Web2 game design? Your Web3 game is dead.
Degen game design? Your Web3 game will never be mass-adopted.
Lets talk about how to fix this 👇🏻 🐺

It was refreshing to attend a web3 Event where we bonded over personal stories and shared values, instead of wealth and bag holdings self-aggrandising.

This has been one of the best weeks of my life. More than bullish for web3, I'm bullish for my friends ❤️ Thank you

'This is me.' We define ourselves by the IPs we love. We share breadcrumbs of who we are through objects and style.

GDC den was the hub we needed to really connect with fellow builders. Sinjin and Jerry were some of my early connections when I joined web3 who gave me confidence to embrace the new space. It was awesome to meet the legends IRL.

In times of despair, old legends whisper promises of heroes past.

frisbee with muffins was so much fun, your passion to support founders was inspiring and your love for data reports is unmatched 🌟🥐

GDC has never felt fairer, safer, more intimate, real and fun. Make connections you can rely on that aren't barred to enter based on who you know and your CV.
TY♥️ sponsors
WTF is WolvesDEN?
GDC has a problem, and it always has.
It's great if you know people in high places, have a stellar reputation, and a lot of money.
Otherwise? It kind of sucks.

Plus it's even more fun to design. So many complex creative design problems to solve 😄 No boring days when blending genres.
Thank you
@coopernicus01
for the fantastic questions!
Why should games blend genres?
Done correctly, it's a way for smaller titles to stand out, instead of fighting a UA war with larger studios that will crush them.

expounds on this. 👇
I jumped into the crypto Alice in Wonderland hole and I emerged a degen. Loved this quick conversation with Payton at the WolvesDEN.
Web3 gaming is inevitable :)
Builders don’t understand how content creators use this platform and it shows.
You are hiring a content creator because they have a following but you need to dig deeper.
Each creator has a distinct voice which means each has a unique audience.
Stop asking them to copy and…
It's time to revolutionise the relationship between studios and players. It's why I joined web3 gaming.
Thank you
@coopernicus01
for the excellent interview and the platform to share my thoughts! 🔺
Game studios are asking for their users' time, attention, and money.
In exchange, the players get a great game experience. Hopefully.
With games incorporating Web3,

argues that users can now get a little more. 🎙️🎧
Wolves DAO is where the best minds in web3 gaming connect.
In 2024 we move beyond our discord and share with web3 who we are as a community and the experience we have.
The first glimpse of this will be at GDC 2024, where 100+ Wolves out of our 300 are inbound.
GM! I got to meet some of my favourite web3 connections in real life yesterday 🙏🏼
Thank you so much to

Let players purchase in-game crypto assets on mobile with familiar checkout flows:

If you don't have a degen business culture or a web3 marketing lead obsessively online, you HAVE to jump on this opportunity if you want to succeed. Payton is an expert in a niche talent pool with proven success, and repeated success. He's the realest of deals

F2P mobile games have to fix currency inflation frequently. It's generally done by introducing a new currency with new sinks and slowly fading out the inflated currency that's unbalancing the game. Tokenomics can learn a lot from mobile f2p economy issues and solutions

Yesterday I hiked Iceland's 25km Fimmvörðuháls trail. It was so beautiful that it's indescribable.
It's a long hike with sketchy sections but after doing the ring road I can say Iceland's natural beauty can only be fully discovered through a hike like this.
