ETH is pumping. NFTs are heating up again. And there's this Japanese NFT project that's getting a lot of attention: @TOKYOBEAST_EN. So I took some time to dig deeper. Being based in SEA and someone who's been Esports for years now, what stood out right away for me was who's backing them. Two names in particular: @Cygames_EN and Gumi Inc. Personally, I'm pretty familiar with Cygames already. And I know for a fact that they've been a heavyweight in Japanese gaming for years now. They built Granblue Fantasy, and Uma Musume which both have outstanding revenue metrics. Just Uma Musume alone - it was reported that they have generated over $2.4B in player spend. Yup, $2.4 BILLION. You read that right. And that's from a latest report published just this February. More than that, Cygames also built an ecosystem around long-term IP, even going as far as setting up their own anime studio. Anw, moving on - there's also Gumi. Just like Cygames, they've been around for a while now too. From co-developing Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius to investing early in OpenSea and Animoca. So you can really tell that they are deep on web 3 too. They are also doing things like acquiring ¥1B worth of Bitcoin and participating in validator protocols etc. etc. So yeah, seeing these two names behind Tokyobase makes the whole thing way more interesting. Not just because of what the project says it wants to build but because of who's involved, and the kind of history those names carry. Obviously, I'm not completely sure about the extent of Tokyo Beast's partnership with them but that's what I found out when I was digging even deeper about the project yesterday. You can verify all the info above by yourself btw. All of it are public info. And I encourage you to research more if needed. No conclusions here. Just wanted to share what I've found so far. Anw, again, as usual: this is not a financial, legal or medical advice (lol). This content is for educational and informative purposes only. Figured I'd share some context for anyone else who wants to dig deeper given that they will be minting their NFTs soon. Details: May 15 at 2PM UTC. Supply is limited to 500 pieces. Priced at 0.1 ETH, and it will be happening on @opensea. See you there!

Kaito is valued at $1.75B FDV pre-market. Some say it's still undervalued at that price. But what is Kaito actually building? And why are people so bullish on it? Here’s everything you need to know about @KaitoAI:

RavenQuest has been hitting the headlines on WEB 3 gaming lately. With gamers and speculators talking about it, it has quickly become one of the top-rated games. But how did it all start, and why should you pay attention? Here! I got you covered! 👇

Did you know Waifu games are rising as a juggernaut in the anime gaming sector? And one project in web 3 is about to lead the charge – Avarik Saga. They’re not just any anime game! Here’s the story of their game-changing tech, waifu RPGs, and the future of AI gaming:

iAgent caught my attention lately, especially with how they are planning to leverage gaming, AI, and DePin technology. Last August 29, they organized an AMA with a focus on educating the audience about the role and significance of nodes in blockchain and gaming. So I made a clip below about how @MRRydon, the co-founder of @AethirCloud, explains what nodes are in simple terms and provided a thorough written summary of the 1 hour-long AMA. Here's an overview of AMA on Nodes in Blockchain and Web3 Gaming Guest Speakers: @jamkaa_mgl (@iAgentProtocol), Mark (@AethirCloud), Hondo (iAgent), Blake (@GaiminIo), Naaman (@NodeOps_App). Main Focus: Educating the audience about the role and significance of nodes in blockchain and gaming. Key Points: ▪️ What are Nodes? Nodes are essential for verifying transactions, securing decentralized networks, and validating in-game data. ▪️ Hondo compares nodes to real estate, providing steady cash flow and capital appreciation. Provides stability and consistent cash flow, similar to rental income from property. ▪️ Nodes could offer a way to smooth out portfolio volatility by providing consistent cash flow. ▪️ Selling nodes can kickstart communities, allowing users to participate and strengthen ties with projects. It’s like getting a license to contribute to the network, with rewards for your work. ▪️ Mark explains nodes as like licenses within a network, performing specific roles and ensuring network integrity. Nodes likened to participants in a system doing specific jobs, similar to a taxi driver’s license in a city. ▪️ Nodes act like the "police force" in decentralized networks, ensuring security, transparency, and integrity. ▪️ Gamers will have a significant opportunity to participate in decentralized networks. ▪️ The gaming industry’s integration with Web3 is growing, and seamless onboarding is key to increasing participation. ▪️ Nodes generate continuous income based on contributions, bridging the gap between projects and their communities. ▪️ Nodes could revolutionize sectors like gaming, telecom, and finance, especially in regions like Southeast Asia and Africa. ▪️ There’s a push to educate communities on nodes, making the concept more accessible, with a call for more educational content. ▪️ Nodes will play a key role in decentralized infrastructure over the next decade, with challenges in education and adoption ahead. Genesis Nodes are minting on September 10th! 2000 Nodes will be for sale and as for the price, it's still TBA. Will update this post once they have already announced it. And by the way, they also mentioned that Genesis Nodes offer three times (3X!) the earnings than Public Nodes! Mint and stake to earn AGNT token!

