Years ago, I wrote an “choose your own path” adventure game for iOS called Plot Theft Awesome 5. It never set the world alight, but it was fun, and the engine behind it was highly customisable. Over the years, I have rewritten it a couple of times, and now it is getting into the 21st Century.
I am currently working on integrating it with Unity in an attempt to bring it to as many platforms as simply as possible. Using Unity means I can plug it into the Solana crypto ecosystem and implement some of the features I have always wanted to add.
These are
- First is NFTs. Say you are playing a fighting game and not getting very far. Buy a sword and level your character up. Use the same sword in multiple games. When you have finished, sell it on a marketplace.
- The second is buying games. As the games themselves are fairly simple, there is no reason why you can’t buy a game as an NFT. If it is in your wallet, then you can download the game files and play them. Once you have finished, you could even resell the game. People can write their own game, upload it and get royalties from sales.
- Store your character online as an NFT. One of the features is that you can define a character and have it as the hero of the game. This character NFT would be where things like achievements are stored.
Ideally, my timeline is as follows
Finish Engine Mods (85% done)
Get a playable version on itch.Io
Design a web store
Release the game editor
Work on community building
Run a competition to get some initial games
???
Profit
Now I just need some help and some money to do this.
