Introducing Vaionex Gaming
Video games have captivated the attention of generations from the early arcade games to the modern first and third person shooters produced by professional studios. As a result the companies that produced these games often generated massive profits shortly after a new release.
Nowadays, the popular monetization model is to let users download the game for free and charge for season passes that give extra in-game rewards. This will continue and evolve as game developers earn more money from a more engaged audience.
There will be a full integration with blockchain technology to unlock in-game payments from your friends and other types of incentive such as NFT items compatible with each game.
There is a clear demand for blockchain integrated gaming that can be seen in the immense popularity of early implementations such as CryptoKitties and Axie Infinity.
Gamers have now come to expect a certain level of quality in the games they play, so why spend money on game development when there can be a lightweight payment overlay to integrate games that already have a large user base with Bitcoin SV.
We are thrilled to announce our launch into gaming on BSV under our new branch, Vaionex Gaming. Our intention is to integrate Bitcoin into many of the most popular games and make game development easier with our soon to be released Unity plugins.
You can try out some of our initial game demos at https://www.relysia.com/demo.
The launch of a game called “The Aviator” created over 2.8 million transactions on the day it was released.
The spike in daily transactions was the day we released the game and held an incentivised competition where the player with the highest score was rewarded with some bitcoin. We found that the Relysia APIs were very stable throughout this extreme usage, so we have decided to expand our gaming integrations.
Counterstrike Integration
For those who don’t know, Counterstrike is a widely successful PC shooter that has amassed millions of players.
The game pits two teams — Terrorists and Counter Terrorists — against each other in different objective-based game modes. The most common game modes involve the Terrorists planting a bomb while Counter Terrorists attempt to stop them.
With two developers and the Relysia blockchain APIs, we developed a blockchain integrated CounterStrike gaming server that is now available.
Play to Earn
Players are rewarded $0.01 per kill they get in-game. The more you play, the more satoshis you stack up. In our beta version, good players can earn up to $0.2 per game. After 10 in-form games that could be $2.00, just for playing Counterstrike.
Game Notifications
After each kill, you will instantly receive a payment of $0.01 to your Relysia wallet. You also get an in-game notification telling you that you got paid, as seen in the image below:
How to get started
Download CounterStrike for free via Steam and start the game up. Once you are in the server you will need to set your username to your paymail address number otherwise you won’t receive any payments.
For example, if your paymail address is 5200@relysia.com, your Steam/CSGO username should be 5200.
To change your username just go to the CSGO main menu and click the profile image in the top right corner:
You will see the “Edit community profile” button which will take you to the form where you can change your username.
