游戲一直是 Web3 從長達一年的寒冬中復蘇的催化劑。

它也是大規(guī)模采用的關鍵力量。

然而，充分發(fā)揮 Web3 游戲潛力的過程充滿了挑戰(zhàn)，特別是在不犧牲去中心化和玩家賦權的核心原則的情況下無縫集成鏈上元素。

新用戶應該只在必要時經(jīng)歷摩擦，并且盡可能晚。

大多數(shù)現(xiàn)有的 Web3 游戲并非如此。

從預先連接錢包到簽署交易進行驗證，用戶在實際嘗試游戲之前面臨著多個障礙。

這些摩擦與完全鏈上游戲渴望實現(xiàn)的無縫且可訪問的游戲世界的愿景形成鮮明對比。

《Axie Infinity》和《CryptoKitties》等游戲雖然具有開創(chuàng)性，但還沒有完全上鏈。

這種激進的方法確保了無與倫比的透明度、安全性和玩家控制，從而實現(xiàn)真正去中心化的游戲體驗，讓玩家擁有并塑造自己的數(shù)字命運。

打造最好的游戲需要將鏈上元素與傳統(tǒng)游戲的豐富用戶體驗進行功能性、高效的組合。

將 Web3 游戲與 Web2 標準進行比較就像將蘋果與橘子進行比較。

盡管服務的受眾相似，但他們的要求、價值主張和范圍卻存在很大差異。

Web3 游戲旨在解決自上而下的模型、缺乏用戶控制以及游戲公司的強力武裝等古老問題。

只有通過實施替代模型、流程和原則才能實現(xiàn)這一目標，而不是通過模仿 Web2 中實現(xiàn)的結果。

我們甚至可以說，“參與”、“無縫”和“無麻煩”等術語將在這種背景下具有新的含義，并通過社區(qū)導向、真正的游戲價值和用戶生成邏輯等其他方面得到增強。

因此，在構建Web3游戲時，最關鍵的要求是應對新的挑戰(zhàn)，最好是采用符合自治和社區(qū)治理原則的創(chuàng)新技術和模型。

這是關于構建“自治世界”(AWs)，這是 Lattice.xyz 創(chuàng)始人 Ludens 于 2022 年提出的概念，用于描述“具有區(qū)塊鏈底層的世界”。

此外，新時代游戲必須培養(yǎng)和服務不斷擴大的具有問題意識的游戲玩家社區(qū)。

那些尋求真正的解決方案來解決傳統(tǒng)游戲中對他們不利的問題的人。

不僅僅是賞金獵人和轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的利潤販子。

構建完全鏈上游戲

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 賦予玩家權力、融入游戲的本質(zhì)讓玩家產(chǎn)生了更強烈的掌控欲望。

他們更愿意尋找創(chuàng)造性的解決方案來解決問題并創(chuàng)建模組和插件以在游戲中建立完全獨立的經(jīng)濟體。

這種參與性促進了與游戲更深入的聯(lián)系，鼓勵社區(qū)內(nèi)的創(chuàng)造力、解決問題和協(xié)作。

例如，《黑暗森林》玩家構建了一系列機器人、插件和自定義客戶端，可用于攀登排行榜。

展望未來，完全鏈上游戲的旅程并非沒有挑戰(zhàn)，但它所蘊藏的前景是巨大的。

通過重新定義數(shù)字領域的參與、所有權和控制，鏈上游戲有望提供更貼近現(xiàn)實世界互動和關系的體驗。

這樣做不僅增強了虛擬世界的豐富性，而且還為游戲建立了新的標準——真正身臨其境、賦予玩家權力并反映玩家的愿望和抱負。

去中心化、玩家主權和社區(qū)協(xié)作的原則將成為指路明燈，將游戲的未來塑造成一個包容、民主和令人興奮的數(shù)字前沿。
