How Gala Games Improves Web3 Ecosystem with Quality Onboarding

Jason Brink of Gala Games recently appeared as a Guest Speaker on Cointelegraph’s Ask Me Anything (AMA) show to discuss the platform’s initiatives to address current GameFi issues. In this section, we’ll dissect the interview and focus on the key points.

Brink began by highlighting the flaws that have recently been discovered in the Web3 gaming system. This year saw a significant drop in Web3 gaming, owing to some complex infrastructure and onboarding processes. Players who want to have fun while earning money from these games have had to overcome several obstacles in order to gain access to them. Web3 gaming, unlike traditional gaming, necessitates specific knowledge of digital assets and cryptocurrencies for a better experience.

The transition from Web2 to Web3 games has had no effect on players. Web3 values, which are extremely important to the crypto community, are not preferred by gamers. Gala Games, on the other hand, is constantly improving the ecosystem to deliver an immersive gaming experience by streamlining the player onboarding process. When players take ownership of everything they have, the result will be incredible games. The traditional gamer will be more concerned with the blockchain’s fundamental technical layer than with the blockchain itself.

For Traditional Gamers, Web3 is a Complicated Terminology

The most difficult aspect of teaching new Web3 users is convincing them to try out unusual features. Web2 games are much easier to get into than Web3 games because they can be downloaded from Steam and played immediately. Gala Games is working to solve this problem so that you don’t even realize you’re interacting with the blockchain unless you actively seek it out.

It’s all about having fun and playing games, as it should be. Playing Web3 games was strange and difficult to adopt for a long time. For someone who is used to playing AA-A games, these games were garbage, and players were uninterested in them. Before you can discuss game tokenomics and its economic system, you must first create games that are both entertaining and engaging.

The Web3 community presents additional challenges due to a lack of familiarity. Gala Games is collaborating with institutions across the country to establish Web3 programs in order to ease people into the Web3 space. Brink emphasized that they have invested a significant amount of time and effort into this because the gaming industry will change the world in the coming years.

REP: A Web3-Specific Social Media Platform

Gala Games took the REP initiative because the available options are so limited and only a few companies control the market. It is a social media platform designed specifically for the Web3 generation. With REP, you have complete control over your data and your destiny. Gala tokens serve as a gas tax on this Layer-1 Gala chain, which is supported by Node Network, one of the world’s largest ecosystems. REP, like other social media platforms, allows users to share status updates, photos, and other content. REP also includes augmented reality elements similar to Pokemon Go. You can encourage visitors to explore your area and interact with you by placing treasure boxes or waypoints.

You can create your own social media network by sharing only specific REP posts with specific people or the general public. Gala Games stated that their custom social network, Gala Friends, will be the platform’s first social network. It will be fully deployed as an open MVP within the next three months.

Gala Games took a different approach, first determining what it would take to support games in the Web2 format, then determining how to support 700 million DAUs per day, and so on. Eric Schiermeyer, the CEO and co-founder, has extensive experience working on massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) such as Farmville and Zynga.

The Most Important Takeaways from Jason Brink’s Interview

The ecosystem they are creating for the Gala Node is one-of-a-kind. REP was created for and is fully functional on another blockchain. Following that, Gala Games encountered storage issues, rendering IPFS ineffective. Because social media content necessitates its own storage, they created a unique Gala node network and protocol that allows REP to deploy and spin up its own node licensing. At this time, new game-specific channels can be added to the Gala network. There are currently approximately 37,000 nodes.

They will soon launch the Gala Chain Academy to help others learn how to create applications using Gala Chain. According to Jason Brink, the key to creating a sustainable, widespread decentralized ecosystem is to be decentralized and to encourage others to work on it alongside you. New games are constantly being sought to add to the ecosystem.
