Abstract:
This research aims to validate the viability of implementing NFT mechanics in a video game. It discusses the blockchain technology’s limitations, as well as the many restrictions that NFT forces on game developers. Be it their immutable nature, their high minting cost, or their incapacity of holding big data. It also highlights the restrictions that prevent the interoperability of game assets, and finally, the ludicrous Play-to-earn business model.
Two games are also developed, Crypto Forgers and Crypto Run, to further validate the findings presented by this research. While these two games are simple in gameplay terms, they excellently showcase the inadequate integration of NFT game features.
