This website is under construction. Yes, I know, it's a terrible thing to say because who does this nowadays? Websites are always under construction. And with agile development and continuous delivery they won't stop being under development ever again. But I'm playing around with platforms, so yes, this simple page replaces the simple, unused site that was once here. Once I'm done playing, if ever, I might actually make something of this. |
Home of Erwin Bell, Game Designer |

I teach students how to design games methodically and research game design theory. I advise game publishers on matters of game design, testing games in development for the qualities of the game mechanics, actions and feelings, research and advise on whether to support a game is viable (green lighting). |

A warning about NFTs and what to do about itEven though I am a game designer, I am also interested in technology and thus I'm educated in the technology of crypto. The hype is gone, the world moved on to other new exciting technologies (as did I), I still think the technology behind crypt has use cases, but there's still a big weakness in crypto and NFTs. Every NFT is not actually non-fungible. Or better said, the asset is not non-fungible. Meaning your NFT can become worthless in a fraction of a second.Yes, a fraction of a second, the time the Ethereum network needs to process your NFT is not in play, nor that of any other DLT. Every NFT, is just a link. Just like an address you put into your browser to visit a site. When you own an NFT, you own a link to the asset, not the asset itself. That asset can be removed or changed, which might leave you with something much different than the asset, maybe with nothing.
This is a big issue to be solved, the prices of NFTs have gotten very high on the peak of the ridiculous hype, with the current tech, all NFT's are worth nothing.
We need an NFA, a Non-Fungible Asset.
An example of how to do it: I'm sure far smarter people can come up with better solutions. |
