Meet the team 👀

We are Tavern Studios Our passions are gaming and Cardano! We are an Indie Gaming studio currently working on our first game, Ale & Axes. Ale & Axes is a next-gen clicker browser game where you lead brave adventurers into the dungeon in the fantasy world of Teya. As you craft and upgrade your adventurers’ gear, you delve deeper into the mysterious underworld, uncovering its hidden secrets.🧙‍♂️

Web3 Gaming is broken... we'll fix it The current approach of most Web3 games is often labeled as "The Future of Gaming" while rather being a bad compromise. Web3 is at the forefront, teams that sell tokens, more Play 2 Earn than actual gaming, and so on. We'll fix that! Our approach puts gaming first; it puts the community first. Ale & Axes Beyond God's Trench will strongly focus on one central topic: How can Cardano and Blockchain technology enhance gaming while not hurting the gaming experience? Gaming first Our main goal is to have a game that's entertaining and fun to play. We use Blockchain technology to enhance this experience, not to put it at the forefront! No NFT/token gating It's important to make the entry barrier as low as possible. Therefore, we will make Ale & Axes Free 2 Play. Less Pay 2 Win Once you put certain things on-chain, you allow them to be freely traded, which can often result in strong Pay 2 Win mechanics. We are doing our best to balance that part out. Community-driven In-Game token Our main in-game currency is a crypto token, $WYRM. Imagine WoW Gold, but freely tradable. We are doing it slightly differently than another project, though. Our team does not get fees, shares, or anything else from the token. The only thing we do is provide liquidity in the beginning. $WYRM is for our game and our community, and the community shouldn't fear us dumping our own token on them in the future. NFTs as the holy grail We set ourselves the goal that our NFT collection should become the in-game items every player wants to get because they enhance their gaming experience a lot while always being able to sell them again if they don't want them anymore. This is achieved through various mechanics, which we explained in one of our Tavern Talks! Web3 Non-Gamers Our game offers a unique opportunity for Web3 community members to join our ecosystem without actively playing the game. This is achieved through both our NFTs and FT being freely tradable. Soft Crypto Introduction We are working on mechanics where gamers will use crypto products like a wallet without actively noticing it. We are simply working these products into existing gaming mechanics/flows. This will give gamers the unique opportunity to get introduced to crypto through a gamified experience, which may spark their interest and onboard them fully into the Cardano community 💯 Final words The above highlights our main focus points in creating an experience that we think truly deserves the title "The Future of Gaming". We have many more details that go into this, which we'll cover over time in the coming posts/videos.
