oh my god jandel acts like a real life supervillain sucking the life out of every game he buys for a quick buck

Amazing to hear Erik’s story as I always heard the legendary story from Jay Severson’s side!

Been a fun wild ride! I don’t really believe in fate but crazy to think we randomly met freshman year as floor mates. Cheers to 19 years…Enjoyed the podcast!

I enjoyed this. I came back to UEFN after a year and I share many of Amy's and especially Alex's views. I think this is going to blow up. Great podcast.

(📢 WARNING 📢) 🔇Sounds Good🔇 but facts is that (Mini Royal Nations) is being totally neglected and there are some disgruntle players, (FARAWAY) don't take the time to fix problems And u might say what needs to be fixed. ( Side note I Have played more that one season ) I played all of Season 7 and the staking for the game broke at the beginning of the Season (Feb 26th was when My Staking Quit working) and to this day isn't fixed, there is (GAME GEAR) that u cant use because when u try to put it on a character it just keeps saying still processing, and (that's 0.9 Sol (per gear) down the drain you cant use it after mint and no one is buying ( WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY) ( IT DON'T WORK) ( NO GEAR ON SKINS NO SHARDS FOR GUNS OR WHAT EVER U GOING FOR) ( CANT COMPLETE CHALLENGES ) ( I Missed out on a few guns this season over this issue) ( Also when playing) ( CAPTURE THE FLAG ) (Beach) the enemies gets stuck in your place to grab the flag ( GUESS IT WOULD BE CALLED YOUR BASE) these dudes will be stuck in mid air) you also have (INVISIBLE PLAYERS) that u have to deal with ( NO SH!T) ( you see just a gun no person there ) hell half the time you already dead before you even notice just a gun strolling by) U teleport to the enemies side of the field ,and take deaths that u shouldn't have to, u fall thought the floor when the game first starts, ( ON CERTAIN BOARDS) ONLY WAY TO FIX IS REFRESH THE GAME THEN U HAVE MORE DEATHS IF U DECIDE TO PLAY OR WAIT TILL THE MATCH IS OVER AND START AGAIN TO AVOID GETTING MORE DEATHS ON THE OVERALL SEASON AND OR RAID ( GAME BLACKS OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAYING FOR NO REASON) when this happens it troughs a report issue or restart game button ( THAT DON'T WORK) u are then forced to wait for the game that has blacked out to finish running before you can start back playing ( REALLY EFFECTS YOU DURING CLAN WARS WHEN TIME IS PART OF THE OVER ALL CHALLENGE ) ITS A SH!T SHOW FOR SURE (REALLY SOUNDS LIKE THEY DOING A GREAT JOB HUH!!!!!) ( I personally have 6 character stuck in the staking port that i cant get back and when u tell them the issues ( Or just ask for help to get your Skins back) (about 5 SOl worth of skins stuck ) well guess what u get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, It has been a horrible experience and don't see it getting better, I hate to have to write this ( BECAUSE I PERSONALLY USE TO LOVE THIS GAME) but it is the truth this dude sitting there acting like everything is (GRAVY) well it might be for (DOOKIE DASH) but it isn't for the >OTHER GAMES U GUYS ARE NEGLECTING... And in his defense I'm sure people are gonna say (Well he just got there). ITS NO EXCUSE FOR (FARAWAY OR WHOEVER) FOR THE WAY (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) HAS BEEN NEGLECTED AND HAS TURNED OUT>>>> PERIOD>>>>> and u think this dude (Spencer) or any of (FARAWAY) cares to fix the issues with (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) before they go and release something else (HELL NO) they Dont. THEY GONNA GO RIGHT AHEAD WITH DOOKIE DASH AS (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) IS A DAMN WASTE LAND. If they really cared you would see a comment from either Spencer or FARAWAY to address these issues with this Game but You Wont THEY ABSOLUTY DON'T CARE ABOUT THERE GAMES OR COMMUNITY...PERIOD. I'm sure this wont be addresses, why would it ( KEEP THE MASSES IN THE DARK) ON HOW THEY REALLY DOING BUSINESS >Maybe they should have been cute and named (Mini Royal Nations) something to do with the Sewers >>>>>>>>>>>>CAUSE IT HAS SURE WENT TO<<<<<<<<SH1T.>>>>>>>>>>>> And I can back all this up ( I HAVE RECIPETS) if anyone Cares. But the Unfortunate thing is (No One Does) ESPECIALLY (FARAWAY) Go TO 21:00 and listen about it isnt to much and they got dedicated teams for each thing ALL CAPPPPPPP ( SORRY ASS EXCUSE FOR A TEAM )THAT IS RUNNING (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) (DA&M INFESTED WITH BUGS) (🪳🦟🦂🐞🪲🐝) U MIGHT WANNA FIRE THERE A$$ SPENCER >>>>>> ( BUT I TRULY GET IT) YUGA LABS SHOWS UP U GUYS START WORKING TOGETHER AND HELL YEAH WE GOT ALL THESE GAMES IPS FROM YUGA LABS AND SPENCER WITH FARAWAY WIN WIN ( YEAH MAYBE FOR U IN THE LONG RUN BUT NOT FOR (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) (== ( FARAWAY I GOT A GREAT IDEA FIX)==) (MINI ROYAL NATIONS) AND STOP SH1TT1NG ON YOUR COMMUNITY'S

Banger, love hearing from Spencer on what's comin soon

This was super insightful, excellent interview. Thanks!

