Fracture Labs: Tools and Technology Development for Open World Games

Fracture Labs — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:02:10 GMT

Fracture Labs is an Estonian-based technology company that specializes in creating large-scale, open world environments for the gaming and entertainment industries. The company was founded in 2018 by Stephen Arnold, a 15+ year veteran in the videogames industry, who saw the potential of using cutting-edge technology to create immersive, realistic virtual worlds, with digitally scarce virtual items.

Fracture Labs’ flagship product is called Decimated, which is set in a vast, open-world environment in which players can explore, build, and engage in combat with each other. The game’s scale and complexity are made possible by Unreal engine 5, which allows for a seamless, persistent world with realistic physics.

Decimated is a post-apocalyptic survival game set in a world where AI has taken over and caused a totalitarian struggle between itself and humanity. Players must scavenge for resources, build shelter, and fight off robots and other players to survive. As players complete tasks and progress through the game, they can earn a cryptocurrency called DIO that can be used to purchase in-game items or exchanged for real-world money.

The concept of games like Decimated is appealing to many players because it allows them to potentially earn rewards for the time and effort they put into the game. This is in contrast to traditional games, where players may spend money on in-game items without the opportunity to earn that money back. In Decimated, the items that can be purchased are purely cosmetic and do not give players who spend more money an advantage over other players, but they can be sold to other players safely and securely.

Web3 refers to the third generation of web technologies, which includes technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps).

Fracture Labs uses web3 technologies in conjunction with Unreal Engine 5, Microsoft Playfab and Amazon Web Servers, to create persistent virtual environments with digital scarcity of virtual items, and a deposit/withdrawal functionality that enables trading of digital assets on secondary marketplaces. This can enable more secure and transparent data sharing and interactions between different platforms.

The team also use Procedural tools, which are used to generate content algorithmically, rather than manually. This can include anything from random terrain generation to the generation of buildings, roads, tunnels, bridges and other natural or man-made structures. Fracture Labs uses procedural tools such as Houdini in combination with Unreal Engine 5 to create highly dynamic and realistic virtual environments. This can enable the automatic creation of vast, complex virtual worlds with a high degree of variability and realism.

Fracture Labs has received significant funding and recognition for its innovative technology and potential impact on the gaming industry. In 2021, the company raised $4.1 million in a funding round led by Spartan Group and Mechanism Capital, valuing the company at over $30million.

In 2019 the studio received an award for Best Blockchain Game at the Crypto Games Conference, and in 2022, the Best Blockchain Game award from Global Games Pitch and Best Blockchain Game Developer from Hackernoon.

Overall, Fracture Labs’ use of web3 and procedural tools allows it to create decentralized, dynamic virtual environments on an unprecedented scale. These technologies enable more secure, transparent, and realistic games, and have the potential to impact a wide range of industries beyond gaming.

Decimated DIO Staking Launched

Fracture Labs — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 15:12:35 GMT

Decimators! Our development team has been hard at work wrapping up the release of our DIO staking platform, and we are happy to announce that the much-anticipated launch of $DIO token staking is now officially live!

Staking is an innovative way to support the project and its network operation along with earning a reward. If you are a DIO holder, you can stake it, and generate additional passive income rather than just keeping it in the wallet. Remember — the sooner you stake, the more rewards!

DIO STAKING OVERVIEW

There are three different staking pools with different lock periods, the maximum being 30 days. You can stake your DIO tokens and earn returns depending on the number of tokens you stake and the time for which you stake them. By staking DIO, you can earn a variable annual percentage yield, or APR.

The current APR is determined by the total number of wallets/tokens allocated in each pool vs the total tokens available to be earned. More rewards may be added to each pool if the APR gets too low, and there will be additional staking pools with varying lock times, staking limits and rewards added in the future. Check the staking page for more details on the current active pools https://staking.decimated.net/

Staking from the first day will bring about the highest rewards.

