A New Chapter in Sandbox Games: A High-Freedom Life Simulation Game Based on Blockchain

When talking about highly free sandbox games, one cannot help but mention the classic work "The Sims" released in 2000. This game, developed by Maxis Software and published by EA, has launched multiple series and over 70 expansion packs in the past 20 years, becoming one of the best-selling video games in the world. "The Sims" is like a microcosm of the real world, allowing players to create characters and determine their life paths, from marriage to arguments, everything is controlled by the players. Many people see it as a life simulator, allowing them to experience dreams that are difficult to realize in reality.

The charm of "The Sims" lies not only in its highly realistic worldview but also in the creative freedom it offers players. Players can freely customize their characters, build houses, and even expand the game content through constantly updated expansion packs. Game enthusiasts often recreate their favorite movie scenes and characters in the game and create their own storylines.

However, as a product from 20 years ago, "The Sims" has limitations in content sharing. Characters created by players, building designs, and mods can only be stored locally, and sharing exciting moments and resource packs from the game requires online forums. Nevertheless, this has not diminished players' enthusiasm at all. On short video platforms, homemade dramas of "The Sims" have garnered over hundreds of millions of views, while the game itself and its DLC have generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

The success of games like "The Sims" and "Minecraft" fully demonstrates the strong vitality of user-generated content (UGC) games. With the development of blockchain technology, users' ownership of virtual assets can be clearly guaranteed, while incentivizing ecosystem participants through tokens. It is against this backdrop that a high-freedom game running on the Sui public chain has emerged. This game has only been online for two weeks, yet its test version has attracted 3,000 daily active users thanks to its excellent content.

Future Outlook

In the future, the game plans to open up to other virtual worlds, realizing the vision of players freely traveling between different virtual worlds. This not only enriches the gaming experience but also provides new possibilities for the development of the virtual economy.
