AI Could Ruin Gaming Economy, The Voice Coach Battle, Axies: Web3 Gamer

AI Could Flood the Market: ArenaX Labs Co-Founder

Wei But he warns that this could also disrupt the entire gaming economy.

“AI creates a slightly more level playing field for small businesses or groups, giving them the ability to compete with larger companies with extensive resources. This could lead to a renaissance of indie games,” Xie told Web3 Gamer.

“In the future, smaller teams will be able to develop impressive games at lower costs and faster speeds. “This trend is clear and shows no signs of slowing down,” he added.

He argues that AI will “amplify the capabilities” gaming companies have to develop games, allowing for the “frictionless creation” of new characters and environments.

However, friction generally acts as a yardstick in the gaming economy and balances industry competition. Market balance is possible when resources are scarce and there is fair competition to create the best games, such as developers paying the highest price.

“Removing frictions that normally act as arbiters between competing forces and ensuring balance within the economy can create significant headwinds in economic design,” he says.

If AI makes everything too easy, we run the risk of flooding the market with too many games and oversupplying developers we no longer need.

“This is problematic in Web3 games, where the game is becoming financialized, because it can significantly distort the supply and demand curves,” he adds.

Another problem is that companies use off-the-shelf AI solutions to build games without understanding what’s going on inside.

“This can create interesting technical challenges that cannot be overcome, and can create hidden problems with using AI in a gaming context that only become apparent once the game is running live or distributed to an audience, making fixing difficult.” he explains.

ArenaX’s player-versus-player fighting game AI Arena claims to be the first game to integrate human and AI collaboration.

Xie describes it as a cross between the classic fighting game Super Smash Bros and Pokemon. The difference is that you can train a super smart AI character to play exactly the way you want.

“In the context of AI Arena, human players are training AI models to play the same games they play through a process called imitation learning. The AI ​​learns by demonstrating and observing the behavior of human players.”

Even if it’s not actually yours, it’s worth just looking at how it will cause our jobs to disappear in the next decade.

The game launched on May 1 and ran an airdrop contest that saw over 700,000 battles take place in just 9 days.

Crush your dreams at home. The Sandbox partners with The Voice.

Have you ever sat in The Voice’s swivel chair and wanted to fulfill or completely crush your dreams of becoming a singer on The Voice?

If you missed the singing competition, it’s The Voice, where contestants typically appear with a video of themselves working in a regular office, then take the stage, blow the room away, receive a standing ovation, and are judged by one or all four celebrity judges. This is where it hits. Sound the buzzer and turn your chair to get a first look at the person behind The Voice.

And a year later, most of the participants returned to the same office.

sounds fun? Now you can become a judge and watch new episodes of the TV series from the comfort of your own home without ever leaving The Sandbox metaverse.

In collaboration with Virtual Brand Group and ITV Studios, The Sandbox presents “The Voice Coach Battle,” which it says is a “Web3 gaming adventure.”

“Just like in the TV show, players must choose the music, select fantastic costumes and perfect stage lighting, and provide advice to the artists on each stage. Players will also have to take a quiz about real-life celebrity coaches from TV shows,” according to a recent statement.

So not only can you play the game, but you can also practice some very important life skills like mentoring, having difficult conversations (if you have a crappy singer), and artist management.

Each new episode of The Voice series also comes with a non-fungible token (NFT).

If you correctly predict which contestant will advance through the qualifying rounds on the NBC reality show each week, you’ll receive an exclusive NFT.

But that means you’ll have to sit down while you watch The Voice…

Hot Take: Duet Monster

At first, Duet Monsters may seem like a game for children due to its catchy musical tune and overall appearance. However, since it is a game where fruit falls from the sky, I was hooked for longer than I thought.

The alpha version of the mobile dual rhythm music game, released on May 9, is a collaboration between Sky Mavis, creator of the hit game Axie Infinity, and Cadenverse.

Simply put, you are responsible for handling two Axies, making sure they catch all the fruit that falls into their mouths.

We’ve covered 99% of the game now, but we’ll keep going.

The screen is divided into two parts. At first, you just have to focus on one Axie at a time and try to catch the fruit in its mouth on one side of the screen. But as you progress through the game, you’ll have to multitask and juggle both Axies at the same time.

Isn’t it easy? But it gets faster and faster and eventually both Axies will drop the fruit at the same time.

Every fruit you put in your mouth plays a note. So, as the intensity and stress of the game increases, you’ll also find yourself composing some clever tunes in the background.

If you have a Ronin Wallet and two Axie NFTs, you can earn up to 3,000 AXP and 20 SLP every day. Otherwise, you can play as a guest without linking a wallet, but you will not receive cryptocurrency rewards.

It’s a much simpler game than Sky Mavis’ Axie Infinity, but it also has a bit of a Guitar Hero vibe due to the musical elements and the task of moving Axies to catch fruit and create music.

Every time I lost, it gave me that “one more shot” feeling you get in arcade games like Stacker, games where you have to stack blocks up to the top row to win prizes.

How difficult can it be to feed two furry creatures that are dripping with fruit?

There’s also a leaderboard for the top 1,000 players from around the world, so it’s a great opportunity to start playing this game early and see if you can get on the leaderboard.
