Since 2022 I’ve been chipping away at an idea to build an open world game that would be a mix between a trading card game (TCG) a tabletop game and a text based RPG. I was heavily inspired by text based RPGs from the 80s which placed a priority on immersive storytelling, player imagination, choice consequence and exploration. I decided to use bubble (a no code tool) to create the application because I made the decision early on that I wanted the game to use both Web2 and Web3 technologies. Bubble allowed me to build the application (mostly) without code using a plugin called Web3 & MetaMask. I’m also using ThirdWeb open source smart contracts to create the NFTs. My users (my first users signed up yesterday) can now sign using only their MetaMask / Ethereum details. This is my first Web3 project and I’m really happy with how it’s progressing. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but its come a long way. Likely, within the next 2-3 weeks, I’m going to implement the ability to concert player generated cards in NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. I already have the functionality built in, I just haven’t released it yet, because if the cards are NFTs, they could then be traded outside the game world. In itself this is fine, but I need to build a system to check if the current game player is the current card’s owner. Again, not particularly difficult to do, I just want a bit more player feedback before I incorporate this feature. You can try the game out for free, or watch the video tutorial I posted on the land page of the site. I just wanted to share this because it could be interesting for other people who are thinking about developing a Web3 app, and don’t want to (or don’t know how to) code it from scratch.
