游戏一直是 Web3 从长达一年的寒冬中复苏的催化剂。

它也是大规模采用的关键力量。

然而,充分发挥 Web3 游戏潜力的过程充满了挑战,特别是在不牺牲去中心化和玩家赋权的核心原则的情况下无缝集成链上元素。

新用户应该只在必要时经历摩擦,并且尽可能晚。

大多数现有的 Web3 游戏并非如此。

从预先连接钱包到签署交易进行验证,用户在实际尝试游戏之前面临着多个障碍。

这些摩擦与完全链上游戏渴望实现的无缝且可访问的游戏世界的愿景形成鲜明对比。

《Axie Infinity》和《CryptoKitties》等游戏虽然具有开创性,但还没有完全上链。

完全链上游戏将所有游戏资产、机制和状态存储在区块链上。

这种激进的方法确保了无与伦比的透明度、安全性和玩家控制,从而实现真正去中心化的游戏体验,让玩家拥有并塑造自己的数字命运。

打造最好的游戏需要将链上元素与传统游戏的丰富用户体验进行功能性、高效的组合。

将 Web3 游戏与 Web2 标准进行比较就像将苹果与橘子进行比较。

尽管服务的受众相似,但他们的要求、价值主张和范围却存在很大差异。

Web3 游戏旨在解决自上而下的模型、缺乏用户控制以及游戏公司的强力武装等古老问题。

只有通过实施替代模型、流程和原则才能实现这一目标,而不是通过模仿 Web2 中实现的结果。

我们甚至可以说,“参与”、“无缝”和“无麻烦”等术语将在这种背景下具有新的含义,并通过社区导向、真正的游戏价值和用户生成逻辑等其他方面得到增强。

因此,在构建Web3游戏时,最关键的要求是应对新的挑战,最好是采用符合自治和社区治理原则的创新技术和模型。

这是关于构建“自治世界”(AWs),这是 Lattice.xyz 创始人 Ludens 于 2022 年提出的概念,用于描述“具有区块链底层的世界”。

此外,新时代游戏必须培养和服务不断扩大的具有问题意识的游戏玩家社区。

那些寻求真正的解决方案来解决传统游戏中对他们不利的问题的人。

不仅仅是赏金猎人和转瞬即逝的利润贩子。

构建完全链上游戏

Ironically, titles like Axie Infinity and CryptoKitties, which served as pivotal catalysts in the evolution of blockchain gaming, weren’t fully on-chain. They were experimental, niche, and heavily crypto-centric, characterized by their clunky user interfaces. Despite opening up new avenues, they weren’t entirely Autonomous Worlds either. Users had little or no control over the rules and direction of the game, and only parts of the game states were on-chain.

Dark Forest was the first decentralized real-time strategy game, released in 2020. Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zkProofs), a cryptographic protocol, to create a “fog of war” in the gaming experience, this project set an example in building incomplete information games on-chain. For reference, think of games like poker, where players only see their hands and don’t know what cards others have.

The challenge Dark Forest tackled was maintaining a publicly accessible distributed ledger without compromising the confidentiality of players' strategies — a fundamental aspect in any strategic gameplay.

Using zkProofs, Dark Forest maintained gameplay integrity and player privacy on a blockchain. This approach solved the critical issue of revealing sensitive game states (e.g., planet locations or attack trajectories), which is easily manageable with centralized servers but very challenging in decentralized environments. Dark Forest's solution set a precedent for real-time strategy gaming on the blockchain, providing a blueprint for future on-chain game development.

They even sparked the proliferation of community-oriented, bottom-up AWs: Mithraeum, Citadel, ZkHunt, and so on. Loot Project was another interesting addition to this space, letting users permissionlessly expand the IP and spawning hundreds of games, lores, etc.

By putting everything on-chain — from game states (assets, actions, etc.) to logic (rules of introduction, mechanisms for in-game interactions, etc.), AWs unlock flexible and resilient digital realities where users come of their own.

Going beyond in-game asset ownership, they incentivize players to attach greater significance to their on-chain gaming activities. More importantly, on-chain logic provides gamers with a meaningful say in what’s legitimate and what’s not in the game-world.

This is a massive departure from the status quo, where end-users are mostly passive consumers, playing at the whims and mercy of corporate publishers. Rules and norms emerge via community consensus, not the arbitrary will of external entities. And they serve grassroots interests. Players can build, contribute, monetize, and participate in ways that are impossible in Web2 games.

AW 赋予玩家权力、融入游戏的本质让玩家产生了更强烈的掌控欲望。

他们更愿意寻找创造性的解决方案来解决问题并创建模组和插件以在游戏中建立完全独立的经济体。

这种参与性促进了与游戏更深入的联系,鼓励社区内的创造力、解决问题和协作。

例如,《黑暗森林》玩家构建了一系列机器人、插件和自定义客户端,可用于攀登排行榜。

展望未来,完全链上游戏的旅程并非没有挑战,但它所蕴藏的前景是巨大的。

通过重新定义数字领域的参与、所有权和控制,链上游戏有望提供更贴近现实世界互动和关系的体验。

这样做不仅增强了虚拟世界的丰富性,而且还为游戏建立了新的标准——真正身临其境、赋予玩家权力并反映玩家的愿望和抱负。

去中心化、玩家主权和社区协作的原则将成为指路明灯,将游戏的未来塑造成一个包容、民主和令人兴奋的数字前沿。
