In early 2020, following the outbreak of Covid-19 and widespread isolation and quarantine, the idea of a virtual world (Metaverse) for life and working with all features of the real world came to the mind of the founders.
What it does
Creating both a Free2Play and Play2Earn metaverse that mixes gaming with social interaction and decision-making to create a world fully built on top of player actions. That is fully on-chain, transparent, cross-chain, and cross-platform.
How we built it
Game Engine: Histopia game engine is written and optimized for a cross-platform experience. The engine uses the three.js library as its graphical renderer. This will make easier the integration of VR/AR into our game engine and the use of Virtual Reality technology in Histopia Metaverse. The required SDKs and designer toolkit will be released in the future.
Smart Contracts: A big portion of the logic and finance of the Histopia is fully on-chain with the minimum trust issues. The contracts are written in Solidity and Func.
Voice Communication and proximity call: we have a media server for supporting a unique proximity chat experience that let users feel the distance between each other and the presence with the voice system.
Backend Endpoints: We used python and node.js for implementing our needs of fetching metadata or organizing our databases for a better user experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Technical Accomplishments: Successfully using web workers to make the game experience smoother Designing an on-chain in-game challenge architecture that let us securely and trustlessly make in-game mini-games.
