  • BCGW #54: Fulfilling Gods Unchained’s potential with Chris Clay

    In this episode, I talk to Chris Clay, the new game director of much anticipated blockchain TCG Gods Unchained.

    Chris’ appointment was big news thanks to his previous work on Magic: The Gathering Arena at Wizards of the Coast.

    And, in this podcast, we drill down into the three reasons he was excited to join developer Immutable: team, community, and the game itself.

    Topics covered include:

    • Chris’ previous experience working on Magic
    • His first impressions of blockchain and why it’s important for gaming
    • How he already improved the UX of Gods Unchained and what’s to come
    • Why community is so important for games
    • How Gods Unchained compares to other TCGs
    • What’s next for Gods Unchained?

      • BCGW #53: Crypto Space Commander prepares for lift-off

        We’re into the second year of the Blockchain Gaming World podcast, and kicking off with US developer Lucid Sight.

        We talk to CEO Randy Saaf and CTO Fazri Zubair about their forthcoming space MMO Crypto Space Commander (CSC), which they describe as like ‘EVE Online on the blockchain’.

        The game will be in Steam early access in late August, alongside a pre-sale of game items including the first ships from CSC’s recent licensing deal with Star Trek. 

        Topics covered include:

        • Why Lucid Sight wanted to make a complex MMO such as CSC on the blockchain
        • Why blockchain is an important feature of the game, not the entirety of the game
        • How the development process has progressed (currently Alpha)
        • How CSC will onboard gamers without requiring access to crypto or private keys/wallet etc
        • Why Lucid Sight thinks item ownership is so important for blockchain game adoption
        • The importance of building a community early in a game’s development, including Discord and streaming
        • And how the financial opportunities of NFT trading encourages a deeper community

          • BCGW #52: Talking CryptoWars with e11.io’s Matias Nisenson

            In this episode, Jon discusses the ongoing development of blockchain strategy game CryptoWars with Experimental (aka e11.io) CEO Matias Nisenson.

            Development on CryptoWars started in mid-2018 and since the start of 2019, Experimental has been regularly testing various aspects of the game - from the blockchain infrastructure including Loom Network’s Layer 2 solution through to gameplay features. 

            The game is currently expected to be live in early 2020. 

            Topics covered include:

            • Matias’ history prior to launching Experimental
            • Why Experimental decided to make a strategy blockchain game
            • Why he (still) rates Ethereum over other blockchains
            • The strengths (and weaknesses) of using a sidechain like Loom, especially for UX
            • Why games will be the gateway for mass adoption of blockchain
            • Why CryptoWars’ economy is much more sophisticated than NFT sales
            • The challenges of raising investment
            • What’s next in terms of CryptoWars’ development
