It Was You.. is an intricate, multi-player, NFT storytelling game where players follow clues to solve the mystery of who is trying to destroy all life as we know it. Sometimes it's a Fiery Demon, sometimes it's a Maniacal Alien, and sometimes, it's you..
Characters have come through time and space to join together to stop these interplanetary magical monsters. Each player has basic starting stats of their chosen NFT Character, and they are based on four main spiritual paths - LOVE, SEER, DUTY, and LONER. Each Character starts with a unique area of four LOCATIONS, usually one being a Hospital, Bus Stop, or Airport, that are usable by all other players. As the hidden Villain gets closer to arriving, players must solve clues using their wits and skills to fight mighty MONSTER NFTs, to collect PUZZLE PIECE NFTs, and to find new WEAPONS, SPELLS, DEFENSE, MAGIC/ITEM NFTs.
My name is Kevin Fleenor and I am the creator and designer of this all-genre-encompassing, new genre of NFT game. Figuring out the statistics of the game, number of cards, if the attack and defense systems works, puzzle pieces and money ratios, were all figured out when I made It Was You.. into a board game.
The problem that I had, and you will totally understand, is that no one has the time to play board games, let alone own a board game with a zillion pieces and a cost of over $500 for the Starter Set! It's fun to roll a bunch of dice and then move a Character's likeness across a beautifully designed game board, but realistically, we don't have the time or money to physically play the game.
The solution? Let's make the It Was You.. board game into an NFT powerhouse on the HIVE blockchain. Simple, right? Yes, it is. The Characters, Puzzles, Story Cards, Action Cards, and hundreds of Monsters and Weapons are already designed. The game has been tested over and over again, and it works!
If you enjoy programming, and you want an incredible gift handed to you, you know where to find me. Of course, it would be even better if you were in Hollywood, CA, so we could put 3 tables together and set up the real It Was You.. board game!
so you are looking for developers?
I would suggest if you want to do a boardgame you use Unity or Unreal
Engine and there are no Hive Blockchain plugins for these game engines.
or you would have to do a HTML5 game with a ton of rest API's etc... and connect to Hive.
Also Hive does not have an NFT abilities. All the so called Hive NFT's are actually Hive-engine NFT's (Hive-engine is not Hive it a separate chain)
So not sure what you are looking for. Let me know.
Yes, I am looking for developers, but this is just the initial due diligence, so I have no idea what the future will hold for my game. I'd love for someone to come by Long Beach and actually play the physical version of the game. My family and friends love it. With a few players, it averages 10 to 12 hours per Villain.
Ah, I see! Unity and Unreal are the first thing that I discovered in my research, but I didn't know that the Hive blockchain doesn't use them. Thank you for quickly answering some of my next steps in this process. The game won't be very graphic heavy, more of a card battle style with a few different animations thrown in between encounters.
As far as the NFTs go, since that would be the money-maker, I would think that they could be like Splinterlands, where you can purchase 'cards' for the game, but they wouldn't have much value in the real world.
Thanks for your help!
Splinterlands uses Hive-Engine, they have a NFT smart contract already and a pack manager you could use. I don't use them for my own personal reasons but it would provide you with what you want.
NFT's and block chain connections is a very deep rabbit hole. With many different opinions of what is good and bad.
Outside of On-line I have been in the board game industry for just over 20 years. To get more play testers for your table top, try and use some of the virtual table top software and see if you can get more players to try it out.
Just suggestions off the top of my head.
