Video games have now become a part of the lives for so many individuals; some indulge in it to relieve stress and for leisure while others make profits out of it. Whatever the reasons are, more and more are getting hooked with video games. That is why many developers are catching on in this trend creating various game platforms for all ages, gender and genre. However the sad part of it, is that not all video game developers have the capacity, especially finances, to create a game. Not all has the capability to get a loan from the bank to make dreams a reality. And that is when crowdfunding enters into the picture.
Crowdfunding is obviously means that the crowd does the funding and a crowdfunding platform is where all these transactions occur. In a broader perspective, crowdfunding enables creators with little-to-none money to capital sells his or her idea to prospective investors. Once a person is willing to invest in the said product, he will fund the project or campaign and will get his investments once the project has started generating income.
HYPERBRIDGE

Not a unique idea and project but let’s see if they can compete and implement their goals.
It’s a nice project with already few partnerships which I like. But will still probably check on their roadmap accomplishments.
I agree. Many of the new Crypto Startup’s problem is that they don’t have a clear roadmap or missed roadmap schedules.
I also been checking Hyperbridge because Gaming Industry is a huge market and game developers could really benefit on this project.
I would also look on partnerships before involving myself to new ICOs. So far Hyperbridge has some few already as what also is mentioned on this article.
Nice content. First time I heard about Hyperbridge, will try checking and reading their Whitepaper. The bear market has led many startups to suspend and even close their operations.
i check their website and the design was not really that captivating. haha (hope they improved it a little bit, to look more professional)
but it’s not about the design though. i just noticed it. XD
@lufin Funny thing, I also notice the design of their website. Its way different to other big crypto sites. I’d agree they’d better re-design it and make it more appealing. Nonetheless, Hyperbridge its a nice project.
