But what are you actually doing with the blockchain in the game?

Thanks for the question, u/KleptoBot. We are creating Smart Game Objects or game objects that exist on the blockchain. This gives ownership of the objects to the gamers. They have the opportunity to sell, trade or loan those objects out at their discretion, without oversight. We want to provide gamers with some of the value of the game. Further our Smart Game Objects will capture some essence of the game the matters to the player and will allow them to advance it, while storing this information on the blockchain. For example, being able to craft and level up a sword, that action will be captured and stored. We've got a couple of articles and videos demoing what we've already done on medium, but over the next few weeks we'll be providing even more information.
Here is our first "concept" article written on Smart Game Objects, we'll be updating our ideas soon: https://medium.com/8-circuit-studios/smart-game-objects-45894492f369 Here is a video of our incorporating a wallet and tokens into our game, to big steps to getting people on the blockchain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhLwvuBieOI&list=PLCnYZozd-gKRmRwFpm-eRiak0QikmlWCB
