Hive Chain News

For all the developers out there, @arcange has released a .NET library for calling Hive APIs. This means C# and VB.NET developers can easily start building Hive-powered apps. Previously only Python, JavaScript, and I think Ruby were well supported. [info] If you appreciate this, vote @arcange for witness!

Also this week, @martibis, who's part of the @pinmapple/@haveyoubeenhere team, published an amazing post and unveiled a cute app called Buymeberries. It allows for creating buttons to receive Hive tips/donations. Like this!

Hive-Powered Games

Hive is home to a growing number of blockchain games. Many of these games are free to play. All you need is a Hive wallet. Here's a quick summary of the Hive game landscape.

dCity, Hive's city manager game, added new options for customizing the appearance of your city. They also announced a contest for graphic designers with 2000 Hive prize pool. [info]

Hash Kings, a cannabis growing manager game created by @qwoyn, relaunched in BETA this week. Players of Hash Kings cultivate and recreate their favorite cannabis strains. It's always great to see new apps popping up on Hive! [info]

Holybread, launches Season Zero on 11/22. After months of revamping the entire game, Holybread prepares to relaunch. There is talk of a 1000 Hive prize pool for season 0 players. In-game items acquired in Season Zero will not be transferrable to the live world. The live world is the permanent world which doesn't start or end. Season 1 and beyond will allow some items to be exported back to the live world. [info]

Rabona, Hive's football manager game, shared a roadmap update this week. The team plans to add features in the coming months: Tournaments, Bank of Rabona, and Shareholders. The banking system will allow players to stake RBN in return for dividends. Shareholders will be able to own shares of a football club and share the RBC income. [info]

Hive-Powered dApps

Hive powers a growing number of decentralized apps (dApps). Since they all live on the same chain, one Hive account can be used to access every app. Here's a quick summary of the Hive app landscape.

DBuzz made some bug fixes this week and announced a top secret feature claimed to change how we collaborate and communicate. They aren't talking about these two new options for payout and Twitter?
