The team at GigLabs would like to introduce our company to the CryptoRome community and briefly explain the GigApps project. We are applying a software development platform to the ongoing development of games centering on the unique, digital assets that make up CryptoRome.

Our ultimate goal is for the entire ecosystem of blockchain-based games to grow and thrive. We believe increasing the pool of decentralized game development teams will play a huge role toward the success of this effort.

A Little Background About the GigLabs Team

GigLabs is a blockchain software solutions publisher. Our team is made up of talented software developers and product managers. We have extensive development experience ranging from security protocol development to mobile applications and game development. Our core product is the GigApps software development platform.

GigApps is an agile based software project management platform built for decentralized teams who collaborate on software projects. It uses smart contracts to facilitate quality, governance, and payment for work done. Tasks are created and assigned to individual developers on the team. After completing tasks, developers get paid automatically by the smart contract as soon as the customer accepts the work.

Currently, the GigApps platform is only open to partners, customers, select development teams, and the GigLabs team. We have added a few development teams who are working on projects such as CryptoRome. The platform will be open to the public later this year. But, in the meantime, companies in gaming and the insurance market verticals are currently being accepted for blockchain work to be done by one of the teams connected to the platform.

The GigApps Platform and CryptoRome

The GigApps platform enables CryptoRome to continually improve and create multiple games centered on the game’s unique, digital assets. By using feedback and ideas from the CryptoRome community of citizens, we are able to define these milestones and fund them from the proceeds of the land sale and future transactions.

Internally, GigLabs will write requirements for the milestones (i.e. User Stories). The development teams that specialize in game development can then take these milestones off the queue and deliver them.

But what’s even more innovative is how the community will have the ability to participate in the development of CryptoRome games. The community will also have the ability to commission different games and new features that utilize their CryptoRome game assets, and utilize the GigApps platform to get this work done.

Other game developers can use GigApps to complete development of their games. We are already speaking with other Crypto-gaming companies in the community that want to leverage the platform to get artwork and development done for their games, as well.

Why is GigApps Important to the Blockchain Gaming Community?

When GigApps goes live to the public later this year, other blockchain-based games will have an opportunity to link their own communities and teams to GigApps. This will expedite the growth of these games and their digital assets. It will also open all the games to more collaboration between teams and gamers to make the overall gaming experience better.
