How to Construct a Gaming Service Platform?

Editorial

In recent years, with the popularity of the concept of Web 3, more and more traditional game giants have begun to set foot in Crypto.

For example, the former CEO of Riot Asia Pacific and the former head of TikTok’s Game Department both have founded blockchain game companies.

The blockchain game field is attracting talents and funds from all aspects with unprecedented attractiveness. What follows is the bridging of the two markets, on-chain and off-chain. It is necessary to think about how to meet the needs of traditional and on-chain players.

Although there is a natural gap between traditional players and on-chain players in their views and pursuits of games, this gap is gradually narrowing.

According to a survey by Globant, 53% of 1,000 randomly selected gamers do not reject Play to Earn, and 34% want to trade cryptocurrencies in the Metaverse.

This is due to the further popularity of Crypto and Web 3 concepts, but at the same time we cannot ignore that there are still quite a few users who naturally reject Crypto and NFTs.

How to further eliminate differences and provide blockchain modification services for games may be a good idea.

At present, there have been many blockchain modified games and gaming service platforms on the market. This article will summarize several representative platforms and summarize the general patterns.

Game Space

Game Space is a blockchain modification gaming tool service platform that provides GaaS (GameFi as a Service). It is aimed at large game developers, providing them with GameFi one-stop service, one-click quick integration SDK, and NFT transaction engine that can be embedded in games.

On April 22 this year, after Game Space went live, it announced that it had received $7 million in financing.

The platform is designed to help more game studios quickly transition into the Web 3 space.

In May of this year, Game Space announced its first chain-modified game “Merge Bird” and officially started the public sale of NFTs in the early years. This game is the blockchain game version of “Flappy Bird”, which once dominated the free mobile game list in 53 countries in AppStore ten years ago.

“Merge Bird” uses the Game Space App to transform each bird into an NFT, that is, the bird in the picture can be made into a Bird NFT in the game. In addition, players can also buy Bird NFTs to participate in the game. When players pass levels of a multiple of 20, they can get a Bird NFT as a reward. Multiple Birds can also be merged into a new Bird. The new Bird will have more lives and can be resurrected after failing, but it needs to consume one of the Bird’s lives. When the bird’s lives return to zero, the Bird NFT will also be destroyed.

GLink

GLINK is a mobile blockchain gaming platform connecting gamers, game developers and investors.

G-Link is building a complete ecosystem, including the game world of interesting blockchain games, game incubators, NFT markets and GSwap, a decentralized trading network.

The goal is to benefit all members of the gaming community, whether you are a gamer or a game developer. On G-Link, players can enjoy high-quality, fun games with meaningful engagements; game developers can dedicate themselves to building their dream games without encountering high barriers to success.

G-Link will find a balance between centralization and decentralization through exploration and innovation as the premier platform in the GameFi space.

Mintameta

As a game and social platform + blockchain modification infrastructure service platform, Mintameta aims to provide the market with a series of blockchain modification tools such as blockchain conversion technology modules and functional modules, thereby helping a large number of Web 2 games to transition into Web 3

At the same time, in order to better help game developers acquire users and collect valuable user data, Mintameta provides DID login and user data storage protocols for the game, and released 10,000 Genesis NFTs to bind the interests of early users and the platform. It is used to encourage users to host and engage deeply in follow-up events on the platform and other games.

From the point of view of Web2 game developers, it is quite difficult to enter web3. Uploading data, issuing airdrops, tokens, managing NFTs, etc., all require a certain level of understanding of the crypto industry plus cumbersome work. This is very unfriendly to developers, and Metatool, one of Mintameta’s functions, can solve this kind of problem very well.

Mintameta’s products include:

Project tools: NFT/mystery box issuance, management and sales; token airdrop management, token lock-up, team-owned token lock-up.

Data Management: Data statistics and analysis on game players and assets.

These functions can help developers quickly get started with some functions of Web3, and achieve one-stop deployment of on-chain game management tools through convenient methods and interfaces. These functions effectively break down the barriers from Web2 to Web3, and realize blockchain modification conveniently and quickly, making it possible for the rapid transformation of traditional games.

Mintameta’s on-chain identity system is a decentralized identity (account) protocol with dynamic NFT as the underlying layer, providing players with a new identity in the Web3 game universe, which we call MetaID. MetaID is a decentralized identity or account system based on dynamic NFT, and anyone can get free mint. Each MetaID can be set with a unique name (similar to a username) to bind your unique identity, similar to an ENS domain name.

MetaID use cases:

1.Build your brand new Web3 Game & Social Universe Identity MetaID

2. MetaID has the ability to store any asset (FT or NFT) and the ownership will follow the transfer.

3. Data can be recorded on NFT indefinitely, including game data and social relations, resulting in account data value and growth value

The Mintameta platform is divided into the following sections:

Game module: Provide players with game information, data, etc. on the platform;

Social module: The platform provides an on-chain social module with a privacy protection mechanism, where players can freely share and exchange game experiences;

Asset module: Players can easily view and manage game assets, including tokens and NFTs;

DeFi module: Players can freely access DeFi products such as DEX/NFT marketplace/lending/mining to exchange assets or earn income.

Activity module: The venue for game release activities, where players can participate in airdrops and other activities.

Within the platform it is possible to:

1. Build your own game life. Games that use MetaID can highlight their badges (wo show experience and achieve achievements)

2. One-stop management of your game assets

3. Integrate the games played by classification to provide a quick entry

In general, in the current market, whether it is the exploration of Web 3 by Web 2 developers or the overflow of the Crypto ecosystem, there will be higher and higher requirements for the demand of ‘game + blockchain’.

As a gaming service platform that provides blockchain modification solutions and tools for games, it should focus on games, but beyond games.

The changes brought about by Web 3 are comprehensive and drastic. In this process, whoever can build bridges that connect the two worlds to become wider, larger and more diverse, will gain the rewards of success and more advanced awareness when the time comes.
