AskSteem: What kind of games would you like to see on Steem? Why?

in #asksteem5 years ago

To continue with my "half-assed" asksteem posts and get some more discussions going, even though I realize Steemians aren't as active with this these these days I thought I'll just keep pushing more of them out for some time and you know, make the most out of the current economics until that may quickly change and certain curators go back to mainly curating. ;)

So with how Steem works, the blockchain that power social applications, and your past experiences of games, them being able to make use of the rewardpool, you being able to connect with other Steemians through them, etc, what kind of games do you believe would work well on Steem?

We've already seen some do pretty good such as Steem Monsters with their NFT concept of true ownership of the cards and being able to do what you want with them once they are yours such as sell them or rent them out. Other games that I guess were kind of cool but a bit oldschool such as drugwars and nextcolony, although they quickly get kind of boring I guess it's the classic beginner games of the "new internet" so to say.

Which games or games similar to others you enjoy on centralized platforms are you looking forward to see on Steem though and why do you think they would fit well in here?


Sort:  

Sidescrolling defense, something like Paladog or Lumberwhack
Easy on mobile, Hero starts on the left, mana fills up over time, tap a unit to generate that unit at your castle, at the cost of mana... Using existing Splinterlands resources would be fantastic.
It'd be a new way of dueling with our current cards :)

So random, love it. :D

As you know, I would like to have some FPS on here, even something rudimentary like the first instance of Ghost Recon with glitches cleaned up. The BC could register the replays for things like K/Ds and hit% and micro pay on those, take into considerations rankings, save replays and of course allow for betting and voting for bets where the game and players take a percentage. The entire game won't need to run on the blockchain because it is too slow at this point, but it could have key attributes that write onto it, or onto a side-chain. I reckon it would make for a pretty cool experience and open up a great deal of innovation.

Another nice thing about that is also that once your account is caught cheating that's it, and creating a new one will be harder and harder over time unless you're willing to pay for it.

Yep, screw hackers ;D

Monopoly. That would benefit from a high quality random number generator.

I think the sort of speed puzzle games would be pretty cool. Something like Bejeweled Blitz. In those games, they're free to play, have competitive leaderboards with your friends and boosts that cost money. So you can spend some Steem to buy boosts to help you get to the top of the leaderboard, make shitposts with your highscore, and the game owner could use some of their SP to upvote people's posts. Especially the people at the top of the leaderboard. Maybe at the end of the day top 3 spots of the leaderboard get a 100% upvote.

this would be amazing because i could use a game with attributes like this as a proof of brain mechanic that created other digital assets.... made a few blogs about this.

It's good question. We have excellent examples like Splinterlands or several gambling games. But we still haven't shooters or something like this. Far cry based on the top of Steem blockchain it can become great milestone for develers and Steem blockchain.

As a game developer and a user on STEEM these kinds of discussions are great. In my opinion STEEM could be used to replace most of the server side "cloud" API's to decentralize things like saved games, high-scores, achievements, etc. So any game could benefit. I'm going to be working on a game for this months Godot Wild Jam which should include some of my proof of concept STEEM Integration. As for what kind of games I would like to see... I think I would echo some of the other responses and say a good racing game or an FPS would be fun.

I actually programmed a working version of Cards Against Humanity. I used @smartasscards as the test account.

The @steemj wrapper I was using broke and I got quite discouraged... but I had even started making progress on an Android app.

CAH is the perfect game for Steem IMO because it's simple and social and if you make someone laugh they can tip you.

I like the beautiful picture of MengMeng! 😍 With some interesting fun story games! I think it's more eye-catching ... unfortunately, I haven't seen any here so far.😅thanks☺️

Fighting browser game like old Street Fighter with 16 bit graphic 🤩
We can add some additions like: level / statistic, short "dungeons" like in Little Fighter.
Why?
Becouse it's "simple, undemanding, funny to play"
👊
