Experimental, the company behind the incredibly successful strategy game that was built on blockchain called CryptoWars, are now going to be developing their game on Loom’s SDK. Blockchain-based games are vital to the sector as they are considered as one of the major catalysts for mass adoption of this new technology.

For CryptoWars, this move means that game assets, status and logic among others are all going to be stored on Loom’s dedicated blockchain. End users will also benefit from having full freedom and control of their in-game assets. Also, third-party app developers will contribute directly to the CryptoWars game through setting up customised quests.

CryptoWars is an exciting strategy game designed to let players do the following activities on the blockchain system:

• Create and customise their villages

• Form strategic alliances

• Set up an army

• Initiate war with rivals and take over specific realms

Before you build your army force and start fighting your rivals, you will first need to set up your civilization. New players start with one building in a vacant village. The development requires three main resources, including quantum dust, crystal and gold, which are obtained through raiding, trading or mining. Players will earn points for spending currency in research, defence and construction.

CryptoWars offers a unique view of the strategy gaming genre. For instance, in the war scenario, you will not have guaranteed or constant control of the warriors. Since every village will have their portals, you have not power over which army or enemy will come to your town. Likewise, every time your army goes into another realm, you cannot control what happens to them. In CryptoWars, the conflicts will be resolved using complex algorithms that evaluate both players’ defense and attack points.

Alliances allow players to monetize the game by charging fees for setting up and maintaining the coalition. They are also the best way of enjoying CryptoWars as you get to fight against other alliances, gain crucial resources and increase the chances of becoming the best conqueror.

The Loom Network comprises a dedicated platform for setting up Ethereum DPoS sidechains with an emphasis on social apps and games.

The developers of CryptoWars choose the Loom Network as it addresses most of the drawbacks that blockchain gaming developers experience today. Loom offers the following:

• Better security

• Faster transactions

• Straightforward UI/UX experience

• Proof of Play
