In the world the terms blockchain and crypto currency are already known by the general public, even now people are experiencing NFT 'fever'. Starting from Ghozali with a total NFT of up to 1.5 billion rupiah to Karafuru who has managed to sell NFT for 5 ETH at Opensea.
On the other hand, the use of blockchain other than for NFT, one area that is growing very rapidly is Cryptogaming / Web3 games / Blockchain games or better known as Play2earn.
According to a report from the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA), the total revenue from blockchain and NFT-based games in Q3 2021 reached USD 2.32 billion. Public interest in blockchain gaming continues to increase, as can be seen from Google Trends 2021 data.
However, there are gaps in the development of blockchain games both globally and locally. The world itself is a very promising market for the game industry with the largest number of players in Southeast Asia, namely 118 million players.
Although very promising, the development of blockchain games has a very large barrier to entry, namely technology, regulations, skills / knowledge and large costs, as seen from the Blockchain Game Alliance data:
But now there is a national subsidiary company that allows everyone to create blockchain games, namely Playfix.
Playfix, which carries the tagline Web3 Game Publisher, promises a platform where game developers can easily build, launch, and develop blockchain games.
Playfix COO Raymond Sutanto is a person who has been in the blockchain business for a long time, especially cryptocurrencies. He is one of the founders of Zipmex, a Crypto exchange company from Indonesia.
"The world of blockchain games is growing very fast and very promising, but we realize that not everyone (read: game developers) has the skills, technology and budget to be able to create blockchain games. This can slow down adoption and growth. That's why we are here to open access and provide a way for all game developers to join the game blockchain," said Raymond, in a statement received by us.
Playfix has three main features, namely:
BUILD: APIs and Console for game developers to build their games on the blockchain. Game developers will be able to create Game Tokens, NFTs, and maximize all blockchain features.
LAUNCH: Playfix provides a launchpad for game developers to launch their games. Not only that, this launchpad is also able to support blockchain games to conduct IGO (Initial game offering) where game developers can seek funding through initial offers of their games.
GROW: Another challenge in making blockchain games a success is building a community and gaining exposure for their games. Playfix provides support on the community building and marketing side for all blockchain games that use the Playfix platform.
Playfix itself is in the development stage and is planned to be launched in 2022. In addition to creating a platform for blockchain games, Playfix will also launch their PFX Token which will be one of the transaction tokens on their platform.
"We plan to launch the platform in 2022 and also conduct an IDO (initial decentralize offering) for the Pfx token, which will later become our transaction token. It is hoped that the Pfx token will be able to get a strong valuation so that it can also be looked at as a token for investment", closed Raymond.
