Introduction
After years of navigating between multiple gaming platforms, I realized how frustrating it was to juggle different libraries, accounts, and social features. I wanted an experience that connected everything in one place, yet no existing solution delivered that simplicity. That’s when I started exploring the idea of a unified gaming ecosystem - and Paragon was born.
When I began working on Paragon as my graduation project in Shenkar, my initial goal was to design a platform that streamlined the gaming experience across devices. However, I quickly realized that a successful gaming platform needed more than just functionality - it needed to empower gamers with tools for connectivity, security, and community-driven decision-making.
