As an independent game developer, I once created a niche pixel-style RPG. Although the number of players was small, every comment moved me deeply. However, last year, due to my inability to renew the server, I had to witness the disappearance of this virtual world. The characters, equipment, messages, and memories of dozens of players all vanished into thin air.

This experience made me realize that the 'virtual world' we create does not truly belong to us. Until I met Somnia, a blockchain platform tailored for gaming, entertainment, and creators.

The philosophy of Somnia is to ensure that every digital world can truly exist on the blockchain. Here, I can permanently store every piece of game logic, every character state, and even every plot branch on the blockchain. There are no central servers, no permission reviews, and no risk of disconnection. Once created, this world can exist forever.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if I am no longer just a simple developer, but a true world builder. The core concept of Somnia, "programmable entertainment," is not just about putting assets on the blockchain, but also about creating a completely new paradigm of digital creation.

On this platform, creators can build a persistent, decentralized digital world. This not only protects the fruits of creators' labor but also provides players with a more stable and free gaming environment.

The emergence of Somnia may signify a new era in game development and digital creation. It prompts us to rethink the nature of virtual worlds and the relationship between creators and their works. For independent developers like me, this is undoubtedly an exciting new opportunity.

Although the application of blockchain technology in the gaming field is still in its early stages, the potential it shows is enormous. I believe that as the technology continues to develop and improve, we will see more innovative and lasting digital worlds being born. This may be the future of game development, a beautiful vision that benefits both creators and players.
