Back in March 2018 Unity Asset Store announced that "The Enjin SDK is coming to the Asset Store!" since then it has been a discussion over our crypto gamers community group new game devs been asking about it and looking for a good Ethereum SDK, and finally the world’s most powerful blockchain game development platform will soon be live on the world’s largest game engine.
Unity is the world’s most popular game engine, home to over 4.5 million developers and responsible for 28 billion game installs on 3 billion devices.
As announced today over Enjins official blog, Enjin will be launching the Testnet version of their Blockchain SDK for Unity just in time to demo it at world’s largest game industry event — GDC! Prior to GDC on the 18th of March, Unity & Enjin will be launching an aggressive co-marketing campaign to gain maximum traction among Unity’s community of millions of leading-edge developers, Unity will add the Blockchain SDK to the front page of its Asset Store, putting Enjin’s powerful blockchain game development tools into the hands of millions of Unity developers.
Blockchain SDK will enable you to:
Enjin's Blockchain SDK for Unity will enable developers to integrate blockchain assets into games for over 25 mass market platforms, including Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, Microsoft and many others.
Enjin's Blockchain SDK will enable game and app developers to create and integrate next-generation ERC-1155 blockchain assets into their games and manage their distribution with ease.
Create Proven Scarcity: Because blockchain assets can be transparently verified through EnjinX blockchain explorer, items cannot be counterfeited, and their rarity cannot be falsified. Your community will always trust information authenticated by the blockchain.
Create a Multiverse: Integrate shared gaming items that can be utilized across all of your games.
Join a Multiverse: Collaborate with other developers to integrate items from their games, and vice versa.
Galvanize Communities: Vertically integrate blockchain asset giveaways into your social media channels and community chat rooms.
Reach New Audiences: Partner with streamers and content creators to design assets they can give away or sell to their audience members, who will then be motivated to use those items in your game.
Back Your Game with Enjin Coin: Provide your players with real-world value by backing your items with Enjin Coin (ENJ). Players that earn blockchain assets can “melt” them to extract the ENJ from within, trade it for Bitcoin, use it to buy gift cards from 100+ major brands, or even use it to hail an Uber.
Crowdfund Your Project: Adopters of the Enjin Platform have used blockchain assets to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars prior to launching their games. Because they are stored, managed and protected on a decentralized ledger, you can sell blockchain-based gaming items now and provide them immediately to your players via the Enjin Wallet. Players can then freely trade or sell these items and use them once your game is live.
Leverage Peer-to-Peer Markets: The Blockchain SDK enables you to create free markets that still drive revenue back to you. Players want to truly own their items, part of that ownership entails giving them the right of free trade. However, blockchain assets provide direct financial benefits from these transactions. As a form of profit sharing, you can add transfer fees to all of your blockchain assets and because all transfers are enforced by the blockchain, players will pay these fees whether they trade through regulated in-game markets, through online chat rooms, or by meeting face to face.
Close Third-Party Markets: If the thought of a free market doesn’t interest you, the blockchain offers the ultimate protection against it. As mentioned above, all transfers of blockchain assets are enforced by the blockchain—therefore, if you only want users to be able to trade through your marketplace (or not at all), there are smart contracts available that provide this option.
End Chargebacks and Fraud: The transparency of the blockchain gives you new tools to fight against fraudulent activity. Because all blockchain transactions can be publicly verified through an explorer, you can dispute chargebacks by providing irrefutable evidence that delivery of items was successful — or you can avoid chargebacks altogether by accepting cryptocurrencies instead of credit cards.
To date, more than 45 games, apps, and websites have adopted ERC-1155, many of which have opted to share select assets—enabling users to utilize their virtual item inventory across multiple games and platforms. Known as the “Multi Token Standard,” ERC-1155 enables developers to create unlimited fungible (identical) and non-fungible (unique) assets with a single smart contract — resulting in faster transaction times, significantly lower gas fees, and the ability to mass produce tokens with minimal effort.
