The GOMBLE BUILDERS platform will enable collective game development, empowering small creators.
Game creation is becoming more inclusive and accessible. On Monday, Gomble Games announced the launch of GOMBLE BUILDERS, a platform for collective mobile game development. The platform will enable users to co-develop games, develop assets, and get rewarded for their contributions.
Developers will be able to submit their assets and register them in the form of NFTs, which will give users intellectual property over the asset. If the assets make it into a game, they will be rewarded for their contributions.
“NFTs can now be submitted to be integrated into our next game title—turning idle PFPs into playable assets that share on-chain revenue,” Gomble Games.
The platform also offers AI-powered tools that enable users to auto-generate game logic, NPCs, and other assets. This enables non-developer contributors to also participate in the game design process, significantly lowering the barrier to entry.
Mobile gaming market grows rapidly
Gomble Games is a South Korean game studio with over 100 million users across its games. Unlike most crypto games, Gomble targets mobile app stores and is designed to appeal to a mainstream audience, not just crypto natives. The finished games are meant to be played for enjoyment, and not for crypto rewards.
The mobile gaming market was worth $92.6 billion in 2024, and its revenues are projected to reach $126.06 billion in 2025. Unlike traditional console and PC games, mobile games are typically more accessible and appeal to casual players.
Still, because of high development costs, the gaming industry has significant barriers to entry. For this reason, more and more games, especially in Web3, are turning to collaborative game development, where expertise is crowdsourced from the community.
Despite the growth in traditional gaming, blockchain-based games declined in popularity in 2025. In April, the number of daily active users dropped 10%, to 4.8 million, the lowest level of engagement since the start of the year.
