Community closed beta is coming soon, the new work of the STEPN team: Gas Hero game is good for GMT

The evolution of traditional games is a journey full of innovation and change, from the initial single-player games, to later story-based and role-playing games, to e-sports games, and finally to the era of social interaction and virtual social games. However, Johnny, the producer of GasHero, believes that Web3 games are bringing a brand new element to the gaming world - the encrypted game economy experience.

This economic experience allows users to enjoy the fun of strategic thinking and action by interacting with economic models and communities, which is difficult for traditional games to provide. It is based on this concept that Gas Hero was born. Here is an introduction to this recently popular game.

Gas Hero is the latest social strategy blockchain game launched by Find Satoshi Lab, a development team of STEPN. It will be tested in the community from November 24 to December 8. This test will adopt the deleted file test mode, and a total of 3,000 users will have the opportunity to participate, including Gas Hero badge holders, Find Satoshi Lab ambassadors, partners, etc. Once the deleted file test is successfully completed, the official version is expected to be launched in December.

Introduction to Gas Hero

It is worth mentioning that Gas Hero will be deployed on the Polygon chain and will not issue new tokens, but will use existing GMT tokens to support various scenarios in the game. At the same time, the game will also provide registered players with a contract wallet that supports email login and asset recovery functions to ensure that players' assets are safely stored.

Previously, as an eye-catching blockchain game, STEPN achieved great success in a short period of time, with the number of monthly active users quickly exceeding 100,000 and exceeding one million at its peak.

At the same time, the trading volume of the governance token GMT once surpassed Bitcoin due to the popularity of the game, which was a glorious achievement of STEPN in the past.

Gas Hero is the second blockchain game launched by the Find Satoshi Lab team, which creates a fascinating future world for players. The background of the game is set after a nuclear war, the earth's resources are scarce, and the surviving humans rise again from underground and embark on a difficult journey of revival.

In this world, players will play the role of survivors and need to join cities, guilds or tribes, establish close ties with other players, and obtain rewards through collective combat, which makes cooperation the core of the game.

The game is structured to bring all players into a shared social world. Cities are divided into districts, districts are divided into guilds, guilds are divided into settlements, and each settlement has 9 players. The team's ambition is to attract millions of users to participate in the game, so scale is an important consideration when designing the layers of cities, districts, guilds, settlements, and bases.

Gas Hero used artificial intelligence to identify the 175 cities, which was based on a combination of factors such as population, GDP, country and continental balance.

In Gas Hero, combat is a crucial part. Players can obtain resources through individual or guild combat. The core design of the game lies in the supply and demand of resources. There are many resources in Gas Hero, and each resource has its own unique consumption requirements. Players need to be good at grasping the cycles and changes of different resources to gain an advantage in the market economy.

Gas Hero's auction house mechanism is also very unique. Each guild and jurisdiction has its own auction house, and the items on it are provided by the official according to the system rules. This design reflects the supply and demand adjustment mechanism of the market. Regions with lower purchasing power may bid for lower-priced goods, while prosperous regions may bid for higher-quality goods. In addition, the auction house also provides the opportunity to post hero recruitment posts, which may recruit the founding hero.

The map structure of the game also includes some governance-related buildings above the guild level, such as the administration department, the town hall, and the United Nations. This shows that the game may focus on resource accumulation in the early stage, and more on the acquisition of influence and reputation in the later stage. Players need to continuously improve their status through various means.

In general, Gas Hero provides a diversified gaming experience, which includes combat elements, strategy, social and other aspects. In the game, players can not only gain advantages by paying, but also improve their status and experience through a variety of strategies and ways. This new attempt provides players with more freedom and depth, making Gas Hero a crypto game full of innovative elements.

As can be seen from the white paper, Gashero does not produce tokens, but GMT will be used as the only currency for game asset transactions. In addition, various enhancement activities in the game will burn GMT.

Gashero's enhancement system is very diverse, including hero upgrades, base upgrades, weapon recasts (multiple recasts can increase the lower limit of the value), pet evolutions, skill upgrades, etc. From the numerical design point of view, to become a top player, you will need a lot of GMT to strengthen your character and resources.

In GasHero, all resources in the game come from the output of players. Due to the variety of resources, the resources produced by individuals in the game cannot meet all needs, so players need to obtain scarce resources through the trading market and auction house to complete the development activities. This means that GMT will be frequently used as the universal currency in the game.

Guilds, as the core part of SLG, are also applied to Gashero.

The game is divided into five governance levels, including clan leader, president, district chief, mayor and world elder. Managers at different levels are elected or nominated according to different criteria. Lower-level managers focus on the player's combat strength, while upper-level managers pay more attention to factors such as economic strength, organizational ability, interpersonal relationships and luck.

The income of managers mainly comes from the transaction tax within their management scope. For example, 2% of the transaction amount of Genesis Hero and 4% of the transaction amount of other NFTs will go into the manager's tax pool. The tax pool is divided into two parts according to the location of the buyer and seller, and each manager gets half of it equally.

Although managers at all levels seem to have the same income, due to the tree structure, the tax income of top managers will be much higher than that of lower managers. This means that competition will be very fierce because management rights are closely related to money.

GasHero started to promote it in mid-October. With the recovery of the chain game market, the price of GMT has fluctuated significantly. The price of GMT tokens with a market value of more than 200 million US dollars has increased by nearly 50%. This shows the community’s expectations and attention towards GasHero.

However, it should be noted that GMT tokens have been facing large-scale unlocking since March this year. According to Token Unlocks, as of November 1, the circulating supply of GMT was about 1.28 billion, accounting for 21.4% of the total, and 68% of the tokens have not yet been unlocked. This may have a certain impact on the GMT price.

It is worth mentioning that FSL also has high expectations for Gas Hero. As early as July this year, when the game was looking for creators on the character's artistic image selection, the team generously rewarded about 2 million GMT tokens and promised to pay 2% royalties for marketing and attention. At the same time, the initial player capacity of the game is about 130,000, but the gameplay and technical framework design can be expanded to more than 6 million people. This number is impressive, especially considering that the Gas Hero development team previously successfully launched the blockchain game StepN, which has more than 5.3 million registered users.

The vision of Gas Hero is to create a game that is truly native to Web3, with the core goal of providing a highly entertaining gaming experience, rather than just pursuing user traffic. The difference between issuing new tokens and using GMT is not big, and the team prefers to view GMT tokens as a long-term empowerment tool. In addition, they also expressed their optimism about the social field, believing that the future user market will focus more on behavioral social interaction, that is, interacting in a constructive social environment, which will attract more people to come together.
