic work, its high volatility is still a major entry barrier for new users. Luckily, Layer-2 blockchain platforms are a great solution for game developers, as they provide gas-free platforms and NFT smart contracts. We adapt Polygon as our Layer 2 blockchain solution and may integrate other solutions in the future when we see fit.

Game Core

Frontend: Unity. We have chosen Unity for our frontend game development. Although Unreal boasts better rendering, performance and scalability, its blockchain game tech stack has little to no support. Moreover, Unreal’s pricing model is 5% royalty of overall sales, which may not fit with the blockchain ecosystem. Thus, we have selected Unity, and hope that Unity can provide better multithreading solutions in the near future.
