REAL-TIME BLOCKCHAIN BASED MULTIPLAYER GAME - THE WORLDOPOLY PROJECT
Introduction:
Gaming has always held a special corner in my heart. I still remember those days when I used to run back from school, throw the school bag at one corner of my room, change clothes and run to my neighbor's house so that we could compete with each other in a game of Mario. I could never beat my neighbor's score, but that's a different story.
Since the advent of the internet in the late '90s multiplayer gaming has evolved a lot. From local server based multiplayer games to worldwide server based ones which can be played by millions of people worldwide in real time, gaming has become a sort of a lifestyle. Nowadays, professional gamers can earn a good amount of money by competing with each other and streaming it to their fans across the world.
The Problem:
No wonder that gaming has evolved exponentially over the years. However, some of the problems pinning the online gaming industry down are still to be solved. The first among these problems is the lack of innovation. Most of the multi player games use the same old tried and tested methods to attract new users. Another problem is the reluctance among game developers to use new technology in their gaming platforms. All these hamper the growth of the industry and prohibits it from achieving new heights.
Professional players or gamers often have to wait for days or months to receive the payment for their winnings. This can be attributed to the slow transfer rate and high fees of the current banking practices.
The Solution:
The Worldopoly Project proposes to launch the world's first multiplayer real time augmented reality based game on the blockchain. The project aims to eradicate all the problems that seem to plague down the online multiplayer gaming industry. With the state of the art blockchain technology, payouts for gamers will be a breeze. Not only this, but the project has a very innovative inbuilt feature where people can buy portions of land using embedded Google maps. Looking from a gamer's point of view, this sounds so interesting! I mean, imagine owing virtual land and establishing your empire in the real world while competing with other gamers -- doesn't it sound super cool ?
The team and the ICO:
The Worldopoly Project aims to fund the initial development of the platform, maintenance and general marketing campaign through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Investors participating in the Initial Coin Offering can buy the WPT token which can be used for performing all transactions on the Worldopoly ecosystem. The token is based on the Ethereum blockchain and is a standard ERC 20 token.
The team leading the project has multiple years of experience across several verticals. The board of advisors to the project are executives of top multinational companies. Together the team is more than capable to pull off this project.
Conclusion:
Honestly speaking, I am a huge fan of online gaming. Ever since my childhood days, I have always been on the lookout for new and entertaining games. New innovations and technologies in the gaming sector is something I always look out for. A multiplayer gaming platform based on the transparent and secure blockchain network is sure to give the industry a much needed boost.
The game has a very well thought out strategy -- investing in virtual assets and then selling these for a high profit percentage. Gamers can earn good amount of money if they apply the right strategy and buy the right properties using augmented reality. I definitely loved the concept. I believe that the team is really capable to pull off a project of this massive scale. Lot of serious issues has been addressed by blockchain till date. To see blockchain serve the needs of gamers is a very welcome move and I expect it to be one of the top grossing blockchain based projects of 2018!
