Rhythm Dungeon: A Blockchain-based Music Roguelike Game
This addresses the problem of enabling asynchronous interactions among players in gaming, though it appears incremental in applying blockchain to a specific game genre.
The authors tackled the challenge of creating a decentralized gaming experience by developing Rhythm Dungeon, a rhythm-based roguelike game that uses blockchain as a shared database, resulting in a system where enemies and characters are generated and shared across multiple games via smart contracts.
Rhythm Dungeon is a rhythm game which leverages the blockchain as a shared open database. During the gaming session, the player explores a roguelike dungeon by inputting specific sequences in time to music rhythm. By integrating smart contract to the game program, the enemies through the venture are generated from other games which share the identical blockchain. On the other hand, the player may upload their characters at the end of their journey, so that their own character may appear in other games and make an influence. Rhythm Dungeon is designed and implemented to show the potential of decentralized gaming experience, which utilizes the blockchain to provide asynchronous interactions among massive players.
