Koinos Group is excited to announce a new collaboration with Royal Reptile Studios, developers of a game which I am sure many of you are already familiar with; Psyber-X! You can view their announcement, here.
RRS's vision is to use their games to expose as many people to the blockchain as possible which is why they view HIVE as their homebase. But as they have demonstrated with their Avalanche and Ethereum integrations, they are always looking for new ways to improve their product and expose more people to Psyber-X and HIVE.
We know how hard it is to work with blockchain technology and we’re here to make it infinitely easier. That’s why we built Koinos and that’s why we’re building products like Koinos Pro; to help developers like RRS take advantage of this technology we love. Understanding their challenges and working with them to build solutions will give us invaluable product feedback that will make our products better and help accelerate development for our partners, like RRS. This, in turn, will deliver value back into the HIVE ecosystem by exposing more users to the platform.
Gaming & Web3
This collaboration reflects Koinos Group’s strong commitment to making it as easy as possible for game developers to integrate Web3 while maintaining a Web2 user experience. We believe that Koinos is uniquely suited to benefit game developers, and by targeting this customer base, we can better serve our mission to maximize blockchain accessibility.
Splinterlands, another awesome HIVE-based game, has demonstrated how gaming is the perfect way to get blockchain technology into as many people’s hands as possible. It provides an engaging and interactive medium through which users can experience the benefits of blockchain, often without even realizing it. Koinos allows for games with such frictionless blockchain integration that players wouldn’t even need to know they were using a blockchain, thus creating an accessible and enjoyable experience for all.
Together, Koinos Group and Royal Reptile Studios will work on utilizing the unique properties of the Koinos blockchain to address the omni-chain integration challenges present in PsyberX.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership, as we work together to revolutionize the gaming industry through the power of blockchain technology.
So is it not going to be a Hive game? Or is it also going to be a Hive game?
Kind of wondering the same thing...

Tied to Hive, how? Not much of an answer there.
They're not mutually exclusive. They currently use hive-engine and they will also leverage Koinos to take advantage of its unique features like free accounts and free-to-use smart contracts
I've updated the post to better explain how this integration benefits HIVE.
Consumer would have to open at least two separate accounts to access all features?
I cannot access this game unless I fire up a Koinos account at some point?
No. Koinos allows for blockchain integration without requiring users to create an account or acquire tokens.
This space is so confusing, Andrew. Several more questions come to mind but I think I'll go back into silent, wait and see mode.
Good seeing you around though. Peace!
