SteemNova - OGame-based browsergame for Steemians

in #steemnova7 years ago

The game

The Steem community grows over time. We believe there are some gamers too. What if we could host Steemian-only game server to compete and socialise? The game where whales and minnows are equal and everyone can earn some Steem/SBD just by playing, hmm?

Here is where we start. @fervi came up with an idea to resurrect old Ogame-like server. The open source browsergame framework he use is 2Moons. @mys is the second member of the team. They both take care of SteemNova project.

The server started week ago. It is a test if engine works good and everying is stable. Steem #polish community were invited to play as testers. Also Wykop.pl community was informed about the concept. For today we have ~50 active players.

Open-sourced

Full source code is placed at github.com/steemnova/steemnova repository. It is fork of jkroepke/2Moons for Steem community purposes. By our point of view SteemNova repository is the center of the game. We will give the opportunity to change the game code by Steemians, most probably Utopians as a contribution. There are many things to modify starting from graphics, languages, code improvements up to Steem integration and bughunting.

Steem blockchain integration

For now SteemNova is not integrated with Steem in any way.

Our goal is to limit playerbase to Steem users only (right now anyone can register). Maybe with some restrictions eg. required reputation level. This is necessary to eliminate bots. Will we use memo verification or steemconnectv2 framework is still a question.

Players rewards

In our vision best players will be rewarded in Steem/SBD tokens as they play. Probably the "weekly pot" will be distributed to top Alliances in the game in fair way.

Teaming and socialising is the key to be rewarded.

The prize pool will come from @steemnova account and its Steem Power. Would be glad to get some help from Steem whales as delegation, especially in the beginning phase of this project.

Players can additionally earn some Steem just by blogging. Everything related to the game can be story-telled:

  • Storytelling
  • Combat reports
  • War declarations
  • Diplomacy
  • Trading

The community decides about the payment of authored post by upvotes.

#steemnova is our primary tag for above purposes

The team

Currently the SteemNova project is authored and maintained by @fervi and @mys. @fervi is server owner and game administrator. @mys has created github project and will maintain the code and Steem integration. They both own the keys to @steemnova account.

Playerbase consists of #polish community right now. By this announcement the game is open for anyone interested in play.

Roadmap

SteemNova expansion goes as follows:

  1. Reorganize github code. Specify README and LICENSE documentation. Fix any game issues if there will be any.
  2. Create SteemNova Board community on top of Steem blockchain.
  3. Game manual and tips & tricks for newbies.
  4. Specify detailed explanation how the reward system will work.
  5. Announce bug bounties, artwork contests and utopian-io task requests for contributors (mobile UI, visual bugs etc.).

This is my personal giveaway for players

I just sent resources too all who asked for them :) Enjoy!

That's great of you, thanks!

Received ! Thank you Robin Hood :-)

To fajny gest z Twojej strony:)

I will as soon as I figure out how to send messages, lol.

Check in statistics (barbarossastudio) or in the galaxy (1:1:x)

I'm a new player find me @Wildplanet

nice, cool idea.

Trying it out at the moment. Please make it enforce https :)

This could be really great if you could integrate the steem blockchain more than just by offering price pools to the best players. Maybe make steem the forum for the game, do something like @steempunksnet is doing.

maybe even get a Chainbb forum and then there will be some earnings from the posts going into the game account so it would fund itself

Or even use the events on the blockchain to trigger some events in the game for each user

We have this on the list ;)

I have a suggestion also..can we make old-school game like Gunbound concept?

@steemnova

4 vs 4 team
2 vs 2

1 vs 1

I never heard about that game :O It looks like Worms. Completely new to me.

Awesome interface! I just started playing and can't wait for the updates and integration of steem.

I think a nice good first Steemit integration would be:
An SteemNovaBattle account which posts at #SteemNovaBattles each time a battle is going to start "X sends y ships to z for a battle" it might contain some information about defence and chances of winning.
After 7 days it would then check who won and pay out the share of the rewards of the post to the winner of the battle.
(Might only announce close battles and not whale against minnows).

This is interesting idea. Doable by simple bot and would reward the winner.
Would mobilize players to interact each other.

If you'd use any of the materialize css/jquery libs you could make it look fresh in just under a day =D

Yeah it's easy and fast to code, and would also bring you some more attention.

Interesting innovation

Oh no. I was addicted to ogame about 10 years back. Shit. Oh no...

In addition - you should totally Utopian this.

Last note: if you set this up, and it works, and I get addicted again? I totally blame you. :P

The game is gonna to be reworked for our needs. Some old bugs occurs also :/
Totally Utopian-able :)
