On 8 Dec, we are so honored to invite 3 great persons from the most popular Game-Fi projects on Polygon-Robby Yung, Ceo of Animoca Brands’ North American Operations, Bozeba Rezab, Co-Founder & CEO of GAMEE and Keith Rumjahn, CEO of OliveX(BVI) Limited. And for some people who could not engage in our sessions, we’d like to share its recap to you!
Nancy: Welcome everyone to our latest AMA session. I’m Nancy
The channel has now been muted. Today I would like to welcome our friends from ganefi projects REVV, Gamee, DOSE. Let’s welcome @robyung @bozena_rezab @olivexceo!
- First of all, please give a brief introduction to each of the guests, and what is the current progress. @robyung @bozena_rezab @olivexceo
Robby: I’m Robby Yung, the CEO of Animoca Brands, and we have many different Game-Fi projects, including REVV, Gamee, DOSE, and Lympo.
Bozena: Hi, I am Bozena Rezab, Co-founder & CEO of GAMEE, excited about building consumer tech products, in gaming for the past 7 years. GAMEE has reached a community fo 30M gamers, launched a new blockchain gaming platform recently, called Arc8. Arc8 gained 1–5M players in the first weeks of launch and became top Dapp on Polygon.
Keith: Hi everyone, I’m Keith Rumjahn. I’m the CEO and Co-Founder of OliveX (BVI), a digital lifestyle company focused on the health and fitness industry that provides applications, ‘smart technology’ and a user experience built on artificial intelligence, gamification and premium content. We are currently building the world’s first fitness metaverse, connecting the real world physical to the virtual world. DOSE token plays a significant role as it will be a cross-title utility token that connects players with different workout base gameplay under our fitness empire.
2. What do you think is the biggest challenge/difficulty facing current Game-Fi projects? @robyung
Robby: The most exciting thing, as well as a big challenge in this industry (blockchain gaming) is the complete shift in mindset that is happening, shift in how products are built, communicated, how communities get empowered, building together with them. This is very new for all participants in the ecosystem, for us as game creators, for many gaming investors looking into this space, as well as for gamers, that are oftentimes opening their first crypto wallets, trading their first game items. We are all learning every day and figuring out. And yet, we are at the very beginning of everything.
3. What mechanisms have been adopted to protect the game from attacks by front-end robots?@bozena_rezab @olivexceo
Bozena: The most efficient way is to actively work with the community that helps us detect and test solutions protecting the gameplay from various bad actors. This is an ongoing quest for almost all games in this industry.
Keith: Yes. Any game that gives rewards will have cheaters. Even puzzles and dragons have bots. We’ve been doing games for many years and we have an algorithm that is pretty good at figuring out what’s cheating and also the game design is not 100% reliant on running fast. Download Zombies, Run! and you’ll see.
4. At present, there are endless Game-Fi projects on the market. Have you developed any unique functions to highlight the advantages of the project?@robyung @bozena_rezab @olivexceo
Robby: Product differentiation his hard, and with Game-Fi projects many consumers will be looking at the relative yield for different projects to decide where they want to spend their time “playing to earn.” We think this is why it’s very important to 1) make it fun and 2) give as much utility to our users as possible. For example, with the REVV token, you can use it in F1 Deltatime, REVV Racing, MotoGP Ignition, and many other titles.
Bozena: Looking at the market in a broader perspective, there are 2.5bn gamers on this planet and millions of games and apps in AppStore and Google play. We have seen Game-Fi projects pop up all around, but in the bigger context, we are barely seeing a tip of the iceberg. These are only the first pioneers, exploring the future of gaming and possibly also the future of work and finance.. For us at GAMEE, this means we want to stay focused on why we are using blockchain tech in the first place, get as much as hands on experience and stay open-minded, because the industry changes at a very fast pace, and the idea is to build ecosystem that is sustainable long term, attracts people for only for economic gain but also because it is fun and they simply want to be part of the community, part of something bigger.
Keith: As you may know, there is no fitness metaterverse out there yet. So we are the leaders in this metaverse. The gameplay under our fitness empire is also backed by working products such as Dustland Runner and Zombies, Run! and they are all well-known health and fitness apps that provide experience about fitness behind our project. Sweat-to-win and Run-for-Reward is the model behind our blockchain games, this is a brand new concept of connecting the real world fitness to the materverse, so that means players need to physically work out to get rewards. Also, the foundation of our upcoming gameplay is based on the game engine and technology of Zombies, Run! which has over 300,000 monthly active users and 50,000 paying subscribers. We have an existing game engine that people love to play.
【REVV】@robyung
- How do players get the NFT in the REVV game? Is the game a built-in NFT market? Or will it be traded in other NFT markets?
For REVV Racing, we initially airdropped 16,000 cars to people free of charge. To get a car to race in the game, you have to go to a marketplace like OpenSea and buy a car from someone else. There are also a variety of special edition cars that we have created in collaboration with other brands. ation
2. What channels are currently available to obtain REVV tokens? What measures does the project party have to give the token value?
