Forte’s open economic platform aims to address the growing misalignment between game developers and players that has resulted from business models, technology, and community platforms being unable to keep pace with the creative innovations and diverse application of games. It enables the creation of new gameplay and world designs that directly support the long-term health of a game through cooperative player-developer economics, or what Forte calls community economics.

“The partners we announced today are all masters of their craft,” said Josh Williams, Forte’s Cofounder and CEO. “They have created and contributed to landmark works that have helped define—and continue to shape—the industry at large. We’ll be combining our economic technology with their extraordinary creative visions to deliver the same type of industry-defining work, and kick-start a new era for games that has community at its core.”
”I’ve spent my career making games that let a player’s own creativity be a part of their experience,” said Will Wright, Cofounder, Gallium Studios. “Forte’s technology is adding to this idea by letting players create and own their own content in our games.”
“Our partnership with Forte lets the community participate in the game economy through content they create and control,” added Lauren Elliott, Cofounder, Gallium Studios. “We’re focused on crafting gameplay and economic designs that are collaborative in nature, so players can engage in original, relevant experiences, and be rewarded for their creativity.”

“Community integration in games has always been a career goal of mine,” said Jeff Tunnell, President, Monster Ideas. “Our collaboration with Forte gives us a chance to explore new economic models that align the efforts of developers and players, and can reshape the way games are funded and created.”
“Penrose’s partnership with Forte is a natural evolution of our journey,” said Eugene YK Chung, Founder and CEO of Penrose. “As we continue to craft our virtual worlds, we are pleased to leverage Forte’s strong infrastructure to build a robust economic foundation. Blockchain’s extraordinary long-term potential will ultimately enable us to offer even more collaborative and consistent human experiences in our journey to empower the pursuit of meaning.”
“We’ve been dedicated to bringing great game experiences to players without the need for new hardware, large downloads, or prohibitive pricing,” said Jia Shen, CEO and Cofounder of GC Turbo. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Forte to create new types of player-centric business models that bring even more benefits to the community.”
Together, Forte and its portfolio of developer partners are exploring, validating, and integrating new gameplay and economic designs in both existing and future games. Some enhance popular gameplay mechanics like earning in-game cosmetics and player rewards. Others explore more radical concepts such as guild ownership and governance, in-game services offered by players to other players, and community-generated experiences.
Forte’s technology facilitates the secure and transparent distribution of economics to both players and developers in these new game designs, thereby aligning their efforts to support a game and its community.
Previously announced game developer partners include Hi-Rez Studios, nWay, Other Ocean, Kongregate, Netmarble EMEA, Magmic, Disruptor Beam, and DECA Games. There are over 20 developer partners in total integrating Forte’s economic technology.
Game titles, additional partners, and more platform details will be announced in the coming months. Follow @FortePlatform for the latest updates.
