Infinite Seas Studios and the Vision for Onchain Gaming

Infinite Seas elevates game economic freedom to the next level.

Infinite Seas Studios (♾️,🌊)

Infinite Seas Studios is crafting a fully onchain maritime trading, battling, and diplomatic MMO game. Our aim is to build a game that fosters micro-transactions and player-to-player trading, all powered by our AMM infrastructure and backend onchain engine that accelerates our game development and allows us to expand fast. We want to create a game economy that is not only immersive but also has a tangible impact on the real-world economy.

As a team of dedicated MMO enthusiasts, we draw inspiration from classics like Heroes of Might and Magic, RuneScape, Age of Empires II, Uncharted Waters IV, and conquest.eth. We're committed to creating a world not just to play in, but to live in. We're not another Ponzi game; we are gamers at heart who are passionate about building sustainable games with real traction. Through innovative trading mechanics and strategic alliances, we aim to offer a unique gaming experience.

We believe the most exciting fully on-chain games should be infinite, defined by non-session gameplay and infinitely large maps, with an open economy design. Such worlds can truly be called autonomous worlds, where the game environment evolves and thrives on its own.

Why an Infinite Game? 🌍

• Non-session: Blockchain as an autonomous backend should be used to create games that are running continuously and in a trustless way.

• Infinitely Large Map: An infinitely big map works like cross-sever games do in traditional gaming. An infinitely big map is the cornerstone of creating a new-comer friendly open world pvp game. Newcomers are able to join games anywhere on the map, they can choose the island coordinates where they would most like to start their journey.

Why an Open Economy? 💵

• Blockchain offers a great environment for micro-transactions between players. We aim to create a game that players are encouraged to trade game assets with each other just like real world maritime trading between ports.

• A well-designed game naturally incorporates token mechanics. In our game, every craft, resource, and piece of game data is tradable. Players must sail to islands and other ships to offload their inventory.

Why Maritime? 🌊

• We chose a maritime theme since it creates rich opportunities for in-game trading and also aligns well with both the open economy and infinite game concepts. The ocean acts as a natural barrier, integrating into trading mechanics and promoting exploration and trading. This setting mirrors the decentralized trading core to blockchain technology. It enhances the immersive experience and perfectly embodies the principles of an open economy and an infinite game.

Game Economy Design Philosophy 📙

We believe in order to create a sustainable and engaging game economy, we need to design the economy as a dissipative structure. Dissipative structure is a thermodynamics concept which is understood to be the spontaneous emergence of order and structure through the organization and flow of energy. In our game design, the flow of resources and player actions drive the emergence of complex economic behaviors and structures.🚰

• Closed System: The entire world is a closed system where the overall resources and energy are finite, similar to our planet. Players are continuously bathed in the arrow of time and low entropy sunlight that allow for the complexity and order of raw materials and life to emerge and increase. This implies that everything within the game must adhere to conservation laws where nothing is lost but transformed from one form to another. This setup helps create a sustainable environment, ensuring every action has a consequence, adding depth and realism to economic interactions.

• Open System: The islands owned by players operate as open systems within this closed world. They can interact with and impact each other through exchanges of matter and energy (e.g., trading resources or energy). This allows for dynamic interactions between players, such as trade and diplomacy, affecting the local economies on individual islands based on players’ actions.

There are 4 ways of how our game economy design fits in with the natural law:

1. The game economy operates as a system that transforms low-entropy raw materials (like sunlight, resources, and creatures) into high-entropy wastes (such as weapons, boats, consumables, and buildings) through activities like crafting, smithing, and cooking. This transformation satisfies players' needs and desires. As players engage in these behaviors, entropy is emitted, enhancing the complexity of the world over time, in alignment with the arrow of time, making each action and its consequences progressively more impactful.

2. The order in the economic system can only be maintained by a steady stream of low-entropy materials and energy.

3. All game economic production is based on the resources provided by nature.

4. Whatever players produce must eventually decay, fall apart, or dissipate, returning as waste to nature.

Journey into the Infinite Seas 🗺️

You, as a player, will start your journey in "Infinite Seas" at the dawn of seafaring. Each island is a fresh start in an old world, waiting for you to shape its path. The world is inhabited by three unique races inspired by AoE:

• the Britons (wood race),

• the Huns (ore race),

• and the Mayans (seed race).

As you play, your choices will push your island through different historical times, letting you create unique cultures, technologies, and specialty goods. This game lets you guide your people from the ancient past to a future you shape.

As you build a lasting legacy on the shifting seas, blockchain technology ensure you can control a self-owned trading system, which allowing you to customize the Automated Market Maker (AMM) trading rules to boost your diplomacy and even launch your own token to govern your diplomacy and trade. The integration of blockchain adds a lot of strategic depth, making your in-game decisions truly impactful.
