Hello everyone, if you don't know what MoonKarts is, short answer: it is a Web3 Racing Game on the Hive Blockchain. You can learn more about this game in its whitepaper.
If you have played or are currently playing this game, you know that when you want to find a match in the Multiplayer mode, sometimes it takes less than 1 minute to find one, but other times it takes a long time as shown in the screenshot below, more than 5 minutes for a match is too much, so while I was waiting, I came up with some ideas that can can grow the player base and therefore find matches faster.
Screenshot taken from the game
1. PRACTICE
First of all, when you enter the game you need to buy a Kart and a Driver in order to play, all good, but why is it not possible to test the kart before buying it in Single Player Mode (where there are no rewards)?
It would be a good idea to have all the Karts and Drivers available to practice, so that the player can know how fast the Karts can go depending on their rarity, because it is not the same to play with a common Kart (very slow) than with an epic or legendary kart. Knowing the performance of the items and the qualities of the kart and the driver is very useful before buying anything.
2. PLAYING AGAINST BOTS
As I mentioned before, finding a match can take several minutes, so in order not to discourage players, it might be a good idea that at a certain minute, say 2 or 3, you can have the option to Play VS Bots (with less rewards).
I don't really know how difficult it is to implement bots in games, maybe "easy bots" are quick to implement.
If this happens, there may be players who want to take advantage of it, winning against the bots and getting rewards quite easily. As a result, the more players know about this and enter the game, the easier it will be to find games between them.
3. TOURNAMENTS (Splinterlands and Moon Karts)
It's a fact that many Splinterlands players don't know about Moonkarts, so why not create tournaments in Splinterlands where the prize is karts, drivers or colony tokens?. In this way, MoonKarts will become more popular.
And why not do the same in Moonkarts by creating tournaments with prizes of cards, DEC or SPS for Splinterlands. This way both games can help each other grow, as they are both part of the Arcade Colony platform.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I really think Moon Karts has the potential to become one of the best crypto games, its gameplay is really good and many mechanics can be implemented into it, which can make it a much more challenging racing game.
But for that, we first need a consistent player base, I hope at least one of the ideas presented in this post will help achieve that goal. Let's not let this game die like so many others.
That's all for now. See you, take care!
