Reef Features

SquidProval - SquidProval is a community-driven voting system which allows the
verified members of the Reef community to vote for what games enter the
platform.
Each game developer will provide a short video which showcases their game
alongside a brief bio on them and their game. Gamers will then have the
opportunity to make an informed decision on the presented game and either
vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for the game to enter the platform.
Each game will be live for voting for one week, after which ratings will be totalled
and averaged and games that attain a certain percentage of ‘yes’ votes, will then
be eligible to become full members of Squid Network’s Platform.
This process puts the control in the hands of the gamers, whilst increasing
competitiveness among game developers which is essential for developing new
innovative games. Overall making the Reef ecosystem a more vibrant and diverse
place for both developers and gamers alike.
The benefit of the gaming community being at the forefront of decision making
within the platform is a more coherent market and a unique bond being formed
between the developers and gamers. All developers will have earned their place
among the community and will immediately have supporters of their game. This
is beneficial to all parties and creates a community whereby games are not
forced upon its users.

Reviews - Reef will have the functionality to allow gamers to easily refer games
they enjoy to their friends through a messaging system allowing gamers to refer,
review and discuss their favourite games.
All games will have ratings and ratings are given by users of the platform.
Typically, platforms usually put reviews in chronological order with the most
recent at the top. On our platform however, reviews will be based off ranking and
game time. I.e if someone has spent 10 hours on a game, their review will be
placed closer to the top over someone who has 10 minutes on the game. This will
help to prevent spam reviews and makes it easier for gamers to decide what
games to play.
