Hey guys! I’m back again. So, for a while now we’ve talked about some projects that aim to revolutionize the world as we know it and make it a better place by bringing solutions to some of its problems. Okay, yeah… that’s cool and all but then I recently came across a totally exciting (and totally amazing) project that literally blew my mind and I’ve decided to share with you guys today.
What are we talking about here? Cryptocarz!
So, cryptocarz is to be a multiplayer virtual reality enabled gaming platform developed by Blockchain Studios to be built on the ethereum blockchain and players are going to be, as suggested by the name, riding superb and totally cool cars that we could only dream of in real life without the hassles that come with the real life ones (speed limits, body injuries etc.)
The cars are to be owned in the form of ERC721 tokens which are NFTs (non-fungible tokens) that represent real-life assets but in the form of digital tokens so users can just integrate their assets (cars with their specific modifications) from their private wallets into the platform and enjoy the gaming experience of their lives. Plus, as a result of their being on the blockchain, users can also be assured fully that their assets are completely safe and can’t be stolen or tampered with without their permission.
What makes this platform as amazing as I said it is? Let’s find out!
FEATURES OF CRPTOCARZ
Player numbers: the game could either be played in single or multiple player(s) modes thereby allowing the users to choose whether they want to compete or just cruise around and test their driving skill in that totally awesome totally cool car they just outfitted with new modifications (yeah, true. I’m going to be doing that a lot.)
Garage: owners of cars can have them repaired or modified; to be fitted with new engines, tires, bodies etc. or can buy off another user. The garage gives the potential buyer access to inspect the items they want to buy with an all-around view of the said items.
Multiple access points: the platform will be built for all kinds of devices basically grouped into two: the “light” and “heavy” version. The light version will be in 2D and can be played on personal computers, iOS devices, Android phones or tablets while the heavy version will be in 3D and VR-enabled and can be played on PlayStation, vive and the rest.
Rent a car: keeping in mind that not all users will have enough to buy a whole car with all of its modifications and features no matter how much they may want to or for those that may just want a feel of the gaming experience, a user can just decide to rent, for a certain amount of tokens, a car they fancy for a specified period of time after which the car will be returned to its original user.
Fast and furious racing: Yup! Just like the movie, users get to be able to race each other, under smart contracts, and the winner of the race gets the car (in the form of ERC721 tokens of course) of the other that lost the race automatically. No bias! No stories! Just a fair race!
FOUNDATIONS OF THE PLATFORM
The platform will be built on four basic foundations to give a total and wholesome gaming experience to users. These are:
i. Modelling: this is where the cars, their bodywork, parts and interior, the race tracks and the entire racing environment will be built.
ii. Animation effects: these are the close to real life effects that have been placed into their games such as crashes, road dust, exhaust smoke etc. that altogether makes gives gamers thrills, keeps the game more and more exciting and keeps the gamers coming back for more.
iii. Components: these are the spare parts that are going to be combinable with the user’s car(s) such as engines, tires, exhaust pipes etc.
iv. Marketplace: this is where the cars can be bought or sold. Initially, the cars will be sold on the crptocarz website using a metamask or ether plug-in for payment purposes but going further, dedicated marketplaces will be built and assigned for users to be able to buy and trade their cars to other users of the platform.
CONCLUSION
With an initial total of 20 car models to be built each with 650 units each translating to a total of 13,000 cars in all, Blockchain studios are set to have a lot of anxious buyers (like me) that just can’t wait to take their very own dream car out for a spin or race! (hehehe)
