Horizon has launched Sequence Builder, a revolutionary no-code dashboard designed to streamline the management of Web3 games for developers. As a key player in the blockchain revolution, Horizon aims to simplify the complexities of Web3 game development with Sequence Builder, offering a unified solution for live operations and removing third-party dependencies. This innovative tool is poised to unlock the gates to widespread adoption of Web3 gaming by addressing challenges such as blockchain technology complexity, limited understanding of Web3 benefits among players, and resistance from skeptics within the gaming industry.
Sequence Builder is a result of Horizon's extensive experience, dating back to its inception in 2017, when the company began building its Web3 game, Skyweaver. The platform, recognized as one of the 25 Game Changers by Lightspeed and GamesBeat, provides a comprehensive tech stack for game developers, handling infrastructure for onboarding new games and updates. One of the significant hurdles in Web3 game development is onboarding, especially when developers work with multiple technologies such as Unity and Unreal simultaneously. Sequence Builder addresses this challenge by innovating around software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs).
The platform's ultimate goal is to offer developers a one-stop-shop while eliminating third-party dependencies, which often lead to significant snags in game-breaking and experience-breaking scenarios. Horizon believes that educating gamers and empowering gaming studios, both established and indie, is crucial for the broader adoption of Web3 technology. Sequence Builder, born from the minds behind account abstraction technology, has already gained support from industry leaders like Mighty Bear Games and BoomLand, contributing to innovation and engaging millions of gamers.
Web3 technology presents a lucrative opportunity for game publishers, boasting higher retention rates, improved conversion metrics, and increased user spending compared to traditional gaming titles. To illustrate, BoomLand's Hunters On-Chain, a web-powered action RPG, experienced a remarkable 4.5 times surge in D30 retention and a 7.2 times higher average revenue per user (ARPU) with amplified spending from high-value players. Sequence Builder played a pivotal role in achieving these milestones, saving game studios invaluable time and resources.
Peter Kieltyka, CEO at Sequence and Horizon, expressed the significance of Sequence Builder, calling it the pinnacle of their efforts and an embodiment of empowerment, creativity, and growth for the Web3 gaming ecosystem. This revolutionary dashboard enables developers to seamlessly integrate web3 items, marketplaces, data, and experiences into their games, initiating a transformative era of gaming innovation. With Sequence Builder, Horizon strives to propel the gaming industry into a new era where Web3 technology becomes an integral part of the gaming experience.