Chat, is this real? I woke up and saw green. I mean, after months of staring at nothing but red charts, doomscrolling through bear market blues, and questioning all my life choices, I almost forgot what green looked like. I blinked once, twice, just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, but nope, that green was still there, staring back at me like a long-lost friend. It felt like waking up in some alternate universe where all my NFTs suddenly decided to remember their value. Like, did the market finally snap out of its depression? Did the JPEGs finally take their meds? It’s like the entire NFT market collectively decided to throw us a lifeline. I swear I heard the faint sound of “Don’t Stop Believin’” playing in the background as I watched the floor price climb up. After months of holding on for dear life, watching everything plummet, and questioning if I’d ever see the light at the end of this tunnel, I’ve got one thing to say: I’ve missed you, NFT bull. 🥳

I've been quietly stacking double rewards with my eSports crew—and it’s been ridiculously easy. You won’t believe that we’re doing it just by simply playing games. Here’s the inside scoop so you can get in on it too.👇🧵

Here's my honest feedback on playing @LumiterraGame, along with my critique and personal suggestions for improving the game. Let's get straight to the point. There's nothing to sugarcoat here. The biggest turn-off for me was the overwhelming complexity right off the bat. Picture this: you’re new to the game, excited to explore, and bam! You’re hit with a barrage of tasks and quests that feel more like chores which can feel taxing and overly grindy since you have to do everything manually. Imagine needing a lot of time just to finish 1 quest. Well to be fair, I understand that this is currently attributed by: — Low monster spawn rates — Significant damage vs. health gaps between monsters and players — Confusing in-game and NPC guides — Amount of players in-game doing the same tasks (everyone had an equal starting point yesterday) It's just, being new and facing such a grind right away. It’s a mood killer. Instead of feeling hooked, I felt drained. There’s no initial hook, no sense of early achievement. Just a slog. Imho, the problem really lies on the early game experience of Lumiterra that could be a huge deterrent for user retention. In most RPGs, they hook you in by making the start easy and rewarding. You get to understand the game mechanics slowly, and you’re encouraged to keep playing. I've played tons of RPGs and spent thousands of clock hours on them and that's always the case. In traditional RPGs, the initial gameplay is usually easier to grasp, helping players: — Understand the mechanics — Feel rewarded for their progress — Be encouraged to return — Ultimately, to create an emotional hook on the players. I mean, sure. There's a whitepaper that you can use as a reference to guide you for whatever is happening inside the game. But reality is? Who will read a wall of texts before playing a game? So as a game, the challenge is how can you make the onboarding process and early game experience as frictionless as possible. So here are some of my personal suggestions for improvement: — Beginner-Friendly Onboarding: Simplify the early game. Make it easy for new players to get into the groove. Clear, straightforward tutorials that introduce the mechanics gradually. — Reward Early Progress: Give players a reason to smile early on. Celebrate their achievements and make them feel accomplished. — Gradual Complexity: Introduce the grind slowly. Start with simple tasks and increase the difficulty as players progress. Keep them interested and challenged without overwhelming them. — Balance Grind and Reward: Ensure the grind is balanced with appropriate rewards. Players should feel their efforts are worth it, especially in the early stages. So far, on the technical aspect, I haven’t encountered any major bugs or technical issues. That’s a plus. But the emotional hook and overall player experience? They need a serious upgrade to keep players coming back. Lumiterra has the potential to be something great. The unique blend of 2D and 3D elements, the cross-platform gameplay, and the diverse features are all fantastic. But the initial player experience needs to be more accessible and engaging. By making the early game easier and more rewarding, Lumiterra can hook players emotionally, encouraging them to invest more time in this game. This critique is more on the general aspect of the game. On how important early gaming experience for: — Improving retention rate through better early game experience. — Bolstering acquisition and onboarding process by creating an engaging environment for new users planning to play the game.

Until next time, @RuniverseGame! It took me two years to rebuild my trust and start playing Web3 games again. I'm so glad I did once again, thanks to the community that first brought me into Web3 – @Ronin_Network. This playtest was unforgettable. Over the past few days, I met a lot incredible people and got to play again with my IRL friends, especially with @hell3nzi, my co-founder on the gaming guild we established which once had over 300+ active players for axie infinity. I'm excited for what's coming up next for the game! I totally enjoyed it. It's a perfect blend of fun and nostalgia. Some might think this is a shill, so for the record, I do not own any Forgotten Runes NFT, and I'm not an ambassador for Ronin or Forgotten Runes. My appreciation and motivation come solely from my experience while trying the game. @Jihoz_Axie & team: great job on onboarding teams and projects with such huge potential on ronin eco once again! Played and recommended to my friends and guild members.
