Interview: BreederDao CEO Renz Chong Predicts Autonomous Worlds as Future of Gaming

By Shiela Bertillo and Michael Mislos

The Interview: BreederDao CEO Renz Chong predicts that the future of gaming lies in the creation of autonomous worlds, where players will engage in immersive, interconnected ecosystems.

What’s the significance: This shift promises richer, more immersive virtual environments, changing how players interact with and contribute to games. Chong said in an interview with BitPinas.

In focus: Renz Chong is the CEO of BreederDAO:

• BreederDAO is a blockchain project focused on manufacturing high quality assets for players.
• Recently, BreederDAO won the Phase III playtest and online hackathon for Project Awakening, hosted by CCP Games, the creators of EVE Online.
  • The firm developed an environment for the hackathon that embodies the concept of Autonomous Worlds, enabling various entities to influence and create their own gameplay.

The broader context: Autonomous worlds reflect a trend towards deeper, more participatory virtual experiences, driven by technological and creative innovations.

Autonomous worlds in web3, according to BreederDAO’s Renz Chong:

Chong said autonomous worlds will allow the interconnection of game ecosystems, allowing players to become creators and navigate immersive environments:

• AI-generated content, such as skins and environments, will enhance customization.
• Open ecosystems will enable interoperability between different worlds.
• Players will have the ability to build and deploy smart contracts within the game, fostering a collaborative and dynamic environment.

Key Quote:

“I do believe that it’s a potential future that eventually games itself would become worlds and worlds. Worlds will be created out of these worlds hence worlds of worlds; worlds within the worlds. With all the materials and books that we have read about autonomous worlds, anime and all, it feels like this is where things are going to head at some point in the future.”

BreederDAO in Autonomous Worlds:

“You have AI scans using AI to actually generate like all of these skins and then eventually being able to bring them into your world assuming these worlds are like open ecosystems… I’d say like the autonomous World side is really the culmination of a lot of these many products that we’ve created before.”

However: The transition to autonomous worlds will require significant advancements in AI, blockchain, and network infrastructure. Additionally, there will be challenges related to governance, security, and the management of virtual economies.

Chong comment on current state of blockchain games:

“What differentiates it from the old version right now is that you can also co-create with the game itself. You can build or you can deploy like smart contracts on top of it; thereby converting you just from like a simple player to a builder or a creator.”

Worth reading: In 2022, Chong was one of the Filipino founders of homegrown web3 firms that made the cut to the Forbes 30 under 30 list in Asia.
