What is Steem Play?

It is a gallery of open sourced games designed to be housed in Steemit.com and other front-end websites running on the Steem Blockchain with the goal of using the blockchain (STEEM or SMT) to possibly reward gamers and developers in the future.

Updates as of December 2nd

Project Sponsorship was recently announced in Hive account@utopian-io and our Steem Play project is one of the first few that received direct delegation from Hive account@utopian-io itself. We give our thanks to Hive account@elear. This will help us reward contributors for this project even more.

If you want to be a Sponsor as well by delegating your SP to the project, simply go to this page and click on "Become a Sponsor".

This enabled Hive account@deveerei as the Project Owner to upvote a contribution to the Steem Play project with Hive account@steemplay.utp where the delegation is house.

What's Next?

Hive account@ruah is trying to make an extension to work with Steem Play so that we can add it to Steemit or other front end sites.

We're gonna work on the website soon. Maybe Hive account@ruah can just find a way to show the website within the extension.

Looking Towards the Future

I recently encountered this game maker called Stencyl. I will be trying it out real soon to create my very own game!

It's a good thing the free subscription allows you to make your games available through the web. However, wanting it to be on an Android or iOS requires further licensing and would require a $200 annual fee for using Stencyl.

Try This Game we Found

You can check out this website for more information: https://www.slant.co/topics/1933/viewpoints/13/_{open-source-games}dungeon-crawl-stone-soup. I have tried playing it and it looks fun! But I died quite a few times lol!

A roguelike adventure through dungeons filled with dangerous monsters in a quest to find the mystifyingly fabulous Orb of Zot. This is an Open Source game.

Thanks! See you on the next issue!
