Onchain Gaming

Excited to share highlights from @yurinondual's latest blog post about the development of "Skybreach Dungeons," a captivating mini-game. The post dives into the complexities of building on-chain games, including smart contracts, in-game economies, and innovative tools for a seamless experience.

If anyone is curious to know what it takes to build a somewhat complex onchain game, I wrote a high level post on how we built our game on @base. Some tools mentioned: @privy, @wevm, @coinbasewallet, Subsquid, @axelar-network, @squidrouter amongst others

Axelar is the Web3 interoperability platform. An open stack to connect all blockchains. A single click to use and build everywhere.

The easiest and most secure crypto wallet and dapp browser. Your gateway to getting onchain. wallet.coinbase.com

haha, yeah we were lucky to use Axelar early on that provides cross-chain messaging. It's mostly used for transferring assets, but can actually used to do calls between contracts on different EVM chains, which is pretty cool, but not used much by anyone at the moment

forward thinking tech to go multichain-compatible with your game assets!
so much low-level development which will get incorporated into frameworks over the next 5-10 years. NextViem wen?

Building /stokefire a mobile strategy game onchain. Run and own poolfish.xyz a calculator for LP providers. Built Potion solo and sold for $300k.

To add more to this. I think FOCG in general is only suitable to a subset of genres. Like RTS or turn based games where each in-game state change that you see can be saved on-chain. For something more action-packed obviously it doesn't make sense to save every little movement and change on-chain, so we have to have a client side solution to ensure that the game was played in between start and end calls to the contract. If we had time and money to implement gasless txs with embedded wallets, then we could store more of the intermediary state in between start and end (so user doesn't  even need to know that it was saved), like between each room cleared for example, or maybe even on every mob killed etc. But in this case of Dungeons it's good enough as is IMO.

Thanks for sharing. Lots of moving pieces! I just played the game too!

So are you making txs from godot? Or is that just the mini game and then you pop back out to js to make txs.

I was thinking about using godot if possible.

We don't have to deal with it here. Godot compiles gdscript into WASM for web export.

So we don't have to work with WASM directly, just take the wasm compiled by Godot already wrapped into html. Then we just add simple js interface to communicate between godot and web using window.postMessage

any starting notes for wasm development? curious to check it out!
