How Sui Blockchain Brings Revolutionary Changes to Game Development

Recently, the game product director of Mysten Labs accepted an interview, sharing his views on the application of Sui Blockchain in the gaming field, as well as how Sui's innovations bring value to game developers.

When talking about the appeal of games to players, he mentioned Bartle's taxonomy, which describes four main types of players: Achievers, Explorers, Socializers, and Killers. Successful games typically design multiple modes to cater to the needs of different types of players and create opportunities for interaction between these types.

Regarding the application of Blockchain technology in games, he believes it is a natural evolution of the gaming business model. Early games relied on the sale of physical cartridges, then shifted to digital downloads and free-to-play models. Blockchain technology further improves this model by introducing true digital asset ownership. This not only allows players to retain the value they gain in games but also creates new revenue streams for developers.

He emphasized that Sui, as a new generation Blockchain, has a design concept centered around assets. Sui's object-oriented design makes it particularly suitable for handling complex game assets and multi-layered relationships, providing developers with greater creative freedom.

When it comes to the future of Web3 games, he believes that the key lies in creating an excellent gaming experience rather than overemphasizing underlying technology. He noted that some top game development talents are entering the Web3 space, which suggests that more high-quality Blockchain games may emerge in the future.

Regarding player behavior, he proposed a hypothesis: when players truly own in-game assets, it may lead to a stronger sense of belonging and engagement. This not only changes the player experience but could also affect the game's business model.

To lower the entry barrier for new users, Sui offers a variety of tools, such as social login and sponsored transactions, allowing developers to simplify complex Web3 operation processes for users.

In the end, he expressed his long-term vision: he hopes that every player in the world can securely own their digital assets on Sui.