DIO STAKING POOL EXAMPLES

Limit staked: 10,000
Unstake period time: 1 day
Rewards per day: 1,000

Limit staked: 10,000
Unstake period time: 5 day
Rewards per day: 1,000

Limit staked: 3,000,000
Lock period time: 30 days
Rewards per day: 3,000

Decimated Whitepaper

Fracture Labs — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 16:14:34 GMT

DECIMATED

A post-apocalyptic online survival role-playing game with a blockchain based economy

WHITEPAPER

This version: 27th November 2018.
Last revised: 19th December 2021.

Written by:
Fracture Labs Development Team

OUR VISION

We are creating an online multiplayer sandbox game where players must use skill and intelligence to harvest resources, trade with other players, and survive in a hostile apocalyptic environment. DECIMATED is an online multiplayer sci-fi survival game which we are developing in Unreal Engine 4 (Unreal Engine 5 from 2022) to achieve this massive scale, and meaningful persistence.

There are two factions of players: human citizens and cyborg cops, both of whom are played by real people.

We are using blockchain technology to manage in-game trading, digital scarcity and ownership of virtual items, which will be stored in a digital wallet on the players’ smartphone. Our digital token is called ÐIO and can be earned or scavenged in-game, used to buy, sell or trade virtual items, upgrades and customizations.

DECIMATED will incentivize exploring and scavenging the environment, looting, missions and working for reward. Players can compete against each other, or cooperate to complete objectives and perform jobs in-game — as good citizens, or rogue citizens. All virtual items from clothing, weapons, construction equipment and technology will have value on the market, and can be traded with other players or in virtual shops.

ABOUT US

Fracture Labs is a Limited Liability Company, created in 2018 specifically to create an online videogame with a blockchain based economy.

CORE TEAM

A full list of current employees can be seen on our website team page or company linkedin profile. At the time of writing, we are 20 full time staff, made up of experienced game developers that have worked on many AAA titles in our careers. Our core team is split between Lisbon, Portugal, Kiev, Ukraine and across Europe.

ABOUT THE GAME

BACKSTORY

Earth has been abandoned after hundreds of years of destructive climate change and catastrophic neglect of the environment by corporations and industry. Political and social unrest has left the old cities decimated and hostile to life. Civilization has collapsed and destroyed itself.

Only obedient first class citizens, were permitted onto the new world. The unworthy who were left behind — criminals, dissidents and the poor — scavenge in the forgotten cities of the old world, which have become overgrown with jungle, flooded by swamps, swallowed by sand and frozen by ice. Pollution and technological debris litters the environment, and survivors have set up shelter in destroyed skyscrapers, laboratories, abandoned metros and crumbling freeways.

The world is inhabited by criminals, pirates, bounty hunters, slavers, cannibals, mutated creatures, genetic experiments and malfunctioning robots, all competing for resources and territory.

https://medium.com/media/01e88d1b39918c13d5aa619312d38e58/href

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

The game will be a 3rd person Player vs Environment (PvE) & Player vs Player (PvP) game in a persistent online world, on a planned 64km² map that can be crossed by land, sea and air vehicles. Players can switch into 1st person at any time, such as when aiming with a weapon.

DECIMATED will be a competitive and cooperative online game, where players can choose to play a human citizen or a cyborg cop, policing the area.

All players will begin as human citizens, and can be whitelisted to play a cyborg cop if they have been playing by the rules of the game, and pass their training. There will be ranks to be promoted to as a cop, but breaking the law or not performing duties will result in demotion, and potentially being blacklisted temporarily or permanently from playing on the cop side.

Players can salvage technology, repair vehicles, find cryptocurrency, build bases, fortify shelters, and trade in this hostile post apocalyptic environment. Enemies include other players trying to survive, plus NPC’s such as malfunctioning robots, bio-monsters and mutated creatures.

Players can earn DIO by:

- exploring and salvaging cryptocurrency and technology
- Undertaking legal or illegal jobs with varying risk/reward
- hijacking shipments/ambushing convoys
- escorting shipments and protecting them
- collecting bounties by imprisoning/killing players and target NPC’s
- breaking prisoners out of imprisonment for a reward
- buying/selling/trading items to other players or on the virtual market

Missions will spawn around the map, attracting players from all directions, and the last man or last clan standing will get the loot.

