The Future of Gaming | Inter-Game Play & Blockchain”

At this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, much of the discussion centered around the potential evolution of the gaming industry. Wemade CEO Henry Chang’s keynote, “The Future of Gaming: Inter-game Play and Beyond,” was particularly relevant, as he explored the role of blockchain technology in shaping the future of games. Innovators, including game developers and studios, are leveraging blockchain to develop a cohesive inter-game economy, enabling seamless play within and between games across multiple platforms. Key points from the keynote include:

• Blockchain technology can enhance the enjoyment of well-designed games by connecting their in-game economies to the real-world economy through game tokens and NFTs.
• Applying blockchain technology to games increases their appeal, as game tokens and NFTs can be issued and exchanged both within and outside the games, resulting in unique game tokenomics.
• The interconnected inter-game economy, as exemplified by MIR4 and MIR M, allows players to use MIR4’s game tokens and NFTs on the blockchain game platform WEMIX PLAY to create new games. The interaction between the in-game economies of MIR4 and MIR M results in an inter-game economy that fosters inter-game play.
• The launch of MIR M improved MIR4’s user base and sales, demonstrating the potential of inter-game economy and inter-game play. A simple connection led to the emergence of a new gameplay style that had not existed before.
• The future of inter-game economy involves multiple games interconnected through blockchain technology, moving away from the current isolated “island” structure of individual games. This vast ecosystem, which enables inter-game economy and inter-game play, could be considered the metaverse.
• Wemade is dedicated to collaborating with game developers and assisting those interested in blockchain technology in the creation of exceptional blockchain games. By working together, they can take advantage of this remarkable opportunity and excel in the evolving gaming landscape.
