<p>Blockchain gaming looks to its underlying technology to expand the possibilities for players. The reality is that many such games fall short, but Pixels is one Web3 game looking to reach for the stars. Probably the project's most important feature is its focus on integration.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>The Basics of Pixels</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At its core, Pixels, which just moved to the <a href="https://funjible.games/games?blockchain=Ronin&amp;sortBy=4">Ronin blockchain</a>, is a colorful, pixel-based game of resource management. Players create a farm on a plot of land and then plant crops, harvest resources, learn skills, and upgrade and customize their farm over time. Players can choose to use a piece of land for free (called a Speck) or choose to rent or buy a small or large piece of land. Naturally, players owning land will generate the most resources, followed by renters and then by players farming their free plot of land. So where does integration come into play?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg" alt="pixels-land-small.jpg" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 156w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_pixels_land_small_15c65e2fe9.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>Well, Pixels has taken the innovative step of integrating other NFT collections into its platform. There are over 50 NFT collections currently integrated into the game, such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Chibi Dinos, Crypto Zombiez, Cyber Snails, and Grillz Gang. This integration allows for players to adventure through Pixels using their NFT as their avatar. However, the game integrating such NFTs is just the beginning.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><strong>Integration Hits the Next Level</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pixels' tooling allows for the integration of tokens, land NFTs, utility NFTs, and PFP NFTs from other projects. Other games and platforms can create their own world within Pixels that is unique for players to experience. The game can support multiple tokens in its own store, and, thus, allow other projects to create their own store within Pixels. The game even provides a burn mechanism in-game, if needed, for external tokens.</p><p>So how does this integration pan out? Well, players can look forward to being able to enjoy many different types of gaming experiences within the <a href="https://funjible.games/games/Pixels">Pixels</a> metaverse. Each project can create its own gameplay mechanics, quests, NPCs, themes, utilities, and more. For example, one project can create a racing game using various mythological beasts while another project creates a post-apocalyptic mmorpg where players struggle for survival. Another project can host a virtual carnival, filled with games and attractions for players to partake of.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i6dt095woS8?si=NTGGWNRkyhHdPw3R" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each individual project integrated into Pixels can offer a unique experience to the player. A gamer can carry their inventory into every new world, but it is not a given that inventory items will work in that world. Also, a player will accrue experience in each unique world that will be separate from all other worlds. This means that a player can be of the highest level in the post-apocalyptic mmorpg discussed above but will be of zero experience when first entering the imagined racing world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>What Is the Overall Goal?</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The developers of Pixels note that earlier blockchain games focused on financial speculation as players joined a game to hopefully make some money. However, Pixels focuses on providing a fun and rewarding experience for players first and foremost. The goal is that playing Pixels is worthwhile in itself, but it's not a bad thing if a player could make some revenue as well.</p><p>The integration of other projects serves to expand the possible player base exponentially, not to mention the various kinds of gameplay modes as well. A player can use their favorite Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT in Pixels by playing the basic farming game, then choosing to enter a portal to a FPS project, followed by doing quests in a fantasy MMO, and so on. Each new project integration just expands the gaming possibilities for players, all the while owning everything they create.<br>&nbsp;</p>
