A New Game Meant to Work off the Steemit Blockchain WIP


For the past few weeks, my father @jonny-clearwater and I have been working on a 2d shoot-em-up, for a steem blockchain integrated arcade.

Gameplay

The game acts as a relatively simple 2d top-down scrolling shooter, in which the player takes control of a caveman running through a prehistoric environment while throwing rocks at a variety of dinosaurs. With each loop of the scene, the caveman begins to run faster, and the enemies grow stronger. The point of the game is to collect power-ups and accumulate as great a score as you can.


Development

I am the sole programmer on the team, developing the game on the Unity engine with the C# language. My father, @jonny-clearwater, is the designer. We are also working with a few artists, including @arepazo and @eqko.

Example of the global manager, currently used for in-game events and global variables, as well as for testing various game-aspects in a debug like state.


Development of the standalone game is near completion, with most of future development focusing on adding in the UI and custom fonts. After that, all of the development will be centered on incorporating this, and many other arcade-like games, into the Steem Blockchain.


How Will This Game Use the Steemit Blockchain
We're currently working on this game to test the creation of an online arcade we've built, hosting many small games with their code and data stored throughout the blockchain. Players will be able to purchase game credits using steem/SBD, with a chance to win weekly prizes for top ranking scores. I am so very excited to soon be able to present all of this to you, Steemians.