Players will have to find food, water and in some cases, oxygen to survive. Food and water can be found around the environment and in dispenser machines.

If players are injured, they will have to treat their wounds or risk bleeding to death. Players can treat each other and help recover from injury, however, they can become addicted to medication and their performance and judgment will be affected by their addictions.

If you die in the game, you will respawn with limited items. There will be safes and safehouses where players can store items and respawn from custom locations.

Our game will feature user generated content (UGC), and players will be able to customize content such as vehicles, which can be used by other players. User Generated Content can be bought, sold and traded in-game much like other 3D asset stores.

Players will also be able to offer rewards to others for co-op missions, breaking prisoners out of jail, collecting bounties, etc. Players can create groups to attempt missions. Each group member will be assigned a split of the loot, provided they survive to the end, or are not betrayed by other players.

Players will be able to spray graffiti tags around the environment to mark their territory. We believe that this will give players a creative input into how the game world looks, which will develop over time on each server. Of course, tagging will be considered an offence by the cyborg cops, so players will have to do this discreetly.

GREEN ZONES AND RED ZONES

Green zones are safe areas that are heavily controlled by the cyborg cops. It is illegal to injure, rob or kill other players in this zone, so it’s the perfect place for players to transfer tokens to/from their wallet, buy licenses, or socialize with other players. There will be low risk, low reward jobs in and around the green zones.

Red zones are designated areas where players can rob, fight and kill each other. These are usually in the high risk, high reward areas, and usually where more experienced players will travel through in order to hijack shipments, hold up other players, take hostages, or other illegal activities.

BUILDING AND FORTIFICATION

The game will feature a build system to allow players to modify and fortify existing areas of the map, or construct entirely new buildings using modular components such as walls, windows, doors, pillars, stairs, fences and decorations. Components will have varying levels of damage resistance, so other players will be able to attack bases, damage them, and potentially conquer them.

Building components can be scavenged from around the map, or purchased in the marketplace.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

Once bases have been built, ownership and permissions can be assigned. Only owners will have permission to make modifications inside a controlled area.
Our game will allow ownership of property and custom built safehouses. Abandoned buildings in the wastelands will not be purchasable, but by fortifying floors or buildings, or building fences around them, players can limit access only to authorized players. Properties will have safes and storage boxes to store virtual items such as weapons, ammo, armor and other virtual items. These will be cryptographically locked so that other players cannot hack them.

TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION

Players will start on foot unless they have purchased virtual items in advance, and will be able to find and repair vehicles, or purchase them from other players and trading posts. Vehicles will include traditional wheeled vehicles, hovering vehicles, flying vehicles, and water vehicles. Players will also be able to pay NPC’s to fast travel to other locations.

COMPETITION FOR RESOURCES

Decimated is a real-time multiplayer action adventure game where players will have to use skill and intelligence to survive, cooperate with or compete against other players.

The game will be free to play, but players will start with nothing unless they earn or buy DIO, in order to progress futher. Players can use DIO to buy their first license, vehicle or weapon, and will have to find paid work to progress.

As well as the challenge of surviving in a harsh environment, meeting other players and choosing to cooperate or fight each other, each player can pay real money, earn money while playing, and exchange into real money later by auctioning their virtual assets to other players.

Territory can be fought for, and certain areas of the map will be possible to buy with DIO, such as city apartments. Players will be free to sell their apartments to other players at any time.

SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT

We are creating a huge open world map that will span 64km² of a cyberpunk influenced apocalyptic world. The environment will include crumbling cities, deserts, wastelands, caves, and safe zones fortified by the cyborg cops. Players will be free to explore this vast area, scavenge, trade, build or complete missions. Players can refuel their vehicles at hydroleum stations, collect resources from mines, quarries and landfills, and process those resources in factories. Cops will stop and search players suspected of criminal activity, and criminals will be sent to detention centers or PvP deathmatch arenas around the map.

