Introducing SHARD. My new video game's premium currency.

Posts: 8 · #1 - August 26, 2021, 02:53:42 AM

I'm a part time video game developer with a passion for 2d pixel art MMO's, and my upcoming game (alpha date tbd no eta yet) Ringworlds, is going to have a premium currency system using a newly minted token - SHARD. It will be the token distributed to players for completing certain tasks, or defeating bosses etc.

This combined with my discord server contests, a SHARD lottery, and ticket entries for giveaways, I'm hoping to see the token grow and become the native currency of a small thriving digital community as well as spread knowledge about the Signum network.

Some technical specs about SHARD:

Supply: 420 Billion. 420,000,000,000
decimals : 4
Token ID: 3559752463096788344

I'm interested to know what kind of thoughts people here have about this idea.

Do you think it's a worthwhile opportunity to engage more people with the signum network and tokens via video gaming?
If so, what do you think it's best, worst, and hardest moments will be?
Do you think it can help drive more people to learn about tokens and decentralized exchanges?
What are your thoughts on the economic impact of a largely successful game with this mechanic?

Thanks for taking the time to read/reply. I'm super interested to know what you think.

I think it's a great idea and I'm looking forward to see this get started. Crypto related games are on fire and have a bright future. Gaming is a very big industry and is expected to keep growing. Keep us updated.

Yes, gamification drives more interaction itself, but if you take it a step further and have the points/rewards tied to a token then I think it will be even better. Then the tokens can be traded outside the game and the points/rewards will have more real value.

Yes, it would drive more traffic to the game because of extra exposure on explorers and word-of-mouth traffic. It would also cause people to learn about Signum and related subjects like BTDEX.