You can buy REVV on Uniswap, KuCoin, Sushiswap, Bittrex, Chiliz, LaToken, Paraswap, Bilaxy, Hoo, Bithumb, Gate.io, Hotbit, Bibox, and Mooniswap., hThe token gets value from its utility, and you can use the token in four different games from Animoca Brands, as well as to buy cars from our partners like Crypto Motors and Hudson Racing.
3. Can you share how REVV organically combines NFT, racing, and play-to-earn mode?
All the cars in REVV Racing are NFT’s, and you can enter races at any time and compete against other racers to be at the top of the leader boards. If you’re the fastest during the week, you’re eligible to win our weekly prize pool. bi
【GAMEE】@bozena_rezab
1. Is there any threshold for players to participate in the game of GAMEE for the first time? Do you have any good advice and guidance for novice players?
Either people already own GMEE token or they invest time & effort to get their first GMEEs.
Arc8 App requires GMEE token to participate in 1v1 matches and tournaments, but has a play and earn grinding loop that enables players to get their first GMEEs and reinvest in tournaments.
G-Bots (game characters) require purchase of the NFT in GMEE token and offer a really nice APR of 200%. Also, several players earned GMEE on Arc8 and used it to purchase G-Bots.
So there is something for everyone, I believe.
2. What are the popular DAPPs currently on the GAMEE platform?
G-Bots are loved. We only offered 1000 of them in pre-sale, first sale is coming on Thursday December 9th. Shortly after, people will be able to unpack the G-Bot and use it in first game inside Arc8 app. That is probably the most exciting part now, we get tons of great feedback and high expectation on this.
3. What are the ways to attract users for GAMEE?
We have a large audience from our free-to-play projects, that we are looking to onboard into blockchain. At the same time, we are seeing completely new people, from crypto community to discover Arc8 and G-Bots and the growth there is driven by community sharing and referencing the project to others.
4. What are the uses of GAMEE tokens?
GMEE token powers multiple play and earn games under GAMEE umbrella. It is used to pay for entrance fees to tournaments and matches in Arc8App,and serves as a reward for players. It is used as means of purchase and upgrading G-Bots and other NFTs, such as G-Bots LAND and ARENAs, that are coming next year.
GMEE token is also a governance token that will enable holders to vote and decide about use of treasury, for prize pools distributions, games roadmap and grants to game creators to launch their games on Arc8.
【DOSE】DUSTLAND RUNNER @olivexceo
1. What is the operating mechanism of the DOSE game? What kind of rewards can users get while exercising?
Let me break it into 2 parts. The utility of DOSE inside our marquee game Dustland Runner and the utility of dose outside of the game. This is the core loop. You select a mission, run. If you complete it, you earn dose and NFT. If you want to go on more difficult missions, you’ll need to spend your DOSE on NFT upgrades. That’s why we’re building a fitness metaverse. We want to play nice with others too. I believe that the next phase of NFT’s is more utility and interoperability. Unlike the traditional game industry where each game is a silo. NTfs allow different games to be interconnected, hence the fitness metaverse. So if you run 100km to unlock a yellow shirt, you should be able to use that in other fitness games too!
Outside of the game, I talked about the Fitness metaverse. Not going to reveal too much but we already have partnerships with global fitness brands like Les Mills, Gold’s gym, Gym aesthetics and more. There’s a lot of potential there.
Here’s an example of how $DOSE is being earned and used in one of our games — Dustland Runner.
2. We learned that after the launch of DOSE TOKEN, the market performance has been very good, so what are the application scenarios of DOSE tokens?
$DOSE is an ERC-20 token which is the main utility token in our fitness metaverse. Players can earn DOSE tokens for completing workout based games in 22 Pushups, Dustland Runner and Dustland Cyclist. These tokens can be used to unlock items, purchase NFTs and participate in special events and game modes.
You can read more about our token here on Medium: https://medium.com/@DOSEToken/heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-dose-83909d11adbc
3. DOSE’s investment institutions and partners, including Animoca Brands, Yield Guild, and Sandbox, are all very strong. Can you tell us what cooperation plans you will have in the future?
We have strong ties to Animoca Brands and our partners. We’re borrowing some of their token designs. Sandbox, Revv, Gamee are Animoca Brand games that all have a fixed supply and they’ve done well. We also have a very intentional release schedule to make sure the price is stable upon release. We’re not reinventing the wheel in parts where we don’t need to. Sweat to win is already new!
One of the key things is that we already have an existing game engine that works really well in Zombies, Run! which has over 300K MAU and 50,000 paying subscribers https://zombiesrungame.com/
Long term, we’ll partner with other games and because we have close ties with Animoca Brands. We have an advantage to have our NFT’s also appear in their games such as sandbox, Rev racing , etc. You can check out all the liquidity pools we have right now with other projects.
Nancy: Ok. It’s time to put an end to today’s AMA. I would also like to thank everyone for joining us here today and stay tuned for more exciting AMAs and events to come! GoodBye!
