Unity, a game engine development company, has announced the introduction of several blockchain-based integration options to its platform. The new options offer opportunities for developers to take advantage of digital identity, tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other technologies with direct integration into the Unity engine.
Unity reveals a new decentralization push in its game engine
Unity, one of the largest companies in the gaming industry, has Announced support for a number of new blockchain technologies in its engine. The options, which are developer-focused, will allow users to gain actual ownership of their in-game assets, as well as manage tokens and digital identity solutions that can be exported to the real world.
This means developers will be able to leverage and integrate these technologies into their games in a streamlined way, focusing on creating experiences rather than the technical issues that come with complex blockchain implementations. This includes game design based on play-to-win models and also NFT-centric experiences.
The “verified solution” technologies include 13 different software development kits for integrating blockchain services. Aikon Ore ID, Algorand, Altura, Aptos Labs, Dapper Labs, Immutable X, Infura, Metamask, Nefta, Pocketful of Quarters, Solana, Tezos, and Truffle are the decentralized solutions available for different purposes.
Some of these tools include token management wallets, others focus on facilitating the management of digital identity processes in virtual worlds, and still others offer metaverse creation options.
These “verified solutions” are available for free in the Unity asset store, which means that even small developers can use them to train themselves and build small applications that integrate blockchain, reducing the level of access to such tools.
Unity, Metaverse and Web3
Unity is already being used in metaverse gaming powerhouses like The Sandbox and Decentraland, which are two of the best-known blockchain-powered experiences on the market.
John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, has stated his optimism regarding the adoption of these technologies in the not too distant future. In June, Riccitiello stated that his vision included transforming the Internet into a series of interconnected metaverse sites by 2030.
At the time, Riccitiello claimed that more than 50% of the real-time experiences available in the gaming market are built with Unity tools, making this move all the more significant for the integration of these technologies into games already. existing.
