Problems and Solutions
Funding and Financial Support
Challenge
Game developers often struggle to find the necessary funding to bring their projects to fruition.
Solution
Burst tackles this issue by providing funding through Initial Publisher Offerings (IPOs), offering an alternative to traditional investment methods. This approach allows game projects to receive direct investments, enabling developers to maintain creative freedom while offering players and investors a chance to earn revenue from the games they support.
Marketing and Visibility
Challenge
Independent developers frequently face difficulties in effectively marketing their games and reaching a wide audience.
Solution
Burst aims to resolve this by offering marketing support and utilizing a blockchain-based community to create awareness and directly engage with player communities. Additionally, the platform provides data-driven tools to help developers optimize and monetize their games, enhancing visibility in a crowded market.
Creative Control and Revenue Sharing
Challenge
Traditional publishers often exert significant control over the creative direction of a game and take a substantial share of the revenue.
Solution
Burst addresses this by ensuring a fair distribution of revenue, allocating a significant portion to the game studio, a considerable share to the investors, and the remainder to the platform itself. This model allows developers to retain creative control and ensures all stakeholders receive a fair share of the game's success.
Distribution and Access
Challenge
Games often encounter challenges in accessing large markets and different geographies.
Solution
Burst facilitates the global distribution of games by leveraging blockchain technology, which simplifies worldwide distribution and accessibility. The platform can also support the localization of games to reach players across various languages and cultures, expanding market reach.
Community Engagement and Feedback
Challenge
Developers may struggle to receive adequate feedback from the community during the game development process.
Solution
Burst solves this by creating a direct channel of communication between developers and players. The platform makes it easier to gather feedback from the community, even in the early stages of development, and integrate this feedback into the development process. This helps in creating games that are more successful and in line with community expectations.
By offering innovative solutions to the fundamental problems in the gaming industry, Burst aims to create a more equitable, transparent, and participatory gaming ecosystem. This approach not only benefits developers by alleviating common challenges but also enhances the gaming experience for players, fostering a more vibrant and engaged gaming community.
