The Cheapest Emerging Blockchain Game and Lottery that May Be Out There at the Moment
There are many qualifiers in how you can classify the "actual cost" in playing a game now on the blockchain. It can be measured in real, instant, liquid assets, such as steem/sbd and other cryptos that are on other exchanges including all of those on steem-engine used to instantly pay for virtual assets within a game. Some games are 'free' or claim to be 'free,' I put that in quotes because nothing is free and at best this game is an ad trap, or a game that will be a bait and switch with a future cost within the game. There is also of course less liquid assets that are used on the steem blockchain including delegation of steem power, or any other voting power on the steem-engine platform to gain resources, such as gaining DEC daily from The Splinterlands
These resources gain some nice perks in the game and countless of players have taken advantage of these options on all games that have come out on the steem blockchain. The Splinterlands being the clear and obvious leader in receipts and revenue unquestionably to this point by a "not even close margin." Continued developments, total transparency in conducting all business, and an "uber-friendly player/user based game" has cemented the brand as reliable and the current standard on the steem blockchain, and very likely other blockchains to come...possibly.
One game I feel right now that is immensely undervalued, the game across the board with respect to the in game assets and the crypto within the game. The game I am discussing is DrugWars. The crypto within the game, which is a newly issued crypto on the steem-engine exchange as DrugWars Dollars or DWD. Prices as of late have ranged from half a cent and more often less on the market as of late, and for as little as $50 DWD you can get a base up and running that is on its way to being fairly powerful within not too terribly long by strategically powering up your productions and continuing to oversee your upgrades on a daily basis. Yes, that's 25 cents to get a small foothold in an online crypto game that is drastically on its way to a full blown revamping of the "Original Access" version. Worried about this crypto dumping drastic amounts on the user? Well no need, the max supply is 10 million tokens, and actually has a negative inflation supply. That's right tokens are all already issued and as they are being used they are being burned.
Is that registering to you? If so then I want to let you know that the game is in a full blown effort to bring newer phases of the game, and especially increase its communications to the users in how these changes will make your game different and thus allow you to strategize accordingly.
We haven't even included cards that will be revealed when ready and perfected by the lead programmer, who is fanatical about making sure as much of the process is correct and tested before releasing any new cards or any new battle systems, or anything else sick and cool that he may develop in the meantime.
So that's my forecast. Very bullish on The Splinterlands, just as bullish (if not even more) on the growth potential of DrugWars, which is saying an awful lot about DrugWars and the future prospects I am seeing of course with the immense success The Splinterlands has experienced amid crypto crisis after crypto crisis, over and over again- but it will not die, or for that matter stop growing. Again, an incredible tough act to follow on DrugWars part, and perhaps even impossible of an act to follow, but I am nonetheless "jacked" for its future prospects.
Oh yes and I almost forgot the lottery. A newly instituted option on the game that is a fun little wrinkle and may even be subject to some 'updating' as well. For a chance to win you need at least one ticket, yes, that's right, 1 ticket= a half cent or less, purchased with your DrugWars account you have set up, which costs nothing to bring up. In fact anyone on steemit or even outside of steemit (Facebook and other platforms) can access their account. There's a daily prize at the moment but could be an addition to the game's fun little daily dynamic coming at some point not too far down the road.
Full disclosure: I recently was fortunate enough to became a consultant to the game's programmer and originator, helping in any capacity I can including taking on an extended role as co-developing a daily activity system that is working on the possibility of revamping some of the daily rewards and statuses in the game. I am still of course the daily The Splinterlands maniac as always, I guess I am just adding DrugWars as consulting with the game, which I have played daily for at least the last several months anyway so I might as well take the plunge and get even more involved in something that a lot of time is spent on already.
I must add these are projections on my part as I have no crystal ball on how the public will or will not endorse the updates to the DrugWars game. As always on the blockchain make the best decisions based on your personal situation and make these decisions based on rationality and avoid overly extending yourself in speculative enterprises, as this one and virtually all crypto enterprises often are. Best of luck, please send any questions or comments I would love to hear them. Thanks for the read and best of luck to you on the Steem Based Economy.
I have designed and developed slightly different kinds of games on the DEX. I still consider them games as players are pitting their trading skills against each other and, unlike real trading, there is an end with profits distributed to all players still holding tokens. You may check @ADDAX and @ONECENT for current live games. Thanks.
Wow, that is cool @addax I will have to check these out, thanks for the heads up.
Thanks, has been challenging promoting a completely new game concept, but we do now have a small hardcore group of players. Hopefully can build on that. Any new player can join at any time - just pitch your initial buy price just right! New games are launched about every 2 weeks - will do more but only if there are more people. Any questions, just ask on any of the account posts.
