Neon Media's DonNorbury recently joined our Markets Pro traders for an exclusive AMA!! He revealed more details from the studio's forthcoming game playSHRAPNEL, which aims to change how you view 'play-to-earn.'
. The team is comprised of BAFTA and Emmy award-winning developers behind major franchises such as HALO, Call of Duty, Madden, Bioshock, Destiny, Star Wars, Hawken Skylanders, and Westworld. It is built on the blockchain gaming platform Forte., far eclipsing the global film industry and North American sports. However, most traditional gaming happens on networks that prevent users from acquiring and building in-game assets as the platform owns them.
Cointelegraph Markets Pro User: When I think of gaming, I think of Galaga, Pac-Man, Tomb Raider, Timesplitters. These games were fun and puzzling and contained adrenaline-filled additions. So how do you keep"Play-to-earn" from being button-pushing for dollars?Shrapnel is currently a core PC game for the primary game client. We have a rich website for everything beyond the"shooting people in the face" elements.
We're not making Cow-Clicker 9000 over here... We're making an intense extraction-based shooter with creator tools. I think the P2E tracks that have been laid out are a fantastic concept and framework to understand and take into account when designing economies or understanding player/human motivations and incentives. However, the pure versions of games in that space are wildly different experiences than something like Shrapnel.
Our team comes traditionally from a space where we work on something for three years before the public becomes aware of it. While we still believe a certain amount of baking is required , we think there are fantastic ways the community can become involved in the process and grow with the project as features, utility and agency are built and iterated on.It's an extraction shooter, lose-your-loadout high-stakes-treasure-hunting design. You bring in your gear, and you need to get loot out.
CT Markets Pro User: What can the Forte blockchain/NFT platform, or a Neon/Shrapnel investor, bring to the table?One of the primary issues preventing wider-scale adoption of games in the crypto space is frictional elements and risk. When we think about aspects like wallet/key management, Know Your Customer /Anti-Money Laundering , or transportability of assets, these are spaces for crypto-savvy people. There is an element of familiarity and acceptance.
