GameShame has completed Phase 1 development of Raijin Protocol, an on-chain PVP jet combat game built on the Neo X sidechain. The studio’s third development update, shared on March 11, outlines progress across core gameplay systems, an NFT marketplace, and supporting infrastructure, with systems described as “live in development.”
The project received 4,400 GAS in GrantShares DAO funding in December 2025. NNT has previously covered Raijin Protocol’s second development update, which detailed foundational vehicle physics, flight controls, and UI systems.
Flight controls, C++ migration
The update reports a reworked aircraft control system, moving from a simple arcade-style movement model to a more responsive setup offering precise pitch, roll, acceleration, and directional control during combat. The team said input latency between player actions and aircraft response has been reduced. A booster system enabling rapid movement bursts for tactical combat is also reported as in development.
According to the update, large portions of the game’s codebase have been migrated from Blueprint to C++, with most core gameplay logic now handled natively. The migration is intended to improve performance and prepare the project for larger-scale systems in future development stages.
NFT marketplace on TestNet
The team has also built an NFT marketplace supporting MetaMask wallet connections and transactions using NEO and GAS tokens. The marketplace is running on TestNet while the team monitors functionality ahead of a broader release.
Next steps
GameShame has submitted a Phase 2 grant proposal to GrantShares requesting 7,500 GAS for game completion, alpha and beta testing phases, and initial marketing activities over an estimated six-month period. The proposal outlines remaining deliverables, including booster combat mechanics, shield and health systems, multiplayer stability testing, and integrated marketplace functionality.
