  • Livekit is building the foundation for communication in the Metaverse

    Our guests today are Russ and David from LiveKit. LiveKit is an open source WebRTC platform aiming to help connect thousands of people in live, interactive digital experiences. LiveKit is enabling builders to connect audio and video sources from hundreds or thousands of users in dynamic ways. Enabling spatial audio and dynamic adjustments allowing people to see and hear in much more organic ways.

    As the digtial world continues to evolve, these sorts of tools are going to prove invaluable to builders, and will enable users to have more natural interactions online.

    In developing passage, we have been pushing the limits of existing WebRTC platforms, and we wanted to talk to Russ and David about the challenges of building dynamic comunication systems for the metaverse.

  • Buckle in for big things! Lex, Arel, and Michael answer your questions!

    This week's episode is an adaptation of a live AMA that we held last Friday. Discord members submitted questions about Passage and Strange Clan and we got on to give them some answers. This project would be nothing without the community that has developed around it. As we cruise into the holiday season, we are reminded how fortunate we are that we have so many people in our community that are passionate about the work we are doing. So thank you all.

    Speaking of the holidays, we want to let you all know that We Build Worlds will be on hiatus for the next couple of weeks as we all take time off to be with our families. But don't go anywhere. We have some big plans for the new year, and we think you guys are really going to like what's coming down the pike. So stay tuned for those announcements.

    From all of us at Three Division, have a happy holiday, and we'll see you all in the new year.

  • The future of play-to-earn gaming with Gabby Dizon

    Our guest today is Gabby Dizon, co-founder of Yield Guild Games, a gaming build and DAO dedicated to investing in NFT games and assets and lowering the price barrier for Play to Earn games like Axie Infinity. In 2018 Gabby began loaning his Axies to players who couldn't afford to buy their own. It quickly became clear that this could open up a new source of income for a lot of people so Gabby and his team began building Yield Guild. To-Date, they've invested in more than a dozen games, and are announcing new partners all the time.

    We wanted to talk to Gabby about his experience with Yield Guild, how it's helping people build new sources of income, and what the future of play to earn gaming looks like.

  • David Hanson talks Ultra and the next evolution of game distribution

    Our guest today is David Hanson, CEO of Ultra, a game hosting platform leveraging blockchain and NFTs. Ultra has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with our digital games, while at the same time, reducing the complexity for both developers and consumers. For developers, the platform hosts a powerful set of tools, making it easy for them to integrate NFTs into their games without any prior blockchain experience. For users, Ultra is built in such a way to make it easy for those new to blockchain to utilize the platform.

    We wanted to talk with David about how Ultra came to be, where it's going, as well as hear more about some of the unique features of the platform.

  • Chris Loverme talks Age of Rust, Steam, and the Future of NFT Games

    Our guest today is Chris Loverme, founder of SpacePirate Games and creator of Age of Rust. Earlier this year Chris was told by Steam that Age of Rust would be taken down because of it's connection to the blockchain. We really wanted to get Chris's perspective on what went down. We also wanted to learn how Age of Rust began, hear Chris' journey as a developer, and his thoughts on the future of NFTs in games.

  • Lex and Arel tell the story of Three Division, Passage, and Strange Clan

    Today, it's just Arel and Lex. As of the recording of this episode, we're a few weeks out from the NFT launch for our crypto game, The Strange Clan. The project took off so quickly that even though we've talked a lot about our past work, there are probably many of you who don't know the story of our company. So, in this episode, Lex and Arel break down the story of Three Division.

    Why did Lex start the company? What did the early years look like? How did Passage come into existence? What led up to the launch of The Strange Clan? There's so much more we could have talked about, so if you like this episode and want to learn more about us and our team, make sure to let us know on Twitter.

  • How Caleb Natale Makes Content That Gets Millions of Views

     Our guest today is Caleb Natale. Caleb does collect some NFTs, but that's not really why I'm talking to him today. Caleb is what I would call a special effects illusionist. He makes magical videos that make you want to watch them several times, just to see if you can see through the illusions.

    Caleb's videos have garnered millions of views and Caleb has gone viral multiple times on multiple platforms. At the time of this recording, Caleb has 182,000 followers on Instagram and 1.8 million on Tiktok. I wanted to learn how he first took off, what he believes is the reason he has reached so many people, and how he comes up with his visual effects illusions.
