@andrewchen Can you share more about what types of games you're looking to invest in? Are fully on-chain games on Solana of particular interest in this cohort?
GM @toly, what do you think about using Testnet as L2 for gaming? A free-to-play, fully on-chain game on Testnet, with a custom bridge to move assets with economic value from/to Mainnet for trading? π€
1/ Welcome to the future of digital asset ownership!
Metaplex is proud to present Core, the next-generation standard for NFTs on Solana.
Core is now LIVE on Devnet π¦Ύ
Let's dive in π
Ignore the visuals, it's an early dev build. π
What we're working on:
1) Water tiles, new units, technologies and resources.
2) Map editor: anyone will be able to handcraft their own maps and publish them in the content store for other players. Content creators, get ready! π«‘
Finally, enhanced NPC logic: diplomacy, trading, war/peace. It's a tough task to build a gaming AI fully on-chain, but we have made some progress and will open beta access to these features this month.
Finalizing our new release with "Economic Victory":
- Establish at least 5 trade routes
- Research all technologies in the Economy tree
- Trade > 5K total resources with NPCs π
- Accumulate 20K gold
- Build the "Global Stock Exchange" wonder
And one more thing...
We're rolling out minor updates:
- Units can now evolve through epochs when the required tech is unlocked (e.g. archer -> crossbowman -> rifleman).
- Added storage capacity for resources. Default is 50. Can be increased with buildings.
- Rebalancing & fixes.