Great ! Thanks

Would love to join you guys on the show some time!

As a mobie gaming startup cofounder I can confirm that generative AI is extremely useful in art production If you use it correctly, taking into account all laws and copyright compliance. We use it extensively and are able make a content-dependent game and still get wonderful graphics with tiny art team (2 guys basically). We've rushes from idea to alpha version in just a 2.5 months. But I can also confirm that it really hard to find money now, because we constantly receive responses to our inquiries to pre-seed funds that 'you need to show metrics, preferably Ret30, and even better ARPDAU. Then come back to us.' It seems that funds just place the pre-seed label in their About site section for no reason, but have completely forgotten what it means. 🙂

Really enjoyed this episode! Thank you for all the insights ✌

awesome content!!!

Great ep! Thanks, Aaron and David.

Niko Vuori the one who rugged all his Blockstars customers and used their money to buy that nice house you see in the background.

Bring back the weekly podcast! 2 - 4 people talking about the week that was, without getting close to fanboy nonsense was much appreciated.

Love it. I think Roblox will still be here in 2034. What I'd like to consider is a thought exercise in where engines are going and how they might converge with AI to supercharge development for anyone, just as Steam revolutionised and democratised distribution. Also Discord tried game distribution back in 2018 with Nitro - not sure they're the future tbh!

Tight ep. You and Sebastian should do this quarterly. Thank you.

Thankyou been waiting for more information

Very interesting and extremely informative podcast! Thank you for the insight!

🇫🇮💚❤️🇸🇦👍

Niko, why didn't you return the solanas that the community invested in your project (that you failed to deliver)?

riiight, so the man from rug factory is here once again. How long till you guys delete our comments ?

Niko return the funds or figure out how to finish blockstars and remove it from all of your platforms including this one!!

Niko figure this out you have already spent millions of investors money and provided nothing for blockstars! If you have abandoned the project why keep it on your profile on here and Twitter etc? Seems like you are hiding something!!!!

Steve, would you consider helping Niko or otherwise find a way to finish his failed web3 project, Blockstars? I want to believe.... that Blockstars will live again.

Niko shouldn't be doing anything blockchain-related after rugging his customers with Blockstars. Ironic, this conversation. Funny how they keep turning off comments to cover it all up.

It sounded like Microsoft was considering a split platform with something more like the Steamdeck / Asus ROG? It feels like with the blending of the Xbox / PC market for them, and the success with the Switch etc. that considering something more powerful but still compatible - trying to set some more standardization through first party games for portable PC play in preparation for VR etc.

Thanks for also posting on CZcams.

Wow! Alexandra and Roy, thank you for this podcast and being so generous. Lots of ideas, information and advice for those of us who create games and are considering also creating movies and TV series. What a time to be alive. Dreaming about Shadow of the Colossus on the movie screen. Roy, best of luck with all the fantastic projects you are working on 👍

Niko rugged us

Dayum bro, you're bringing out all the heavy hitters.

Banger episode. Nice Jon Aaron 🎉

а мария свободная девушка?)

Great job, interesting insights but there was more talking from Arseny about sanctions than the gaming market itself. Naavik, I wrote to you at every channel with a proposition to prepare deeper dive into the region and its dynamics, there is a lot more to uncover. BTW: Arseny there are not many problems moving from Belarus to Poland, there are many incentives for people and companies to relocate.

Xsolla already provides everything you need for web shops including merchant of record, customer support, low fees, a wallet players can use across multiple games, etc

