1. Project Introduction
This project is a AAA-rated first-person shooter (FPS) game powered by blockchain technology. It offers competitive multiplayer gameplay with a high degree of openness, similar to Rainbow Six Siege, allowing players to design extensive terrains and in-game assets. The game is built using Avalanche's subnet architecture, which enables lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times. Additionally, all game modeling tools and true digital ownership are hosted on-chain. The project is deployed on the Avalanche (AVAX) chain and developed by the independent game studio Neon, whose parent company HBO is renowned for producing hit series like Game of Thrones.
