DOGECOIN DOES GAMES BEST

Op-ed - Dogecoin Does Games Best
DOGECOIN GAMES
Dogecoin was only a newborn pup six months ago. A big congratulations to the Dogecoin community. The coin has come far in this short time.
It seems like an eternity. Such is the skewed nature of crypto-time. The space develops at such breakneck speed. It really needs its own calendar. Blink and you’ll miss it.
At the time of Dogecoin’s birth I wrote a tongue-in cheek little piece detailing what Dogecoin would have to do to succeed. This was based on the assumption that Dogecoin would have to follow exactly in Bitcoin’s footsteps. In hindsight this was a little misguided.
Dogecoin decided to blaze its own trail. At the core of its success is the ability to carve out a space for itself in niches. Among these are charitable giving and tipping.
At the time I wrote that Dogecoin would benefit from a SatoshiDICE clone. On-chain games act to drill the network. They provide necessary mining fees and incentives to secure the network. The call was answered very early with a few clones.
More recently Dogecoin, driven by its clique of passionate ‘shibes’, is finding another niche in the gaming space. This consists of gambling style gaming and video games.
Most notably:
Wheel of Doge:
Being 6-months old, Dogecoin is a little thin on good betting games. The few that are available look more like malware than games.
It seems that good design still eludes the Dogecoin community. Perhaps they have been too restricted by all the ugly, bright-coloured comic sans. I try not to let my comic-sans phobia affect my love for Dogecoin. But, dear reader, it is difficult.
So it was with joy that I discovered Wheel of Doge recently. I have become quite obsessed. It’s a fun little betting game with a low house edge. Best of all, it’s pleasing to the eye and fun to play.
With an emphasis on minimalism and aesthetics I often end up playing all night.
At the same time it does still pay homage to all the things that the Dogecoin community has come to embrace. It’s the attention to detail that gets you: the fun sounds and subtle moonscape background.
It’s certainly a quantum leap in the Dogecoin gaming space to-date.
Cliffhorse:
I know exactly who Notch is. I have a brother who lives and breathes Minecraft. My brother maintains emphatically that notch is ‘the chosen one’.
I’m always quick to point out that if there can only be one, then it must surely be Satoshi. Hell, I’ve even been to Minecon. It’s the only non-crypto conference I’ve attended in recent years. It was also equally thin on females…sigh.
When Notch announced his newest release, Cliffhorse, would be available in pre-release via Dogecoin payment, I was quick to notify my brother of this holy union.
Of course, as Notch notes: “The entire thing is a joke.” That includes the game, which he says is “…about two hours of work in Unity, using standard and free assets.” This works perfectly with Dogecoin, which also started life as a joke on Twitter.
As Notch notes, “maybe being a joke is ok?” Dogecoin certainly became something more. The future of Cliffhorse will be interesting. Especially considering Notche’s standing in the gaming community.
Considering both Notch and Satoshi are contenders for the title of ‘God’, this marriage of crypto and gaming makes perfect sense.
VoidSpace:
VoidSpace is set in a world called The Void. It is in the top-down style and you are playing with thousands of other players worldwide.
The game is very much in Alpha still, but upon release they aim to use Dogecoin transactions to pay players for goods and services. This means that players will be able to make real money by starting their own in-game businesses: a truly exciting paradigm.
The world of VoidSpace is vast and untouched, with nothing but raw natural resources. Like Minecraft, players will need to create their own infrastructure to survive. Exploring the world can yield valuable resources that are used to construct inventions that improve your lifestyle in the game. Banding up with other players offers benefits. Player created societies are a big part of VoidSpace.

dogecoin做游戏最好

专栏文章--Dogecoin最适合做游戏
狗币游戏
6个月前,Dogecoin还只是一只新生的小狗。向Dogecoin社区表示热烈的祝贺。该币在这么短的时间内已经走了很远。
这似乎是一个永恒的过程。这就是加密货币时间的歪曲性质。这个空间以如此快的速度发展。它真的需要自己的日历。眨眼,你就会错过它。
在Dogecoin诞生的时候,我写了一篇口无遮拦的小文章,详细介绍了Dogecoin要想成功必须要做的事情。这是基于这样的假设:Dogecoin将不得不完全跟随比特币的脚步。事后看来,这有点被误导了。
Dogecoin决定开辟自己的道路。其成功的核心是能够在利基市场中为自己开辟出一个空间。其中包括慈善捐赠和小费。
当时我写道,Dogecoin将从SatoshiDICE的克隆中受益。链上游戏的作用是钻研网络。他们提供必要的采矿费和激励措施,以确保网络的安全。这个呼吁很早就得到了回应,有几个克隆币。
最近,Dogecoin在其热情的 "shibes "集团的推动下,正在游戏领域找到另一个利基。这包括赌博式游戏和视频游戏。
最值得注意的是。
转轮Doge。
作为6个月的历史,Dogecoin在好的博彩游戏方面有点薄弱。为数不多的游戏看起来更像是恶意软件,而不是游戏。
看来,好的设计仍然躲避着Dogecoin社区。也许他们已经被所有丑陋的、色彩鲜艳的漫画字体限制得太多了。我试着不让我的漫画无字体恐惧症影响我对Dogecoin的热爱。但是,亲爱的读者,这很难。
因此,最近我很高兴地发现了Wheel of Doge。我已经变得相当痴迷了。这是一个有趣的小博彩游戏,房子边缘很低。最重要的是,它赏心悦目,玩起来很有趣。
由于强调极简主义和美学,我经常会玩上一晚上。
同时,它仍然向Dogecoin社区已经接受的所有东西致敬。它对细节的关注让你:有趣的声音和微妙的月景背景。
这当然是迄今为止在Dogecoin游戏领域的一个质的飞跃。
Cliffhorse。
我很清楚诺奇是谁。我有一个兄弟,他生活和呼吸着Minecraft。我哥哥强调说,诺奇是 "被选中的人"。
我总是很快指出,如果只能有一个,那么肯定是中本聪。见鬼,我甚至去过MINECON。这是我近年来唯一参加的非加密货币会议。它也同样缺少女性......叹息。
当Notch宣布他的最新版本Cliffhorse将通过Dogecoin支付进行预发布时,我很快就通知我的兄弟这个神圣的联盟。
当然,正如诺奇指出的那样。"整个事情就是一个笑话"。这包括游戏,他说这是"......在Unity中大约两个小时的工作,使用标准和免费资产"。这与Dogecoin完美配合,Dogecoin也是以Twitter上的一个笑话开始的。
正如诺奇所指出的,"也许成为一个笑话就可以了?" Dogecoin当然成为了更多的东西。Cliffhorse的未来将是有趣的。特别是考虑到Notche在游戏界的地位。
考虑到诺奇和中本聪都是 "上帝 "称号的竞争者,这种加密货币和游戏的结合是非常合理的。
VoidSpace。
VoidSpace》的背景是一个名为 "虚空 "的世界。它是自上而下的风格,你将与全世界成千上万的其他玩家一起游戏。
该游戏仍处于Alpha阶段,但在发布时,他们的目标是使用Dogecoin交易来支付玩家的商品和服务。这意味着玩家将能够通过在游戏中开办自己的企业来赚取真正的钱:这是一个真正令人兴奋的范式。
VoidSpace的世界是广阔的,未被开发的,只有原始的自然资源。像《Minecraft》一样,玩家需要创建自己的基础设施来生存。探索世界可以获得宝贵的资源,用来建造发明,改善你在游戏中的生活方式。与其他玩家联合起来提供好处。玩家创建的社会是VoidSpace的一个重要组成部分。