PLAYER AND FACTIONS

Players and NPC’s in the game will be friendly, or hostile. Player status and reputation will be stored on the blockchain, and in their offline wallet, and other players / NPC’s will react accordingly.

On starting the game, players will be a citizen trying to survive in the world, but after the player has progressed through the game, provided they play by the rules, they can be whitelisted to play as cyborg cops.

Cops must undergo training before being assigned to duty. Players begin as a cadet and will be given training missions, to teach them about the rules. Their job is to catch criminals and police the wasteland. Cops will be able to communicate with each other via VOIP channels, to alert each other of citizens breaking the law.

The cops will set up checkpoints, interrogate citizens, penalize citizens, confiscate contraband, catch criminals and incarcerate them. There will be cash rewards for catching criminals, such as bounties on bandits and murderers.

If citizens get incarcerated, they can ask other players to break them out of jail for a reward.

Armed cops will be able to deliver non-lethal or lethal shots to civilians, and take citizens into custody if they are a suspected of a crime or do not possess the correct license and registration for their vehicle, weapon or commodity that they are transporting. Licences can be revoked by the cops if players are breaking the law.

Both cops and citizens can purchase technological upgrades for their characters for extra strength, agility, stamina or perceptive ability. Both will be able to level up their character and capabilities the more experience they get.

Citizens will be able to choose to do low risk, low reward, or high risk, high reward missions.

INFECTED WOUNDS & AUGMENTATIONS

Players can get injured and will need to be healed with certain pharmaceuticals or by medics, which could be played by other players or NPC’s. Untreated injuries will result in poorer performance and sometime death.

Damaged limbs can be healed with stem cell regeneration fluid, or player can equip their body with cyborg augmentations to enhance their performance.

We will include mutations so players could take chemicals that will affect their performance and appearance in positive and negative ways.

GRAPHICS

The game will be created in Unreal Engine 4 and upgraded to Unreal Engine 5 in 2022 when the Engine is available, using the most up to date physically based rendering (PBR), real-time raytracing (RTX) with photogrammetry assets. We will be creating a hyper-realistic game world, with lifelike characters, creatures and environments. Textures will use dynamic shaders for snow, sand, water and other environmental effects, that will change according to the weather. We are using procedural systems like Houdini to create landscapes, buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels and props scattered around the environment.

BLOCKCHAIN ARCHITECTURE

Decimated will run on multiple AWS servers around the world with a centralized SQL back-end database for player stats, while DIO and NFT activity will be executed through the Solana blockchain, to enable peer-to-peer trading and enable digital scarcity of virtual items.

We will use smart contracts with a decentralized name/value store built directly into the blockchain.

Blockchain technology provides many advantages to the videogame industry:

It provides unprecedented levels of security
It mitigates hacking, fraud, and manipulation of the database
It can be used for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a 3rd party
It can be used to store ownership of virtual items
It can be used to create digital scarcity

UTILITY TOKEN PURPOSE

There will be one type of token in our game, which will be called DIO represented by the symbol Ð, and based on the Solana blockchain which we will integrate into Unreal Engine to enable digital currency and digitally scarce virtual items that players can buy, sell and trade with each other.

Our currency is to act as the main means of exchange inside the Decimated videogame, and what will give value to all other items in the game. So the price of a vehicle, a weapon or a consumable will be reflected in DIO.

The contract for DIO can be found on https://explorer.solana.com/address/BiDB55p4G3n1fGhwKFpxsokBMqgctL4qnZpDH1bVQxMD

DIGITAL WALLET

Each player can use their preferred digital wallet of choice linked to their account, but we plan to enable users to use an in-game digital wallet which can display player data, team factions, digital currency and items owned, and more. We will also be developing a digital wallet for smartphone, so players can view their tokens, items and player data on their smartphone, customize their character while away from the main game, and receive notifications of in-game activity such as if their base is under attack, messages from other players, etc.

