Hive Games are kinda boring
Hive Games are kinda boring.
As someone who used to game 8 hours a day for several days in a row, I think I have a better good idea about what games are.
So Hive games are games no doubt, but they are more like mini games or idle games or like facebook (farmville) games where you just go in do something and then wait for X amount of hours x)
In theory there is nothing wrong with those kind of games. But we do also always talk about getting the masses involve and I don't think games we have here will do it.
It would have to be more competitive games and games not being behind a waiting-wall for more of the masses to join, if you ask me.
To answer the question "What are we doing wrong" well, not really anything :D Just different prespective I guess.
(I will make a disclaimer for Spliterlands since its massive in this space and have a lot of users, but Splinterlands is also just kinda a copy of Heartstone which already have had succes (I PERSONALLY find games like these boring))
I am currently playing Knightlands which is a Crypto RPG where you also have to wait a bit for things such as you life, energy and stamina, but its not bad at all and there is a lot to do! Its on Wax
Go to www.Knightlands.com to learn more. No Ref-link :c
Another game I am looking at on a daily basic is Mines of Dalarina! This is on BSC, but its in Alpha / On the Testnet, so its very unstable and it can be hard to login and play at the moment, but it looks soooo promising!
The coin is going to be the DAR coin.
Go to www.minesofdalarnia.com and see if you are lucky to play :p
Yay! 🤗

Definitely agree to an extent. Idle games were huge when they came out with Facebook, but I'm kind of just wondering why there's sort of a resurgence of them these last few years outside of being something easy to produce. Splinterlands is definitely a favorite of mine though and I'm excited to see how it evolves as it goes on.
I don't know a whole lot about Wax, but I'll have to check out knightlands.
Ye true!
Well, I am still into idle games, but its the "new" wave of idle games, where I have more to do in those games than any other Hive game, which is so funny xD
How to move in the dungeon in knightlands?
I find it a little bit confusing but game looks interesting:)
It costs energy, so you will have to have enough and you have to click on the "dark" areas to move and double click on areas where there are things
While I find Splinterlands fun, entertaining and enjoyable, I think that a game like League of Legends or Counter-Strike Global Offensive would be even better on the Hive blockchain. Imagine having skins as an NFT on the blockchain, like Splinterlands cards.
Yes excatly!
I'll be disagreeing with you regarding Splinterlands. It's the only crypto-game I actually like to play; there's a lot of strategy when you're playing, and it's fun to think about the game. I just won a game with my cheap-o cards against a 2900$ deck, for example.
Well, fine.
I think its boring x)
You talked about Knightlands; the site is currently offline (probably some random maintenance). How engaging is it to play? I'm looking for other (actually fun) games to play on the NFT world, but can't find any. Axie is boring to death and I couldn't imagine myself playing it in the long term, so no-no for me.
Knightlands is a crypro idle rpg ish, you are not engaging with other players yet. Dno why they are offline.
Hive does not have turing complete contracts, that is what we are doing wrong. Hive-Engine is not developer friendly and the smart contracts are extremely limited, and that was our best attempt at bringing smart contracts, this is another thing we are doing wrong.
Hive has only one function: store JSON formated data/text, and because of that there is no standard for apps to talk to each other, unlike Ethereum or any smart contract platform. There is no way to validate if the data someone posted is valid unless you have access to the centralized servers of the app that uses and validates this data. Developing for Hive is a nightmare.
Most of the apps running here are centralized because the logic runs on their servers. You want to interact with a “smart contract” you post text into this blockchain and the state of the game updates on their servers, on Ethereum if you “post text” that is invalid according to the smart contract logic it is discarded and you can verify in any node on the network, here you can’t verify if the JSON someone posted is valid for a certain app, you need to use the app API because the apps here are not decentralized.
Hive was not made to run logic, only to store data, and that makes it hard to turn it into a smart platform, and because it is not a smart platform it is hard to develop on it, and because it is hard to develop the games are boring
Ohh. That sucks x)
This comment of yours has clarified a few things for me. I understand that HIVE does not have a built-in function for Smart Contracts. Do you confirm that what I understand is right?
That is exactly it. It basically stores texts. The logic is done by the servers of the apps, so they are not really decentralized and do not really run on Hive.
Hive os only used to send messages when the user posts a text on the blockchain, then the server get the text and run it’s logic outside the blockchain.
This answer of yours is really interesting
AAA games take millions to develop, we are still super early in NFT Play2earn game space. Think back to mobile games at first. They were basic games mostly idle.
Back to webpage first games 99% were just HTML games much like hive has and 99% of NFT games
But there is a lot of Indie games now on steam and such with only 1 Dev and more content than any other Hive game x)
I am not talking like AAA games to Hive anytime soon :p
Thanks for this post! I see you put eight game logos in this post. Question: excluding Splinterlands and Town Star which I already play, what of the remaining 6 games would you recommend me to try?
Honestly. It was just a random picture I found xD
Posts with Pictures do better than posts without pictures xD
There are many people in prisons that have touchscreen cellphones. User attention is no problem. Only word by mouth needs to arrive.
As an ex gamer, would like to see fps games, or games that allow player movement like those of open world games.
What I see in hive is the same game style in repeat.
Yes, boring. I tried and looked into each one and couldnt get into it. I did not enjoy it.
Many gamers, in majority i opine, are more into games that will give them a challenge. Simply being paid is just a bonus and many will play a game that is fun to them rather it pays or not.
My suggestion is yo not focus too much in catching their eye by their love of money.
Money talk is boring to most.
I dont see why an already existed game cant be intergrated with the hive bblockchain.
Minecraft for example.
