For 2025 I would like to launch my browser game where players can mine asteroids and stack sats. Today I finished the GUI for the trade market view.

I will be adding new features to my proof-of-concept browser game, specifically focusing on scanning for asteroids which the player can then select for mining operations.

Last week, I worked on the crafting view.

I do not want to spoil the answer, beacuse I asked the admin in the top comment to give a more precise answer than I could give. So please be patient he will surely answer as soon as possible.

Thank you for creating such an awesome world, keep it going!

And may be you can give some insights of how the prize pool was filled initially and how is it filled now and how long you think it will be possible to keep filled for the ingame asic mining.

I belive this info can help new players to decide if it is worth for them to "invest" time into the game.

yes, go to Satlantis.net and click the "view the world" icon. Then you can zoom with the mouse scroll in and out. I dont know if it also works with mobile.

if you want to see something from inside the game, my older son twitched on his stream multiple times: twitch.tv/mikenchiken

As I mentioned, I for my self am not playing the game, but am involved in discussions with my kids and the community on the discord server. Since my kids do not play it for the Sats, I am pretty sure they have to have fun, otherwise they would not play it. There are billion games out there. So if some one is into minecraft, he could have fun at Satlantis and if he is into bitcoin the fun multiplies. And if he brings his friends with him, it multiplies again with each friend.

So first of all, I did not play the game but am involved via discussions with my kids.

Second, my kids do not play the game because of the withdrawal possibility, but because they have fun to play there with their friends from school or new friends they made.

Third, how much they made: Since my youngest son already plays on another Minecraft server with his friends, he tried Satlantis for 2 weeks, but has quitted and sold everything to his brother for something near 40$ (traded in game for satoshis) only to buy other stuff on his main server via paypal.

His brother, my older son, is still playing on the satlantis server, has invited some of his school friends in to his clan and the clan is now the second best by hashrate on the server. He and his friend have cashed out together only 50$ each, just to be safe if something happens with the server they have something to get stuff on another server. (Backup plan).

My daugther skipped the first weeks but got later into it and joined the clan to play with them.

All in all if you are someone who wants to maximize the cash out, you have to grind as in every game and trade with other players and provide them the things they are looking for. There is an in game auction house and a discord trading channel. And if you can invest into in game asics and have enough time to get emeralds to feed the asics you get sats during you sleep.

I can only estimate that one can make around 100$ a week but could be more or less depending on the investment into asics and time for grinding/trading.

if my older son would like to quit, he would need to sell all of the stuff he "owns" on the satlantis server. If he would manage to sell all his stuff for the normal price without dump it all at once, I think the items are worth some thing about 400-500 $ right now.

All transactions for withdrawal were supervised by me, so I gave the fiat money to the kids after the sats were sent and received on my lightning wallet.

for sure I know, they are telling me it each day at least trice :D

Yes I think this too.

First I was skeptical too. But then I realized: who will attend a bitcoin training seminar if not those who have already invested...

in my past I developed other games and bought too early the domains. And after some years passed and the game did not worked out had to drop the domains again. And another thing is I am so early in the developing this game that I do not even have a name for it :D

Today I linked the raspberrypi (with a dynamic IP) via DynDNS to a static domain. Next I will connect the game prototype to a Mongo database.

A question for the devs out there:

Would you rather host Bicoind and Lnd yourself on the same mashine or use a service to process the lighning transactions into and out of the game?

Today I managed to get my eraly game prototype (mentioned yesterday) up and running on RaspberryPi and made it available via IP. In the next days I will try to link the raspi IP via DynDNS.

Thats funny, the prototype for this game I have forked from a chat project and the chat function was indeed the first feature.

I am refining a concept document for browser based game built on bitcoin supported by lightning with ingame economy and from player to player payed in sats.

did you payed more than 10 times or did the community take over :D much love
