The game
The Steem community grows over time. We believe there are some gamers too. What if we could host Steemian-only game server to compete and socialise? The game where whales and minnows are equal and everyone can earn some Steem/SBD just by playing, hmm?
Here is where we start. came up with an idea to resurrect old Ogame-like server. The open source browsergame framework he use is 2Moons. is the second member of the team. They both take care of SteemNova project.
The server started week ago. It is a test if engine works good and everying is stable. Steem #polish community were invited to play as testers. Also https://www.wykop.pl/ community was informed about the concept. For today we have ~50 active players.
Open-sourced
Full source code is placed at https://github.com/steemnova/steemnova repository. It is fork of https://github.com/jkroepke/2Moons for Steem community purposes. By our point of view SteemNova repository is the center of the game. We will give the opportunity to change the game code by Steemians, most probably https://utopian.io/ as a contribution. There are many things to modify starting from graphics, languages, code improvements up to Steem integration and bughunting.
Steem blockchain integration
For now SteemNova is not integrated with Steem in any way.
Our goal is to limit playerbase to Steem users only (right now anyone can register). Maybe with some restrictions eg. required reputation level. This is necessary to eliminate bots. Will we use memo verification or steemconnectv2 framework is still a question.
Players rewards
In our vision best players will be rewarded in Steem/SBD tokens as they play. Probably the "weekly pot" will be distributed to top Alliances in the game in fair way.
Teaming and socialising is the key to be rewarded.
The prize pool will come from account and its Steem Power. Would be glad to get some help from Steem whales as delegation, especially in the beginning phase of this project.
Players can additionally earn some Steem just by blogging. Everything related to the game can be story-telled:
Storytelling
Combat reports
War declarations
Diplomacy
Trading
The community decides about the payment of authored post by upvotes.
