in SteemitCryptoAcademy3 years ago
i begin by thanking Cryptoacademy and Crypto professors for gradually making us well verse with the the various aspects of cryptocurrency , finance, trading and entertainment like gaming etc. Today I am writing homework task for @yohan2on , which is about blockcchain video games Let's begin:

Blockchain cuties universe. What’s all about Blockchain cuties universe?


Blockchain cuties universe is a blockchain based gaming platform which entertains us by allowing us to play various adventurous games. It is worth mentioning here that, we don't play only for the sake of fun or to kill time but we are also rewarded by playing these games. The rewards depends upon the number of blockchains tokems supported. As for the number of tokens , blockchain cuties universe supports multiple blockchains like Etherium, MATIC, TRON, EOS, NEO.

The adventurous games that we get to play on the platform involve numerous animal like cats, , puppies, lizards, bear , cubs etc . We get to perform different adventurous activities like making these creatures compete with each other , raise their level by improving their characteristics etc. Each creature like cats, lizard etc represent a non fungible token and we know that each NFT is unique and can be transfered or biught/sold like other crypro assets.

We will talk about the details of game later but as for the platform is concerned we need to mention about the native or the governance token of the the platform and that is BCUG (Blockchain Cuties Universe Governance). We know that the the role of governance token on any blockchain is to provide voting rights to the owners of these tokens and these voting rights may include the right to vote for progress or change in the working of platform etc.

As for i can check statistics of BCUG from coinmarketcap right now, its price is $1.47 and rank is 1348.

Under Enchant, we have different tool kits like regular, silver, gold tool kit. These tools are used to add or modifiy featurres to NFTs so as to add to their value .

Similarly, we have recycle, repair and fembuwimter that are anticipated to perform the function as per their name like recycling and repairing of items used .

Marketplace

We know in crypto market place, we have tokens for trade. Similarly here our tokens are represented by different creatures. So in market place we have NFTs of all the games like cats, lizards, pigs etc . The good thing is that these collectibles can be segregated into different categories like blockchain, generation, level etc.

Tournaments

This feature displays the contests that are going on or are coming. So cutes can participate in these contests and earn rewards. We can correlate it to the tournaments like cricket, football etc where winners are rewarded.

Special Sale

As name implies, in special sale we can buy cuties with special or rare features. Advantage of getting these cuties is that, the chances of winning tournaments or other contests are increased because these super rare characters give some advantage to these cuties over other cuties. But these cuties are expensive.

Achievements

Here achievements of an individual gamer are recorded like in this case my achievements will be shown under different subsections . The subcategorization of features makes it easy to find any type of achievement.


Positive and Negative sides of the game


Positive sides of game.

  • Multi Blockchain supported : Blockchain cuties universe supports 5 blockchains like TRON , ETH, MATIC, NEO, EOS. In this way , barrier to entry is reduced as users of multiple blockchains can participate.

  • Cost Effective : This platform has lower transaction fee as compared to other platforms.

  • Feature rich interface : We have seen the list of features and subcategories within each heading. Such a framework allows easy navigation of the platform.

  • Multiple incentives : in addition to the sale of NFTs, platform also provide staking option to provide liquidity and earn interest.

  • Low cost cuties : As seen above, i have purchased NFT worth 29 Tron which is very less amount to get started.

Negatives of the game.

  • No kick while playing. Players had to do nothing exciting than commanding cuties. It is a sort of passive adventure. Features that involve use of brain power could be added.

  • Cuties don't look like what they are supposed to. Like we see rabbit wearing hat and looking more like a kid than a rabbit.

  • Graphics of game could be improved to make it more carchy.


What’s your rating for the game on a scale of 5


I am not very fond of playing games but being an incentivised and easy to explore, i find it interesting. I would rate it as 3/5 .

Multiblockchain support, feature rich and ease of use are the areas that are good but no kick while playing, graphics need improvement.

Conclusion

With the boom in blockchain technology, it has started to seek its utility in diverse fields of life and entertainment bing one of them . The introduction of blockchain gaming has unfolded a new horizon of blockchain . Blockchain cuties universe is a classic example of a gaming platform based on blockchain technology. Incentivisation of the gamers lies at the heartt of the technology . The good thing is that progress within the entertainment field is terms of blockchain support is seen, like only Ethereum support on cryptokitties to multiple network support on blockchain cuties universe. The field is expected to rise and shine more as the technology advances and mass adoption takes place.
