We are building a platform where users can create their own worlds, minigames, and adventures for others to play on. One of the games we are making is an MMO to attract players to the platform and to show off the creative and technical capabilities of the platform. The tooling provided to users will allow them to make these experiences with No or little code. Reducing the friction needed to make games, talented users can make world class experiences and earn from them creating a flywheel for more content and users. Part of the roadmap includes integrating NFTs and crypto into the platform, allowing users to tap into another multi-billion dollar industry. By doing this, we tap into our creator and crypto's native network effects. We are a close team that believes the most rewarding things in life are behind the hardest achievements. We hope you'll join us on this journey!
