Moonray is a relic-game designed to benefit from the use of the Stacks platform to create smart contracts for Bitcoin. The games are built for the future and are built to keep in mind that the network is secure. NFTs have taken off this year. They use the security and transparency of the digital ledger of blockchain to authenticate digital items. Animoca Brands led the event, and with participation from other top angels and funds like GBV Capital, Metavest Capital, LD Capital and Lucid Blue Ventures. These funds will be used to research and development for building an NFT marketplace, which allows players to buy, sell and trade unique players’ collection, weapons and skins, to create and use online games. Moonray plans to create an economy where players have real financial stake in their own purchases, and players can purchase digital items using cryptocurrencies and credit cards, with potential buyer success. Moonray is going to go out in 2022. Image Credit: Moonray PBC Moonray CEO Rodrigo Etcheto said that the company has 25 employees and aims to get above the 50. Moonray wants to provide a unique gaming experience for all players to enter an intergalactic world where they can not only choose their own destiny, but also own it. Moonray PBC’s money will fund a NFT marketplace, where players can buy, sell and trade unique in-game items such as weapons and skins. By acquiring the NFT marketplace with the game itself, Moonray allows users to establish digital economies in the game, where they can buy their digital items and make trades easily between players. Players can buy digital items with Bitcoin and then credit cards. Moonray is a cryptocurrency via Stacks and works like a network of Bitcoins. It is more than just putting something in VR or AR, build a game in the metaverse, there must be a real economy where players can have a real financial stake in the things they own, said Etcheto in a statement. In the past, players found roundabout ways of trading digital goods and we’re trying to make a difference between them and exchange a few items. When our marketplace becomes fully operational, we will feature Lightning Network integration, BTC payments and NFTs that have the capability to earn BTC yield. Yat Siu, executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said in a statement that Blockchain games are rapidly evolving. Moonray is the leader of the change and created a far-future RPG experience that is unlikely to be unlike what most players have ever seen on the blockchain. We are very excited as long as Moonray is demonstrating its capability based on a three-day multiplayer experience. Moonray and Moonray announced that it will launch when players have access to the NFT marketplace in March 2022. Moonray PBC uses the unreal Engine and Stacks to create the game, with the highest-end graphics, algorithmic generation of asset, a engaging storyline, Bitcoin integration, player-versus-player and co-op combat. We wanted to take game by new creative direction with a surreal approach already finished, and bring the token economy in order to maintain gameplay, rather than focus in gameplay, said Etcheto. We’ve got a talented team in class that is building a very rich world with a very deep storyline and lore. We are building a new intellectual property that can grow for years. We believe that the metaverse is curated so it has a clear artistic vision.
