Creating a top-notch Web3 video game can be quite an undertaking. It takes large teams, significant development time, and a massive distribution effort to bring such a project to fruition.
AI is seen as a must-have in the gaming industry since it can help overcome some of these challenges and elevate gaming experiences.
For example, using AI tools for prototyping or mood-boarding during a game’s early concept phase can significantly shorten the development time. AI can also be used to generate in-game assets at a large scale, saving game developers time and costs.
However, AI is expensive, and training LLM models requires massive computational power. This is a huge problem for many independent game development studios because the high costs limit their ability to incorporate advanced AI features into their games.
Anomaly is a new Layer 3 on Zk-EVM that combines Web3 and SocialFi (social finance) and leverages AI to accelerate and enhance game development.
Popular L2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism have captured most users’ attention, but Layer 3 has emerged in recent times to provide game developers with higher levels of customizability. This introduces flexibility and allows developers to implement their solutions to meet specific needs.
L3 solutions are rollups built on top of Layer 2 blockchains. These are often custom-designed for a specific purpose, like Anomaly, which is specifically built for gaming.
Launch Web3 games faster with AI
The Anomaly Layer-3 chain is designed to rapidly deliver immersive gaming experiences through decentralization and easier game monetization. It allows game developers to build and go to market faster by leveraging its AI-enabled Game Engine. This innovative technology provides a cost-effective environment for creating blockchain games with minimal blockchain features visible to users.
For example, onboarding is done through social platforms instead of crypto wallets to make the gaming experience as seamless as possible. In addition, Anomaly simplifies in-game economics using SocialFi, thus allowing game developers to monetize their games immediately after they launch.
Another standout feature of the Anomaly is the Anomaly SDK, which enables game developers to enhance their games with practical and impactful AI features. This SDK is expected to attract more developers to the platform as it mitigates the cost barrier that has hindered the growth of AI in Web3 gaming.
Some practical use cases include:
Player data such as Login/Leaderboards/Levels
AI-powered matchmaking
AI-powered decision-making for in-game actions
Player trained models
Automated quests and reward systems
AI-trained Asset generation
More autonomous world SDKs
The future of social gaming
Social gaming is where the future meets fun but is currently limited by existing tools. Web3 gamers are spread across many different social platforms that are not compatible or interconnected. This limits their ability to connect and play together across platforms.
Anomaly wants to meet Web3 players where they are. It achieves this by seamlessly integrating with social media platforms like Telegram, Discord, and Farcaster so users can onboard quickly and start playing. The games open natively and directly from these social platforms, ensuring uninterrupted and immersive gameplay.
Other exciting features include:
Play-to-airdrop. Users can claim points daily with small quests and daily activations.
Telegram/Discord AI automation. For personalized quests with frictionless growth that is easy to administer with Discord.
Leveraging Telegram. Leverage Telegram’s 3+ million users and reach web3 audiences where they are, with strong community building.
Zero crypto knowledge is required. Anomaly is pioneering the bridge from Web2 to Web3, ensuring the user experience is as intuitive as it is exhilarating.
Created by successful Web3 veterans
The Anomaly team has a proven track record of building Web3 tools, games, and communities with millions of active users. Founder Long Do is an expert who is experienced in leading and advising several of the hottest web3 games and teams. Through 2021-2023, Long has had two successful exits in Web3 gaming with the top gaming projects.
Upcoming Node NFT Sale
In tandem with its mainnet launch, Anomaly will offer AI-based Node NFTs to its early supporters. The Anomaly Nodes will first be sold privately and then via various NFT communities. In addition, Anomaly’s team will distribute 27.5% (150 million tokens) of its soon-to-be-released token to all NFT holders.
