NFT games are far different than owning a (NFT) from CryptoPunks or EtherRocks in your wallet. Instead, NFT games add a new layer of complexity requiring some knowledge of the game’s rules, mechanics and player interactions.
Within each game, NFTs might be an object like a weapon or portion, or they might be the avatar you can use. The difference between NFTs and in-game assets in a traditional game comes down to your ability to exchange or trade these items with other players for a profit.
Swapping, creating and using NFTs in a game needs smart contracts to hold the rules for the digital asset. Each smart contract covers a self-executing piece of code that is stored on the blockchain. Gamers will likely come across multiple ways to earn, one of the main being in-game NFTs. In this scenario, rather than earning fungible tokens, gamers can earn NFTs that represent collectible items that can vary in worth depending on their rarity or usefulness in the game.
While the first NFT games released primarily offered in-game digital collectibles, newer games will use a combination of this and a play-to-earn structure, which provide gamers with an opportunity to earn a more steady income. With each game being set up differently, many non gamers or those new to the gaming world may find it to be a challenge to get started. To address both groups comes the release of a game known as Hewer Clan.
Hewer is a new NFT project built to “reach and welcome newcomers to the NFT space, as well as experienced NFT people,” according to their team. They continue by sharing, “at Hewer Clan, we want to unite utility with an asset that will keep appreciating, alongside a cool-looking art piece that you’ll be pleased to hold and have fun with the features each Hewer Tag unlocks for its holders.”
