DEAR, an on-chain game fully incubated by ARPA Network, will launch its third round on B3, a horizontally scaled gaming ecosystem built on Base. This expansion marks another significant phase in DEAR’s evolution as it continues to push the boundaries of gaming through the creative use of blockchain technology. DEAR challenges players to nurture, influence, and ultimately shape the life of a digital entity through interactions through transactions.
DEAR’s move to B3 leverages the platform’s robust features to provide a frictionless environment for blockchain gaming. B3 builds on Base’s solid foundation and simplifies the management of complex blockchain infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on improving gameplay. This allows DEAR to deliver a richer, more immersive experience without the usual technical hurdles associated with blockchain gaming.
DEAR’s gameplay is deeply social and interactive, relying on collective decisions made by players to advance the narrative. As such, B3’s architecture, designed to support high transaction volumes without compromising speed or cost, is ideal for the complex interactions within DEAR. The platform ensures that players can enjoy continuous gameplay with minimal interruptions, a crucial feature to maintain engagement in an on-chain environment. Additionally, B3’s streamlined onboarding process and integrated Game Discovery Hub facilitate easy access for newbies and experienced players to explore new challenges.
Felix Xu, CEO of ARPA, shares his insights on the project: “DEAR is more than just a game; it is a social experiment and a piece of interactive art. The game mechanics, developed directly from blockchain features, explore the composability and extensibility of smart contracts, as well as the complex relationships between individuals in the blockchain ecosystem. Features such as collaborative competition, a limited lifetime, and mechanisms for double spending and infectious tokens highlight the innovative blend of virtual pet simulation, abstract art, and blockchain technology.”
Viktoriya Hying, co-founder of NPC Labs and lead author of B3, added: “B3 aims to make fun and engaging games easily discoverable and accessible for players on Basement.fun. DEAR will be the very first fully on-chain game for B3 players and we are particularly excited about ARPA’s unique mechanics and stunning art, which make it a truly unique experience.”
