By creating a game economy, we shift the definition of a successful title away from revenue towards real-world benefits for players, thus extending game longevity. Our vision is to be at theforefront of "Play & Earn" games through the implementation of blockchain as an underlying technology. We let gamers own game assets as they invest time and effort to gain power, skills, and ranking. By using game assets, gamers can make their value increase through leveling-up, crafting. Lend, borrow, sell and buy game assets. Gamers should be free to use their assets within a community of gamers in and outside the game itself. Starchain Gazer is working on a 4X RTS type game with the ambition to transition into an MMORPG. | $417.4K / Pre-Seed / Oct 01, 2021 | |
