Overview
Flux Point Studios is a game studio that makes playable titles and the developer tools that let a game talk to a blockchain. Its games index lists three titles1. TRIB3 is on the Epic Games Store, LIST has a Steam wishlist page, and Clay Monster Dash is a direct download234.
The studio also publishes a plugin for Unreal Engine 5 so a developer can put wallets, tokens, and tradable items inside a game instead of sending players out to a separate app5.
The work centres on Cardano. Three people are named on the studio site: a chief executive, a chief technology officer who leads the gaming side, and legal counsel6. The studio also runs its own partner chain, Materios, as the piece built for games7.
Key Features
- Titles on storefronts players already use. TRIB3, a multiplayer action shooter, is listed on the Epic Games Store as an early-access blockchain game, and LIST, an anime-styled action roguelike co-developed with RPPG interactive, has a Steam page open for wishlisting23.
- A free runner made with Clay Nation. Clay Monster Dash drops the Clay Nation clay characters into an Unreal-built endless runner, handed out straight from the studio as a Windows download, an Android package, and an iOS test build4.
- Cardano actions as drag-and-drop Unreal blocks. The studio's Unreal Engine 5 plugin turns wallet creation, ADA and token transfers, item transfers between players, and asset minting into Blueprint nodes, the visual scripting pieces Unreal developers build with58.
- Play results checked against registered rules. Materios takes the data from a finished play session, has a committee of attestors validate it against a schema the game registered in advance, and anchors a summary of the result onto Cardano as a Merkle root9.
- Groundwork for in-game purchases. Materios describes itself as built for cheap, fast settlement of game micro-transactions; its documentation places purchase receipts as future work, with only game-state certification running today, on its test network710.
What to Expect
If you arrive as a player, TRIB3 downloads from the Epic Games Store, and the studio page for it describes an alpha build11. Clay Monster Dash is a free runner offered as a direct Windows or Android download, with iOS through a TestFlight build4. LIST is a wishlist entry rather than a playable build, and the studio page for it is an auction interface for in-game weapons held as collectible tokens, where you connect a Cardano wallet and bid12.
If you arrive as a developer, the Unreal plugin is the most concrete piece on offer. The free build targets Unreal 5.5 on Windows and downloads without an account, a paid build for a later engine version is sold separately, and the documentation sets out a platform fee when the packaged build mints an asset58. The plugin is free to use rather than open source: the public repository holds a release archive instead of code13.
The esports side of Flux Point Studios sits mainly in proposals. Two esports plans, a fantasy-sports platform and a regional team paired with a tournament program, went to Project Catalyst, the community funding process for Cardano, and neither was approved1415. The studio proposal that was funded and completed there is a developer assistant rather than a game16.
