PWK1.5 will incorporate new game experiences and functions such as the \u201cRPG System\u201d and the \u201cCreator Economy System.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <span class=\"bold\">Enhancing the Web3 game experience significantly, which has been a challenge in the past<\/span><br \/> \u201cGemina Games\u201d offers a new RPG experience based on a full-fledged online RPG, supporting token-bound accounts with the new ERC-6551 standard that greatly enhances the functionality of NFTs. Users can improve the value of their assets by progressing through the game, developing their characters, and accumulating competitive achievements. In addition, each rival country in the game is managed autonomously by a DAO (Distributed Autonomous Organization), and players can earn more returns and rights (Contribute to Earn) by contributing to their own country. Focusing on the game experience, which has been a challenge for Web3 games, we aim to create an RPG that is both fun as a game while still being in the Web3 domain.\n<\/p>\n<p> From JP Games, Jin Matsumoto, our Web3 producer, took the stage to give our presentation. We hope that this award will provide an opportunity for Gemina Games and the PEGASUS WORLD KIT ver1.5 to become popular among a wider range of people. <\/p>\n<p>\n  <span class=\"bold\">About JP GAMES:<\/span><br \/> A game development studio founded by the game creator and CEO Hajime Tabata, who formerly worked on several FINAL FANTASY titles for Square Enix.
