Company mission
To be the platform of choice for all of the metaverse developers.
Our take
Developing games on Web3 as it stands requires substantial expertise, experimentation, and usually a cumbersomely large cross-section of different tools - major existing engines like Unity and Unreal don’t support it. This means developers get bogged down in the tech, with less time to focus on actual game design. MetaENGINE's promise of a fully integrated, end-to-end developing and publishing platform - touted as the Shopify for gameFi - is therefore causing a real stir.
The platform is slated to be more comprehensive than any Web3 gameFi tool to date, offering features like real time development capabilities, an easy-to-integrate marketplace of Web3 gaming features like NFT minting and item purchases, global server publishing, and management tools like player analytics and membership tracking.
This is big news, as Web3 gaming is on the cusp of ushering in a new and highly lucrative wave in the multi-billion dollar global gaming market. This means a huge number of startups and incumbents alike are pushing to establish a presence there, and will need a platform like MetaENGINE to do it. The company is already backed by a slew of partners and investors, and if it can pull off its promise is likely to see remarkable continued demand.
