Metaverse gaming just stepped up a notch with the inaugural release from GamerHash. Traverse: Mars is Mine combines engrossing gameplay with the opportunity to earn real rewards and accumulate in-game NFTs.
So, how does it work, and is it really that easy to earn crypto with just your computer? This guide covers everything you need to know about Traverse and its place in the GameFi ecosystem.
What is Traverse: Mars is Mine?
The Traverse is GamerHash’s first game, of which two of three parts are released. The action-adventure metaverse game takes place on Mars. In partnership with The Sandbox, the interactive game features a brand hero named Astro, sinister-looking reptilians, and a degenerate monkey within a timeless landscape inspired by Martian conspiracies and cult leaders. To find your team and escape, you must form alliances, solve mysteries, and mine GHXium.
The GamerHash vision is not just to create a game. Instead, the team is building an interactive and immersive world. Check out the game trailer below.
Gameplay
Traverse was broken up into three distinct chapters, of which two were released during The Sandbox’s May Fiesta. The third and final chapter will be released during the Alpha Season.
The team behind Traverse explained the reason for the decision to create a mini-trilogy: behind the scenes, while still in development, the game expanded to be more intricate and wide-ranging than initially envisaged.
“As the world of the game grew, so did the demands upon the land and technology it was built open,” explained Artur Pszczółkowski, Chief Marketing Officer and VP of GamerHash.
“This was the only way we could bring the full game experience to our players without comprising load time or gameplay. Instead of bringing Traverse out in one 2X2 plot as we had planned, we ended up using three such plots—one-third of our entire metaverse land holdings! This is a reflection of our passion for the game.”
The gameplay is certainly multi-layered. Different groups within the game are hostile to one another and share the same agenda. Scientists choose brains over brawn and spend their time unraveling the mystery of the universe. Elsewhere, underground miners work hard to mine GHXium. Another game element introduces Labs where “mysteries are wrapped within mysteries.” The Museum of Things houses the greatest artifacts gathered in the ecosystem and is where the Reptilian Scientists await.
The team behind Traverse
Traverse is the first game by GamerHash, a Polish blockchain firm founded in 2017. The studio’s aim is simple: to build the best games in the metaverse. CEO and founder Patryk Pusch is an entrepreneur focused on gaming and blockchain technology. Alongside Pusch, co-founder Radek Rosiak has worked to drive forward and maintain the focus of the project. The goal continues to push the boundaries of web3 gaming.
With Traverse, the team aimed to please two distinct audiences: both The Sandbox community of metaverse gamers and the GamerHash community of NFT enthusiasts and crypto hardcore.
“While many companies on the metaverse outsource game development, we knew this was not going to be our approach. As gamers ourselves, we were motivated by the challenge of creating a game that we ourselves would be delighted to play even if the rewards and tokens were off the table,” Artur Pszczółkowski said.
Play and earn GamerCoin (GHX)
The GamerCoin (GHX) is the native utility token for the GamerHash platform. As of late June 2023, the token’s live price is $0.0057, with a market capitalization of $3,243,808. GHX has a circulating supply of 636,066,240 with a max supply of 880 million. GamerCoin is the first licensed token for gamers, providing a unique, simplified tool that generates rewards from PC crypto mining.
How to earn GHX via Traverse
You can earn GHX by playing games at a limit of 50.0000 USD in GHX tokens for 30 months. With GamerCoin, you can order from their 3,900+ products in the store, gain access to competitions and events, or receive rewards and bonuses just for holding tokens.
The play-and-earn model is simple: players dive into the galaxy with Traverse, earning rewards in GHX as they play and complete challenges. And there are competitions, too: all players who complete the first two available chapters in Traverse: Mars is Mine have the chance to have a dynamic NFT dropped to the wallet attached to their Sandbox account.
Traverse offers a taste of what is to come
GamerHash has proven itself, establishing a legitimate and innovative P2E/ mining platform hybrid boating more than 740K active users. Now, with Traverse, the team has shown an ability to push boundaries and think outside the box with game design. As for the future, the team is set to partner with other boundary-pushing brands, bringing more storytelling, creativity, and a problem-solving spirit to continue to build the GamerHash metaverse.
