Antonio Palma, from My Neighbor Alice, teases some significant updates that are on the way. The blockchain game has gained popularity since its launch in 2023, but the creators have larger ambitions. They want to expand My Neighbor Alice into a virtual universe that extends far beyond its current gameplay.
As per the game's business director, Antonio Palma, he discussed upcoming plans for users in the next year at the GeckoCon 2024 Web3 gaming event.
There may have been some information shared at the CoinGecko event regarding My Neighbor Alice and the cryptocurrency ALICE. It was mentioned that My Neighbor Alice is more than just a game and efforts are being made to expand it into a universe beyond the core game. One of the goals is to make the game accessible on all types of devices. Antonio tweeted about this on November 20, 2024.
During a panel discussion, Palma was asked to share some upcoming releases from the My Neighbor Alice team. He mentioned that there are three new features, or alphas, in development and they are expected to be launched by 2025.
To expand the game's reach, Palma and his team are developing a new technology for My Neighbor Alice that will allow it to be played on various devices, including mobile phones and tablets. While the specifics of this technology were not disclosed, it is likely to involve cloud-based streaming. This is important because the current requirements for the game include a PC with Windows 7 OS or newer, an Intel i5-6400/Ryzen 5 1600 processor or better, at least 8GB of RAM, 6GB of storage space, and a Nvidia or AMD GPU.
Palma mentioned that their game is among the first in the Web3 space to test out this technology. This new technology will enable their game to be accessible on any device, rather than being limited to just Windows.
The second part of the plan is to make the onboarding process more efficient, as it currently requires too much work for occasional gamers.
Palma explained that currently, there are seven steps required to access the game and begin playing, such as setting up a wallet and registering. However, they are working to streamline this process to just one click. They have been conducting tests on the complex technology and aim to have it ready by next year.
These improvements will make the game easier for players who are not familiar with cryptocurrency. My Neighbor Alice aims to appeal to this audience. The game is created to introduce new players to blockchain technology in a fun and engaging way, gradually familiarizing them with concepts like NFTs, wallets, and cryptocurrency.
The game is a virtual world based on the metaverse concept, similar to popular games like Minecraft and Animal Crossing. Players can create and explore virtual worlds, work together with others, and participate in activities like purchasing land, constructing buildings, collecting insects, farming, fishing, and beekeeping.
Within the game, different elements such as land, avatars, buildings, plants, trees, flowers, and animals are all depicted as NFTs. Players are given tools to customize their virtual worlds and alter the environment. Through the in-game marketplace, players can trade these items using ALICE tokens earned from missions, collaborations, and competitions. After creating their virtual worlds, players have the opportunity to generate income through various means.
Palma mentioned that significant changes are coming to the in-game economy. He did not provide much detail, only mentioning that they are currently testing a new system and there may be an announcement about it and the ALICE token next year.
Finally, My Neighbor Alice seems eager to use its position as a top Web3 game to collaborate with different industry players, potentially resulting in new partnerships and integrations in the near future.
"We have successfully formed a significant collaboration with a major intellectual property in the industry," stated Palma. "We have not revealed any details yet because we are still in the process of creating the experience, and we do not disclose information until we have a tangible product. However, this partnership is currently in development and will be announced soon."
