The metaverse is Unbanked Newsletter For a weekly level up on the NFT and on-chain frontier
Dear unbanked nations,
Two sci-fi games I’m a fan of are Eve Online and Stellaris. Don’t ask me how many hours I played! 😅
For our part, we are deeply into the cryptocurrency gaming scene and the Starknet gaming ecosystem is one of my favorites.
The project I am watching with great interest here is: effectIt’s a space strategy colonization game that’s like a complete on-chain cross between Eve Online and Stellaris.
idea? In Influence, players compete to dominate and control a newly formed colony within the Adalian asteroid belt. The game’s pre-release is open and playable until April 10th, and with a full release scheduled for soon, now is a great time to jump in.
But don’t know where to start? don’t worry. I asked Jean Paul FarageAs one of Influence’s developers, he wanted to create a beginner’s guide to the game and he kindly agreed.
Jean-Paul’s primer will teach you how to survive and thrive in Adalia and earn $SWAY, the in-game currency for Influence, coming later this year! 👇

game play effect It consists of resource gathering, trade, and player-driven diplomacy.
Players must make strategic decisions to expand their territories, establish trade routes, utilize resources, and build infrastructure and industry to create wealth and influence within the game world.
There are many different ways to play, but competitive play, whether solo or co-op, is all about finding your own unique niche and striving to control your own part of the economy within Adalia.
Influence is a slow-paced game where every action has a big impact and players always have a variety of choices to make.
Players take on the roles of a set of crew members within one or multiple crews made up of five basic classes. Miners, merchants, engineers, scientists, and pilot.
You can combine these classes to form your crew, and the adventure begins from there. One thing to keep in mind: More of one class can perform the target task more efficiently, but other classes will be slower and less efficient..
The game’s setting is within a realistic asteroid belt, and each asteroid has a unique orbital mechanism that guides its orbit in real time, allowing players to make strategic decisions about when and where to move within the game based on their current or future location. asteroid.
There are nearly 200 individually player-created items, from ship hulls and electronics to extractors and warehouses.
Each product may require dozens of processes to refine, manufacture, and create. These are all modeled based on reality, and adjustments have been made to ensure fun gameplay. A degree in chemistry, mechanical, electrical engineering, or organic chemistry is not required, but it may help!
Influence provides realistic economic dynamics, as players must organize and collaborate on where to mine specific resources, how to ship goods across belts of ships, and how to form liquid markets to supply the demands of other players. You will have it. This gameplay element allows players to discover opportunities wherever they are. Find what you need and fill in the gaps!
A slow-paced, highly strategic game, Influence is designed to be played over months, even years, and your goals are determined by you.
Each choice has many potential consequences, and the actions you take only account for a small portion of the fun in the game. Also, everything takes time to complete. Building something is not instantaneous and, depending on your crew, can take well over a day to complete. This includes flights across the belt, as flights can take up to a month in real time.
Influence is a sandbox environment. This means that it is non-linear and the story you will play is not predetermined. Additionally, Influence is a persistent, on-chain world, providing permanence as characters and game items all exist on a public blockchain infrastructure via Starknet.
This on-chainness allows games to continue and be built regardless of maintenance by creator studios, and since all work is on-chain, players have deep insight and access to all game actions taken. We will see stories of economic warfare, sabotage, espionage, and the rise and fall of empires, all on-chain where everyone can participate in any way they wish.

$SWAY Inflation is released programmatically through “governors”. Simply put, inflation occurs periodically, with the amount increasing or decreasing in the amount of $SWAY being used by the player base at any given time. The higher the usage compared to the previous period, the more emissions are generated. If $SWAY usage is low during the next period, it will revert to baseline.
