Project's Concept
Aether Games — game development studio that creates high quality crypto and NFT projects.
Aether Games company https://aethergames.io/ is a next-generation gaming studio that develops not only games based on blockchain and NFT technologies using augmented reality (AR) but also creates an entire ecosystem around the gaming world.
All products released by Aether Games are interconnected and built on the same franchise and dark fantasy metaverse.
The company was founded by a team that helped create blockbusters such as:
- League of Legends https://www.leagueoflegends.com/ru-ru/
- World of Tanks https://worldoftanks.eu/ru/
- God of War https://god-of-war.ru/
Aether Games is a joint development of the three most famous studios in the traditional gaming industry - Blizzard, Ubisoft and Riot Games, who have united to offer the highest quality of game creation but based on blockchain technologies this time.
Products
The Aether Games company includes 4 products that are interconnected and complement each other:
- two beautiful CGI games using characters from the same dark fantasy-inspired metaverse
- AR application that connects game characters with the real world
- a television series that promotes heroes from this metaverse
- Cards of Ethernity (CoE) https://coe.gg/ is a blockchain-based competitive collectible card game that you can play and earn by selling your cards.
Players can create and explore their card collections through the in-game collection browser.
They can get new cards by purchasing chests of NFT drop packs using the $AEG token (in-game currency) or by creating new cards.
Players play as adventurers with their own unique creatures, spells, and relics.
There is Free-2-play mode and NFT mode.
The closest analogue of popular p2e games:
Gods Unchained https://godsunchained.com/ - Gates of Ethernity (GoE) https://goe.gg/ — decentralized strategy game in the auto-battler genre, focused on cyber sports and based on NFT and also supports Free-2-play mode.
Gates of Ethernity is an eight-player tactical game in which the player recruits powerful creatures and fights to become the last player standing. - Gates of Ethernity AR Viewer — is an augmented reality mobile application with which you can see your NFT in real life, almost as shown in the game trailer.
Aether (Series) — an important part of the concept - is a fully-fledged series about computer game characters, where the images are computer generated and the characters are modeled on the basis of real actors, but using computer graphics (CGI).
The series has not only his own value, it also aims to promote gaming to a wider audience through leading streaming services.
Negotiations are underway with industry leaders Netflix, Amazon Prime, Paramount, Hulu and HBO to host the series on their streaming platforms.
The universe and characters become more recognizable to a wider audience after watching the series, which contributes to the promotion of the games themselves.
An interesting plot.
More than just a game, it is a whole block of complementary projects using cutting-edge technology and taking it one step further than current blockchain games.
The series is distributed to a wide audience, makes the characters popular and then the games allow fans of the series to interact with their favourite characters.
AR technologies give an additional feature because the characters can be found in the real world, showing another facet of the gameplay. It also provides additional synergy by attracting a lot of interest to the project.
