Even William Mougayar, the Author of “The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice And Application Of The Next Internet Technology” and one of the special advisor of EthereumFoundation also participated on the pre-sale and tweeted about it.
Just like CryptoKitties, every wizard you summon at Cheeze Wizards is a non-fungible token, uniquely created or modified genetically on Ethereum blockchain using ERC-721. An advanced ETH token protocol suitable for non-fungible assets, mostly used for copyright, digital arts licensing & patenting purposes.
According to their website, Cheeze Wizards is a tournament. Players have to summon wizards to compete and every wizard added to the population will increase the size of the Big Cheeze (the reward for players who’ll win the tournament).
Wizards battle on PvP duels and will absorb a percentage of the power from its opponent to power-up its own until there is only one wizard remaining (The Big Cheeze), who’ll get the Ether that was accumulated within the game as a reward.
The best thing here is Dapper Labs also created their own Ethereum wallet called Dapper. You can use the wallet to buy crypto collectibles on blockchain-based games develop by Dapper Labs using a credit card and the advantage of being free from gas fees because it is totally covered by Dapper wallet itself. So, it’s an important feature for gamers.
Developers of the game aim to provide anyone who has a cryptocurrency. A use-case in which they can fully utilize their crypto holdings in a fun and meaningful way more than just holding the coin and waiting for its price to go up.
According to Dapper Labs blog post on Medium. “Cheeze Wizards is as much an experiment as it is a game.”
The game was created and designed for extensibility. And by having such experience with CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs wanted the whole gameplay to be so unique even though there still challenges along the way in creating blockchain-based game products they are still confident that by supporting third-party developers ideas, projects & tools, Cheeze Wizards will grow into something more than just being a battle royale game.
“What will lift cryptocurrency prices up is not more funds, token sales or speculations. Rather, it will be entrepreneurs delivering on their projects with real technology and addicted users.” - William Mougayar, Author of The Business Blockchain
