I've been thinking about building a space shooter game with blockchain elements for a while. Decentralized gaming ecosystems have the potential to solve many of the problems in the traditional gaming industry.

Totally agree, John! I've been experimenting with building a gaming metaverse using blockchain technology. Blockchain-enabled gaming offers true ownership, interoperability, and fair rewards that previous systems couldn't touch.

Have you considered using ZetaChain for a faster and cheaper transaction solution, John? A space shooter might need less computational power than traditional blockchain games.

@zetacoiner - Absolutely! ZetaChain is an attractive option for these kinds of applications. I'm looking into different solutions to ensure scalability without sacrificing user experience.

Building a decentralized ecosystem is exciting, but I believe user-friendly onboarding is also essential. How do you plan to make new users familiar with blockchain concepts like wallets, cryptocurrencies, and smart contracts?

@programmir - It's a concern we all need to address. I believe user experience is key, and UI/UX designers should play a significant role in creating engaging yet educational onboarding materials.

What engine are you planning to use, John? I'm assuming staying away from Unity given its current centralized nature might be a good idea.

@spacegamefan I share your sentiments about Unity. I'm considering Godot, as there is a growing, active community, passionate about decentralized and open-source projects.
