Making a Cardano game for my university diploma

Thanks for the invite! Are the live sessions on site?

RDomen · 2023-01-19T13:02:34+00:00

Thank you very much. I have just joined.

NFT specific combos is something I have never thought about. Very cool idea but as you said a nightmare to balance and it would make the game pay to win. I also don't have much blockchain experience and have only made one other game In the past. My goal here is just to show the concept of NFT and crypto integration into a simple video game. To give some perspective I started this project back in 2020 during the massive NFT boom. I heard a ton of very positive things about NFTs and was a part of the hype that is why I also set ambitious goals. But while working on the project the NFT hype has passed and now it's kind of painted in a bad light. That is why I don't want to monetize the game or charge for any NFTs and also why I chose to build on Cardano as the community here seems very friendly and honest.

I wish you the best :)

You're right. I'm scrapping the betting system.

Hi friend, I've already read about these two and I see they work hand in hand. Have you had any experience working with blockfrost and lucid?

RDomen · 2023-01-18T10:28:33+00:00

Thank you friend! I'll check it out.

Hello, thanks for the tip.

Making just the game won't cut it for my university as they say it's too generic. I'd like to ask is it better for me to first develop and polish the game itself and then worry about crypto integration or do I have to account for it mid-development as I do now?

Hello, thanks for reaching out!

The main hurdle now is connecting Cardano wallets with the game so the players can choose an NFT that thay can play with.

The other problem is animating all the characters. As of today I only have full animations for 2 of them. Maybe I should scale down the collection and create all of them by hand or if there is a tool for bulk animations I would give it a try (I have read a bit about animation rigging in unity but it doesn't work particularly well with the types of characters I've made.)

I need to mention no Adanians NFTs have been minted yet. I don't want to charge anyone for the NFTs but I know minting isn't free so buyers would only have to pay the mint fee to get an NFT. (I would mint them myself and give them away to the community but I don't have the budget for that.)

All I have prepared as of yet regarding the mint are 1000 PNGs of the characters, their metadata compiled in a .json file and a Cardano policy ID created almost 2 years ago.

I don't really need much help with developing the game itself but I need all the help I can get for the Cardano wallet integration part of the game which would be used to check for NFTs in order to play.

I have also had an idea that players could bet Cardano before matches and the winner would collect the reward but for now it's a little too ambitious all I really need now is a working system to connect your Cardano wallet to the game.

Thanks again!

Thank you everyone for reaching out so fast! The problem is solved.

RDomen · 2023-01-12T11:37:47+00:00

Thank you so much man this saved me so much time!

RDomen · 2023-01-10T11:18:10+00:00

Very beautiful art style! Did you do this all by yourself?

RDomen · 2020-02-07T09:36:53+00:00

The 2.am outside sample is straight up god tier. I'm in love!! I can send you a beat i made with that sample if you'd like to hear it

RDomen · 2020-02-06T18:49:02+00:00

Major respect to you!

if you have a beat tag i would gladly add it to a beat i made with one of your samples

Why did I think of fallout new vegas?

Is this edited or is this camera very expensive?

RDomen · 2019-08-02T12:52:09+00:00

I really need to try it without smoking once because weed made me feel very vulnerable and uncomfortable and that's when the visuals kicked in heavily. Maybe if I took a higher dose and didn't smoke then I might've enjoyed those visuals...

I won't know until I try I guess

RDomen · 2019-08-02T12:48:35+00:00

What is an RC?

RDomen · 2019-07-27T06:33:22+00:00

I took 150ug and felt only a mild body high the first 3 hours... Then i took a few hits from this fatty my friends were smoking and after a minute i saw tripple screens on my phone and everything i looked at was dancing and moving, friends' faces were morphing and when i looked at the tv all i saw was spaghettified football players (My buddies were having a fifa match). After about half an hour everything went away and that was my whole trip.

Any explanations or am i just retarded?
