🔶 Web3 Game Checklists

If you want to quickly filter out crappy Web3 gaming projects, then check out this list of red flags by Sparkc

sparkc | WolvesDAO @sparkcsays

I look at nearly 50 gaming projects a week. More than half can be dismissed in under a minute. Here's my list of red flags you can spot from a quick glance at their website & socials. 🚩🚩🚩

What I'd like to add is that if you see these VCs and angel investors shown on their websites like:

🔹Banter Capital

🔹The Carl Moon

... then it's also a 🚩

Remember, just because a project is VC-funded... doesn't mean it's a green flag.

Some VCs promote cash grab projects, and largely dump & prey on retail investors... and that is why it's important to familiarize VCs and other big investing players in the space.

Here's a list of the worst VCs in the crypto space by ZachXBT. I know this thread dates back to 2021, but it's still relevant:

the legendary @sparkcsays created a thread of 🚩red flags 🚩to help us spot bad projects in a glance and ive noticed there arent a lot of threads about green flags to look out for. so heres one i made based of research of his old tweets, comments and other stuff 👇 ✅✅✅

🔶 Web3 Game Overviews & Alphas

Lemz covers here all you need to know about a Web3 game 'Skyborne Legacy' 👾

He listed out the pros and cons of the project, and shared his thoughts on it at the end of the thread, which I really find insightful 👌

🧵 @SkyborneLegacy Skyborne Legacy is a casual MMORPG focused on the social interactions between players and is being developed by @Revolving_Games. *I do not hold assets but have WL for their upcoming mint, but have attempted to remain neutral as possible. 1/🧵⤵️

Cloudz gives an overview of Uldor. He told us essential details about the game concept, characters, and tokenomics.

Are you hooked up to the A.I. narrative that has been everywhere recently?
