LONG DESCRIPTION:
“What is a Blockchain Game?” is a lighthearted commentary on blockchain games and their futurity.
Following the phenomenal surge of cryptocurrency craze and acute public awareness of “the blockchain”, in early 2018, Jerry was intrigued and felt compelled to create something motivated by recent events pertaining to this emerging technology. Coincidentally, him and his wife also welcomed their second child into the world that May. Inspired by their 2 young daughters, he aspired to create something fun yet informative about their future. Combined with his passion for video games (which inspires much of his work) and the desire to make something his kids could eventually enjoy, he conceived this film.
Blockchain technology is still in its infancy, but may very well be at the forefront of the future of gaming.
He sought to parallel this statement by paying homage to both classic and current video games, taking inspiration from old and new, retro and revolutionary, 8-bit and 128-bit - and of course in the spirit of video game culture, he had to throw in a handful of easter eggs and subtle nods.
