Alaska Gold Rush Team’s Expedition at Poznań Game Arena 2023
The spirit of exploration is never bound by timelines or terrains. On 6–8 October 2023, the Alaska Gold Rush team took a journey not through the gold-laden terrains of Alaska, but through the futuristic landscapes of gaming at the Poznań Game Arena (PGA) 2023. With history and future coming together, it was a venture as enriching as striking gold.
Into the Wild World of Web3 Gaming
As we set up camp at PGA 2023, our immediate rendezvous were with some formidable entities charting the same course into the world of web3 gaming. We talked with teams behind:
Medieval Dynasty
Legends Of Elysium
Metapro
Robohero
Pirates of Arrland
Shelter of Exile
Seegame.io
These dialogues weren’t just exchanges of pleasantries, but deep dives into the intricacies of integrating blockchain into the gaming world. Each of these games and platforms brought unique insights, furthering our collective understanding and determination to shape the world of Web3 gaming. We met Web3 influencers too :)
Straddling Worlds: From Tradition to Revolution
While our forte lies at the frontier of gaming with blockchain, we’ve never forgotten our roots. Venturing into traditional gaming booths, the nostalgic aura was palpable. Yet, what made these discussions intriguing was the evident excitement for what lies ahead. Our conversations with representatives from Microsoft and Bethesda weren’t just trips down memory lane. They were enthusiastic deliberations on the confluence of tradition and innovation — how best to integrate the tried-and-true gaming mechanics with the boundless possibilities of blockchain.
Gaming’s Broader Implications: Beyond Just Play
One of the highlights at PGA 2023 was the lecture on the use of gaming tools in the future of education. The convergence of gaming and education isn’t just about ‘gamifying’ the classroom. It’s about harnessing the immersive power of gaming to foster deeper understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving. As passionate game developers, we were enthralled by the potential of our craft to shape minds and, in turn, the future.
With the insights gathered and the alliances forged, our team is invigorated to take Alaska Gold Rush to new frontiers. Web3 gaming isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s the new frontier, brimming with as much promise (and peril) as the gold-laden landscapes of Alaska once held for pioneers.
