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, published an update to the game this week which added Lobbying mechanics. By spending SIM tokens on lobbyists, players can boost income from some cards, as well as influence war taxes and rewards for holding SIM. [info]

Holybread, a fantasy-genre dungeon crawling game, rebranded to Thunkgaria and launched Season Zero this week. The game now uses an off-chain login system which is meant to make it easier to play with non-Hive-users. [info]

Rabona, Hive's football manager game, added two new buildings this week: Hotel and Parking Lot. These buildings are meant to help generate RBN income for casual players. [info]

Splinterlands released an Android app in the Google Play Store. The app enables a rich mobile gaming experience for Splinterlands players, superior to the mobile website version. [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 improvements to their pre-release version this week. Buzzes with max payout set to 0 will also add @null as beneficiary. When a reply exceeds 280 characters, @DBuzz will now show the first 280 characters. Previously, only a warning message would be shown, and the reply could only be seen on another Hive frontend. [info]

Ecency released some new features this week. Featured topics are shown on the home page, and new pages are added for witnesses and proposals. [info]

Team PeakD released an open source extension for the Hivemind API. Hivemind is the API which servers up various content and data displayed on Hive front ends. This extension enables nodes to provide additional data required for PeakD features: Favorites, Lists, Badges. PeakD also added a "Curated Content" page for communities. And, improved support for Mixcloud and Spotify media embeds. [info]
