Parallel: The Origin Story of Web3’s Breakout Game
MrGone and Kalos are CoFounders of Parallel.
In this episode, we dive into the origin story of Web3's breakout game--Parallel! Join us for a tour of the captivating sci-fi universe of Parallel and its digital trading card game (TCG), which has been in development for over 2 years. Having recently launched in closed beta, Parallel's flagship TCG is getting rave reviews with over 100k matches already played in its first month since launch.
Parallel is a standout in the new world of Web3 gaming, and we are here to dissect how they’ve gone about building this iconic franchise. Most importantly, we'll dive into how this TCG is designed to benefit from the use of their ERC20 token PRIME, cards and in-game assets sold as NFTs, and other Web3 elements to make for more engaging gameplay.
Be sure to listen to the end for some real alpha on Parallel Colony, a new category of gaming promising to be the world's first passive AI avatar game powered by OpenAI!
FYI: All musical scores, sound effects, cinematic trailers, Parallel Landscapes, and more were edited into this video to provide a sense of the immense creativity behind the Parallel Studios team. These creative works are their original works.
