Detailed Analysis of Galaxy Blitz: Unveiling a Corner of Web 3.0 Gaming

The metaverse, a concept that countless people are discussing, stirs the imagination of the tech, capital, culture circles, and countless netizens with its sci-fi feel. As a star-level metaverse virtual reality game, Galaxy Blitz has attracted significant attention since its inception. As the release date approaches, the game's popularity continues to rise.

Meanwhile, another major announcement is presented to eager gamers: The Galaxy Blitz development team has announced that it has raised over $10 million and revealed details of the joint financing to build the game's financial ecosystem and features.

Star-level Metaverse Virtual Reality Game

Galaxy Blitz, designed and developed by the team behind Supercell's Clash of Clans, is a space-themed massive multiplayer online Play-To-Earn battle strategy and NFT game. Galaxy Blitz is the latest innovation in the GameFi industry, utilizing blockchain-driven NFTs and tokens to support a new generation of entertainment games and applications.

Some may still not fully understand the GameFi industry. GameFi, or blockchain gaming, refers to presenting financial products in a gaming format.

In traditional gaming, game accounts only grant players usage rights without ownership. When developers shut down game servers, virtual assets like skins and items can instantly become worthless. In contrast, the game rewards in blockchain games are crypto assets that can be freely bought and sold on-chain. In Galaxy Blitz, users play through digital identities, and all game resources, system tokens, and NFT items produced belong to the players themselves, not the game company. This is one of its major attractions, bringing it closer to the decentralized virtual reality games that many players truly expect.

In terms of story, worldview, and gameplay, Galaxy Blitz creates a brand new virtual metaverse: thousands of years later, Earth has developed colonies throughout the galaxy due to technological advancements. Humanity has evolved into four races after continuously absorbing foreign technologies: the High-Energy Physics Race, the Mechanical Race, Silicon-Based Lifeforms, and Plasma Beings. Players in Galaxy Blitz can embody these four races and compete for dominance in land and space warfare.

Players will be able to gain symbolic rewards through farming or "blitz" raids, as well as participate in an arms race across the galaxy. For pacifists, there are various PVE activities that generate rewards while providing captivating legends, storylines, and immersive experiences.

When discussing the upcoming launch event, co-founder Clement said, "We are all very excited about the upcoming Galaxy Blitz and are satisfied with the fundraising levels achieved so far. It is an honor to be part of such an innovation-driven team and to be part of the GameFi industry, which is truly at the forefront of entertainment and technology. We are committed to providing our users with the ultimate gaming and virtual world experience. We firmly believe that the release of Galaxy Blitz in the second quarter of 2022 is just the beginning."

As GameFi spans many parallel lines in the blockchain field, the $10 million investment in Galaxy Blitz is funded by multiple partners from different sectors, such as the Conflux Foundation, IoTex Foundation, and exchanges like Bitmart & Amplio Capital, Bybit, Gate.io, and Lbank. Other participants in the financing include incubators like EnjinStarter and NFTb, Nordic investment firm OIG Capital, Starter, North American PE firm BlackDragon Capital, and globally renowned YouTuber and former BTC KOL: MoonCarl.

GameFi: The New Frontier

Games are the embryonic form of the metaverse. However, traditional centralized games ultimately represent a model where "players work for game companies," which does not meet players' expectations for the metaverse. Additionally, traditional game virtual resources cannot be "monetized" and are at risk of loss, tampering, or theft, making the realization of decentralized metaverse games challenging.

Unlike traditional centralized games, GameFi (blockchain games) guarantees ownership of digital assets and provides market participants with fair gaming opportunities through its characteristics of "decentralization" and "tamper-resistance," combined with blockchain technology and gaming. It is set to become one of the key pillars that will fundamentally change the entire digital entertainment industry.

As a representative product of GameFi, Galaxy Blitz combines the GameFi trend with NFTs to create an unprecedented experience, allowing users to become part of an evolving ecosystem while enjoying a new and excellent gaming experience and reaping substantial rewards.

In Galaxy Blitz, players can sell virtual items like in-game props on cryptocurrency market trading platforms for real money. The dream of "playing games while earning money," which countless people had in their childhood, is expected to come true. Additionally, players can make key decisions about the future of the entire game ecosystem—this is fundamentally different from traditional games. It can be said that this decentralized gameplay will fundamentally change gaming and online entertainment.

From Newborn to Mainstream

As a new phenomenon in the gaming world, blockchain games are still relatively young. In terms of graphics, effects, and playability, they currently cannot compare to the crown jewel of the gaming industry—large-scale AAA games. However, based on advanced technology and model advantages, blockchain games may not take long to transition from new to mainstream, and Galaxy Blitz aims to create the first AAA blockchain game.

Take the star-level blockchain game Galaxy Blitz, for example. It has a large team composed of 70% developers, 20% designers, and 10% marketing and operations personnel. The members mainly come from Northern Europe, with many team members having notable game development experience. For instance, CTO Allen was the lead programmer for Clash of Clans at Finnish game company Supercell. Co-founder Diana has lived in Finland for many years, and when she first met Allen in Helsinki as an enthusiastic supporter of Web 3.0, the two hit it off.

Chief Designer Tutu has worked in the CG production team for Marvel's Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, as well as Pirates of the Caribbean. Strategic Planning Director Wheat was deeply involved in the development of Nintendo's renowned game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The team's original capabilities and the project's exquisite quality are highly competitive in the NFT market.

After disclosing the private placement, the Galaxy Blitz team also announced the upcoming NFT presale and IDO. At the same time, the Galaxy Blitz team claimed that NFTs will support AR technology, allowing all NFT items to be projected into real-world scenes through AR (Augmented Reality). The team gave us a vision: in the future, players' NFT items can be directly projected into the real world, merging reality and the virtual world through AR.

The Galaxy Blitz team also plans to integrate virtual reality (VR) into the game. Currently, most GameFi projects are simple remakes of classic farming, tower defense, or blind box games; however, the Galaxy Blitz team understands the value and importance of diverse gameplay and "fun," and is committed to creating an engaging game that users enjoy participating in. With the further development of VR technology, it will be able to support high-quality immersive experiences, allowing players to enjoy adventures in an "otherworld." This gaming experience will first be offered to mobile users, followed by the release of a PC version of the VR game component.

In addition, the digital economy of the Galaxy Blitz ecosystem is also being developed vigorously, which will run in parallel with the game in the future, providing incentives and rewards to attract more new users. Beyond functionality, the Galaxy Blitz team will collaborate with other environmentally conscious teams to explore tokenization-driven carbon neutrality practices through purchasing carbon credits and organizing collaborations.
