Web3 Game Development Path: Improving Game Quality, Cash Flow is Crucial. Gala Games Launches Gala Chain to Build a Comprehensive Entertainment Ecosystem. Its Game, Mirandus, Begins NFT Sales and Testing, Allowing Players to Earn Tokens Through Gameplay. Mirandus is a Blockchain-based Game where Players can Purchase Deeds to Obtain Land Ownership and Use NFTs to Build, Explore, and Transport Goods to Enhance Abilities. Selling Game Items Generates Cash Flow and Controls Asset Inflation. The Team Releases New Content to Maintain Player Engagement, but the Exemplars Limit (50,000) Restricts Growth. With the Backing of Gala Games, Mirandus has the Opportunity to Go Further.
Why am I optimistic about the development of the gaming industry in this cycle? Unlike the previous Play2Earn cycle, the quality of games in this cycle is better, such as Parallel, Bigtime, Nyan, Pixels Online, and more. The impact of high-quality games on users is evident, transitioning from “buying NFT assets and staking them to earn money in a pure Ponzi scheme” to “requiring users to actively participate in the game and spend time to earn corresponding income.” This new model will bring us new opportunities. Old games may resist, but real wealth opportunities will definitely arise from games adopting the new model (high-quality games that require PoW).
Smart old projects will choose to upgrade their existing games or launch new games to cater to the new narrative, such as Ronin (Axie Infinity). On the other hand, projects that fail to adapt often stick to their old ways, exhausting their influence in the industry (I won’t mention names here). I firmly believe that game projects that choose the path of high-quality games will shine in this cycle.
Take @GoGalaGames as an example. Of course, the games previously launched by Gala Games were enjoyable. They used to focus on node mining. To adapt to the new narrative of the current cycle, Gala introduced Gala Chain and built a decentralized entertainment ecosystem for music, movies, and more. In the future, Gala Chain will also explore storage, DePin, and other areas. Meanwhile, Gala Games’ game, @MirandusGame, which has been in preparation for years, has started NFT sales and extensive game testing. It is transitioning from a small-scale game to a large-scale MMORPG, and its official release should be not far away.
Let’s briefly discuss the game Mirandus.
1/ Overview
Medieval fantasy adventure MMORPG
The world is ruled by five player monarchs, and players can choose different professions for adventure, battles, and management. It can be understood as a large virtual society. There are no maps or quest prompts “?”, allowing players to freely explore. The game is driven by incentives (Materium $MTRM tokens), which have production and consumption.
The core mechanism of the game is “player ownership of in-game assets.” For example, players can claim ownership of a piece of wilderness on the continent and build on it.
Overall, the game operates on the basis of incentivizing player behavior. Similar to Gala Games’ previous node mining model, players need to spend time playing the game to earn corresponding tokens, similar to Bigtime, making it a true “Play2Earn” game.
The game’s longevity will be stronger than the old GameFi paradigm, as real players will form communities, giving the game a longer lifespan.
2/ NFT: In-Game Assets
1. Exemplars
There are five types of Exemplars: ELF, HALFLING, ORC, DWARF, and HUMAN. Currently, ELF and HALFLING NFTs are sold out, and HUMAN NFTs will soon be sold out as well. Different races and branches have different abilities. For example, the Allsight ELF has a ranged weapon bonus. In simple terms, the race determines your role in the game society because its specific characteristics allow you to better engage in related game content.
2. Deeds
The game offers different Deeds (such as castles, towns, villages, outposts, etc.), and players can acquire ownership of in-game assets (land) through different Deeds.
3. Buildings
After determining land ownership through Deeds, players need to use Buildings NFTs to construct on the land.
4. Ships
Ships are exploration tools in the game. Players need Ships to explore and transport goods.
5. Docks
Docks are used for docking Ships.
6. Items
There are various types of Items, functional and buff-type game items. Currently, the Lantern of The Sun is on sale, which provides illumination to help players explore the dark wilderness.
Mirandus has put almost all game items on the blockchain, which is both good and bad. The good thing is that the game showcases players’ ownership of in-game assets through NFTs, but the bad thing is that it adds unnecessary transaction costs for players. If Mirandus can address this issue well after the game’s release, then please disregard my concerns.
3/ Differences from Bigtime
Currently, blockchain games need cash flow to sustain project operations and game content (unlike buyout games). Bigtime earns cash flow through time-based payments, but it does not have corresponding empowerment (in fact, Bigtime can achieve token empowerment through repurchases or other means, unrelated to the game itself, as long as there is empowerment, which is also its main criticism).
On the other hand, Mirandus earns cash flow through the sale of in-game items, and the game token $MTRM has both production and consumption scenarios. The team can control the overall inflation of game assets by the speed at which new game content (sales of new game assets) is released. With proper operation and avoiding overfishing, the upper limit may be higher than that of Bigtime.
However, the fixed limit of Exemplars (50,000) to some extent restricts the game’s growth limit. Let’s see how the official team will address this issue in the future.
In summary, if Mirandus’ operational strategy (game asset issuance, community management, player engagement, etc.) is correct and well-executed, within the context of Gala Games, this game has the opportunity to reach greater heights.
