Head Box

Head Box is a Web3 survival shooter built on top of an existing art base — PlayFusion Labs came in to build everything that makes it a game. Crypto wallet integration, payment infrastructure, all core gameplay systems, AI, and UI delivered on Unreal Engine 5 for PC with full blockchain payment rails and session logging backend.

The gameplay foundation is a third-person zombie survival experience where players earn crypto rewards for kills and performance. The wave system spawns and manages zombie and NPC encounters with escalating difficulty driven by AI configuration tuned to the game's economy - reward output is tied directly to how hard the game pushes back. A score and multiplier system tracks performance across each session and feeds directly into the payout calculation.

The economy layer runs on a full crypto wallet integration with payment and payout API handling real-time reward distribution. A weapon shop and item system lets players reinvest earnings into gear, with drop effects and destructible objects reinforcing the loop between earning and spending. Auth system handles player identity across sessions with Google, X, and OTP login. Session logging captures gameplay data for analytics and payout verification.

Controller setup and aim assist were built to support gamepad play alongside keyboard and mouse. Character clothing adds a cosmetic layer to player identity. Main menu UI ties the full experience together - wallet status, score history, shop access, and session entry from a single interface.
