There are few hotter spaces in the games or wider technology world right now than NFTs (non fungible tokens), with new stories every day of record sale prices, limited edition drops or innovative business models. Where blockchain had been considered by some in the games industry as something of a red-headed stepchild in previous years, right now developers, publishers and investors are falling over themselves to explore opportunities in the player-owned economy space.
Reality Gaming Group is certainly no newcomer to the space, having launched into blockchain games almost five years ago with the innovative Reality Clash game, which blended NFT weaponry with AR shooting action. Fast-forward to today and the team is once again at the forefront of innovation, working with leading brands like Doctor Who, Smighties and Emojibles as well as former world heavyweight champion Floyd Mayweather Junior to create games and experiences via the Reality Studios creative team, whilst enabling anyone to create and sell digital items via the DAT platform.
We’re delighted to continue our work from previous Blockchain Gamer events and media to welcome the company on board as launch partners of BeyondGames.Biz to share their insight, knowledge and plans. You can hear more from their energetic COO Tony Pearce (himself also a veteran of the mobile games space at I-Play and Player X) in our interview here.
Chris James co-founded BeyondGames.biz parent company Steel Media in 2006. He is a keen future-gazer and having spotted the potential of mobile, VR, and blockchain early on, is always on the lookout for the next big things – which is why he's so excited about this site!
