@joseprust @AxieInfinity @playcambria @kamigotchiworld missed this beauty too!

The ‘web3 gaming is dead’ narrative is lazy > @AxieInfinity launched its second playtest with a product people are actually enjoying. Instead of chasing Telegram/airdrop metas, they’re staying focused on their MMORPG — and it’s paying off. > @playcambria is starting to tease the next game mode with Dungeons playtest: a risk-to-earn mode with a similar vibes to Onchain Heroes’ Maze of Gains. > @onchainheroes continues to deliver: great player-funded weekly prize pools + constant upgrades to their risk-to-earn ecosystem. > @playgigaverse is building quietly: 500k+ YouTube subs, Gigling races soon, and likely an open world on the way. > @SuperTrip64 keeps building agressively with just two devs, and making the game better every day > @Moku_HQ is wrapping Season 1 with $1.3M in rewards. If they’re sustaining that, revenue is clearly there. > @WilderWorld just launched its open world, a big step toward multiplayer. Still one of the most ambitious projects in the space. > @illuviumio keeps shipping despite pivots: Ronin launch (Deathmatch), TCG, and Overworld coming. > @staratlas still building, still ambitious. > @OthersideMeta continues to build and launching new game modes I can keep going, but CT prefer to focus in shutdowns and failures. No easy money meta right now, unfortunatelly. Please note, this isn't a BULLISH post. Last months was being hard to us, but the best founders are still here, building, and we need to respect that.

I am so, so glad Lattice are finally dead. These guys completely killed any chance of a real onchain gaming scene happening around Ethereum between 2022-2024. And I say that as possibly their biggest "customer"! We (@asph0d37) started building on their MUD engine in 2022 and have been using tech from their stack ever since, for the record. It's possible that we've put more effort and time into using their open source software than anyone, and our business has probably profited more from it. And yet here I am on Twitter dancing on their grave! I have never in my career met a team that combined Lattice's sheer arrogance with their lack of commercial experience. Insane potential was squandered over and over again on bad decisions and dishonesty. Everything around MUD could have been a huge, crypto-defining onchain gaming scene - should have been, in fact. Unfortunately, Lattice and their leadership were narcissistic, extractive, and manipulative. It quickly became apparent to anyone working with them that their CEO was a wannabe tech kingmaker.... who at the time was being backed with lots of Eth research grant money. This is an uncomfortable type of person to work with, actually. It was indicated very strongly to me at one point that this individual, "decided what ended up on Vitalik's desk" and that he had the power to make or break my career in the Eth space unless I did things his way. So, we said fuck that. And we walked away from the entire Ethereum scene to avoid dealing with it. We built our own infra, locked in and forked off an earlier version of their MUD stack, and soloed the entire process of launching @kamigotchiworld to avoid dependence on Lattice. These fuckers actually made me build on Cosmos. Now, a few years later.... we are the only team who actually shipped a game using MUD and found any kind of traction. In fact, we made one of the only revenue-generating onchain games with it! And we did this despite soloing the entire thing with no backing and no contact with the engine devs, on a chain we set up ourselves, with a community we built from zero. And the company that took 8 figures in grants and then tried to play Kingmaker with the entire onchain gaming scene and bully people into doing things their way.... has given up. As you can imagine, I am feeling fairly smug. All that said: The tech works. MUD is an incredible engine and a really important contribution to the @ethereum gaming space - it would not be possible to build true fully-on-chain-games without it. I appreciate the contributions of everyone who worked on it. In fact, in a couple weeks, we'll finally be taking MUD to the Ethereum L1 by releasing the @asph0d37 prologue on prod! Seeing the Mandate was enough to make me think that Ethereum was finally free of all the bad vibes again - but now I know Lattice is gone, I can return home and ship in peace. RIP.

@AzFlin @0xl3th3 @asph0d37 😼

@0xl3th3 @asph0d37 i see a lot of renewed ETH mainnet energy these days hmm.

rlly rlly fun to get to design around eth mainnet we're going for something that can run immortally w/ @asph0d37. my philosophy is to approach that by releasing components of a wider game that each run independently and can be made fully permissionless b4 we move on

@0xl3th3 ✈️👀

@molesy39 was just on the course today myself ☀️🏌️‍♂️🤝

spending most my days finishing this book up, lifting heavy weights, and enjoying the little moments. also golf season is back...i hope you are well friends.

@levelsio Infinite optionality, a perpetual foundation to build on. Agreed completely.

💯 But it's more about having the perpetual income so you can make choices in life that you actually want Like where to live or what to do Instead of being forced to live in a place you don't like to be near an office for a job you don't like

cool little opportunity for the peeps

@kamigotchiworld 🔥🔥

@GregorySchier Lfg man! You got this 🙏

I quit my job in May 2024, almost two years ago. I've spent $143k of savings, trying to make this work. Last month was the first time my bank balance didn't drop. LFG

@kamigotchiworld 😳
