Fusionist: Strong technical ability is recognized by Unity, breaking through the "chain game skinning dilemma"
Looking at the past cycle, GameFi products have grown from scratch, from nascent to powerful, and this product category has undoubtedly created new use cases and product categories for the encrypted world. But all crypto investors are well aware of the fact that GameFi still has strong financial attributes, and its "game" attribute can only be said to be better than nothing.

Mecha, science fiction, simulated management, how to integrate classic elements and encryption?
Fusionist is a game that combines elements such as management simulation, turn-based combat, and SLG gameplay. It was officially announced in November last year. Currently, the official Discord community has 940,000 users and 840,000 Twitter followers.
In the world of Fusionist, the background of the game is set in 2800. Due to human greed and environmental deterioration, the earth is no longer suitable for living, which triggered a large-scale war.
This game adopts the theme of classic mechs and Odaily exploration, creating a rather macroscopic universe for players. Players will act as mecha commanders to manage their own Odaily, collect rare resources, upgrade technology, and manufacture mechas. The game is scheduled to be officially launched on the Steam platform at the end of 2023.
In most groups of players who are familiar with games, encryption and games have not been well integrated. In many player communities, many early GameFi products have also been criticized or ridiculed. On the other hand, Fusionist, with its triple-A game experience and excellent technical capabilities, showed us how "chain games" are capable of competing with traditional games.
In Fusionist, players can explore a universe full of unknowns and surprises. There are a variety of tasks and challenges waiting for players to complete in the game. In addition, there are a large number of collectible items and rare rewards for players to collect. Due to the nature of encryption, Fusionist also provides a complete economic system that allows players to trade and invest in the game.

The strong technical force has been officially praised by Unity. How can chain games compare with the traditional 3 A?
When the traditional GameFi sieges the city, the fact that GameFi is not fun has always troubled the vast majority of users. For developers, this may be more of an innate reason restricted by the encryption industry. In the encryption industry, strong finance and weak use cases have always been one of the characteristics of our emerging industry, and the lack of Web2 development experience also makes GameFi products lack the technical foundation to develop a "good game".
Fusionist is different. Currently, the project team has a total of 47 full-time members, all of whom are experienced practitioners in the game industry. This also provides it with a deep technical accumulation. They built the world of Fusionist on the basis of the already mature Unity engine in the industry, and adopted a large number of cutting-edge technologies. Including DOTS, six-sided lightmaps, etc., which provide realistic water bodies, clouds, explosions, and other exquisite graphics for their games.
I believe gamers have heard about HDR. Fusionist, on the other hand, uses HDRP technology to create a more physically realistic game world.
The so-called HDRP is High Definition Render Pipeline (High Definition Render Pipeline) technology, which is different from traditional HDR. More realistic picture effects.

Based on this technology, Fusionist also introduces Path Tracing, ScreenSpaceReflection, Layered Lit Material and many other technologies. These technologies can make the important objects in the game - the mecha - present more realistic lighting, materials, and rendering effects. Physically-based rendering also allows it to express more features. For example, the PBRmask texture is determined by the surface physical properties of the material, which can fully reflect details such as the wear and tear of the mecha.

In addition, Fusionist also reflects its excellent technical strength in terms of scalability. As a space MMO-SLG with global servers, the server needs to dynamically maintain hundreds of thousands of Entities in real time during peak hours. Netcode for Entities technology realizes real-time synchronization of front-end and back-end.
In the internal performance evaluation, an AWS c 6 a.xlarge server can support nearly a hundred Systems and hundreds of thousands of Entity-scale universe simulations. The Logic Ticket of the server is always maintained above 10 FPS.

The Endurance chain provides the underlying driver for Fusionist
An excellent blockchain game product naturally requires an excellent infrastructure. Not only can the team compete with traditional games in game development, Fusionist's Endurance blockchain is also quite good.
Endurance is a blockchain infrastructure designed to provide developers with a fast, efficient and scalable way to build decentralized applications, including games and social networking platforms.
Specifically, Endurance has several advantages. The first is its superior performance: Endurance employs a technique called "state compression" that compresses blockchain data into a smaller storage space. This allows Endurance to reduce storage requirements without sacrificing security and reliability, and to have higher throughput and lower latency.
In addition, its low-cost storage and higher network performance also provide a basis for supporting high-concurrency data processing. This makes it easier to execute high-volume transactions on gaming and social networking platforms.
Endurance provides developers with comprehensive supporting development tools, including SDK, API, and documentation. Its infrastructure supports its combination with modern AAA games. This is also its positive contribution to the industry, and it may allow blockchain game products to get rid of the status quo of purely financial simple game skinning.
Endurance's powerful infrastructure supports its combination with modern AAA games. This is also its positive contribution to the industry, and it may allow blockchain game products to get rid of the status quo of purely financial simple game skinning.
At present, Fusionist and Endurance have yet to disclose more information. Odaily will keep an eye on this project and keep an eye on its follow-up progress.
As a high-performance chain, Endurance can be used not only for gaming and social networking platforms, but also for various other applications. Its protocol supports a variety of use cases, including but not limited to finance, IoT, supply chain management, and more. Therefore, developers can use Endurance to build various dApps to meet the needs of different industries and fields.