TOKENOMICS IN AN MULTIPLAYER ECONOMY

The DIO token economy is centered around a continuous circulation of tokens between the Decimated world and the ecosystem’s participants, aiming at a highly liquid token.

The economy is designed to manage the inflow and outflow of virtual tokens and items, taking all types of gameplay into consideration.

The maximum supply of DIO Tokens has been minted in a single genesis block. Unlike other online games which generate virtual money or loot every time an NPC or monster is killed, in DECIMATED, the DIO token is recirculated into the economy when it is spent, and there is a finite amount.

The player can earn this token simply by playing the game, salvaging the environment and doing paid missions posted by other players or the development team.

Players can do missions alone or in co-op groups. Groups can be formed through the user interface, and mission reward tokens will be divided equally between the players in the group, provided they survived to the end of the mission. We plan to integrate a system whereby players can join a group and agree on a share of the rewards for completing missions. It will also be possible for players to betray each other, so there will always be an element of uncertainty when playing with “friendly” players.

Players will be rewarded DIO tokens in the following circumstances:

- referring other players to the game
- buying tokens in-game, on our website or exchanges
- successfully completing missions
- looting the environment
- killing other player and some NPC’s

Players will be debited DIO in the following circumstances:
- repairing weapons, vehicles or bases
- being killed by other players and NPCs
- paying for fast travel to other locations
- transactions fees with vendors and other players
- fines from in-game authorities

AUCTIONING OF VIRTUAL ASSETS AND TOKENS

Players will be able to buy and sell a number of virtual assets (NFT’s) in our integrated trading platform. While many common items like ammo and consumables will not be tokenized and will never leave the game, certain items like vehicles, weapons, character customizations and legendary items will be.

We will create and sell high quality, digitally scarce items during development and for several years after launch on a regular basis. Gamers will be able to purchase these items, customize their own vehicles, weapons and characters, and a unique token address will be assigned to them when they leave the Decimated world. When we run auctions on certain items, such as rare ships, we will set a deadline for players to bid on each item, and the highest bidder will win the item at the end of the auction, ownership will be assigned, and he/she will be able to use it in game, customize it, or trade it with other collectors.

FRAUD PREVENTION

We will be using a fraud prevention system that verifies the legitimacy of registered email addresses on our platform. Email addresses will be scanned using an AI driven risk assessment. Email addresses with a high risk score will be excluded from participating in the game and connecting their wallets. This is to mitigate hackers, scammers and bots that ruin the experience for real players.

FIAT GATEWAY

We will integrate a payment system so players can easily make purchases. DIO will be used to post paid missions to other players, or buy, sell and trade virtual items, such as character customizations, item upgrades or equipment to build an fortify a base.

USER PROFILES

Every player will have their own dedicated user profile area containing an overview of their scores, play times as well as other relevant player information. In addition, the profile contains the following information:

Rank level
Challenge statistics
Live performance
Missions Completed/Failed
DIO Token Balance
Inventory
Crimes Committed
Bounties Collected
and more

AIRDROPS

To encourage people to join our community and play Decimated, we will issue token airdrops and bounty rewards during development and after the game is released. We will also incentivize gameplay by offering daily rewards for playing, whereby players will need to complete daily tasks to earn more DIO.

TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

40% of the entire token volume will be reserved for play-to-earn gameplay, airdrops and in-game rewards.
13% will be reserved for the core team. The percentage is divided between an ever-growing team to develop the entire project.
15% will be sold in a 4 stage sale.
20% will be used for marketing.
10% will be used for liquidity.
2% will be paid to advisors.

Vesting schedules:

The DIO seed round sold 50,000,000 tokens (5%). 2.5% are unlocked at TGE, a 60 day cliff, and they are vested for 18 months with a weekly distribution to all buyers.

The DIO strategic round sold 50,000,000 tokens at (5%). 3.75% are unlocked at TGE, a 45 day cliff, and they are vested for 15 months with a weekly distribution to all buyers.

