I forgot there was one more chain for gaming I need to try and it is for Gala Games. This site actually has it's own chain and when you sign up you will create your wallet right then and there on the site. It is easy to do and like the other site you use you will have to write down your recovery phrase on a piece of paper and keep it safe.
That main game that is up and running is Town Star. It is a farming sim like is like farmville but with the blockchain element to it. I'm trying it right now. You start by picking a piece of land anywhere on the world map and then starting your farm. You get a good amount of cash to start so you can start building right away. You build plots of lands for different resources and then sell them for in-game cash. There is a leaderboard so I think you can get stuff if you are high enough but I don't see anyway to sell my items or make income daily in the game just yet.
It is fun and relaxing to play it. I never got into Farmville but I imagine this is the same type of title where you build and the more you vuild the more resources you get so you can build more. I do not think I will make it anywhere on the leaderboard as the scores already seem pretty high but I'll mess with it for a bit. It works well in your browser so try it out if you get a chance.
All you need is to start an account and you will be in the game in no time. There is no cost to sign up or play. There is a market where you can buy stuff for Town Star and you can also buy stuff for the games that are not out yet.
Gala Games already has 5 titles on their site already that are in the works, with Town Star being on the only playable one. There is a lot of room to grow here and if the platform takes off Gala games can be a hub for blockchain gaming.
If you have money to spend you can also buy a node and run it to earn passive Gala coins. If the system takes off this could be lucrative but it is expensive to get started. You will need to pay 3 eth for a node and that is about 10k USD. I do not have that kinda money to drop.
Unless you are buying a node it doesn't look like this is the play-to-earn yet with the exception of the leaderboard. But still it will cost you nothing to try it out so I do recommend at least going to the site and playing Town Star if you got some time on your hands to see if it is a game you would like to follow.
The Gala Game site runs with the Gala coin. The coin is currently sitting at .01861 cents at the time of writing this and has a market cap of 130,241,394.06. Although it is running on its own side chain it is on the ethereum network. The price has been pretty stable this year so far.
Alright now we are done with the play-to-earn search for now. I'll still check the news everyday and see what is new but for now there is only a couple of titles with gameplay up and running. But I'm still optimistic in what the future will hold for blockchain gaming.
