Players have voted and selected the winners of the Gam3r’s Choice Awards! With eighteen categories and dozens of nominees, this event brought a lot of gaming communities out to vote for their favorite games.

After giving players several weeks to cast their votes across a variety of categories, The Gam3r’s Choice Awards have announced their winners. With an in-person awards show in Miami, physical trophies, and a livestream of the event, Web Gam3r upped the ante in regards to web3 gaming awards!

Big Time was the big winner at these awards, taking no less than three categories, including Game of the Year!

Gam3r’s Awards Winners List

Here is the full list of winners.

Many of these winners are not especially surprising. Animoca Brands seems to have their hand in half of web3 gaming currently in development, and Gala Games has done nothing buy stay in the news recently with their acquisitions, releases, and other updates.

And with The Sandbox migrating to the Polygon chain, as well as well-known NFTs projects DeGods and y00ts, Polygon seems to be here to stay. Even with competition from Immutable X and other layer 2 or sidechain solutions.

But some of these winners are more obviously just game communities bombarding the system with votes, whether deserved or not. With a number of mobile, web3 games that you can actually play, Guild of Guardians, which has only shown us a couple of very limited (both in time and scope) alphas, doesn’t deserve this particular award, in my opinion Now don’t get me wrong! I’m looking forward to playing some GoG, and own several Founder NFTs myself. And I’m sure that they will earn many awards in the future. But with their current status, I wouldn’t have put them up for this particular award to begin with.

The Future of Gaming

It’s interesting that we still don’t have anything in the way of action-based sports game in web3 yet. All we have are the hybrid fantasy football / collectible card games such as SoRare. This seems like an opportunity for some bold developer. I expect that we’ll see someone coming to fill that void within the next year.

But these awards do show us the direction web3 gaming is heading. For the most part, we see active, high-quality games on the winner’s list. Browser based games are going to need to offer something special to compete with the detail and graphics offered by the more traditional game downloads.!

And the actual awards ceremony seemed to be enjoyed by the participants. I can see these awards becoming a bigger and bigger event as the web3 ecosystem grows and develops.

I’m looking forward to 2023, the year of blockchain gaming!

The build and earn segment on web3 gaming continues to gain traction. Today we bring you news of two new build and earn opportunities, one for creating a Sandbox asset with VoxEdit, the other a chance to create a Party for Blankos Block Party.

A growing segment of the web3 gaming world has begun to include build and earn opportunities. Normally modders for games are left to their own devices in regards to monetization. But in the web3 world, we see more events where those who can create useful or fun content for these games are rewarded.

Today we bring you two such contests that are open now. The winners will have their entries added to the associated game, and will also receive rewards.

As I was writing this article, The Sandbox and VoxEdit just announced yet another content creation contest! This one has the theme of “Cyber-Myth: Post-Human Age Goddesses”. Read the blog post for more information.

VoxEdit Folklore Contest

VoxEdit is the official asset creator/editor for The Sandbox. They have been holding regular contests for asset creators for some time. And, as the quality of entries improves, so do the rewards! The latest VoxEdit contest includes 15,000 SAND in prizes for the top 10 entries.

The theme for this contest is Folklore. They want creators to show us the mythical creatures of their homelands in voxel form! Submissions opened on January 23rd and close on February 5th, 11:59pm UTC. Reviews and voting runs from February 6th through the 19th, with results announced on February 25th. All entries must be made with VoxEdit and there are some other rules as well. Be sure to read the official contest post for details.

Players must submit a GIF of their animated asset (Gyazo is the recommended app for this task), make a tweet of the GIF using the hashtag #VoxEditWeekly and tag @VoxEdit and @TheSandboxGame. Then, as a final step, builders must fill out the official contest form.

Blankos Block Party Lunar New Year Build

Meanwhile, Blankos Block Party is holding a Lunar New Year themed build contest. To participate, players need to create a new Party, themed around the Lunar New Year or the Year of the Rabbit.

The submission for this contest runs from January 23rd to February 24th, 5pm PST. The team will hold an internal vote to choose the top two entries, and there will also be a community vote to choose their favorite. The winners will be announced on March 2nd. Then the games will be showcased on the official Blankos Twitch stream on March 17th, with rewards sent out soon after that.

Only one entry allowed per person. Read the official post for the full list of rules.

1st Place Prizes:

  • Grandmaster Jin Blanko
  • Year of the Ox Bell Accessory
  • Community Chrome Accessory
  • Heartbreaker’s Bunny Ears Accessory

2nd Place Prizes:

  • Grandmaster Jin Blanko
  • Community Chrome Accessory

This feature is accessible through Social option in the game menu. When in the lobby, a pop-up comes on the screen of players for better communication. These pop-ups will show whether the Party Leader is selecting a Brawl or a Party Bus. There is also an update in the chat window to fit all messages inside the window.

Blankos Block Party Friend Search

Target Mode

This update also comes with a new game mode – Target Mode. Players have to destroy the target dummies using a gun in this mode. The player who hits the most number of dummies wins the game. This timed, PvE game is available both in Party Bus and Brawl.

Other Updates

A number of other bugfixes and changes have been made, such as a fixes for several animations and some build mode issues. Also, players can no longer take damage when the party is over, in the pre-match lobby or in the party-start countdown. In addition, a brand new Inventory page has been added, which displays a player’s accessories and emotes.

In the GAM3 Awards of 2022, multiple web3 games and content creators were elected by the community as the best projects in one or more categories. The winners will share funds from a 1,000,000 prize pool. This is possible thanks to contributions, services & grants partners like Immutable X and Blockchain Game Alliance. Polkastarter Gaming organized the whole event.

