One of the things I'm working on (very slowly, here and there) is a specification document for a Hive Game Development Toolkit. The idea is to provide libraries that developers can use to handle all of the common functions that games would need to do (reading the blockchain, managing delegations, account creation, fungible tokens, NFTs, etc). Then hopefully we can find some developers who can work on building it.

Then, we will have the even harder task of actually getting game developers to use it over all of the other available options. Trust me, this is incredibly difficult. Everyone wants to be on Ethereum right now, or to a lesser degree EOS/WAX. It's incredibly hard to get anyone to go with the small, unknown Hive chain. But, with awesome tooling and hopefully some good, high profile Hive games as examples, I think this can be overcome.

Heh, yeah, well... 
When ETH fees flip BTC before a real bull run has even started... 
Let's see how long game devs want to keep hacking away at that unscalable dream. 
I've been saying for over a year now that ETH's niche is DeFi. 
Looks like I might be right. 

Honestly, I just think we need one good example... 
one good prototype to show the potential here. 

It only takes that one person to create a recipe that gets copied and rehashed 1000 times because it actually works and scales up better than the centralized methods. 

But yeah obviously having the tools and documentation available to smooth out the whole process would be a huge starting point.   Also a lot of these games will become cross-platform.  Something super popular on EOS might just decide it's worth it to tap into the Hive community if/when the tools become available to do so.

No offense but this is really interesting and maybe should have been included in the OP! 

However, I get why it wasn't included and imagine that you're saving this for when you have built-out your game toolkit further and are ready to make some announcements. I think this is a great project to be working on and would encourage more devs to reconsider building here. 

It really is hard to compete with ETH at the moment, as it has taken center stage and that's where people want to build. At the same time, they're already experiencing ATHs in Gas fees, pre-bullrun! Meaning that people will certainly be looking around for alternatives that are able to scale and have low/no fees. Also, EOS has a lot of issues last year with people ridiculously high CPU costs that forced many projects to move to sister and side-chains. This leaves the door open for Hive to make a case for being a chain to build on as it has many of the right attributes for gaming and tokenized gaming economies.

Finally, I also think following HF 24 establishing a general direction that much of the greater community buys into will be pivotal in determining Hive's success. These are conversations worth having now to get the ball rolling.

Thanks for putting this post out there, it's important that we put some options on the table to help solidify a vision for the future.
