Hello, steemians! Happy new year 2019 to you all. Glad we've made it this far - and even as the air is yet filled with the euphoria of the new year, I'd like us to take a peep into an awesome new blockchain project known as hyperbridge.
Hyperbridge us aimed to be a hub of some sort for game developers right herd on blockchain. But before we go into the discussion proper, let's take a brief look at the history and challenges of the game industry at present.
HISTORYAND CHALLENGESOF THE GAME INDUSTRY
Before the 1970's, the video game industry did not exist but there were a good number of computing advancements setting the stage for the creation of the industry. In 1972, the first home gaming console, Magnavox Odyssey, was released. Other consoles followed gradually, like the Nintendo, PlayStation, etc.
The earlier generation of video games were quite economical and profitable as a single programmer or a small team could develop games and sell thousands of copies within a short period. Benefits such as royalties on the games sold, displayed the generousity of these early game publishers.
In more recent times, with the increase in graphics and computing power, the need for larger staff and development teams can not be over-emphasized to tackle the complex technical and design specifications of modern games. A single game can now take up to three years to develop with but budgets of millions of dollars to pay the game designers, artists, producers and programmers. With similarly high budget for marketing.To sell or make money from the finished game, the development team would have to choose a profitable methods which conventionally is to sell hard copies in retail stores but some other game developers prefer to use alternative distribution, which in the turn redyed cost and increased revenue.
HYPERBRIDGE BLOCKHUB SOLUTIONS
Hyperbridge blockhub aims at giving game developers a platform to effectively yet comfortably and efficiently crowdfund their project and easily gain access to the market where they can easily gain access to they can sell their games without stress.Hyperbridge will also provide consumers with an active and dynamic market place to discover new, innovating and attractive titles with mind blowing incentives directly provided by the game developers.Blockchain technology is definitely the future of game development.
Although presently there seem to be a challenge in visualizing and actualizing blockchain's potentials due to the unavailability of a well-defined pathway for developers to make inputs in economic and unambigous ways. To give consent and collarborate in future technology development, participants and developers need a foundation to build upon.
By building decentralized protocols of future generation applications in particular "micro-economies" of industry, hyperbridge is poised to build the future of blockchain technology which will initially focus on the gaming industry. By utilizing the blockchain technology, hyperbridge will effectively upgrade and improve how game developers and their consumers interact with each other.
