Blockchain Gaming: Pipedream or Prophesy?

What Is My Neighbor Alice? [2021]

## What Is My Neighbor Alice (ALICE)?

[My Neighbor Alice](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/myneighboralice/) is a farming-themed [play-to-earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play2earn-play-to-earn) builder game built on [Chromia](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chromia/). The game bills itself as a place where “players can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items while also making new friends.” Each player has their own avatar representing them in the game, which they can modify as they please. Players can buy virtual real estate from Alice, the game’s eponymous central figure, or the internal marketplace. All purchased land is represented as an [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token). 

My Neighbor Alice aims to introduce blockchain to millions of players and targets a diverse gaming community within the traditional gaming market. Although the game is blockchain-based and integrates [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) features, it does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain. My Neighbor Alice takes inspiration from several popular sources. For instance, daily in-game tasks and social aspects are inspired by Animal Crossing, whereas Minecraft serves as a role model for building mechanics. The artwork was inspired by the Swedish children’s book Pettson and Findus. 


## Who Are the Founders of My Neighbor Alice?

My Neighbor Alice was built by Antler Interactive, a Swedish interactive mobile game studio. Antler Interactive was previously known as SVRVIVE Studios, a pioneer in VR that released titles like SVRVIVE: The Deus Helix, Kartong - Death by Cardboard, Krystal Kart AR, Krystopia: A Puzzle Journey, Krystopia, and Nova’s Journey. In 2019, Antler Interactive was acquired by ChromaWay, a blockchain development company that is behind the Chromia blockchain. 

Thus far, the game has amassed $2.1 million in two rounds of funding from VC funds like Coin98 Ventures, Kyros Ventures and raised $100,000 in an IDO round on [DAO Maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dao-maker/).


## What Makes My Neighbor Alice Unique?

My Neighbor Alice aims to set itself apart in two ways. First, its unique style that incorporates the character of Alice as a relatable “in-game friend” makes the game more personable to casual players that are not familiar with classic blockchain gaming features. In addition, the game does not force players to interact with the underlying blockchain technology, although it allows those who are curious to explore classic DeFi functionality. 

Players can engage in various activities designed to appeal to the game’s wide target audience, including women. The central game feature is **virtual islands**, of which there are six: 



* Snowflake Island
* Medieval Rest
* Nature’s Rest
* Lummestad
* Sandy Coast
* Submerged Island

Players can buy virtual land in the form of NFT tokens on these islands and decorate it with in-game items like houses, lakes, decorations, animals, plants, and others. Players are represented by their **avatars**, which can also be customized with in-game items. All of those are tradeable through the marketplace or marketplaces on other blockchains. 

Moreover, players can boost their **reputation** by completing quests and activities in the game. Shared **quests **enable players to work on a common goal and participate in community-created events that can be discussed on the gme#s decentralized forum. 

The game’s developers recently announced an [$80 million Metaverse Grant Program](https://myneighboralice.medium.com/introducing-the-80m-metaverse-grant-program-107a00053dc1) that will support the most promising ideas to expand the game’s metaverse.

## How Is the My Neighbor Alice Network Secured?

My Neighbor Alice is built on Chromia, a [layer-one](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) blockchain used in conjunction with Unity to operate accounts, token transfers, relational data, and user progress. Chromia follows the development of cross-chain playability, with its unique database aspects allowing for complex back-end logic directly on the blockchain.

The second layer to the game is Unity. This front-end solution is, in large part, a procedural building system connecting the back-end with login-registration edge case and multiplayer scalability. 

ALICE is an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token on Ethereum. [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) is one of the most popular blockchains and the go-to solution for many decentralized applications.