More than 100 web3 projects encouraged their communities to vote for their projects in the GAM3 Awards of 2022 contest. This resulted in over 40,000 community members voting on their favorite projects and content creators resulting in a total of 250,000 votes across the 16 different categories. Thirty-two projects were filtered out of all the votes and below are the winners of each category on December 15th:

As for the content creator award, twenty-three web3 gaming content creators received nominations until the final voting day. But who took the prize home was Brycent, a Twitch streamer.

Besides being an awards event, many web3 games shared some alpha with their community members. An example of this was the project Blocklords. During the stream, they showed some gameplay for the first time ever.

This was a major event in Web3 Gaming. Justin Kan, Founder of Fractal, shared his thoughts and commented: “We are excited to partner with Polkastarter Gaming on this event, it is truly a step in the right direction for the industry, and the first of its kind in web3 gaming!”

Last Thoughts

The GAM3 Awards this year were one of the most expected events in the web3 gaming industry. A lot of enthusiasts took their time to vote on their favorite games. But, even though I agree with some of the awards, I am not sure it reflects accurately the best projects out there.

The projects who won are the ones that got the highest amount of votes. So, did the winners win because their product is the best in a specific category, or did they win because they have the largest community? Are GAM3 Awards about quality or about marketing and hype?

I can give you a few examples. Star Atlas won an award in the ‘Best Graphics’ category while they only have a very limited demo out. On the other hand Phantom Galaxies also has AAA graphics, maybe even better than Star Atlas’! It also has a lot of content, voice acting, quests, multiple areas to explore, gathering, combat, and different classes. Overall, it is light-years ahead of Star Atlas when it comes to development and quality and they did not win anything while both games fall into the Sci-fi, MMORPG genre. Maybe the graphics shown in Star Atlas demo are a bit better, but it is just a demo in a tiny area while Phantom Galaxies also has mind-blowing graphics in a much vaster area, where players can do a lot more than just walk around.

Personally, I think this is not fair and I also think that the awards should be distributed based on established criteria and not votes. Votes just represent which project has more hype and the largest community and is not directly related to the quality of a project.

When it comes to the number of people voting I think it is a positive sign. It indicates that there are more and more people interested in web3 gaming and that the industry is growing by the day.

It’s that time of year (if you live in a region that celebrates Halloween). But whether you celebrate this holiday or not, expect to see lots of special Halloween themed happenings over the next couple of weeks. Blankos Block Party joins in on the festivities with a special Halloween event and reward.

Blankos at Halloween

Holiday themed events, items, and skins are all popular, in gaming. So it’s no surprise to see similar events in web3 games. Blankos Block Party, a multiplayer experience featuring PvP Brawls and a public Junction for hanging out in, brings a Halloween themed event to their game.

The Halloween event begins on October 19th at 10am PDT (17:00 UTC). During the event, players collect Pumpkin Tokens during Brawl Parties and complete special challenges to earn an exclusive rewards. Players can earn up to 1,000 XP in daily rewards by participating in the event. They will also have the opportunity to win a Darkest Health Gumball. It’s unclear exactly how this works. It might be related to collecting the Pumpkin tokens? But, apparently this prize is a returning item from last year. This Gumball can be used to upgrade a Blanko or to change its color.

a Darkest Health Gumball

You should also expect a bit of a change to the hangout area known as the Junction. It may look a little different for the next couple of weeks! The Halloween event runs until November 2nd.

Blankos Block Party is currently in Season One and the Party Pass (battle pass) already offered spooky Halloween-themed skins as rewards. No word yet on whether Blankos will offer any trick-or-treating.

In addition, Blankos Block Party recently added 21 new Brawl Parties to their Brawl rotation. All created by players, these selections offer a wide variety of new environments to play in. From a wrestling ring to a race over a lava pit to a sushi battle, these new maps should bring some new life to the game for those who have worn out their interest in the existing maps.

Voxie Tactics Season 0

Voxie Tactics banner

Voxie Tactics Season 0 launches on October 10th, with weekly leaderboards, a rental system, and opportunities to play and earn. This squad-based, fantasy, tactical combat game could solidify itself as a long-term web3 game.

Voxie Tactics is free to play so go have a look at it.

This week’s top games by active users remains almost unchanged from last week. Let’s look at the data and see how the different projects are doing and how the NFT market is holding up.

Gameta is still on the top of the chart, and by quite a stretch. What could be worrisome is that we are seeing a decline in the player base for almost all of the top projects. Players might be flocking to other games, spreading the player base while the space is still struggling to attract more users from traditional gaming. Hopefully, we will see this trend reverse with the upcoming AAA releases planned for the end of the year. A crypto market pump might also be helpful to attract players, but that might take some time given the current economic conditions. Anyway, now is still a great time to test new games, and farm tokens and NFTs while having fun.

With trading volumes still trailing down, the NFT market is still trying to find its way. The RENGA collection by the artist Dirty Robot seems to be the hype trade of the week. We also notice the comeback of Doodles with their v4 collection and Azuki with a nice spike in trading volume.

What is Blankos Block Party?

Blankos Block Party is a NFT-powered open-world multiplayer game that allows players to equip character NFTs, personalize and upgrade characters and use them to earn rewards by completing daily combat challenges. The Blankos are digital assets stored on the EOSIO blockchain as NFTs and will be owned exclusively by players. 

Players can sell the Blankos within the in-game mythical market and also customize them with loot and clothing. Blankos has two currencies – Blankos Bucks and Moola. Blankos Bucks is the in-game currency that can be acquired by purchasing items from the in-game store. Moola is the game’s underlying currency that can be acquired by completing challenges and participating in giveaways.
