NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Commonly misspelled
"crypto collectable," these blockchain games have blown up in
revenue as they show actual decentralized applications (dapps)
working on a public blockchain.
Within the past 2 months, there has been over $60,000,000 transacted within these
games.
Up to this point, most games are still simple in game mechanics
and copy a template from previous games (oftentimes
CryptoKitties).
World of Ether (https://worldofether.com/) created a new
template and recently became the most anticipated of these games.
Crypto-gamers are paying a minimum of .65 ETH just to
start.
The game is founded by the co-founder of the largest Ethereum
meetup group in the world, and his brother, who's a senior
developer at GitHub.
In it, "explorers" battle, breed, and collect monsters.
Explorers can earn ETH by selling and siring monsters. Explorers
can level up, gain experience from battling, and get permanent
credit for discovering a new monster.
The game is one of the only few to not use procedurally
generated art. Everything in it is custom made, and highly
stylized. It's being designed to compete artistically with top
mainstream video games.
With no outreach, the game went viral on social media, and sold
half a million dollars of presale assets in just its first two days
of release.
One of their new whales came in on Friday, buying $22,000 of presale assets to use in the main
game.
A week before, the game announced a partnership with Coinbase's
Toshi.
Most crypto collectible games are only in English. World of
Ether is the first to be translated into Chinese, Russian, Korean,
Japanese, French, and Spanish. EtherCraft, another popular
crypto-game, comes close, being translated into Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean.
In its Telegram it is being predicted to help bring crypto to
the mainstream.
As happened with CryptoKitties, there have already been 4 games
that have used World of Ether's HTML as a template for their
own.
