Game information

Briefly describe your project

The crypto-based gaming world of Pixel Dapps is where players can collaborate artistically with friends, gather pets for a battle, gather hero outfits to explore dungeons and take part in raids, and gather an army to position themselves as the master tactician.

Marma J Gaming is a community project that manages the pixeldapps ecosystem and helps to maintain the open-source code.

What is the USP (unique selling point) of your game?

All games within the MJG ecosystem are community-managed and driven, the games be managed by a DAO on NEAR for transparent decision-making and added security.

How does your game align with the NDC and Gaming WG KPIs?

NDC Charter: GamingDAO Charter - Google Docs

  • KPI 1: Onboarding gamers
    Marma J Gaming’s focus on play-to-earn blockchain games inherently encourages active engagement from new and existing players. Owning in-game NFTs and potentially earning cryptocurrency motivates players to interact with the games regularly, contributing to an increase in unique addresses interacting with the games each day.

  • KPI 2: In-game transactions
    The presence of a play-to-earn model again drives transactions within the games. Players buying, selling, and using NFTs and any potential token transactions related to the games contribute to this KPI. The level of alignment might depend on each game’s specific mechanics and economic design.

  • KPI 3: New Game Launches
    Marma J Gaming is working on a new idle game that will be launched on BOS and will use on-chain assets from across the ecosystem to add perks to player score. In the past we launched the following games:

  • Pixel Party

  • Pixel Pets

  • Crypto Heroes

  • Chain Team Tactics
    Each game is playable on mainnet

Previous Funding

NEAR integration

Will the games be NEAR exclusive, or is it planned to integrate other chains or a web2 version?
All games are NEAR exclusive for now, but being on the BOS will allow for web2 audiences to onboard relatively easily from any device and additions like Mintbase wallet login should allow for any user from any chain to get a wallet.
