PlayerUnknown Artemis

When Brendan Greene (aka PlayerUnknown) left PUBG behind, it was to go off and create one thing new – as most sport builders are inclined to do infrequently. He began a brand new studio, PlayerUnknown Productions, and start work on a brand new open-world challenge presently named Artemis, (We’re certain the identify will change in some unspecified time in the future,) a really formidable massively multiplayer title that requires the creation of its personal engine to tug off its lofty objectives. This is what he’s been doing since.

During this time, blockchain know-how and NFTs have clearly taken maintain within the minds of devs because the “next big thing”, typically to gamers’ displeasure. It needs to be mentioned that like lots of new know-how, blockchain may very well be extremely helpful, notably within the sport area. It’s all about how individuals use it. So far, it seems to many video games which have used blockchain, notably NFTs, have had extra of a destructive affect than a constructive one. So, when somebody like Brendan Greene comes alongside and states that he’s eyeing blockchain for his subsequent challenge – even whereas skirting round saying “NFT”, gamers determine he’s taking a look at doing NFTs.

The subject got here up for Greene, throughout an interview on Nathan Brown’s Hit Points, the place he addressed the metaverse-like nature of Artemis and the problems that come together with that being so closely associated to blockchain and NFTs. During the interview, he acknowledged, that he’s “just going to do what [he’s] going to do.” He went on so as to add, “It’s this thing that [they] want to create and it’s going to give people a lot of fun, a lot of pleasure, and a lot of meaningful things to do.” He additionally acknowledged that it doesn’t matter if it’s known as the metaverse, he doesn’t care about what it’s known as.

What Greene does care about – in line with the interview – is that he feels gamers ought to have the flexibility to “extract value from a digital place”. He feels that gamers ought to be capable to do issues that earn them cash, however clarifies that it’s not about promoting for giant identify firms that have already got some huge cash however “some kid called AwesomePickle selling cool skins because he understands what people want”.

Even although Greene didn’t point out NFTs within the interview, individuals have taken it to deduce that’s what he was getting at, or at greatest, they’re assuming Artemis will probably be a full blockchain challenge. Greene addressed this assumption on Twitter, saying that whereas the corporate is contemplating utilizing blockchain, it gained’t be the inspiration of the sport.

While that doesn’t essentially negate using NFTs in Artemis, a minimum of it ought to imply it gained’t be one thing gamers need to contain themselves with with a purpose to play. It’s additionally value noting that what Greene is describing doesn’t sound that completely different from video games like Second Life, the place gamers have been in a position to make real-world cash by way of the sport’s techniques by creating no matter they really feel like. Perhaps if blockchain had been utilized to one thing like that, it wouldn’t be almost the bane all of us suppose it to be.
