The Double-Edged Sword of App Stores
For small indie game developers, the rise of platforms like the App Store and Google Play has been akin to spotting a unicorn: wondrous yet elusive. While one-person studios have sometimes dazzled among the titans of the industry—with Flappy Bird becoming a viral legend—it’s no piece of cake. Established studios are now elbowing their way into the space, while commission fees bite into profits like a rabid chihuahua on a snack break.
The Solution? Enter PlayGame
Imagine a decentralized “crypto arcade playground” designed specifically to give indie developers a fighting chance. PlayGame is here to take the reins and allow hopeful creators to harness the power of blockchain technology. According to their claims, developers on their platform will retain a staggering 100% of their revenue—quite different from those hefty platforms that skimp away with up to 30%.
A Token Economy Like No Other
The platform isn’t just another shiny object you’ll ignore after a week. Developers can forge their own token economy, rewarding loyal players and setting up pool prizes for multiplayer games that may just bring out your competitive spirit (or at least your ability to hack the game). Imagine earning rewards while you unleash your inner champion—now that’s motivation!
Building Blocks for a Better Gaming Experience
PlayGame is laying down the foundation with two key pillars: the launch of PlayGame.com and the FunFund Initiative. First, say goodbye to app overload; PlayGame.com will operate as a direct-to-play HTML5 platform, eliminating the need for cumbersome downloads. Players will be able to jam out to new releases right from their devices. Forget waiting in line at your favorite coffee shop just to play a game.
Crowdfunding Meets Cryptocurrency
But wait, there’s more! The FunFund Initiative taps into crowdfunding powered by cryptocurrency. It’s like Kickstarter got a tech upgrade and traded its bicycle for a spaceship. Developers can attract cryptocurrency holders eager to support indie visions—think of it as a virtual high-five that also comes with cash.
Transparency and Fair Payments
PlayGame promises developers fair payment practices, which sounds almost revolutionary in mainstream gaming—thank you very much. Advertisers, too, should feel at ease as the current click metrics are apparently as trustworthy as your uncle’s fishing stories. The startup maintains that its metrics will herald a new era of clarity, propelling both developers and advertisers into the light.
Broadening Horizons with Crypto
Previously, the crypto market’s potential has been visible through collectibles like CryptoKitties, but PlayGame is setting its sights on broader ambitions, specifically focusing on the Japanese gaming community. The company is helmed by Anton Soeharyo, who knows his way around the gaming world; he founded TouchTen, a heavyweight in Indonesia’s mobile gaming scene.
The Game Plan Ahead
Come 2019, PlayGame aims to further enhance its platform through a soft launch so players can dive into the future of gaming. Users will soon be able to participate in time-limited events, such as sudoku tournaments, utilizing PXG tokens. You’ll wager, win, and get 90% of the fees back while the rest is perfectly split between developers and PlayGame. It’s like a modern-day Robin Hood scenario, with more puzzles and less stealing.
In closing, PlayGame is gearing up for its token sale, having already sold out a third of its offering in just five days. The rest will be available for gamers and investors alike, eager to see what this new landscape of independent gaming might hold.
