Revolutionizing gaming with Web3: lessons from the Oasys Builder Meetup in Tokyo

How Web3 is transforming the gaming industry: Key takeaways from the Oasys Builder meetup in Tokyo

In October, Oasys held the Builder meetup in Tokyo, bringing together over 50 developers and partners to discuss the future of Web3 gaming. The event served as a platform for sharing ideas, strategies, and insights aimed at unlocking new opportunities in blockchain-based games. Here are the key takeaways from the event.

The promise and challenges of Web3 gaming

Web3 gaming promises to revolutionize the industry with decentralized economies, new monetization models, and player ownership. However, there are still significant challenges to overcome:

• User adoption: How do we encourage traditional gamers to explore new technologies?
• Design complexity: How can we integrate Web3 features without compromising the gaming experience?
• Balancing Web2 and Web3: How do we create games that are accessible to newcomers while also appealing to experienced Web3 users?

These questions were addressed during the event, with participants sharing strategies to overcome these barriers.

Saakuru verse: fun comes first

For Web3 games to achieve mass adoption, gameplay must come first. According to Saakuru Verse’s approach:

1. Engaging gameplay: The fun factor should always be the top priority, not complex technology.
2. Gradual Web3 integration: NFT and token features should be introduced only once players are already hooked.
3. Easy onboarding: The process of entering the game should be simplified, especially for Web2 players unfamiliar with blockchain.

GEEK verse: Bridging Web2 and Web3

GEEK Verse’s approach is exemplified by their game “De:Lithe Last Memories,” which reached 450,000 downloads within the first 30 days. This success was due to their ability to cater to:

• Web2 players: Who can enjoy the game without knowing about NFTs.
• Web2.5 users: Those new to NFTs and blockchain but open to trying it out.
• Web3 enthusiasts: Players comfortable with blockchain technologies.

By addressing these different user types, they managed to create an inclusive gaming experience that appeals to a broad audience.

MCH verse: Cross-game economies

MCH Verse connects over 15 games through a shared $MCHC token, offering benefits like:

• Asset trading across games: Players can trade items and assets seamlessly between games, adding value to their gaming experience.
• Unified economy: This shared economy encourages player interaction and liquidity across games.

This approach showcases how blockchain can create interconnected gaming worlds, enabling new opportunities for players.

DeFi verse: Where gaming meets decentralized finance

DeFi Verse integrates gaming with decentralized finance through projects like:

• Chain colosseum phoenix: A “play-to-earn” game that lets players earn rewards.
• GamingDEX: A decentralized exchange that boosts liquidity and enhances the gaming experience.

These projects demonstrate how blockchain technology is expanding the potential of gaming by enabling financial interactions within the ecosystem.
