Game development possibilities on Hive
Game development on Blockchain has always been a fascinating thing. The main reason is because people are able to use the features of blockchain to build their games. Gaming is mostly associated with rewards and fun. For the fun elements, the game mechanics would help but for the rewarding part, there is not much in the real-world game. Blockchain helps in rewarding a regular game and that's what makes blockchain games a special one.
People try to make use of these opportunities and build games on top of blockchain. WAX is one such blockchain that has so many games. Not just WAX but there are several other blockchains that have successful games. Splinterlands is one such successful game and it is on Hive. People think that Hive is a blogging platform but more than just a blogging platform, Hive is definitely a great platform to build games. The success of the game depends on the concept of the game and how it goes in line with how blockchain works. The rewarding possibilities are explored and fulfilled with the help of tokens and NFTs.
Making use of Hive or HBD or creating tokens on Hive Engine
Hive has so many game development possibilities mostly to do with reward. People can either choose Hive as their primary currency or HBD if they prefer to have a stable cryptocurrency or create their own token on Hive Engine. The founder of the game will have complete control over the game and the game assets and will be able to plan the tokenomics really well. The game developers can also make the players spend their real-world money to purchase Hive assets and play with those assets. There are a few games on Hive already providing that facility.
Creating their own token is always considered to be the best approach because they can define their own tokenomics and how the token has to work. Things can be a little challenging if Hive or HBD has to be reused. Some people don't like Hive Engine and that's one of the reasons why they want to have the game dependent on the first layer token instead of a second layer token that is not fully decentralized like the first layer.
NFTs on Hive Engine
Hive Engine actually created a lot of possibilities for game developers. The early game developers who built their successful games on Hive paved the way for newer games to be built here. They came up with a nice concept and those concepts gradually started becoming a foundation for any new developers. NFTs are something that comes with a facility to hold some data on it. That's what makes it unique and we can even create unique NFTs based on the need. This way people can build games and make use of NFTs inside the game either as game assets or to share some perks with the players. Hive Engine has this facility to create NFTs.
The token and NFT distribution can be planned very well and can become a possibility with the help of Hive Engine. The developers also have the flexibility to change the properties of an NFT based on how the game mechanics have to work. This is one of the biggest features we get with NFTs and that's what makes blockchain games more special. The rewarding experience is also very good with NFTs and tokens. If the concept of supply and sink is planned very well, the game would be going very well. People will not only be able to have some fun playing the game but also earn by playing games.
