Metaverse gaming is one of the hottest up-and-coming industries in crypto. But the sector is still searching for its break-out products. Two of those might be Metacade and Alien Worlds.
Want to learn why? Keep reading. We're breaking down everything that you need to know about these two up-and-coming projects and how they could flip the metaverse gaming industry on its head below.
Let's get started.
Before we dive into the specifics of Alien Worlds and Metacade, it's worth taking a moment to look at the potential for this industry as a whole.
The gaming market was valued at nearly $200 billion in 2021. There are also 3.24 billion gamers in the world. That's a massive amount of capital and users that have yet to be onboarded to the Web3 ecosystem.
For all of its growth, crypto is still a relatively niche industry. If it can successfully onboard billions of gamers across the planet, that could change very quickly. This is why projects like Metacade and Alien Worlds have such high ceilings, which we'll cover more in-depth in the following sections.
Metacade is the ultimate web3 community hub for gamers. You can think of it as a virtual arcade, where people can meet up with friends, play games, and even advance their careers. The developers have a community-centered vision that favors grassroots organisation and collective action over venture capitalists. All of this makes Metacade the world's first community-developed play to earn crypto arcade.
Speaking of play to earn, Metacade users will be able to earn $MCADE tokens by playing arcade games and participating in the community. This gives gamers the opportunity to make money doing what they would already be doing in their free time.
Metacade's unique design has it set to make a major splash in the metaverse gaming industry. Here are three reasons why.
Most GameFi projects today are strictly designed for playing games and nothing else. That can be effective, but it does limit the total addressable market for the project.
Metacade doesn't have this problem. It seeks to not just establish itself as a major player in GameFi, but also one that will help Web3 entrepreneurs and job-seekers connect with one another in mutually beneficial ways. This blend of work and play is one of the main factors that sets Metacade apart from other GameFi projects.
Many crypto projects are built around the premise of creating value for the venture capitalists who invest in them. Metacade is different. The Web3 community hub is built by the players for the players with metagrants, community-developed games, and more. That way, it never has to choose between its audience and investors.
It's also difficult to overstate just how valuable it is to be able to make money doing what you love. That's never been as easy to do as it is now.
But with Metacade, gamers will be able to earn $MCADE tokens completing a wide variety of games, tasks, and community-building activities, which they may have partaken in even if they weren't getting paid to do so.
Finally, Metacade brings hardcore and casual gamers together with playing opportunities for gamers of all goals and skill levels. Whether you're a casual gamer who just wants to hang out with friends casually online or you want to compete at the highest level, you can do it on Metacade.
Alien Worlds is a Sci-Fi Web3 game that lets players explore planets, mine for Trillium (the in-game currency), and earn rare NFTsby exploring and doing expeditions.
What makes it unique is the introduction of planetary DAOs. DAOs can be formed to purchase and manage each of the game's planets. This gives gamers a level of control and scale that can be difficult to find in other GameFi opportunities.
For example, a group of friends from Twitter can pool their funds together to purchase a planet and split the ownership. Then they can create content on the planet, such as games, community gathering places, and more to earn income from that investment.
The planetary DAO system that Alien Worlds has created is unique. It adds a layer of depth to the game that could be massive in the future.
For example, planetary DAOs may eventually be able to earn money by bringing other players to their planet with games, missions, and other incentives. This could turn Alien Worlds into a sandbox-type project that becomes a major hub for everything Web3 has to offer.
Another cool feature of Alien Worlds is its season-based gameplay. Its missions use the same model that Fortnite popularized. This involves delivering new and updated content every few months to keep the game fresh and interesting for years to come.
The benefit of season-based gameplay is that it gives players a reason to keep coming back to Alien Worlds because there will always be new content for them to explore. It also provides constantly evolving avenues to earn money through new games, NFTs, and more.
Finally, Alien Worlds is also a cross-chain project that can be accessed on Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, and Wax. This gives it the ability to generate a much larger pool of players than many other Web3.0 games.
The game's cross-chain functionality could help it become one of the biggest GameFi projects anywhere.
It's impossible to say which of these two game-changing Web3.0 games will do better in the long run. But if you're looking to get in on the ground floor, then Metacade is going to be the better option.
At the time of writing, Alien World's Trillium token already has a market cap of nearly $75 million. But Metacade's $MCADE token is having its first pre-sale in Q4 of 2022. Picking up some $MCADE during this presale could be the most cost-effective way to get in on the ground floor of a promising new GameFi project that's community-centric vision is built to last.
