Although the team is undoxxed and the funding is undisclosed, there are still a lot of bullish points:

🔹 Mobile-friendly

🔹 Marketed more in Asia

🔹 Close to launch

🔹 And more

Highly recommended piece to read by @your_korkor

Really bullish on Web3 games in Asia! 📈

Gaming Kor 🈴 @your_korkor

I polled a question yesterday and it appears that the majority have claimed that APAC will lead the #Web3 gaming scene. However, before we begin to understand why Web3 in APAC could pave the way, let's take a look at why Web2 in APAC is blossoming 🧵

@TimoYouth shares why hyper-casual games are the best genre for mobile web3 games atm 💯

Hyper casual games are simply instantly playable games that players revisit often due to short session length and simple & fun gameplay.

Tɪmo ¥OU†H 🔺 We're Hiring! 🏝🎮 @TimoYouth

1/🧵 Most of the games we have worked on have been ‘Hybrid Casual’. We didn’t come up with the term and it’s been around for years, but still many are not familiar with it. So what is it about and why I think the approach is perfect rn especially for mobile web3 games👇

@your_korkor explains why some do not buy into paid Web3 games 🚫

Gaming Kor 🈴 @your_korkor

Here're some good insights about the earning model of a first-person shooter play-and-own game 'Mothora' by @0xKepler 💡

0xKepler 🔭 | building in stealth @0xKepler

I like @mothora_'s approach to earning. Their economic loop strongly focuses on social coordination and status (each player is part of a DAO) and competition (DAO vs DAO war). Caters to our tribal feelings of in-group (& our rank within) and out-group.

BONUS

I also forgot to include this last time but @skilllevel7 tells us why MMOs are a good fit for Web3 gaming 👾
