Gamedev here. My current game is almost done, releasing on Xbox One and Steam later this year. After it's done I need a new project.

I'm thinking of making something like Runescape but the in game currency would be crypto. Ideally I would integrate the wallet into the game client, this means the fees have to be low. Dogecoin seems to make sense but I'm open to others. The other option would be to create a new blockchain, fork something.

Ideas? Also, anybody interested in helping?

You should think about the game economics really, really thoroughly. I assume the player should be able to earn the coins from ingame activities? In that case the crypto should be earnable through other means than just mining. Maybe a smart contract that creates the money on certain conditions and burnes it through others? This way you could fe. take the auction fee cut to your own pocket and burn the money used on miscellannious items/things in the game and keep the value up.

Using BAT would be cool because it's already going to be a web browser currency. It's going to be heavily connected to Twitch as well, since you can donate to Twitch streamers individually.

It'd be pretty cool to be able to donate the in-game currency to people playing the game, while watching them play on Twitch.tv. Just a thought.

look into enjincoin it's made for that goal specifically if I'm not mistaken. Don't listen to those turtle fags and other retards they're just shilling their bags instinctively because that's all the pajeets are capable of. + it's integrated with unity

I was thinking about a game with crypto too not so long ago, but because I'm a lazy faggot nothing came out of that. Something like mmorpg but all the items are traded between the users as well as different mineable resources. That would be dope, a video game with real economics there you could make some real money by mining and crafting shit and trading with other players.

I dont think bitcoin is fit for microtransactions like that. If he aims for a game like runescape it will be a ton of very small transactions which would spam the blockchain no to mention that he may want to setup a pool to give out rewards for quests which in turn is the mechanism to get the currency into the game and is fed by fees fron ingame transactions and outside funding

Checked. Good luck with the sales (marketing and product purchases). The gamedev world seems killer. You get a prototype up, generate some hype, keep it going while you complete the product, and then launch -- and at that point it's a coin toss whether or not people are gonna buy. There's no pivoting like with SaaS et al. A whole year can be thrown down the trash just like that.

If you're looking at deving with crypto, I've had good experiences with ETH. Smart contracts are a really convenient way to abstract away the logic. If you know any of the webdev stack, smart contracts are to crypto, like Django is to backends. In your case, running your own private ETH blockchain for the game would make the most sense. Transaction costs on other's networks will quickly eat into your net, and the lack of total control over your tech could become a nightmare.

If you know how to manage a project, I can chip in some of my programming time.

1. Make your own fucking crypto, not that hard.
2. use a shitcoin without volume (nobody will care about it), and it will be hard to get people to buy it or trade it for other coins
3. use Lightning Network and get all the retards to buy stuff on your game because they are testing it.
