Game architecture
Project overview
Initially Telegram-based and then extended mobile game Salsa Valley Cook&Earn is a casual and Web3 game for mobile devices running on Unity, based on the unique concept of making salsa sauce. The game combines elements of cooking, strategy, and NFT collecting. The game economy is based on the $Salsa token.
Unity game engine
Our team focuses on making the user experience fast, reliable and streamlined across all platforms. With the flexibility of Unity engine, Cook&Earn players can enjoy the game everywhere with Internet access on mobile devices (iOS & Android) as well as PCs and MacOS devices.
Unity is a 2D & 3D game engine that has been around since 2005, ideal for casual games. Currently more than 50% of mobile games are made with Unity including popular titles like Pokemon GO, Genshin Impact, Hearthstone, Subway Surfers.
Blockchain Adoption
In addition to a fun-to-play game like other traditional games, integrating blockchain technology and NFTs will help to build a strong connection between players and in-game assets (players controlled Avatars, Buches, Recipes). Many essential functions are needed to make that happen such as game asset issuance on blockchain, gameplay smart contracts, asset trading and management.
Multi-chain approach
We plan to bring Salsa Valley Cook&Earn game to several blockchains to support many user communities. As the first blockchain will be the partnership one with a large user base, fast transaction speed and low fee. In the future, we will extend to several blockchain networks.
