100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 9 - Gaming on Steem - a Community Challenge
Over the past year or so Gaming has become a growing feature of the Steem ecosystem.
Led by the pioneering Splinterlands (previously Steemmonsters), a considerable number of games have been launched on the Steem platform.
Although a number of the games have now either folded or moved to other platforms, there still remains a healthy ‘Gaming Industry’ on Steem.
Gaming is a big part of the online world, so it is important for Steem to stake its claim as a prime destination for gamers and game developers.
So we are keen to gather input and ideas on how we can work together to make Steem an attractive blockchain both for game players and game developers.
Taking Stock - Games on Steem
Currently the active games on Steem are :
@SteemKnights [ aka Knights of Cathena ]
It is understood that the space strategy game @nextcolony is still running on Steem but will be closed down when the final season ends on 10 May. The game code will then be made open source for anyone that wants to pick it up to continue running it on Steem…
Splinterlands at the moment is running on Steem and Steem-Engine, but HIVE and HBD are now accepted as payment. The Splinterlands team are still considering their future plans…
@WhereIN also have a game called Steem Killers.
Does anyone know of any other games already operating on Steem? Or any currently in development?
Growing the Games - A Four Part Strategy
Assuming there is general agreement that it will be good for Steem to encourage Games on the platform we believe there are four elements to work on…
- Encouraging existing Steemians to use the existing games more
- Encouraging more people from outside Steem to join to play the existing games
- Encouraging existing developers on Steem to build more games
- Encouraging developers from outside to come to Steem to develop new games
Some of this will be up to existing game owners and developers to pursue through their own business development efforts.
However, to help the overall growth of Steem, we at Steemit Inc are keen to play our part in helping gaming grow on the platform.
Our resources are likely to be limited to pursue this, particularly in the short term, so we are looking for creative ideas from the community on how we can help promote gaming on Steem.
We would like to hear both from game developers and players.
If you have suggestions please put them in the comments below, or better still, expand them into a full post and drop a link below.
We will even make this a mini ‘Community Challenge’ and give out some friendly upvotes to the best suggestions and best posts.
Tag the posts with #gameonsteem so we can find them easily.
We are particularly keen to hear from members of the new INVEN Gaming Community just being set up by @roadofrich, @mickvir and @morning…
Expanding our Focus
So far on the 100 Days project we have mainly been focusing on the content creation side of Steem.
Now we want to turn some of our attention to other elements of Steem.
We hope many of you will be interested to contribute ideas and suggestions as we move forward on our journey of building Steem into the best blockchain it can be.
We look forward to working with you…

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
On Monday at 7pm PST / 11am KST / 2am UTC Green House Radio Online is hosting a Steem Witness Forum on their Discord server.
This is a community organised forum but we hope as many witnesses as possible, and as many of the community as possible, will be able to attend…
Thank you @greenhouseradio for putting on this forum.
Steem on,
The Steemit team
Thank you Steemit for putting gaming in the spotlight!
Fundition always supports the gaming world, gaming project and obviously gaming content producers, which is why we have launched https://gaming.fundition.io/. The first exclusively crowdfunding platform for game lovers.
Over the years, we have supported some gaming projects developed on the Steem blockchain, and happy to keep on supporting present and future projects 😄
We believe that gaming is one of the best way to attract new blockchain users and of course new Steemians.
AFK for now, but see you soon on gaming.fundition
Thank you for your support @fundition.

the best comment I ever saw)
)))))))))))))))))
The shoe for censorship can be worn on both sides, right? Here at Steem I see movement and that they are trying to work together with the community. I can't see that in Hive. You can find the same structures there as you did here in front of the fork.
It's just the way it is and you can't change anything. Why don't you slowly give it a rest ? I can't see so many comments on Hive where everything is badly talked about by Steem followers. Take a look at the example and let it be good.
Have a nice easter party !
These false equivalence fallacies are getting old.
Seriously, please leave us alone right? I want to go back to building our platform, not fighting.
Thanks for the mention! @steemitblog
Our team is developing two games, RORGAME and Road of Rich.
First, I would like to introduce RORGAME.
RORGAME is conducting a beta test.
It is a mini-game platform that can play games through the Android mobile app and has over 50 types of mini-games.
RORGAME has a ranking battle every day. It is a system where people can receive rewards according to their rank.
We had more than 5500 subscribers during the 2 months of the beta test and are developing for full service. In May, official service is likely to be available.
All over 50 games are working in RORGAME, and the STEEM payment system pre-ranking system has been developed. We are developing a rewards system.

