Independent AAA game studio Gunzilla Games has launched GUNZ, a blockchain-based digital economy platform built on an Avalanche Subnet. The Subnet has been customized to allow for seamless gameplay, utilizing in-game tokens for gas fees, and providing an intuitive, rewarding user experience for both Web3 and traditional gamers.
Other gaming studios can leverage the GUNZ SDK and white-label components, such as a built-in companion app, marketplace, and NFT minting engine, to build and launch their own projects on GUNZ. GUNZ aims to offer verifiable transparency by giving players the option to get involved in Play-to-Own mechanics. The platform will first be integrated into Gunzilla Games’ upcoming Battle Royale 2.0 game, Off The Grid (OTG), which emphasizes storytelling and digital ownership.
GUNZ aims to be one of the first player-friendly crypto-economies in a AAA game, granting players complete ownership over their in-game items in the form of NFTs. The partnership between Gunzilla Games and Ava Labs, the main developer of Avalanche, is an example of gaming leaders recognizing the power of Avalanche Subnets to provide the best gaming experience.
According to Vlad Korolov, CEO and Co-Founder of Gunzilla Games, “By building GUNZ, we aim to revolutionize the gaming landscape with a transparent in-game asset management system by providing a number of market-standard features for game developers who are creating their economy on blockchain.”
Avalanche is a smart contracts platform that scales infinitely and regularly finalizes transactions in less than one second. Avalanche supports Subnets like Gunz, custom, app-specific blockchains allowing the network to scale nearly infinitely. The launch of GUNZ is an ambitious project that seeks to migrate the best of Web2 gaming to Web3 while delivering the top-tier quality gamers demand.
Gunzilla Games is an independent AAA developer working on next-generation Battle Royale games. The company was co-founded by Vlad Korolov, CEO, and Alexander Zoll, CSO, and the team features industry veterans from leading studios and publishers. Neill Blomkamp, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director, and producer, joined Gunzilla as Chief Visionary Officer.
GUNZ is an exciting development that could revolutionize the gaming industry, empowering players by granting them complete ownership over their in-game items in the form of NFTs. The innovative platform provides game developers with a transparent in-game asset management system, offering a range of market-standard features for creating their economy on blockchain. As other projects building on GUNZ are announced, the gaming community will be watching closely.