The DIO private round sold 37,500,000 tokens (3.75%). 5% are unlocked at TGE, a 30 day cliff, and they are vested for 12 months with a weekly distribution to all buyers.

The DIO public round will sell 10,000,000 (1%). 10% are unlocked at TGE, a 14 day cliff, and they are vested for 3 months with a weekly distribution to all buyers.

the Team have a 6 month lock, 36 month vesting period, issued weekly
The Marketing allocation is subject to 30 months vesting period, issued weekly
The Advisors have a 3 month lock, 18 month vesting period, issued weekly

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

- conducting transactions on the blockchain network requires the network to be maintained in a functioning state
- transaction speeds decrease or fail to execute if there is considerable traffic
- irreversibility of transactions sent to the wrong address
- hackers trying to find exploits to defraud other users
- botting, macros, farming
- price manipulation
- clients packet sniffing and sending illegal packets, which in theory, could send false info to the blockchain
- as rewards would be tied directly into the valuation of the currency, many players would lose all motivation or even quit playing completely in case of a sudden devaluation

Solutions
- good server-side protection/validation to prevent packets being edited
- prevent hacking being done before it gets sent to the blockchain
- use safety measures to prevent transactions being sent to the wrong address
- focus on field testing incrementally to mitigate risk in known risk areas
- rapid iterative development to quickly assess challenges
- encourage legitimate gameplay by making cheating undesirable
- maintain the value of in-game cryptocurrency at a fraction of the value of real-world-money
- moderate the value of virtual items to realistic real-world prices

There are a host of cryptocurrency vulnerabilities that you need to be aware of. Hackers trying to hack wallets, phishing scams and fake accounts are the most common issues.

WTF is Decimated?

Fracture Labs — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 13:49:44 GMT

by Arcane Bear, December 4th 2021

Today, we will discuss Decimated, an upcoming crypto game that has been in production in 2018. It’s in pre-alpha and is already available on Steam to wishlist.Unreal Engine rewarded Decimated an Unreal Megagrant, so obviously, there’s a lot of hype around this game. Let’s dive in….

What’s Decimated all about?

Decimated is a third-person role-playing survival game. In it, the Earth has been destroyed by climate change. Only the first-class citizens were able to leave the planet and go to a new world. All the rest, such as criminals, dissidents and the poor, live in the forgotten cities of the Earth.

The planet has become filled with jungles and deserts. It’s a giant wasteland. The survivors live in shelters in destroyed skyscrapers, metros and laboratories.

In the dystopian sci-fi world of Decimated, only the fittest can survive. The world is filled with players that can be either friendly or hostile. Also, there are NPC’s such as robots and mutated creatures that compete for resources and territory.

In Decimated, players can choose between different roles. They can either fight against or team up with other players. You can do tons of different things in the game, such as:

Scavenge loot
Transport cargo
Trade your loot
Hunt different creatures
Conquer territory
Build a safe house for your team

Also, you can choose between different vehicles to travel across the map. Not only that, but you can choose between different characters in the game. You could be a human or a cyborg..

All players start as human citizens, but they choose different tasks that show if they’re more human or cyborg as they play the game. Players will define their role by the clothing their characters wear.

To play as a cop, you’ll need to apply to be enlisted. You’ll get chosen if you have no criminal record and obey the rules that control the world of Decimated. Decimated will expand the game, adding more playable roles such as:

Resource collector
Medic
Mechanic
Vehicle operator
Taxi driver
Hitman
Bounty hunter
Private security
Scavenger
Smuggler
Infiltrator
Mercenary
Cyborg cop
Criminal
Prisoner

Check out the Game Play

Who’s behind Decimated?

Fracture Labs created Decimated. They are a team of Unreal Engine game developers. Fracture Labs has huge experience creating different games for PC, mobile and console.

