Founded in 2016, Etherplay is a Open-Source Game Studio Based in Scotland Building Unstoppable Games running on Ethereum technology.

We built the first game playable with Metamask in 2016 and continued to innovate since then.

In particular we have been working on fully persistent and permission-less games, also known as Autononmous Worlds since early 2019, including the aptly named "Ethernal" and the forever running Conquest.eth which will remains live until the network it runs on, dies if ever. Conquest.eth is a first game of its kind: an Infinite game of diplomacy where players can join at any time.

We are continuing exploring the world of the possible in this exciting new space, enabled by blockchain technology and our latest "Stratagems" explore the idea of permission-less composability with immutable ruleset.

All our games are open-source, but we also build lots of tools to support our development and these are also open source. We have been contributing to open-source since our inception in 2016.

This includes:

• hardhat-deploy
  a tool to deploy smart contract, keep track of them and reuse them in tests
• rocketh
  the new version of hardhat-deploy that works as a standalone project but integrate with both hardhat and foundry
• web3-connection
  a wallet connection library that support many features like tx tracking using a elegant UI agnostic mechanism
• fuzd
  a system to execute hidden transaction on behalf of user/player, minimizing responsibility and very useful for commit+reveal scheme used in all our games
• ethereum-indexer
  a indexer that run in browser, letting our games be fully decentralised: zero backend needed
• jolly-roger
  a template that let us get started on new games easily. It combine the tools above in a convenient setup
• clones-with-immutable a unique approach to EVM smart contract configurable clones with minimum overhead
