We are excited to announce that CryptoNinja, Japan’s No.1 NFT Brand, has been added as a new prize to the Web 3.0 Game Competition hosted by XANA. Moreover, the judge for this prize will be IKEHAYA, the leading figure of the NFT scene in Japan and the founder of CryptoNinja.
What is the Web 3.0 Game Competition?
XANA is a platform that allows anyone to easily create Web 3.0 games on the metaverse without any programming knowledge. To support the start of game creation, XANA regularly hosts Web3.0 Game Competitions with a total annual prize of $100,000, and the first one started on July 15th.
This is an opportunity for Web3.0 game developers, a huge growth sector, to showcase their work to the world.
The first competition is currently underway, and the application period is until August 30th, 2023. The total prize money is $11,000 (about 1.5 million yen), and there are the following categories:
- Creator Category: $5,000 + CryptoNinja Game Prize $1,000
- Promoter Category: $2,000
- Player Category: $3,000
What is the CryptoNinja Game Prize?
The CryptoNinja Game Prize is a new prize added to this competition. This is a prize for games that incorporate the concept and elements of CryptoNinja, and games that meet the following criteria are eligible:
- Using ninja assets in XANA Builder
- Incorporating the worldview and setting of CryptoNinja
In addition, we plan to implement some of CryptoNinja’s characters as NPCs or player avatars to express the worldview (details will be announced later).
Additional prizes
- CryptoNinja Game Gold Prize: $550
- CryptoNinja Game Silver Prize: $300
- CryptoNinja Game Bronze Prize: $150
- This prize is included in the main game category and is not a separate category, so there is no need to enter separately. Also, there is no overlap of prizes, so the winning works will be either this prize or the CryptoNinja Game Prize (the amount is the same).
- Please note that you cannot reuse worlds that you have created in the past in order to ensure fair judging within the period.
