NFTs Take Game Ownership to New Level, Says Blokhaus Founder

NFTs improve interactivity by allowing users to unlock fully modular, community-based gaming experiences whose pieces they own, says Mark Soares , the founder of Blokhaus Inc.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have taken the gaming world by storm. Whether it's limited-edition collectibles, avatar upgrades, or play-to-win incentives, digital assets have given new meaning to in-game ownership.

The ways in which NFTs are available to gamers are becoming increasingly tangible. In the case of Blockxer, the latest blockchain game from Blokhaus Inc., every component of the game has been NFT-ized and available for modification by users.

Mark Soares, the founder of Blokhaus Inc., told Cointelegraph that when every aspect of the game is an NFT, users can create completely "tailor-made" gaming experiences. Everywhere a user turns in this arcade-inspired 8-bit game, there's NFT - from background and characters to weapons and more:

"Imagine the ability to create your own characters, in your own scene, and the ability to gift or sell those mods as an NFT pack to other players."

NFTs allow users to unlock fully modular, community-driven gaming experiences whose pieces they own. Soares compares this customization of an NFT-based game, such as Blockxer, to '90s mixtapes, saying it puts the "power of game creation in the hands of gamers".

As Soares explains, Blockxer's design is quite simplistic, reminiscent of pixelated arcade games from the 90s. It highlights crypto-meme culture and includes characters like a zombie doge.
