Gamestarter introduces a brand new concept of blockchain gaming — Play to Immerse (P2I). This unique model leverages the vast gaming communities & guilds and rewards the most active players for their in-game and off-game actions.

Games are an integral part of all cultures since the dawn of civilization and are one of the oldest forms of human social interaction. The advent of videos games brought a new era of gaming, which changed the concept entirely — gaming has turned digital.

Now we can witness the birth of a new era of blockchain gaming, where gaming is no longer seen as a form of fun escapism, but as a means to an additional income or even a good living. As a consequence, the gaming market is booming and gamefi with P2E are seen as one of the next explosive growth frontiers, according to the Messari report.

Gamestarter is not only embracing this reality but also expanding what it means to immerse yourself in state-of-art blockchain gaming, including the community in the very heart of their original game experiences.

As both a philosophical and business narrative, the decision expands on the current trends seen in various other industries, which we believe is here to stay. In which the differentiation between what is “real” or “digital” is being challenged every day thanks to technology such as VR and moves of such companies as Meta (formerly known as Facebook).

This comes as a further realization of the Gamestarter metaverse explained here, and with it came a unique approach towards understanding what a gaming experience is.

P2I — Rise of Play 2 Immerse

This unique model leverages the vast gaming communities and rewards the most active players for their in-game and off-game actions.

Quality World Building & Gameplay + Engagement + Community + Rewards = P2I

Community and in-game actions are seen as core components of the Gamestarter Originals experience. Community and gameplay are not seen as only separate complementary pieces but merged into one enhancing each other.

This is in response to not only trends of social gaming, the rise of let’s plays and influencers, but it’s also a natural evolution of where the GameFi market is going to, as stated in the Messari report.

Thus connecting all the actions which happen outside of the game in social media forums, chats with in-game achievements and rewards allows for a more immersive and rewarding experience.

Hence the in-game universe will encourage positive player behavior, like helpfulness or creativity by incentivizing it. Sometimes in the simplest sense of the world via in-game giveaways.

More details are to be announced soon on how specific titles will reward and integrate their gameplay with the outside world communication.

How will it work?

1. It is important to engage the community of different backgrounds, age groups, and nationalities.

Engaged players who will create guides and reviews on YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, Twitch and submit them for the review of the community will be rewarded via NFTs, in-game tokens, or other assets.

2. To incentivize players for positive behavior in their communication across other communities.

Gamestarter Originals community aims to be the most inclusive and game-centric across the gamefi space.

Players who will create content related to Play to Immerse integrated games will, on a scheduled basis, receive rewards, recognition, and diverse perks.

3. Players will be rewarded for their social activity for helping to formulate different approaches towards the play-to-earn mechanism and assisting new players in getting up to speed quicker.

These players will be selected by the community members themselves for helping grow the game’s popularity, therefore increasing the value of the entire ecosystem.

Gamestarter Originals P2I Integration

“Originals” are Gamestarter’s exclusive in-house creations, which will be funded and accelerated by the Gamestarter Fund. They will also act as game content feeders, similarly to Netflix Originals, adding to the experience and maintaining an engaged community.

Community and in-game actions are seen as core components of the Gamestarter Originals experience. Community and gameplay are not seen as only separate complementary pieces but merged into one enhancing each other.
