now.gg, the mobile cloud company, announced its now.gg Fungible Games (NFG) platform for mobile games developed on Unity, Unreal and Cocos engines. NFG enables the unbundling of the game so pieces of it can be owned by different people, its dynamic re-composition in the cloud, and delivery to the gamer. NFG also enables the games to be interlinked with each other by sharing the unbundled pieces across games.
“I am a big Marvel fan and awed by how they interlink the movies to create the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Mobile Metaverse is inspired by Marvel. Games today are like movies, what if you could interlink them with Matter, Avatars, Space and Time. Matter being things like weapons in a game, Avatars being the heroes, Space are things like maps with portals like Dr. Strange can make, and Time is the time of the gamer.” said Rosen Sharma, CEO and founder of now.gg. “This would be impossible to do today on a phone, but with the processing power of the mobile cloud and the dynamic compositing of games, this becomes possible. We are very excited about this and you will see more games plug into the Metaverse.”
now.gg Fungible Games combines several unique technical capabilities to create a mobile Metaverse. The first is the ability to break down a game into game code, game events, and game art with different people owning different pieces of the game. The NFG platform can do this automatically for some existing games or enable developers to do this programmatically. The game can query, and augment or replace, any of these unbundled components with components from the user or the game’s developer to create a fungible game, introducing an entirely new experience. The second is the real-time dynamic composition of these unbundled elements in the cloud streamed to the user with low latency. Third is the interlinking of the elements between games and also with the user’s own wallets and journey.
