DreamCore: The Future of Game Creation
In a landmark keynote, NEIGHBOR Inc., based in Tokyo and led by CEO Notof, has introduced an innovative initiative: the "DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0." This ambitious framework aims to establish an economic ecosystem where creators are rewarded for making games. Notof outlined the future vision of DreamCore and the company's forthcoming product roadmap, aligning with the core goals of fostering creativity and collaboration among game developers.
Keynote Highlights
During the keynote, Notof detailed the overarching vision of DreamCore, emphasizing the creator economy concept designed to empower individuals to harness their creativity and develop games. The presentation focused on four main themes guiding the evolution of DreamCore:
Create, Play, Earn, and Open Up.
Create: Democratizing Game Development
DreamCore seeks to simplify game development. The platform will enable anyone to create games seamlessly, whether through text, images, hand-drawn sketches, or even voice interactions with AI. Furthermore, the ability to generate 3D characters and backgrounds and the launch of Android applications are pivotal developments.
Play: Building Community and Engagement
The initiative aspires to enhance gameplay accessibility across smartphones and PCs, allowing friends to engage in multiplayer modes, cooperative play, and competitive rounds, all while integrating voice chat features and streaming services.
Earn: Transforming Creativity into Livelihoods
The focal point of the DreamCore initiative is to carve out a space where creators can earn through game development. The "DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0" promises a framework where creators are compensated for their games, effectively transforming their passion into a viable profession.
Open Up: Collaboration and Expansion
DreamCore aims to promote open development kits such as "DreamCorePro," allowing developers and companies to create and innovate freely. Features like AI-driven non-player characters (NPCs) that can converse, along with expanding support for various platforms like LINE and Meta Quest, are also part of the future landscape.
The Rise of the "Short Game Creator"
Just as blogging, social media influencing, and video content creation have given rise to new creator roles, DreamCore posits that the next wave of creators will be "short game creators." Until now, game development required programming skills, expensive hardware, and extensive time commitments, creating substantial barriers for entry. DreamCore aims to dismantle these barriers.
Access Through Smartphones
Previously, owning a computer was essential for game development, limiting who could enter the field. However, with DreamCore, anyone with a smartphone can create games through simple conversational prompts. This inclusivity allows those who could not afford a computer or live in areas where technology is scarce to step into game creation.
Unseen Opportunities in Gaming
The shift toward enabling previously non-creative individuals to become game creators is expected to generate a surge in innovation, potentially leading to the emergence of new genres and entirely new entertainment experiences. The diversity of perspectives will likely lead to unique games and intellectual properties that would never have seen the light under traditional constraints.
Established Foundations
DreamCore isn’t just a theoretical framework; it already showcases practical applications. Numerous creators regularly generate and publish games directly from their smartphones and browsers.
- - Instant Sharing: Games can be shared worldwide via a simple URL for others to play and remix, amplifying interactivity among users.
- - Global Score Rankings: A universal leaderboard allows creators to compete on a global scale.
- - Multilingual Support: Games and user comments are automatically translated into six languages, ensuring accessibility across cultures and languages.
- - Collaborative Success: Notable collaborations with major media entities have led to significant exposure and impressions for creator-generated content.
How DreamCore Creator Economy 1.0 Works
DreamCore envisions a rewarding environment for creators through four pillars:
1.
Revenue for Games: Creators earn income based on their games' popularity and player engagement, driven by a revenue-sharing model.
2.
Asset Creation: Characters crafted by creators can generate residual income when used in other games, establishing ownership and passive benefits.
3.
Remix Culture: Creators will earn "remix royalties" for their original ideas contributing to subsequent creations.
4.
Support for Aspiring Creators: Infrastructure for supporting new creators, including funding opportunities, investment in indie games, and paid advertising through partnerships.
By integrating these concepts, DreamCore aims to cultivate a self-sustaining ecosystem where game creators can thrive, innovate, and continue to pursue their creative ambitions.
A Word from Notof
In his closing remarks, CEO Notof emphasized, "The internet has birthed a range of creators, but game development remained an exclusive domain. DreamCore intends to shatter this barrier, enabling anyone to become a game creator with just a smartphone. New games, narratives, and experiences that would have never emerged in traditional settings are on the horizon, as we lead this innovation in gaming like TikTok did for video content."
Looking for Partnerships
DreamCore is actively seeking collaborations, investments, and joint ventures with stakeholders from various sectors. Investors intrigued by the fusion of AI, gaming, and social interaction as a global opportunity are encouraged to reach out.
