Building with the @TheSandboxGame studio part 2. Probably the last of these mobile gameplay clips I will be posting for project zebra: covert ops for a while as we continue to ship major altering features like: - New maps and additions - Navigation design/sprite optimization - Texture and Rigging of assets - VFX explosions This will be the LAST update before serious build changes. Job's not finished. #BuiltWithSandbox

Love the thesis behind this. I believe that crypto needs more ecosystems that gives users a reason to stay besides financial incentives, by humanizing the founders building the products.

Whats the obsession with pixel art NFTs; Culture? or just because it feels more familiar to degens? I am genuinely curious here because it clearly looks more ass than 3D nfts This would explain why most games in crypto use pixel art and consequently never manage to break out of the web3 bubble.

What on Earth happened to MagicEden? It used to be the leading launchpad in NFTs for the past 3 years at least but now it's a shadow of its former self and currently cannot even respond to exploits on its own platform? NFTs are getting drained from user's wallets in real time and all I hear is crickets. Very strange

There is a general rule of thumb here on CT; "Make people money and they couldn't care less who you are" I don't make the rules though, don't shoot the messenger.

Bitget Hacked for $170 Million Dollars. We rug that for dessert in crypto games.

PROJECT ZEBRA. That's it, That's the tweet.

We are building a massive suite of games never before seen... And an Agentic prediction layer to rule them ALL.

I see shit like this and I get excited The 2021 onchain gaming craze is slowly returning, we've already seen that with yieldRH by @Skarly Very few projects that have already built stuff and have put in the work will win Gaming + NFTs.

Show me 1 gaming project with over 4 games in active development by a single team and I'll delete my X. We are making HISTORY.

There are very few chains (at least 5 off the top of my head) that are leading the frontier of crypto adoption. Avalanche is one of them and are crushing their niche by far. Working with Nation States/established TradFi Institutions, sports and general consumer brands is unprecedented. You probably won't see any other chain do what Avax is doing here All this makes for a pretty solid ecosystem for any ambitious builder to try out new stuff that can scale vertically and I'm very keen myself. I will say though, that majority of this traction is driven by very large Institutions but not nearly as much are retail ie. regular crypto chads looking to catch a runner, mint an NFT or spend tons of money to climb up a gaming leaderboard of an MMORPG doing millions in volume. This is where I think a real difference can be made to make avalanche more "Consumer-retail facing". 🔺️

The greater the risk, even greater the reward. Believe in something and do it early before the crowd arrives.

Building with the @TheSandboxGame studio part 2. Its been a while since I've been this embarrassed by an NPC in a game I created myself lmao Levels require you to kill the enemy before the time runs out (exactly 2 mins) For anyone wondering why the environment has a white filter that's because its meant to be a "foggy covert mission" (still trying out new filters to see what sticks) Big shout out to @PaulAlfred_ for helping me set this up, dude is goated #BuiltWithSandbox

I find the whole Kalshi wash-trade situation to be very Ironic. It's a typical case of "whoever gets caught is the thief" Also reminds me of the age-old saying: "If you're being chased by a shark, you don't have to outrun it, you only have to make sure that you're not the last person it's chasing." Wash trading is literally the ethos of crypto (shocking) Remember this thing called market making? Yeah, I do too. All of the below items consistitute wash trading: > Giving ambassadors capital to use your platform and post gains (without risk) on X as a marketing strategy. > Market making for tokens/memes > Inflating volume on PERP Dexes > Wash-flipping in NFTs (Random Rock collection sells for 130 ETH-type posts) > Providing Liquidity/Billion dollar TVLs (Most defi projects fall into this category) The list is endless. If anything, what can be considered offensive is the fact that kalshi is reportedly faking around 80% of their volume from the articles I've read. So the "crime" here is the amount, not the act itself.

I wish I had this kind of conviction.

I cannot overemphasize how important it is that we have a leading web3 game or "The Web3 Game" as pilot here put it. Having one that we can look up to as the standard is what will trigger the domino effect in this industry that we have waited years for When we've got even a single AAA game that can make it to platforms like PS5, Xbox etc the web3 gaming scene will be never be the same again. This will trigger the adoption that onboards billions. We as gaming founders, have an opportunity to do something amazing with the launch of GTA6 and reposition the much needed spotlight to crypto. Teams that I think are currently the closest to pulling this off: Special mentions: @WilderWorld @realfrankwilder @playoffthegrid @meatportgg
