In the past year, the financing amount of the #Gamefi sector has reached US$730 million, almost catching up with the entire DeFi financing, which is quite strong! Axie told us that the #Gamefi project must first be a good game, some 3A A top-notch chain game masterpiece is worthy of our early planning. The game I’m going to talk about next, @MirandusGame, is the most anticipated MMORPG on Gala Games. It can be called an “upgraded version” of Big Time!
To briefly summarize, Mirandus is a truly open virtual world driven by players. It is a brand-new MMORPG game with a fantasy theme. The background is set in a huge world ruled by five player monarchs. In the game, players have absolute choices. Freedom: They can decide their own identity, choose their own tasks, adventure in the wilderness, build cities, trade with players, and dig treasures, all of which can bring opportunities to harvest tokens!
Mirandus gameplay includes the following:
-Quests and Adventures: Players can enhance their attributes and obtain economic benefits by exploring unknown areas and participating in battles
-Build and manage a kingdom: Players can build buildings, manage resources and defend their territory from other players and NPCs
-Battle and conflict: Players can fight for resources, territory or glory, and in team battles, different types of characters can play different roles.
Materium ($MTRM) is based on the ERC20 standard and is the native token of Mirandus. It has many ways to obtain it in the game, including: killing monsters or bosses (the stronger the monster, the more it explodes), mining, and trading between players. , complete tasks (such as building cities, inviting new players), etc. Tokens also have multiple uses in the game, including: casting spells, resurrecting, upgrading attributes, replacing missing materials when making magic equipment, teleportation, etc.
How we usually judge whether a chain game is good or bad, the core thing is whether the game itself is attractive enough. Materium has undoubtedly achieved this! It has:
- Player Ownership: Players can actually own, buy, sell and trade assets
-Dynamic open world: Player actions directly affect the environment and the direction of the game narrative
-Economic value: Ordinary players can also make money through the game
-Social interaction: encourages players to collaborate, trade, and interact
Let me introduce the Gala Games platform behind the game.#GALAis a blockchain game development company and aggregation platform founded in 2018, known as the "Steam in the blockchain field". Unlike other competing products, its team is composed of well-known traditional game developers. For #GALA, game fun is the first priority, and complex blockchain technology should not be an obstacle for players. It has strong community participation and encourages community co-governance.
Let’s talk about the team behind the game.#GALAco-founder and CEO Eric Schiermeyer and game chairman John Osvald, as well as Mirandus’ chief developer Michael McCarthy, are all from Zynga, a leader in the field of interactive entertainment. Among them, Michael has 30 years in the field of game development. Before joining, he was also the game director of Sandbox. He has rich experience in both traditional games and chain games.
If you pay attention to @MirandusGame's official tweets or official Medium, you will find that behind it is a team that makes games down-to-earth and is always committed to discovering problems, improving the visual effects of the game and the player experience. The official tweets are at The latest update released in February this year also mentioned some automated unit testing and development workflow updates.
Speaking of Mirandus, everyone can't help but think of Bigtime, a similar type of chain game that was very popular some time ago. They seem to be very similar, but there are many differences.
Bigtime will be officially launched in October 2023. It has been a hit since its launch. The main reason is its luxurious founding team lineup, financing background, and the narrative of 3A masterpieces and high-quality chain games. This has made the market jump out of Bigtime. Axie has great expectations for the chain gaming industry in the future.
But before long, market expectations gradually declined, and the native token $BIGTIME was also cut in half shortly after reaching ATH. The root cause was the problem of game mechanism. The game's gold-making gameplay is that players need to equip the time hourglass prop NFT to kill monsters in dungeons to get Bigtime tokens. The high income from gold-making needs to rely on a steady stream of late-entry players to maintain. After the Bigtime official took the initiative to adjust the economic mechanism, the gold-making efficiency also plummeted.
In contrast, Mirandus has significantly lowered the threshold for players. Its core is always the game, not an "investment" that calculates input and output. Currently, the game threshold requires Exemplar's NFT. For players who feel that Exemplar's price is too high, Subsequent rentals are open, and in order to accommodate more players, non-Exemplar free characters will be opened later! Compared to Bigtime players who enter first for this reason, Mirandus is more inclusive.
Moreover, Mirandus does not have the risk of a significant loss of players due to the "decreased gold coin explosion rate" similar to Bigtime. It is an open world with deep interaction between players and the game. The player's behavior directly affects the environment and the direction of the game narrative. Its The kernel is also an open community governed and participated by players, which largely avoids the governance crisis caused by the arbitrary actions of the project party.
The advantages of Mirandus compared to Bigtime can be summarized as follows:
-Backed by#GALAplatform, the technical background is strong enough, and the game quality itself is enough to attract continuous traffic
-The concept of high openness and community co-governance reduces governance crises
-The threshold is low, and the fee will be low or even free in the future. In addition to gold players, there are also real players in the game ecosystem
-The gameplay and ways to make money are rich enough that players are no longer short-term gold diggers, but loyal members
Summary: Mirandus is a phenomenal MMORPG game developed on the#GALAplatform and carefully polished by a professional team. It shows us the infinite possibilities of chain games to catch up with or even surpass traditional games in terms of game quality. Compared to Bigtime, Mirandus It has a more reliable technical background, an open and co-governed community, higher novice friendliness and a healthier game ecology! Combined with the early stage of the project and the low market value of $MTRM, it deserves our focus!