Their team can do everything a game needs like:

Concept art
Storyboarding
2D/3D asset production
Previs
Performance capture
Animation
Cinematics
Facial animation
Technical integration
Lighting and VFX

Fracture Labs aims to deliver next-gen gaming experiences using:

Houdini
3DS Max
Maya
Blender
Motionbuilder
Zbrush
Quixel
Substance Designer
Marvellous Designer
Photoshop
After Effects
The most illustrious artists, developers and partners

What’s the tech behind Decimated?

Fracture Labs is developing Decimated on the blockchain. They have decided to move the game to Solana. That means that a layer 1 solution will power the entire economy of Decimated. Fracture Labs chose Solana as their L1 because it’s fast, cheap and can power the entire play-to-earn NFT ecosystem.

Right now, the game is being tested by different players to see if there are any bugs and if it could scale. It’s a demo where you can hover with vehicles, co-operate with other players or capture an enemy flag.

What’s the future of Decimated?

Right now, the game is on Steam, and you can add it to your wishlist. It’s still in the pre-alpha stage but will give early access to players in late 2021. The full game will be released in 2022.

What’s next after that? Decimated is going to introduce these features that will enrich the gameplay:

Progression system
AI levelling
Quests
XP counter
Meta gameplay
Weapon degradation
Resource gathering
PvE instances with bosses and loot
Vehicles gameplay
Cargo activity
Trade routes
A city with market, merchants and NPC’s
Skill system
Roleplay and character development
Huge desert area with many events, areas, biomes and points of interest
New classes and skills
Augmentations
Crafting.

What are the tokenomics of Decimated?

Decimated’s in-game currency is DIO. It was supposed to be an ERC20 token, but the game has moved to Solana, so we will see.

The game will have 1,000,000,000 DIO that would be circulating from day 1. There won’t be any minting or burning of tokens after the initial release. The team wants to avoid inflation because, in most play-to-earn games, players farm the in-game tokens.

DIO’s price will be set at 0.05 cents but could increase or decrease depending on the investment the team gets.

How does the team ensure no more tokens are created?

They use cryptography inside the Solana mainchain to maintain security. Fracture Labs is also working to add tons of features to the game to keep up with the demand for DIO tokens.

Players can earn these tokens by:

Doing different missions
Buying, selling, trading, or even bartering items that are stolen from other characters or NPC.

Wrapping Up

Decimated has a lot of potential. For one, the game has already been in development for three years. It’s not like the team has created it out of thin air, so they can catch the gaming bull run.

Also, the game has a lot of credibility behind it. It’s already on Steam which says a lot because getting listed there is not easy. Another thing that plays into Decimated’s favor is that the game is being tested by different gamers to make sure everything runs smoothly.

These two things give Decimated a huge advantage over other crypto games. In addition, the team behind Decimated is very experienced. They work with all the latest and greatest gaming development tools, so Decimated should offer a smooth experience.

Also, the play-to-earn NFT functionality gives players an incentive to participate in the game. The scope of Decimated is so big, and we will see if Fracture Labs can pull it off. But with all the beta testing and listing on Steam, Decimated looks very promising.

Be sure to follow them on their social channels to stay up to date with any current project progress.

Forward Analytics invests in Decimated

Fracture Labs — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 11:20:43 GMT

Forward Analytics is proud to announce our investment in Decimated. Led by Fracture Labs, a team of talented Unreal Engine game developers with more than 14 years in game development. The team had developed extensive art, animation, and cinematics production skillsets working on several AAA titles.

Decimated started development in 2018, and since then, won several awards.

3rd place out of 90 startups at Nakamotos Den 2019
Best Blockchain Game Award at the CGC Games Conference 2019
Shortlisted at the Big Indie Pitch 2021
Finalist at GDBay Global Games Pitch 2021
Epic MegaGrant from Unreal Engine

Besides the stellar team, Decimated offers a more content-rich, action-packed gameplay with by far the highest end graphic we have seen in the existing Play-to-Earn gamefi projects currently. Forward Analytics strongly believes that a strong social engagement is an important core component for gamefi, and Decimated developed their game in Unreal Engine 4 using SpatialOS enabling them to achieve hundreds of players per server, and thus creating a more engaging experience for players.

