MetaCity: A Decentralized City-Builder Game

MetaCity is an immersive, decentralized city-builder game where players design, build, and manage their own virtual metropolis. Built with a modern web stack, it simulates blockchain concepts like NFTs for in-game assets and a DAO for governance, offering a unique blend of strategic gameplay and decentralized principles.

This project was bootstrapped with Firebase Studio.

• NFT-based Assets: Every building and land parcel is simulated as an NFT, owned by the player.
• DAO Governance: Participate in a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to vote on proposals that shape the game's future.
• Simulated Marketplace: Buy and sell building NFTs with other players in an in-game marketplace.
• AI-Powered Gameplay:
  • Dynamic News: An AI agent generates in-game news headlines based on real-world events, making the city feel alive.
