Gamers who bought a Blankos Founder’s Pack are now able to join the private beta for the action party game Blankos Block Party. Players can join in different competitive party games or do some singleplayer challenges. An in-game store allows players to buy costumes and items for their otherwise naked Blankos character.
Blankos Block Party has been in development for quite some time. Mythical Games revealed their game for the first time in November 2018. Now, two years later, they are ready to let the first gamers have fun in their user generated world.
In the party game players can compete and have fun in all kinds of challenges, ranging from platforming and obstacle races to free-for-all or team-based shoot outs. Two type of in-game currencies can be used to buy items for the characters or collect more skins.
Frictionless NFT economy
Blankos Block Party focuses on user generated content, and it introduces a frictionless NFT economy. In October Play to Earn sat down with Rudy Koch and Cameron Thacker from Mythical Games to talk about game economies and the use of blockchain technology. According to them an NFT-based economy is the ‘next evolutionary step for the games industry’.
Through blockchain technology players get real ownership over the content they buy and create. As a result this creates legitimate secondary markets from players to trade. Soon Blankos Block Party will go into beta, and the team will slowly be scaling up. Before that will happen, they have plans to sell Founder’s Packs. “These items will be some of the rarest we will ever release”, Koch explained. “Based on our user projections for the full launch, we estimate about 1% of our users will own the Founder’s Pack items.”
The team at Mythical has build their dGoods system in such a way that NFTs can move across different chains. Because this way they want to make sure that the technology doesn’t limit the liquidity for players.
