You're now becoming one of the few people (seriously, less than 10) who know how I joined the gaming space and honestly it's kind of crazy how it all started Picture 17 year old me flying to another country to meet some 30 year old guy I only knew from our Metin2 guild. Yeah, I know how that sounds now, but stick with me here Somehow, I not only survived that potentially questionable decision but actually managed to convince this guy to quit his stable corporate job to build games with me We had absolutely nothing going for us No money, no experience, just a crazy dream and probably too much confidence We started with a Minecraft modded server (you gotta start somewhere) Then we took a shot at a mod for a mobile game and got lucky That early success gave us the push to keep going... ...Until we hit a massive roadblock. Google and Facebook banned our marketing accounts. But you know what? That turned out to be a blessing in disguise We discovered this new app called TikTok about 6-7 years ago, when nobody in gaming was taking it seriously We jumped on it, partnered with our YouTuber and streamer friends, and basically figured out how to make UGC work for games The results blew our minds, our games hit over 1 billion views on TikTok and 200 million on YouTube We ended up becoming one of the top six biggest studios in our genre and get this: we did it without spending a single dollar on marketing Here's what gets me excited now: think about League of Legends, CS:GO, and PUBG. They all started as mods like my titles and then became massive successes, but none of the early supporters who helped build those communities got to share in that success and that feels wrong to me That's why I'm building Crown Chaser differently. I want to do right by our early supporters people like you who believe that we deserve better. I want to build something where gamers actually gets to be part of the journey and not just experience a game

I've heard that web3 games should be fun While I agree with that, many titles have shown us that this is not enough, as fun can easily become boring or hated as prices go down and community starts to FUD and chase the next bigger ROI In this industry the difference between good games or bad games is linked to flip potential and sentiment Therefore the challenge for game studios is about providing players experiences that can grow and sustain scalability rather than getting as much liquidity in the first 24 hours and then seeing the chart nuked and the game fall into oblivion Till now if you released an NFT or Token that action would haunt you to the point that the performance of any other new asset was connected to the performance of the existing one, regardless of product improvements or utility It took the industry several years but I think we are starting to go in the right direction with a seasonality approach With a seasonal approach, teams unlock a 'sandbox' mode where they can experiment and get creative Players can speculate on liquid assets in a matter of weeks, keeping attention spans high which turns into momentum and CT virality Teams also get data from these seasons that will help with development and set a route to what will be the official game release Gaming Super Economy

The harsh truth about content creation If you're not pissing someone off, you're probably not growing Some of them I've watched grow from thousand subs to millions on YT and TikTok. Back then, making content was "cringe" There's always one trait that distinguishes their growth: They polarize with their content. It leaves you either agreeing or disagreeing You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette Don't be afraid of doing that
