AI can flood the market: ArenaX Labs co-founder

Wei Xi, founder of Arenax Labs – the company behind the AI ​​battle training game AI Arena – believes that artificial intelligence can help small game companies compete with the industry's giants. But he warned that it could disrupt the entire game economy.

“AI will create a slightly more level playing field for small companies or teams, allowing them to compete with much larger enterprises with vast resources. This could usher in a renaissance for indie games,” Xie tells Web3 Gamer.

“We see a future where small teams can develop amazing games at a lower cost and faster. This trend is clear and shows no signs of slowing down,” he added.

He argues that AI will “expand the capabilities” that game companies have to develop games, allowing the “freakless creation” of new characters and environments.

However, conflict often acts as a balance in the game economy to balance competition in the industry. It allows for market equilibrium when resources are scarce – such as expensive developers – and there is fair competition to create great games.

“Traditionally, as a judge, the arbitration of competing forces and ensuring balance in the economy, the elimination of conflict can create serious headaches in terms of economic design,” he said.

If AI makes everything too easy, there is a risk of flooding the market with too many games and creating a supply of developers that are no longer needed.

He added: “In web3 gaming, where games are funded, this can distort the supply and demand curve significantly, making it a challenge.”

Another issue is companies using off-the-shelf AI solutions to build games without understanding what's going on under the hood.

“This can lead to interesting technical challenges that cannot be overcome, or hidden issues using AI in the context of a game, making it difficult to fix after the game goes live or broadcast to an audience,” he explains.

Arenax's player-versus-player fighting game AI Arena claims to be the first game to integrate human and AI cooperation.

Xie paints it as a cross between the classic fighting games Super Smash Bros and Pokemon, except that it trains super-intelligent AI characters to play properly.

“In the context of the AI ​​Arena, human players are training AI models to play the same games through a process called imitation learning. The AI ​​learns by watching and observing the actions of the human player.

Although it's not really your business, it's worth a look just to see how our jobs will disappear in the next decade.

The game was launched on May 1st and airdrop competition was held in 9 days with over 700,000 battles.

Crush dreams from home, Sandbox collaborates with voice.

Ever wanted to be in one of the vocal chairs and make the singer's dream come true or crush it completely?

If you've missed a singing competition, The Voice is usually where contestants clip themselves out of their regular office jobs, then go on stage and blow up the room, get a standing ovation, get slammed by one or all four celebrity judges. buzzer, and then spin their chairs to get their first glimpse of the man behind the sound.

And then a year later, most of the contestants returned to the same office job.

Does it sound interesting? Well, now you can get a taste of being a judge and play with new TV series.

In collaboration with Virtual Brand Group and ITV Studio, Sandbox introduced “Voice Trainer Battle”, which is a “web 3 game adventure”.

“Just like on a TV show, players have to choose music, choose a fabulous wardrobe, choose stage lighting and give advice to their artist at every stage. Players also have to complete quizzes on the real celebrity coaches of the TV show,” he said in a recent statement.

So not only can you play games, but you can practice some pretty important life skills like mentoring, difficult conversations (if you've got a dude singer), and artist management.

Non-vulnerable Tokens (NFTs) are offered to coincide with each new sound series.

If you correctly predict which contestants will make it through the elimination rounds each week on the actual show on NBC, you'll earn a special NFT.

But that means you have to sit and watch the audio…

Hot Take: Duet Monsters

At first, Duet Monsters may seem like a children's game with its catchy musical tunes and overall look. But Fruit Falling from the Sky kept me hooked for longer than I expected.

The alpha version of the mobile dual rhythm music game released on May 9 is a collaboration between Sky Mavis – the creators of the beloved game Axi Infinity – and Cadenverse.

In short, you are responsible for controlling two axes, making sure they catch the falling nuts in their mouths.

Even though I've covered 99% of the game now, I'll continue.

The screen is divided into two halves. At first, you need to focus on one axis at a time, keeping the fruit in the mouth on one side of the screen. But as you progress, you have to multitask and join both Axies at once.

Simple, right? But then it gets a little faster and faster, the fruit finally falls for both Axies at the same time.

Each fruit held in the mouth plays a musical note. So, amidst the increasing pressure and stress of the game, you're humming a funny tune in the background.

If you have a Ronin Wallet and 2 Axie NFTs, you can earn up to 3,000 AXP and 20 SLP daily. If not, you can play as a guest without linking your wallet, but you won't get any crypto rewards.

It's a much simpler game than Axie Infinity by Sky Mavis, but it has a bit of a guitar hero vibe, with musical elements and the action of moving Ax around to grab the fruit and create music.

Every time I lost, it gave me that “one” feeling you get from arcade games like Stacker – a game where you have to stack blocks to the top row to get a prize.

How hard can it be to feed two furry creatures that drop fruit?

There's also a leaderboard for the top 1,000 players from around the world, so it's a great opportunity to jump into the game early and see if you can get a spot on the leaderboard.
