Gauntlet ESport is a new and exciting gaming client that will allow users to play their favourite games, interact with a host of other features and get rewarded cryptocurrency.

What is Gauntlet ESport?

Gauntlet ESport is a new gaming project being developed by the tech newcomer, Silver Titan Limited. According to their CEO, it's the gaming client everybody's been waiting for! Players will be able to purchase games, accessories and other store items as well as integrate their existing desktop games into the client. Users can stream, donate, participate in ESport events, create their own events and interact with their audiences in more ways than just chat. The future is bright with educational and other technologies planned for Gauntlet ESport. Why can't you have everything? Nobody should be left out!

The Global Gaming Landscape

The entire gaming market is expected to be worth over $200 billion US dollars by 2023. In 2015 there were almost 2 billion video gamers globally, this is expected to rise to over 3 billion gamers by 2023. It is estimated that over 56% of active PC gamers are millennial's aged between 23 to 38 and 51% of gamers are Gen x aged between 39 and 50 years of age worldwide. This year, the console gaming market will see a further $4 billion dollars increase in digital gaming purchases from last year and it is estimated to go over that in 2022. (Source: Statista.com)

The Future of Gaming Rewards

Reward systems are an important characteristic of games, serving as motivational components to encourage players' progress and enjoyment. Gauntlet wishes to provide positive player experiences through multiple reward types integrated into the client for users to engage with, which will allow players to receive direct game rewards but also attached client rewards through, game play, stream play, ESport participation and P2P donations. The future of gamer rewards can be summed up in four words; achievement, connectivity, fun and tradable rewards while providing a level of high engagement throughout each process.

What Gamer's Want

All gamers want a high level of satisfaction when using clients to play their games and achieve a high level of engagement. Gamers want:

πŸ‘‰Access to high quality content as well as early access content too. Minimum pay to unlock features coupled with free to play (FTP) or freemium games.  

πŸ‘‰Players also want a client that is easy-to-use and doesn't require too much hard work to find new games or the most popular ones without sifting through heavy company advertising. Gamers want easily defined categories, proper rating systems and accessible gaming gems all contribute to a great gaming repository.  

πŸ‘‰A high volume of largely AAA-rated games at their disposal. Some, however, enjoy the mix of highly-rated, often expensive games with quality, often cheap indie games.  

πŸ‘‰The right mix of rewards can make a huge difference when select gaming clients. Clients that let you take advantage of in-client virtual currency, sales and exclusive pre-orders.  Gamers want to get paid for their game-time and who can blame them right?

πŸ‘‰Great customer service is probably the final 'want' gamers seek. Great service can mean the world to choosing a client and developing a loyalty relationship with them. Great customer service extends to more than solving gaming issues, money-back guarantees are very important to the curious gamer looking to jump from genre to genre or to return a bugged early access game. 

How The Gauntlet Client Will Work

The GAU gaming client will work similar to most clients however with some additional exciting differences! The following client tabs will show you how it will work. Additional features described but omitted from our current slides will be added to our prototype 1.0 which will be released in Q2 of 2021!

Dashboard

The Dashboard is what every user will see when they first open or load their client. It's essentially a snapshot of the players financials with rich data filter options, progress chart, holdings, top players and games.

Game Library

The library will contain all your purchased games and listed in preference play order. Existing games that were integrated from your desktop will also be here.

Store

From best sellers, new releases, pre-orders, high and low cost games in different genres to gaming gift cards, gift cards, subscriptions, software and much more, Gauntlet ESport will offer access to thousands of products for you to choose from.

Rewards

Gauntlets unique crypto rewards center has all the information you will need to gauge your progress from game type, earnings to date, play time and time left until your next reward. You'll always know where you are with each game at any given time. GAUX rewards will be based upon game-time, currency value and many other parameters. We will integrate our GAUX wallet into the rewards section of the client and will be showcased in our up and coming prototype. Other rewards will include; free games, subscriptions, gift cards etc.

Messages

Why go to other chat platforms when you when you can chat to your friends in the GAU Client. Select your custom avatar, accept donations, add unlimited friends, create group chats, send files, images and voice messages. Additional features that do not show below will in the prototype!

ESports

Players can view existing events that are happening or future based scheduled events and can even participate! Create your own event for fun with your own friends and offer GAU as rewards! If you are serious about ESports we will have a host of other parameters and design elements you can use to drill down and create custom professional events which can be shared on social media using our social sharing features coming soon. Additional features will be added in the prototype!

Stream

Want to build a following? Start streaming and showcase your skills to an unlimited global audience, accept GAUX donations and engage with your viewers via chat box with our streaming features. Streamers will also get rewarded for their stream time and can allow their audience to interact with them via text, and invitation only voice chats. Don't want to stream? No problem, choose from a host of streamers across the GAU network and select the one for you to watch and support. Our prototype will showcase these additional features.

Upgrade

Every new user to the Gauntlet gaming client will come in at the free level where they will be able to enjoy all the benefits and earn crypto rewards for game time and stream-time. Players can choose to upgrade to the Silverback package and get even more value and access to beta features, priority support and a host of other features that the basic package offers. The exact cost of the upgrade has not yet been established however users will be able to upgrade using their GAUX rewards. There is truly something for everybody.

Donate

Users can both accept and donate GAUX p2p. Simply just select the amount and put in the username of the recipient and click the donate button. It couldn't get more easier than that. Our prototype will have more additional donate integration features into other client tabs in our prototype to prevent tab hopping. We may look at other coins types to include in later client versions.

The Future Vision

Gauntlet wishes to be the number gaming client before 2025 and this will come only by hard work, strategic development, partnerships and a large global marketing initiative. Our forward thinking and development plans have us very excited and we wish to expand into other gaming related avenues as well as improve and upgrade on our existing client features and associated services through scheduled releases, community feedback and demand driven technologies. Here are some of the areas we are already looking into:

πŸ‘‰Gauntlet Academy - Education has always played a large part in the Gauntlet Teams approach to problem solving and creativity so it's no surprise that Gauntlet would be interested in looking into how gaming can play a part in real-life problem solving through various real-time on demand based learning curriculum and courses aimed at students from all levels and gamers from all ages.

πŸ‘‰GAU Gaming Entrepreneurship - Starting a business can be a daunting task for people and leading on from the Gauntlet Academy, a niche entrepreneurial programme could help any user to develop strong start up skills and perhaps even access funding for their new venture via the programme which would increase their chances of succeeding in the marketplace.

πŸ‘‰VR & AR Gaming Partnerships - With Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality rapidly becoming powerful marketing and promotional technologies, Gauntlet endeavors to engage with partnering companies which would provide ready-made audience engaging solutions for both gaming and non-gaming businesses across the globe.

πŸ‘‰Mobile Client Release - With the mobile market expected to boom over the next 5-10 years it would be no surprise to people that Gauntlet would want to have their mobile presence known. This would allow Gauntlet to develop increased gaming customisations, features and widen Gauntlet's social reach across the global gaming community.

πŸ‘‰ Cryptocurrency Ecosystem - As the Ethereum ecosystem grows over the next few years, Gauntlet will be seeking out new partnerships and avenues to advance the utility of cryptocurrency in gaming and will look into potentially accepting other tokens/coins as well as create/support other sustainable utility based tokens within the gaming niche.
