Quantum Works — A Crypto-Powered Gaming Studio
This month marked a major milestone for the integration of blockchain technologies and the gaming industry. Both technologies have seen considerable growth over the last two years. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with more accessibility has helped fuel these sectors. Today, both industries are considered some of the fastest-growing sectors in tech. As such, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to learn that there are more than a few people interested in melding these technologies moving forward.
A Crypto Funded Gaming Studio
One ingenious group of developers has taken this concept to the next level. Quantum Works marks the first time in history that a public token sale was used to fund the creation of a gaming studio. Notably, the team secured over $1 million dollars to bring their project to life. This funding will go to a variety of critical areas of development.
Quantum Works isn’t some small-scale operation seeking to create a rinky-dink gaming platform to operate as a proof-of-concept. It’s a fully registered, KYC compliant, award-winning, AAA gaming studio. This designation means that the firm intends to compete with the top-performing studios in the industry. Think of major game titles like Call of Duty and Minecraft. These are all AAA games.
AAA
What makes a game AAA-standard is the work and technologies that go into its development. Notably, AAA games usually cost millions to create. They involve years of development and include some of the top digital artists available in the world today. As such, it’s no small feat to enter this market and it will require a huge commitment to become a major competitor.
Luckily, Quantum Works is able to offer some features that other gaming studios can only dream of. For example, the platform seeks to integrate cryptocurrencies directly into your gameplay. Imagine playing a first-person shooter. You take out your opponent and they drop their purse. When you pick up their coins, you pleased to learn you just acquired a rare token or a substantial amount of cryptocurrency.
The concept of getting paid to play video games has long been a dream of gamers. However, until recently, there was no way to seamlessly implement ROI options into games. Now, thanks to blockchain technology, this is the new reality. Notably, Quantum Works wants to implement cryptos into all aspects of the gaming experience.
Project Quantum
For example, the platform’s first release will provide users with the opportunity to secure huge windfalls. The title operates as a treasure hunt with players searching a vast map filled with other players. You can communicate and transfer value between players directly and you can discover games and treasures throughout the map.
Imagine you are gearing up for an epic quest across the digital landscape but you are worried that the journey could be dangerous. To protect your property, you enlist the help of some soldiers of fortune. You pay them in crypto and you set off on your journey. Along the way, you stumble upon a game in the wilderness. You try your odds and are successful.
