Sneak preview of a test animation for our new player model.
@HYTOPIAgg will have its own completely unique style that will differentiate it from other voxel games.
The huge advantage to voxel styles is the low poly count and low resolution textures make turnaround extremely quick for content creators.
Just settling down after a long week at GDC. GDC had a different spirit this time compared to last year. 2023 was more gloomy overall in the middle of a bear market. There were a lot of tourists who wanted to ride the bull and make quick dollars. The last bear cycle cleansed that cohort.
Lots of high value founders who were disciplined with their cash and playing the long game still building really high quality games from the collective market cleansing. It includes founders who have a really strong thesis on how web3 will play a key role in their game and are integrating them with a long term vantage point - they come from a multi-year gaming background in web2 and are crafting out their web3 strategies very carefully
Example -
We met a multi-year gaming veteran that is building one of the most ambitious shooting games. They have previously scaled games to 100mn+ MAU and know to build games that are entertainment first. These are the kind of studios that will create a new benchmark for web3 games from farming type games (eg - pixels) to blockchain games also being more mid core and hard core and at the same time, having a high spectatorship audience. The current state of games are not spectator friendly at all and they miss out on their ability to build a captivating esports community around it.
We met another shooter game that’s building a really interesting anime shooter which is similar to hoyoverse. Hoyoverse scaled to $2bn in annualised revenues last year.
We met some founders who would be an amazing fit for Hytopia and building exciting immersive gaming experiences on top of it as we release into open beta. It feels like a lots of guilds and games in web3 will build worlds on top of Hytopia as we release into open beta.
There seems to be a lot of demand from game devs to have a partner that has player liquidity, the right infra and the right community that can help them grow meaningfully in web3
There are a ton of interesting games that we are currently working with to flesh out their needs and see how they fit within the Hychain ecosystem. We are being very selective with the first set of games that we release as it will set a strong precedence in the market.
Our team also spent the last week in person at GDC and put together a strategy to knock down a few important things that are imperative for us to fix/build, to become the preferred web3 publishing partner for games.
Example -
1. Working on a strategy for a cex listing for $topia which will significantly boost up our ability to onboard more people to $topia. Currently $topia is only tradeable on dex with no cex listing yet. There are 3 problems with this -
i. High gas fees on Ethereum
ii. High friction tech to purchase $topia which will be used for many important things in the future included (redacted)
iii. Difficult for the retail to enter into the Hychain ecosystem
This is an important problem to solve for, to help Hytopia scale to millions of users that own $topia
2. Building a new vertical that will further empower our community more in the upcoming days. Building a grassroots community network for Hytopia and Hychain are amongst those things.
3. Launching the Hychain creator program which will reward creators to build more awareness around Hychain, our frictionless tech, Hytopia, future partner games, (redacted 1), (redacted 2) etc. This will include ambitious creators from our own community who have been on the fence about becoming a full time content creator with Hychain/Hytopia and other KOL’s who worked with us previously with the node sale.
Other than the above items stated above, we discussed many more high priority items.
My highlight was for this month was meeting @iamarkdev, @Temptranquil and @erodwrld who I met for the first time in person and I have more conviction than ever on this team to become a trailblazer for web3 gaming.
