A team of developers say they are in the final stages of beta testing for a “revolutionary” online game which allows players to explore an entire galaxy based on blockchain.
0xUniverse[1] is the first Ethereum-powered title from 0xGames[2] – and together, its professionals have decades of experience in game development. Their team was formed last November.
In this 3D rendered game, players are 22nd-century space explorers setting out in private enterprise to colonize the planets of a colorful, blockchain-powered galaxy.
Players begin by purchasing their first planet. Here they must scavenge for resources and learn craftsmanship from the natives in order to build a spaceship strong enough to take them farther in their quest. The more planets conquered, the more resources and vessel-building knowledge explorers collect.
Spacecrafts with stronger engines cover larger areas, and using enhanced radar systems increases their chances of finding rare planets. Launching a spaceship with a weaker build or in an area where many planets have already been conquered will decrease its chances of landing somewhere new – and ships that don't land can be lost forever.
0xUniverse takes players on a journey that will uncover the universe’s secrets. Each planet offers stories of love and betrayal, bloody wars, civilizations and catastrophe. The artifacts found on their surface tell stories of the races that populated the galaxy before humans came into existence. By joining forces with other explorers, players will ultimately discover the cosmic origins of life itself.
The 0xUniverse galaxy has a finite number of planets to be discovered, and because each one is a digital collectible, those richer in resources and population are more valuable. Planets fall into one of four categories: common, rare, epic or legendary. The 0xGames team says, "players can count on frequent returns
