Pokemon, But You Can Kill Them
Being deep in gaming for 3 years, Palworld's success makes me so excited. Here are some details you need to know:
• open-world multiplayer monster-collecting game
• sold 3M copies (~$84M rev, ~$30 each)
• development budget of ~$7M
• #1 top-selling game on Steam atm
• built by an indie gaming studio
• 975K+ concurrent users! (most concurrently played Japanese game ever on Steam)
• ~3 years in development
now let's go a bit deeper...
• studio leans into new tech heavily, CEO is a fan of GenAI & created a game entirely using AI too
• Palworld uses AI in their creation of pets
• CEO also owns a Crypto company named CoinCheck that support NFT's
My thoughts:
• These are anomalies, games can spend 9 figs & 5+ yrs in dev and fail.
• Albeit that, it's ALWAYS great to see indie successes especially at such scale, inspires tens of thousands of people
• Games that lean into a combination of elements that is easy to explain will do really well as most genres get saturated
• Bullish founders that dive deep into new technology. Forget the backlash. Get ready for the future.
Thoughts?

This was shot in our banned #fortnite map. We explain what happened, why it's baffling and suggest some ways we could help make it better.

FORTNITE x NINJAGO ‼️
The Fortnite LEGO mode will have a "Ninjago Dojo" POI and some other places related to Ninjago, which most likely paves the way for a skins collab in the future. Thanks @ColorCoral27 for letting me know.
MONDAY MAYHEM, 001.
A weekly recap to show what being a metaverse content monster looks like.
Starting off with our latest MetaPlex'd episode - The only metaverse-native news show around virtual worlds, culture and gaming.
CALL FOR:
**NFT projects with 3D assets looking to be featured.
Digital fashion looking for a showcase.
**Our 'straight from the Metaverse' show METAPLEX'D returns this week with a mild rework.
Now it's about virtual worlds, culture and gaming. We want to dress my character in the best digital fashion>
We want to feature projects with 3D assets that we can bring into the volume with me.
The show is entirely filmed in Unreal Engine LIVE in a full optical mocap studio. We want to tell the story of the emerging culture from the web3 side of the Metaverse in a completely original way and give projects a chance to be seen the way they were intended, in actual use.
So... we want to hear from you. This week we feature @CyberBrokers_ and the amazing work from @josiebellini
There isn't anybody else making a show like this, it's really hard but it's not about us, it's about a community.
So - let us know what you're up to.
I got up at 8am on Wednesday. Friday at 10pm we finished the World Record #minecraft stream.
The worst part was that you can't play the game sitting down. So, standing for that long... ouch.
But the worst damage to my eyes was the cheap fizz.
Temporarily blinded!

Storytelling
Tell a STORY with your video creations. The hype of "look at this technically cool trailer" is dying down. The era of storytelling is only just beginning.
Hop on board. Get cracking with your favorite video tools and tell me your beautiful stories!
Remember, it's not the fidelity / quality of your video production that matters the most. It's about what story you tell with it.
Let's go! 🔥♥️🎬
Who would have said that at some point we could use #AI to #texture our #3D models? @MeshyAI can really texture anything. From models you import to anything you create in other tools (without any UV mapping needed 🤯).