I think the wishlist setup drive is still important for an EA setup - the launches usually have a launch week discount. Sovereign Syndicate did that recently, as did some DLC iirc. I suspect Daily Deals is more about getting players that may now have time for a new, appealing title. Seems very relevant given the 2023 releases once Valve improves the UI.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 02:09 🌐 *The episode discusses the state of web3 trading card games (TCGs) and their fit within the web3 ecosystem.* 02:50 💰 *TCGs, inherently collectible with a notion of rarity and a thriving secondary market, have seen entry into the web3 space by industry veterans, exploring the potential of tradability and play-to-earn features.* 05:23 🎮 *Notable web3 TCGs include Gods Unchained, Sky Weaver, Splinterlands, and Parallel. Each has its unique features and has been around for a while, with varied success in the market.* 08:44 📈 *Comparing web2 TCGs like Hearthstone and Marvel Snap, web3 TCGs are currently smaller in market size but show potential for growth due to their tradability.* 09:11 🔄 *The player base of web3 TCGs is a mix of existing TCG players and web3 natives, attracted by the tradability and play-to-earn aspects. The community has evolved, with a shift towards genuine players.* 12:28 🕹️ *Less than 10 live web3 TCGs currently exist, with around 5 or 6 actively played and polished games. The development cycle is relatively short due to the simplicity of adapting physical card game mechanics.* 14:19 ⚖️ *Balancing in web3 TCGs is a challenge, given the nature of digital assets and the potential impact on players who view cards as investments. Policies around changes after launch vary among developers.* 18:57 👩‍💻 *Most web3 TCGs are initially developed by web3 natives exploring the space. Over time, experienced individuals from the physical and web2 TCG worlds may have joined to contribute their expertise.* 19:25 🧠 *Web3 TCG designers benefit from reverse engineering existing games, blending traditional TCG philosophies with Web3 ethos.* 20:06 💡 *Combining fresh perspectives with traditional TCG philosophies is key for Web3 TCG success.* 21:30 📊 *Blockchain transparency challenges: difficulty in accurately tracking player numbers due to unverified data and incomplete blockchain interactions.* 22:52 💹 *Splinterlands experienced a decline in active wallets, partly attributed to changes in reward structure affecting bot activity.* 23:19 🔄 *Skyweaver relies on third-party data for player statistics, making it challenging to gauge accurate player numbers.* 26:20 💰 *TCG revenue models: Direct sales of sets, booster packs, and in-game items; secondary market transactions with enforced royalties.* 28:40 🔄 *Splinterlands innovates with consumable potions enhancing card rarity during pack openings, experimenting with PFP-based cards like the "Roony," and introducing a land system.* 30:20 🃏 *Web3 TCGs mint cards as NFTs, offering advantages like verifiable rarity and ownership, potentially leading to higher card values.* 32:27 💲 *High-value sales in Web3 TCGs: Personal anecdote of selling a legendary Splinterlands card for a significant profit, indicating the potential for higher margins.* 36:12 🔄 *Splinterlands' play-to-earn model with automated gameplay and short match times attracted both players and bots, shaping its unique transactional nature.* 37:38 🌐 *Splinterlands focused more on its economy and land system than gameplay innovation, potentially leaving it behind other games.* 38:19 🌐 *Gods Unchained, inspired by Hearthstone, faced challenges with Ethereum's limitations, leading to the creation of Immutable X blockchain. Recent challenges with an adult rating from ESRB affected its presence on the Epic Games Store.* 41:24 🚧 *Gods Unchained faced issues with ESRB due to a tournament mode resembling gambling, triggering an adults-only rating and removal from the Epic Games Store. Epic later made an exception for web3 games, highlighting challenges in navigating policies.* 47:00 🛑 *Web3 developers must navigate legal issues related to value flows in games, especially as the definition of gambling evolves. Consideration of legal aspects is crucial, and caution is advised to address potential legal challenges.* 49:06 🎮 *SkyWeaver, despite early polish, struggled to find an engaging game design and revenue model. The focus on building technology, like the Sequence Wallet, diverted attention from game development. The game's blockchain usage is light, possibly impacting web3 traction.* 54:25 🚀 *Parallel is gaining attention, showing growth in closed beta with increasing season pass purchases. While the game has room for improvement, its sci-fi aesthetic and potential under the guidance of smart developers make it worth trying for those interested in the genre.* 56:04 🎮 *Exploring a new web3 trading card game called "Splinterlands," easy to get into with a recent fundraising round.* 56:34 🃏 *Mentioning "Emergence," a now-defunct TCG related to superhero themes, highlighting the challenges faced by TCGs that didn't succeed.* 57:16 ⚽ *Genesis League Sports from Splinterlands, an attempt to branch into sports-related TCGs, with a soccer-themed game called "Genesis League Goals" allowing demo games.* 58:25 🌐 *Discussing the limited TCG player base worldwide and the potential for growth through new audiences, citing Disney's impact on the physical TCG scene.* 59:48 🎭 *Emphasizing the importance of Intellectual Property (IP) in TCGs, stating that having IP attached increases the chances of success.* 01:00:02 🆕 *Exploring the TCG "Flesh and Blood" as an example that succeeded without established IP, highlighting the need for innovation and a niche audience.* 01:02:22 🌐 *Drawing parallels between the early days of web3 TCGs and the success of early mobile games, emphasizing the opportunity for original IP in the web3 space.* 01:03:17 🎬 *Expressing skepticism about the long-term success of web3 TCGs, questioning if the current IPs are strong enough to extend beyond the TCG space.* 01:04:14 📰 *Recommending Devon's article as a comprehensive resource for those interested in web3 and TCGs.* Made with HARPA AI

This video aged... interestingly. Maybe one thing he wants to do before he leaves is clean up the 9M MapleStory fine

Thank you all so much for this fantastic talk!
