The Onchain Game Jam by Bario Entertainment System umbrella is designed to bring talented indie game developers into the onchain gaming economy.
This jam bridges the gap between traditional game developers and decentralized gaming, encouraging creators to explore onchain possibilities while staying true to the creativity and freedom that indie games embody.
What is Onchain Gaming?
Onchain gaming refers to video games that can interact with onchain technology, creating unique, decentralized experiences. However, it's important to note that the Onchain Game Jam is open to all kinds of games—whether they have onchain elements or not. You can create a traditional single-player game, a local multiplayer experience, or a fully onchain-integrated game. All types of games are welcome, and the key is creativity and fun.
In onchain games, elements like in-game items, characters, assets, and even entire game economies can be represented as digital tokens onchain. These tokens, often NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), are owned by the players, meaning they can be traded, sold, or transferred beyond the confines of a single game. This concept empowers players with real ownership and allows for value that extends across different platforms and games.
Structure
Theme: The Game Jam is open to all game types, but creativity and onchain potential are highly encouraged. Developers are free to make anything from RPGs to puzzle games, horror stories to arcade throwbacks. The only condition? Think about how your game could benefit from the features available—whether they’re onchain elements like $BARIO tokens, item ownership, or simply the joy of creating a unique experience.
