Alien Worlds, become space miners (for fun) with the blockchain and Nft

The one among video games, blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and NFTs it is a bond that is slowly becoming more and more welded, despite the vehement protests of part of users who are afraid of possible, further speculations after years of paid content, lootboxes and other practices definitely far from the classic concept of videogames.

Beyond the protests, the experiments continue, and one of the most recent is called Alien Worlds. Apparently it is not very different from many managerial and strategic titles: in the game we will be a kind of intergalactic intermediary who has the aim of accumulating a fortune with space mining (Colonialism and resource exploitation are a great classic in video games), making deals, upgrading equipment and trading the resources obtained, a currency called Trilium.

Using registered spaceships, miners, upgrades and excavation tools via a Wax blockchain, players can gradually increase their business and resell rare commodities and artifacts that are in fact Nft. In addition to simple mining, the game is characterized by a dense political network, as players can influence elections in individual planets and participate in meetings to decide the distribution of mining concessions and any proceeds. The whole is basato su Binance Smart Chain ed Ethereum: every exchange is safe and the ownership of every object in the game is guaranteed and countersigned by the system.

At the moment Alien Worlds it is an ongoing project with new features added week by week, but according to the project website defines itself as “the largest decentralized game in the world” with just under one and a half million active users. For now, these kinds of integrations work particularly well in management titles, which are partly based on classics like Ogame or Travian, but one day these kinds of mechanics could be much more widespread. And if already some video games, such as Fifa, they are often a competition to see who spends the most, it will be interesting (but also a bit disturbing) to understand what their evolution will be with NFT.
