RE: IBT Survival Island Game - Progress Report Twenty Seven
Thanks for the comment.
For the moment we are concentrating on building the product - good quality educational survival game using UE4 engine.
We are intending to release the game on Steam for free download. It's a PC based game and not web-based. This will present some challenges to hooking back to Steem blockchain, but is necessary to build the environment and graphics we are looking for in a first person survival.
We are considering doing an early alpha/playable demo for some people on steemit who expressed interest early in the piece.
Pending some feedback there we will be a DLC were we look to integrate the game more directly with Steem (or another block chain if I can't find the support to make it work), withing U34 we may use c++ addon and via public API or something else to connect to Steem. I have investigated very little at this stage as the focus is on getting the product built first and creating something delightful and useful.
I have a preference to use Steem, I was hoping even a SMT, but support has been limited and not exactly having angel investors falling from the sky here - Still no rush and hopefully support will come when the time is right.
Cheers
Cool, i guess it shouldn't be too much of a headache to address Steem from C++ but i must say i don't know anybody who did it.
A simple json() post should be enough though, everybody is doing it this way (for games at least). i made something like that in python with beem library from holger80 in no time (with no clue about python to be honest), could even be compiled to exe and usable like that.
Anyway, will follow you, i am starting to think towards some Steem apps as well but i am absolutely no web dev so long way to go.
i would like to avoid javascript and think C# so i will encounter same issue to address steem blockchain. if you ever make some C++ solution, let me know, i will do same :-)
btw, i was on new discord homeschooling server, that's where they mentioned you
cheers

Nice - thanks for the tips. It's hard at moment as 99% of effort in learning ue4 and other products to get game done, just spread too thin to even investigate the blockchain bit yet..will be certain to have a chat with you when we get to that stage (will be looking to smart people in the steem community for help for sure)... Best of luck with the homeschooling, def way to go in my books :)
