Off the Grid 的电动首秀强调良好的游戏玩法，将区块链元素作为附加功能，可能是制胜之举

Off The Grid 是一款带有区块链元素的大逃杀射击游戏，首次以电子方式亮相，玩家在第一个月就拥有 912 万个钱包和超过 1 亿笔交易。

Off The Grid, a battle royale shooting game infused with a touch of blockchain, had a stellar debut, boasting 9.12 million wallets created and over 100 million transactions in its first month.

Off The Grid 是一款融入了区块链元素的大逃杀射击游戏，首次亮相就表现出色，上线第一个月就创建了 912 万个钱包，交易量超过 1 亿笔。

However, Off The Grid's integration of blockchain is more like an optional add-on than a core element. Its graphics and gameplay don't run on-chain, and its NFT in-game items are opt-in. The game plans to launch a marketplace where items can be traded on Gunz, an Avalanche subnet. A to-be-launched GUN token will be the in-game currency for purchasing items and skins.

然而，Off The Grid 对区块链的整合更像是一个可选的附加组件，而不是核心元素。它的图形和游戏玩法不在链上运行，并且它的 NFT 游戏内物品是选择性加入的。该游戏计划推出一个可以在 Avalanche 子网 Gunz 上交易物品的市场。即将推出的 GUN 代币将作为购买物品和皮肤的游戏内货币。

Its success物語 demonstrates that prioritizing good gameplay, with blockchain elements serving as an addition that enhances the experience for those who want it, can be a winning strategy. It helped Gunzilla Games, the studio behind Off The Grid, secure backing from VanEck, adding to the $517 million in Q3 funding raised by gaming startups.

它的成功物语表明，优先考虑良好的游戏玩法，并添加区块链元素来增强那些想要它的人的体验，可能是一种制胜策略。它帮助 Off The Grid 背后的工作室 Gunzilla Games 获得了 VanEck 的支持，为游戏初创公司筹集的第三季度资金增加了 5.17 亿美元。

Some of the industry's high-profile games, like World of Dyspians or the new Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles by Assassins Creed developer Ubisoft, also follow this formula.

一些业内备受瞩目的游戏，例如《World of Dyspians》或《刺客信条》开发商育碧的新《Champions Tactics：Grimoria Chronicles》，也遵循此公式。

Many gamers hate blockchain anyway

无论如何，许多游戏玩家讨厌区块链

Many gamers are deeply suspicious of extractive game developers employing NFTs, meaning gaming firms may be best off distancing themselves from the blockchain label but slowly letting their players dip their toes in.

许多游戏玩家对使用 NFT 的榨取式游戏开发商深感怀疑，这意味着游戏公司最好远离区块链标签，但慢慢让玩家涉足。

Gamers are still pissed about their game [graphic] cards being used to mine Bitcoin and Ethereum back in the day, and they've never forgiven the blockchain people, Viktoriya Hying, co-founder of Base layer-3 gaming chain B3, tells Magazine.

Base-layer-3 游戏链 B3 联合创始人 Viktoriya Hying 告诉杂志，游戏玩家仍然对他们的游戏[显卡]卡被用来开采比特币和以太坊感到愤怒，他们永远不会原谅区块链人。 。

Every time any big publisher said they're going to try something in blockchain, all their fans revolted against them, and they were shitposting on Discord to shut down the entire initiative.

每当任何大型出版商表示他们将在区块链中尝试一些东西时，他们所有的粉丝都会反抗他们，他们会在 Discord 上发帖以关闭整个计划。

Several blockchain and gaming firms tell Magazine that the key to onboarding a mass wave of gamers onto Web3 is to make blockchain itself invisible.

几家区块链和游戏公司告诉杂志，让大量游戏玩家加入 Web3 的关键是让区块链本身变得不可见。

If you have to jump through a bunch of hoops and install a weird wallet and set up a seed phrase, people are going to bounce […] Attention is incredibly scarce, and people have unlimited options for how to spend their time and what games to play, Amitt Mahajan, founder of blockchain game studio Proof of Play, tells Magazine.

如果你必须跳过一堆圈子并安装一个奇怪的钱包并设置一个助记词，人们就会反弹[...]注意力非常稀缺，人们对于如何度过时间和玩什么游戏有无限的选择区块链游戏工作室 Proof of Play 的创始人 Amitt Mahajan 告诉杂志。

Anthony Palma, gaming partnerships lead at Sui blockchain developer Mysten Labs, shares the same vision. He says the sweet spot for their sector is when their content is neither referred to as Web2 nor Web3 games, but simply games.

