<blockquote>This article was written by Cryptopia&#39;s Philippine Ambassador Joey Alarilla – a Palanca Award-winning writer and founder of the online publication <a href="https://www.digitallifeasia.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DigitalLifeAsia.net</a>. Joey is a strong advocate for using blockchain technology for good and is active in the Web3 community. He has a long history in the tech industry and can be found on Twitter —&gt; <a href="https://twitter.com/joeyalarilla" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">&#64;joeyalarilla</a>.</blockquote>Whenever I talk to traditional game developers who are trying to make the leap to web3 game development, one of the things they emphasize is culture shock.The traditional model is to focus on developing their game, and then build a community around it once it’s finished. Much to their bewilderment, however, in web3 you must build your community first and gather support, before you even launch your game.Making games is already hard in the first place, but now traditional game developers who wish to transition into blockchain gaming need to master new technology and skill sets. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have web3 companies that are blockchain-savvy and want to create their own games, but lack the game development background and skills.For both camps, however, one X factor makes web3 gaming truly complicated and disruptive: community.Which is why <a href="https://enjinstarter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Enjinstarter</a> CEO and Co-Founder Prakash Somosundram told me in a previous interview that “<a href="https://medium.com/playfix/community-blockchain-gaming-4a5c000e749d" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">community is brutal</a>” in web3.“‘If you make a mistake, they’ll come after you. But if you’re honest, and you come there, and show them it’s an honest mistake and forgive us, they will actually listen and rally around you. But the key thing with web3 is that there’s still no loyalty. People jump from project to project very, very quickly, and it’s up to us now to kind of build that [loyalty], both online and offline, since we’re now living in a post-pandemic world, and that’s one key thing that we see,’ he said.”Of course, this is one of the things that makes blockchain gaming revolutionary – giving the power back to gamers. Because blockchain technology <a href="https://e27.co/why-blockchain-isnt-a-fad-20221004/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">enables decentralization and asset ownership</a>, players of web3 games are literally stakeholders in the game development company and can vote on the direction it will take.<a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/what-blockchain-gaming-means-for-the-future-of-the-economy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Giving ownership</a> puts players back in the driver’s seat.“Blockchain games flip the script on traditional gaming by prioritizing player value creation, doing so by leveraging blockchain technology — predominantly in the form of non fungible tokens (NFTs).“An NFT is a tokenized, digitally secured claim of ownership for a unique, non-interchangeable digital asset. NFTs have a wide case use in virtual gaming worlds, be it as characters, items, virtual plots of land and even digital clothing for avatars.“Thanks to the immutability, and veracity of blockchains, every tokenized in-game item acquired really can belong to the players themselves. In blockchain gaming, users do not have to rely on the permissions or rules of game publishers and creators, and any NFT’s they own can be sold freely on secondary marketplaces both inside and outside of the game.”In a very real sense, community is the lifeblood of web3. The success or failure of a web3 game is not solely dependent on cutting-edge technology and engaging gameplay, but also – and perhaps more so – the loyalty of the community that it has built.Some brands may have gotten away with just paying lip service to community in web2, but this will no longer fly in web3.In the age of decentralization&#x1f95a;, communities are the ones who will decide which web3 project to support, shaping the development and ultimate destiny of a game, NFT collection, and other digital assets.It’s worth noting that this is one of the vital differences between web2 and web3. As <a href="https://zblocks.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zblocks</a> CEO Nitin Kumar has pointed out, web2 helped brands create audiences, but web3 will allow them to <a href="https://www.retailbrew.com/stories/2023/01/03/these-are-the-top-trends-brands-will-pursue-in-web3-and-the-metaverse-this-year" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">convert audiences into communities</a>.As a <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/63d7726487181d5515e4e057/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">metaverse game and virtual city-state</a> built entirely on the blockchain, Cryptopia puts its players first and allows community members to have a strong voice in building this project. This includes creating content not only about the game, but also about the backstory of this metaverse and the four Factions that have different views on how to shape Cryptopian society. This makes Cryptopia a great place of learning, as it also offers content about real-world issues that are important to each Faction and the players who join them.In Cryptopia, content is created not for the sake of creating content, but to encourage the kind of behavior that will make the community grow and attract more people to play the game.In turn, the community co-creates Cryptopia content, in the form of user-generated content, participation in events and contests, and discussions on social media and other channels.Moreover, apart from content and community, Cryptopia also makes use of a third C as an ingredient for success: collaboration.As <a href="https://www.bitskwela.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitskwela</a> CMO and venture builder JC Macalintal puts it: “Collaboration is the <a href="https://e27.co/how-to-launch-collaborations-that-grow-communities-a-guide-for-web3-founders-20230224/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">language of real builders</a> in Web3.”“Partnerships and collaborations, from Twitter Megaspaces, to Discord Stages to even cross posting of tweets and whitelist partnerships, help projects expose themselves to already existing communities. When exposed to already existing communities, projects in turn, are also able to absorb fans from said community who may also be interested in the partner project.”At the end of the day, Cryptopia is so committed to the community that once the game is completed, it will be turned over completely to the players. Since it&#39;s built entirely on the blockchain, Cryptopia embraces the web3 ethos of decentralization, and has no servers that can be shut down.This, in fact, was one of the reasons Cryptopia Founder Frank Bonnet and Co-founder Hansco Leek built Cryptopia, because they wanted a game <a href="https://www.digitallifeasia.net/cryptopia-metaverse-city-state-community/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">completely run by the players</a>.So, are you dreaming of developing your own web3 game?
