Off the Grid Gains Popularity Through Innovative Blockchain Technologies
The Off the Grid hype continues, with notable interest even among non-crypto gamers.
In a recent episode of Empire, Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos interviewed Gunzilla’s Theodore Agranat. Agranat discussed the game's appeal, emphasizing that its success is not solely about crypto but rather about integrating top-tier technologies to enhance user experience. He stated, “It’s all about the gamer and it’s all about the gamer experience.”
To support its marketplace, Gunzilla developed a customized blockchain using an Avalanche subnet due to the inadequacy of existing options.
Off the Grid differentiates itself through narrative elements, a feature often overlooked in battle royale games like Fortnite. This aspect may also attract players who typically prefer different gaming genres.
An analysis of the a16z State of Crypto report reveals that gaming constitutes only 6.3% of current crypto subcategories, which are predominantly focused on DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, and social platforms.
Creating a AAA game requires significant time and financial investment; therefore, Off the Grid may serve as a catalyst for future growth in the gaming sector.
