BetConstruct introduces revolutionary games built on blockchain technology – European Gaming Industry News

LAMINA1, the Layer 1 blockchain built for open metaverse creators, is adding more gaming expertise to its Early Access Program (EAP) with game development agency Amber. Known for producing games with media and entertainment titans such as Animoca, Disney, Sony and Epic Games, Amber will now bring her creative expertise to the metaverse with the LAMINA1 blockchain via the Amber Merlin Blockchain Game Studio.

Amber created Merlin Studio to enhance the Web3 gaming space by leveraging her extensive knowledge of game development to create immersive and innovative Metaverse and Blockchain experiences. With several promising projects under development and several teams of hybrid Game & Web3 professionals, the Merlin studio is at the forefront of blockchain game development.

Established in spring 2023, the LAMINA1 EAP supports developers, researchers and organizations as they develop, test and refine their projects at LAMINA1. In addition to gaining access to future testnets, dev kits, and more, EAP partners gain a direct line of communication to LAMINA1 to receive guidance and to solicit ongoing feedback as they perfect the tool and interface to the open metaverse of the LAMINA1 ecosystem.

Amber Merlin Studio is among the first wave of developers to join the LAMINA1 EAP following its initial launch earlier this year. With nearly 1,200 game developers, producers and industry leaders in the circle of gaming experiences, this partnership marks a major step forward in Amber’s Blockchain Game Vertical, which uses a variety of blockchain technologies and game engines across multiple studios to explore the exciting new Metaverse of decentralized games .

Along with its participation in the EAP, Amber Merlin Studio will explore the use of the LAMINA1 blockchain with an original title in tandem with the launch of the LAMINA1 Mainnet. This stealth project combines blockchain, AI and composable Metaverse concepts in an exciting new transmedia IP. More details will be shared in the coming months.

“As big fans of Neal Stephenson’s books and vision for the Metaverse, we are excited to partner to explore and expand the Lamina1 ecosystem using Amber’s veteran game development skills to create the future of entertainment across all platforms,” ​​said Marty Caplan, Amber’s Head of Blockchain Games, a 25-year gaming industry veteran with experience from Zynga, EA, Sega and Pixar.

Since its launch in Q1 of 2023, EAP has received over 500 applications from individuals and companies building in the open metaverse. LAMINA1 will continue to introduce Early Access Partners as they move towards the launch of the Betanet and Mainnet, both expected this year.

“Amber is in a very unique position for a game development studio. They have the proverbial 10,000 hours of creating great games for many of the major game publishers and media companies – and are now also building a robust blockchain game portfolio,” said Jamil Moledina, VP Games Partnerships & Media at LAMINA1. “They’ve put in the work to scale fun experiences to a large audience, which syncs perfectly with our vision of where the open metaverse needs to be as the next generation Internet for everyone.”
