Briefly
- Guild Games yield launched a new publishing division, a YGG Play, focused on occasional, cryptocurrency titles that pointed to the “Casual Degene” game.
- His first edition, Lol Land, is a game on a panel that contains the Pudgy Ponguins Community and offers a token awards.
- The game was launched exclusively on the Pudgy Ponguins abstract chain and received over 100,000 pre -orders before release, YGG states.
After four years of watching the web3 games fighting for finding their audience, the GUILD contributions have decided that the industry must re -examine how it suits players with the type of games, which is actually: light chaos, in “occasional Degen” Vibri.
Instead of persecuting a broad acceptance of mainstream, the guild of the games launched YGG Play, a new game unit dedicated to games that accept Degen culture, with Lol Land, a game with a web browser explicitly designed for cryptocurrency players living in proverbial trenches.
“People play occasional games on their phones while traveling, waiting in line or resting,” said Gabby Dizon, co-founder of YGG Decipher. “They do it for fun, as well as prizes such as stripes, badges or collection items. And happily spend a lot of real money on these games.”
Through his years of establishing players with the web 3 players pioneers of the so -called “Playing” movement from 2020, YGG learned “what is fun, what is doing and what” has led to the development of “some very strong opinions about how to best serve the platform”, Dizon published in a separate division Decipher.
This move is a strategic shift for YGG from investing in web3 games to direct creation. Instead of targeting a mainstream player, the guild focuses on cryptocurrency users who trade memekoin, NFT mint and participate in speculative activities.
The new game, Lol Land, contains four thematic panels, including YGG City, Day Beach Day, Carnival and Ice World Wonderland, which shows Pudgy Ponguin IP with characters that can be played based on members of the community like Aaron Teng -ai Rusk0f.
The game offers two different ways of playing. Free Play provides unlimited rolls without rewards, while the Premium Mod requires the purchase of a roll to earn points redemptive for YGG Tokene from a $ 10 million prize pool.
The game on the headquarters in the browser surpassed the 100,000 pre -orders before launching it exclusively on Abstract Chain, YGG states.
For lol Land players can “earn ygg tokens and [you] He can use them to search for NFTs, “Dizon explained.
The game is directly drawn from Dizon’s experience at Casual Games and his experience in web3 playing after that.
“Before I entered the cryptocurrency and founded YGG, I was a game programmer for a little over 20 years,” Dizon shared Decipher. “Most of my career I made occasional games.”
Degeni over a mass market
The issuance strategy intentionally targets the crypto enthusiasts, and does not try to install traditional players. Dizon claims that this approach refers to the insufficient market segment greater than the hardcore web3 games.
“If you look at the people who trade memecoine, cognacies NFTs or trade on stock markets, these are people you can consider possible players under the label” Casual Degen, “Dizon said.
Asked about how he thinks web3 games might last, Dizon, who claims to rather play RPGs with one player like Clearly unclear: Expedition 33said Decipher It’s a matter of persistence.
“I think web3 games can have a lasting impact on people,” he said. “It’s hard to make games in general. It’s even harder to make games that have new technology and understand what the right format is for this technology, to use it.
