The Evolution of Evrloot: Retro Vibes, Web3 Tools, and a Community First Game


Listen Later

What happens when a retro gaming soul meets cutting-edge Web3 tools? In this episode of Bits of Signum, host Angela Dalton and co-host Eliza Jappinen sit down with Tobi Amann—better known as Deckard—the Co-Founder & CEO of Evrloot. Together they unpack the game’s unlikely origin story, which began not as a game at all, but as an NFT project born from deep community passion. Deckard shares how Evrloot evolved into a full-fledged RPG with lore-rich storytelling, on-chain mechanics, and a player base that built alongside the dev team. From his days in World of Warcraft and Deloitte to Season Two’s tactical gameplay and marketplace economy, this is a conversation about building slowly, ethically, and with purpose in the Web3 space.

About the Guest: Tobi Amann, also known as Deckard, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Evrloot, a community-driven Web3 RPG. A lifelong gamer with a background in consulting and product management—including a stint leading a dev team at Deloitte—Tobi merged his love of gaming with blockchain technology to create one of the space’s most compelling indie titles.
