At present, the blockchain gaming sector remains relatively undervalued. Many of the games within this domain fall short when compared to their traditional web2 counterparts. This discrepancy largely stems from the lack of a robust ecosystem and user-friendly tools tailored specifically for designing and developing blockchain games. As a result, developers are often deterred from delving into this space. What's needed is a comprehensive gaming toolchain akin to established game engines such as Unity and Unreal. Such a toolchain would streamline the development process for creating web3 games, making it more accessible and appealing to developers.
