Nowadays, everyone would agree that the DeFi sector has absolutely exploded in terms of popularity and usage within the past few years. Just last year in fact, both the metaverse concept and NFTs similarly became increasingly mainstream and have since gained considerable traction and attention. However, one particular aspect that everyone should also be keeping an eye on is that of the gaming sector, as both the metaverse and non-fungible tokens are becoming very important in this field.
Gaming and the metaverse
Gaming has been a popular way to pass the time for several decades now. However, the world is always undergoing technological changes and scientific advancements, and it is therefore imperative that the gaming sector also evolve in order to keep up with the times. As such, there have been numerous metaverse-based gaming projects that have emerged as of late, and these include the likes of Axie Infinity (AXS) and The Sandbox (SAND).
One thing to keep in mind though is that as great as a particular game may be, players will still need some kind of incentive in order to keep playing. For the aforementioned Axie Infinity and The Sandbox for example, the main incentive is the P2E concept which allows players to earn an income as they play.
Now though, another aspect has been gaining attention regarding the world of metaverse-oriented gaming and that is the usage of AI (artificial intelligence).
Using AI with the metaverse
As aforementioned, our society is constantly evolving and the use of AI technologies is only going to become more popular as time progresses. This has ushered in a new era for gaming systems and that leads us to an initiative known as Metap. Based on their Twitter page, it is an online multiplayer metaverse game which utilizes the capabilities of AI and connects its players with one another in a manner that has perhaps never been done before.
The team’s mission is to build a leading NFT and GameFi ecosystem in the blockchain space that gives long-term value to its consumers while simultaneously using the metaverse concept’s enormous potential and limitless possibilities. To that end, a playable demo is expected soon which will feature all kinds of capabilities and features like staking and an NFT marketplace.
Are projects like Metap the future of metaverse-based gaming?
Metap is a AAA graphics-enhanced playable metaverse game with AI elements. It boasts a large-scale AI-oriented cloning procedure that will take place within the game. Players are also allowed to create and travel across AI-controlled worlds, and people from various other planets inside the metaverse can communicate, trade and build with each other as part of a growing community. The game shall also have a wide range of worlds and cities. There will additionally be many systems of governance in each of these worlds.
The Metap team is composed of industry professionals in the disciplines of game creation and blockchain development. Lastly, not only have $750K already been added to the game’s liquidity, but various partnerships with the likes of CoinSale, StarFi and Smaugsnft have also been established alongside listings on different exchanges which are expected to occur before long. Ultimately, it is safe to say that the gaming sector is evolving and that the metaverse alongside NFTs are going to play a vital role going forward. There is also no guarantee that any project will succeed in the long run but Metap is making a strong case for its long-term success nonetheless.