Sui 区块链开发商 Mysten Labs 的游戏合作伙伴负责人 Anthony Palma 也有同样的愿景。他表示，他们的行业的最佳点是他们的内容既不被称为 Web2 游戏，也不被称为 Web3 游戏，而只是游戏。

Blockchain is often an added extra anyway

无论如何，区块链通常是一个额外的东西

Aleksander Larsen, co-founder and chief operating officer of Sky Mavis—the developer of the Ronin blockchain—categorizes most blockchain-based games at present as Web2.5. Larsen's company created Axie Infinity, the most successful blockchain game to date, though its popularity has declined from its glory days.

Ronin 区块链开发商 Sky Mavis 的联合创始人兼首席运营官 Aleksander Larsen 将目前大多数基于区块链的游戏归类为 Web2.5。 Larsen 的公司创造了迄今为止最成功的区块链游戏 Axie Infinity，尽管其受欢迎程度已较辉煌时期有所下降。

Even when you look at games like Axie Infinity [] a lot of the transactions are actually off-chain, Larsen tells Magazine.

Larsen 告诉杂志，即使你看像 Axie Infinity 这样的游戏，很多交易实际上都是链下的。

For a game to be fully on-chain, it would typically require immense technical throughput, like scalability, speed and low cost. Plus, many competitive online games demand real-time computation or something close to it at the very least.

对于一款完全上链的游戏，通常需要巨大的技术吞吐量，例如可扩展性、速度和低成本。另外，许多竞争性在线游戏都需要实时计算或至少接近实时计算的能力。

We don't really have the technological advancements to put all of the data that we want on-chain. So, there's a lot of trade-offs that need to be done by the game developers that are building with blockchain tech, Sicco Naets, head of ecosystem development at the Moonbeam Foundation, tells Magazine.

我们确实没有技术进步来将我们想要的所有数据放在链上。 Moonbeam 基金会生态系统开发主管 Sicco Naets 告诉杂志，因此，使用区块链技术构建的游戏开发者需要做出很多权衡。

What blockchains are best for games?

哪些区块链最适合游戏？

With scaling as its north star, Solana was once seen as the frontrunner to host the blockchain worlds best games, but the chain has mostly been used for memecoins and decentralized finance—even if the recent Breakpoint did showcase some impressive looking titles, like Aurory and the long-awaited Star Atlas.

以扩展性为北极星，Solana 一度被视为举办区块链世界最佳游戏的领跑者，但该链主要用于模因币和去中心化金融——即使最近的 Breakpoint 确实展示了一些令人印象深刻的游戏，例如 Aurory 和期待已久的星图集。

Meanwhile, competitors like Sui have emerged. Based on the Move language developed by Facebook (now Meta) to scale its stablecoin project to the world, its theoretical throughput is placed near 300,000 per second. That's near real-time for modern applications, and if it can hit that in the real world, it'd be ideal for some competitive online multiplayer games, like shooter Bushi or multiplayer online battle arena Final Salvation.

与此同时，像隋这样的竞争对手也出现了。基于Facebook（现为Meta）开发的Move语言，将其稳定币项目扩展到全球，其理论吞吐量接近每秒30万。对于现代应用程序来说，这几乎是实时的，如果它能够在现实世界中实现这一点，那么它对于一些竞争性在线多人游戏来说将是理想的选择，例如射击游戏 Bushi 或多人在线战斗竞技场 Final Salvation。

Other blockchain platforms are making strides in the gaming sector.

其他区块链平台正在游戏领域取得长足进步。

Immutable X, utilizing ZK-rollups, stands out for its scalability and zero gas fees for trading or minting NFTs, making it a popular choice for game developers looking to incorporate blockchain without sacrificing user experience. Additionally, Avalanche distinguishes itself with its subnet architecture, allowing the creation of custom blockchains that can optimize performance for specific gaming requirements, like Gunz for Off The Grid.

Immutable X 利用 ZK-rollups，因其可扩展性和交易或铸造 NFT 的零 Gas 费而脱颖而出，使其成为寻求在不牺牲用户体验的情况下整合区块链的游戏开发者的热门选择。此外，Avalanche 以其子网架构而著称，允许创建自定义区块链，可以优化特定游戏要求的性能，例如 Off The Grid 的 Gunz。
