“Before meeting you, we spent about a year doing due diligence on scaling solutions. Meeting [Rashid] and the team, it became very clear that you guys were very technical. You're thinking about this problem deeply, you've been working on it for many years, you're kind of like us, like you're in the trenches, you're in the engine, you know how games are built, from the ground up, which is definitely rare. The solution MetaGravity provides is not only interesting in web3 but interesting for gaming in general." ∼ N3o, Wilder World This quoted excerpt offers a glimpse of yesterday's X Spaces event hosted by Wilder World. It was an amazing opportunity to share insights on MetaGravity HyperScaling #games and specifically how we are shaping Wilder World into one of the first supermassive AAA experiences.

It's one of the questions we hear the most often; HOW do I get experience in Games... 💥💥💥When people only hire those with Games experience?💥💥💥 ONE of the most consistently effective answers I hear (and often share) is joining a Game Jam. So, let's talk about why: 1. Network. You build, you learn, and you form meaningful connections. This should, in my opinion, be your most heavily-weighted variable when choosing your professional development experiences. 2. Skills. You actually hone the skills you're likely cultivating in your courses and personal learning, and you get real-world feedback to make those skills relevant and relative to what's happening now. HUGE. 3. Data. While honing and applying your skills you get to harvest data that lends deep credibility to your resumes/interview answers/etc. Set goals with numbers, measure your success, write down those stories, repeat. Forever. Thank you so much to my great friend Maya Rand and to TheXPlace for including me as a speaker for the #summergamejam. I'm massively excited be striving to create value for the worldwide Games community alongside Larry Hryb, Joy Horvath, Martina Johannesson, Matt Dondelinger, Mark Holmes, Kate Edwards, Emily Grace Buck, Andrea Saravia Pérez, Neel Upadhye, Kevin Leung, Dori Arazi, Katrina Strafford (Kat), Peter Moore, Shelby Moledina, Karl Magnus Troedsson, Dave Rosen, Thomas Winkley, Debra Isaac, Carl Domingo, Gavan Gravesen! #gaming #gamingjobs #gamingcommunity

#Importance of guilds in gaming Guilds and clans in gaming are more than just groups of players; they form the backbone of the social structure within a game community. These groups create strong social bonds by fostering collaboration, teamwork, and camaraderie. Members often work together to achieve common goals, such as completing challenging quests, competing in tournaments, or building in-game assets. This shared purpose cultivates a sense of belonging and loyalty among players. Guilds and clans also provide a support system where members can share knowledge, resources, and strategies, enhancing the overall gaming experience. They often extend beyond the virtual world, leading to real-life friendships and networks. By creating a sense of community and mutual support, guilds and clans make gaming more enjoyable and meaningful, transforming it from a solitary activity into a vibrant, social adventure. #GamingCommunity #Guilds #Clans #Teamwork #Web3 #PlayToEarn #BlockchainGaming #GameDevelopment #SocialGaming #CryptoGaming

🌟 We Did It! Our First Game Jam Experience 🌟 The Arcade Game Development and Metaverse Club recently participated in the GMTK Game Jam 2024, marking our first ever game jam! 🎮💻 We divided into two teams, each creating a unique game in just 96 hours, and the journey was nothing short of exciting. From brainstorming ideas, writing code, and designing art, to late-night debugging and rapid prototyping, there were definitely ups and downs. But through it all, we had fun, learned invaluable lessons, and grew stronger as a team! 💡 We’re excited to share some gameplay from the two games we created during the jam. Check them out below! 🔥👇 A huge shoutout to everyone who participated and gave it their all! The lessons learned during this jam will shape our future projects, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. #GameDevelopment #GameJam #GMTK #Teamwork #Learning #Fun #ArcadeClub #FirstGameJam #game #games

Hello everyone, Today, I had a very fruitful academic discussion on socio-emotional skills in the gaming industry. This topic is becoming increasingly important for game developers and industry professionals to consider. Throughout the discussion, we delved into how socio-emotional skills can be utilized in game design and interactions among players, exploring how communities can be built and gaming experiences enriched. We discovered how these skills play a critical role in areas such as fostering connections among players, developing empathy, and promoting collaboration. Lastly, I'd like to extend sincere thanks to Brigette Stangl for her valuable contributions and insights during this discussion. #GamingIndustry #SocioEmotionalSkills #Game

It's an honor to be part of a panel with esteemed groups like Matrix and KOL's like Yellow Panther. There's a crucial need to assess why certain guilds remain important in today's market, mainly due to their dynamic strategies in creating value when partnering with other projects. Currently, these guilds are concentrating on bringing traditional gamers into the fold, using their skill in nurturing committed, community-like cohorts to boost loyalty. Owning a community with 10,000 dedicated players is far more powerful than having 50,000 players who merely engage with your game for rewards before moving on to the next hot title. I've observed that games launched in this cycle are vastly different from those in the past. Earlier, Web3 games heavily depended on incentives to draw users and create substantial buzz. While incentives are indeed necessary, the lifespan of these products rarely live beyond a few months. Contrastingly, games in this current cycle have stronger economic foundations, focusing more on improving their overall economics than just their tokenomics. The emphasis in this cycle is on gameplay - a principle I always uphold. "Incentives may capture attention, but it's ultimately the gameplay that ensures retention." #Web3Gaming #Web3

👉 What is a choice? Game of Choice, Not Chance (GOC), our platform for creating decision-making role-play games, is built on several key pillars—one of the most important being: choice. When we launched our game Go Nisha Go (GNG), we asked adolescents a simple yet powerful question: What does choice mean to you? Their answers reflected their diverse thoughts, ideas, and lived experiences, highlighting the unique challenges and decisions they navigate every day. #GoNishaGo #PowerOfChoice #YouthVoices #YouthEmpowerment #DigitalInnovation #GameForGood #TechForGood
