"I made my first game in 5 minutes, and now I'm earning money through player donations!"
Last Friday, while sitting on the toilet, I created my first game on my phone.
No coding, no learning engines, I just wrote a storyline like posting on Weibo: "Players start as a wandering swordsman and must choose different fates in three villages..." AI automatically generated scenes and quests, and even a hidden BOSS randomly appeared on the map! The moment I clicked the publish button, the game was already spreading.
This magical experience relies entirely on Redbrick. For the past twenty years, there were only two paths to making games: either suffer through learning programming to become a coder, or burn money hiring outsourcing teams. Now a third path has emerged—it's as natural as creating short videos. Inspiration that bursts forth at two in the morning can become a tradable digital asset before dawn.
What shocked me the most was the economic system. The NFT items players buy in the game can actually be directly exchanged for $BRIC
tokens. Last week, "Swordsman’s Choice" suddenly became popular thanks to a Southeast Asian game streamer, and just the revenue from the villager skin was enough to cover three months' rent. And all of this, without needing to build my own wallet system or connect payment channels.
This platform hides deeper possibilities: as 5.8 million creators begin to transform the gaming industry with visual tools, we are not only producing entertainment products but also constructing economic models for parallel worlds. Every whimsical game setting could give birth to new forms of digital contracts, just as Twitter once disrupted the creative ecosystem by changing the way information is disseminated.
Now my Redbrick backend has 13 unfinished projects—martial arts battle royale, post-apocalyptic romance simulation, and even a blockchain version of Animal Crossing. Perhaps one of those rough DEMOs will become a phenomenon tomorrow. This is not a utopian fantasy; in this sandbox that handles tens of millions of transactions daily, every ordinary person holds a key to reconstruct the virtual world.
