In-Depth Analysis of On-Chain Games: Revolution or Bubble, Challenges and Opportunities Coexist
Full Chain Game Depth Research Report: Native Core of Encryption, Bubble or Revolution?
I. Introduction: Overview of Full-Chain Games
The whole-chain game puts all interactive behaviors and states of the game on the chain, including game logic, data storage, digital assets, and game status, all processed by the blockchain, thereby achieving true decentralized gaming.
Main features of blockchain games:
The authenticity of data sources is ensured by blockchain, and game data is completely transparent.
The game logic and rules are implemented through smart contracts.
Game development follows the principles of an open ecosystem and supports third-party development.
The game is independent of the client; even if the core developer's client disappears, the game can still continue.
2. The Necessity of Full-Chain Games
The main challenges faced by the traditional gaming industry:
Game distribution is limited by the license number, and the approval cycle is long.
The initial development costs are high, the payback period is long, and it is easy to incur sunk costs.
Full-chain games can solve these problems to some extent:
Targeting global users, bypassing version number restrictions.
By issuing NFTs and tokens, income can be generated in the early stages of the game, lowering the financial threshold.
3. Current Status of the Blockchain Gaming Industry
Currently, on-chain games are in the early stages, mainly divided into:
Full-chain game projects: such as Dark Forest, Loot Survivor, etc., most of which are in the testing phase.
Full-chain game engines: such as Mud, Dojo, etc., lowering the development threshold.
Full-chain game dedicated chains: such as World Engine, Curio, etc., specifically addressing performance issues.
Full-chain game aggregation platform: such as Composable Hub, Cartridge, etc., making it easy for users to discover games.
4. The Core Advantages of Full-Chain Games
From PGR to UGR: Let players become creators of game rules, not just consumers.
Fairness and Transparency: All game logic is on-chain, ensuring that the rules are public and transparent.
V. Challenges Faced by Full-Chain Games
Poor user experience: rough picture quality, inconvenient interaction, frequent bugs.
Limited Game Types: Currently, the main type is strategy games, and it is difficult to implement game types that require high real-time performance.
Authenticity of demand is questionable: Whether UGR and fairness are necessities still needs to be verified.
Complete decentralization may cause chaos: it is necessary to balance professional design and user creation.
6. Thoughts on the Business Model of Full-Chain Games
Different business models can be adopted according to the type of game:
Lightweight games: NFT + Token charging.
Epic narrative games: Pay to enter + Subscription membership.
Board Games: Commission Model.
7. Summary
The whole-chain games are still in the early exploration stage and face many challenges. There is a need to further explore how to utilize features such as UGR and fairness to address real demands and enhance playability in order to achieve large-scale applications. We look forward to the emergence of game projects in the future that truly leverage the characteristics of the whole chain and address practical needs.