Decimated is a cyberpunk-themed Play-to-Earn, 3rd person multiplayer online game, with a variety of gameplay and customization. Decimated consist of different gameplay, from PvPvE, Survival, and Sci-fi vehicles racing.

Players get to choose their roles and equipment/armor, and unlock special items and skills as they level up. Players can choose to fight against or team up with other players, salvage loot, transport cargo or VIPs to other locations, collect legal/illegal resources and trade, hunt legendary creatures, capture territory, and build safe houses for their gang.

Play-to-EARN, Players can earn DIO by:

exploring and salvaging cryptocurrency and technology
Undertaking legal or illegal jobs with varying risk/reward
hijacking shipments/ambushing convoys
escorting shipments and protecting them
collecting bounties by imprisoning/killing players and target NPC’s
breaking prisoners out of imprisonment for a reward
buying/selling/trading items to other players or on the virtual market

The game seems quite similar to a very popular game called “Escape from Tarkov”, where a player’s skill matters a lot, and dying in the game might result in respawning with limited items. There will be safehouses where players can store items and respawn from custom locations. Players will also be required to find food and water, and in some cases, oxygen to survive. Missions will also spawn around the map, creating new assignments for players.

It will also feature an NFT marketplace. Where the exchange of goods can happen, and fees collected into the treasury. A portion of the treasury might also be used to reward the top players on the leadership board.

With the current playable Pre-alpha already out, and Virtual currency pre-sale coming soon, Forward Analytics looks forward to the next PC Alpha Release and will be joining in to provide the utmost support to Decimated.

Decimated is migrating from Ethereum to Solana

Fracture Labs — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 16:25:57 GMT

After almost 2 years of development of the Decimated game and a strategic decision to put all blockchain integration on hold until the game was sufficiently developed, the technology had matured and the market sentiment for blockchain games was ripe, the team have decided to integrate Solana Blockchain into the Decimated game to enable the use of NFT’s and a play-to-earn economy.

Solana is the fastest blockchain in the world and the fastest growing ecosystem in crypto, with over 400 projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and more. The developers behind this project succeeded in creating a network that could surpass today’s payment processors in terms of Transactions Per Second and functionality. As such you can expect to see more developers make the switch over to Solana, as the original blockchains continue to suffer scalability concerns.

Solana also supports writing on-chain programs using the C and C++ programming languages, which is also the language used in Unreal Engine, for Decimated.

As a result of this migration, the old DIO smart contract will be discontinued and a new DIO smart contract will be issued in Q4 2021. Owners of the original DIO will be automatically issued the new token to the same wallet before the game is released.

The new DIO smart contract will not be available publicly until after November 2021.

The gameplay so far is just scratching the surface of what the Decimated universe has in store for it’s players.

buy your own virtual apartment in the Decimated megacity

Decimated is situated in a post-apocalyptic world with two main factions: Human citizens and Cyborg cops. The players will go through a progression system that will give them the choice to remain on the Human side and improve their skills in certain tasks or be upgraded to a Cyborg Cop after going through training. Once decided players must find a way to survive through a variety of ways:

Exploring, salvaging valuable tech that can earn virtual currency
Undertaking legal or illegal jobs with varying risk/reward
Hijacking shipments/ambushing convoys
Escorting shipments and protecting them
Collecting bounties by imprisoning/killing players and target NPC’s
Breaking prisoners out of imprisonment for a reward
Buying/selling/trading items to other players or on the virtual market

Once the player base is established the most lucrative ways of earning DIO, the in-game currency, will crystalize to the top and possibly even give birth to new ways unthought before as in the world of Decimated every action has a reaction!

So whether you’d like to start a mogul empire by selling valuable items or you’re more of a scoundrel type that likes to raid caravans, the Decimated Universe is open for you to leave your mark!

We are playtesting Decimated every Monday with the core community on Discord, patrons, investors and publishers, to discuss the latest updates of the week, and the features we are working on for future updates.