Road of Rich Alpha Service

cool
move to hive.
We are looking forward to seeing how Road of Rich develops.
Do you have a Discord server for Road of Rich? Who is the best person to contact at Road of Rich if we need more information?

Thank you for the contact details.
We started the Witness node to develop the STEEM blockchain.

Thanks for the mention!
In Rada Quest, our first goal is to reach at minimun of 100,000 SP of our own. All the benefits obtained are added directly to SP until the goal is achieved. That amount is a starting point to be able to claim accounts and get some benefits through curations. Temporary delegations that help to achieve that goal more quickly would be welcome. With delegations we will be able to gain more SP from curation.
Another very important factor for us will be the SMTs. We look forward to their development. Rada Quest is a strategy and card game and uses many tradable items.
Sounds like you have a good plan.
We will be following progress.
The Steemit Team
Hahaha, yes; I have a plan. I've been working on the Rada Quest project for 10 years and Steem, with its community and blockchain, finally provides me with the perfect platform for its deployment. Let's make Steem grow!
Thank you very much for the mention. I've been working very hard to build something valuable for the chain. Hashkings is exclusive to the Steem Blockchain and will remain that way for the foreseeable future, I am committed to Steem and have gone through lengths to build a solid community. Thanks again for the mention, please do not hesitate to contact me in the canna-curate discord with any questions.
-@qwoyn
We would love your support as witness. Vote for Hashkings as witness here
Hashkings App
Thank you @gwoyn. Will look forward to seeing how Hashkings develops.
The Steemit Team
I appreciate it. Also since I have your attention. How do we sit down with the steemit team as witnesses and discuss the future of steem? The forum is a good start but there are many issues at hand that we need to discuss. Also how does one go about getting the dev365 witness vote?
A good starting point will be to build up the Steem Witness Forums to get more witnesses involved. Particularly the top 20 witnesses.
It might be that members of the Steemit Inc team come along to those in the future if that would work for everyone.
The Steemit Team
Thats more than fair and please do come by, as such a large stakeholder there is much valuable information to gain for steemit inc at these forums. Users are overwhelmingly claiming that this chain is centralized. Let's prove to them that it is not and let's work together to build something the world will be impressed by.
Thanks for invite, we will try to come along. Although it might not be for a few weeks yet as we are small team at the moment and are rather overrun!
That makes complete sense. If you need volunteers, I'm sure I know a few steem users that would be willing to help.
Thank you.
Thank you for actually taking notice of our community! We are excited for the future of Steem, and you can count on us to put in the hard work to make the Steem platform thrive!
Looking forward to working with you.
The Steemit Team
Great news! Also I love what you are all doing with the curation projects. We submitted an application, and also saw many other great applications! That tells me the future is bright.
Yes, got your application thank you.
We have been very happily surprised by the amount of interest in the project.
Great! Yeah I was worried ours may have blown buried amongst the many applicants! Thank you
There is a game called holybread also on steem
Thanks for the reminder on Holybread. Is the game still active? They haven't posted for a couple of months.
Yes, it's still active. They posted an update one month ago: https://steemit.com/holybread/@holybread/holybread-update-potions-premium-lite-small-changes
Thanks for this.
Hopefully they can post again soon with another update.
I wrote some of my thoughts about the topic in a post: My thoughts about the Steem gaming ecosystem.
Great post - thank you for this.
We added some comments on the post.
The Steemit Team
Unfortunately @greecelover didn't tell me he was working on a translation, too - his hadn't been posted when I started to work on mine. So now we have two translations of this day's post ;)
https://steemit.com/deutsch/@muscara/uebersetzung-steemitblog-100-days-of-steem-day-9-gaming-on-steem-a-community-challenge-spielen-auf-steem
Like I wrote in my post: if other people are interested in translating these posts, a schedule should be made to share the work - we did that with the Steem Alliance posts before the elections, even had a special account for that (@steemalliance-de). That goes for every language - translating stuff is hard (but necessary) work.
Please keep up your good work @muscara!
Thank you for the translation @muscara.
Coordination between different translators would be useful.
I don't see why I should tell you or deny you anything.
I will continue to translate each post automatically and disable the payout for it. Why don't you translate the posts on HIVE for the platform you are also fond of ? I do not understand it. You talk badly about Steem and steemitblog but then translate the posts on a platform they don't like. Why?
I don't want money and I don't care about votes. I'm just against this false testimony and corruption.
Ist Dir langweilig Holger?
Here I go with my "little" request:

Thank you for this great succession.
Our tech team are taking a look at this.
