Hey guys, what's going on? Happy Wednesday. Again, super excited to kind of bring you guys this AMA. Today we have one of our most recent partners
legend of Arcadia. We got actually legend of Arcadia's executive producer Andy in the building. So what's going on Andy thank you so much for for being with us today.
Hey, thanks to the back for having us here. Now you have one. How's everyone doing?
Everything good on this end. Hopefully everybody listening is you know is having a good day good week and it's similar to the week so Fridays around the corner, you know, so definitely that's obviously great news But now I mean we can honestly we can just get it started you know
for those of you that don't know feel free to kind of give an intro on, you know, yourself kind of, you know, a little bit of background on you and even how you kind of ended up in legend of Arcadia initially. - Absolutely, thanks everyone, thanks everyone. Well, oh gosh, wish I started.
It's a long story. I've been in the gaming space for many years. I started my career in a 10th and games. If I'd like to be studios, if you guys have ever played PUBG Mobile, that is what the studio has built in the past year. That's been more successful. I have built multiple games, titles, ranging from the casual,
casino spectrum to more on the mid core, worked with MBA, worked with via games on my life and helped them bring some of the best mobile games to millions of players globally. I also helped a few stars build their products as well, helped a, most recently helped a FinTech company scale
and build their digital bank and help them expand into Nizia. So how I decided to go into Web 3 was last year we saw there's a big movement into Game 5. We saw the success with Axi. I also have a lot of friends
who has been building games all the lives and told me that about Web 3. I looked at it and decided, you know, this is probably the one's lifetime opportunity. We should definitely build games. I think crypto and gaming has a lot of things in common. So we actually started building games. I asked if you had good friends together and then we'd start building this game.
Legend of KDS, starting last year in just a very short month. We're really excited to get it out to everyone to get tested. We're looking to start testing this game in Q2 this year, so it's very soon. And sometime in Q3, Q4, we will actually launch this game.
And then I guess let me let me just quick intro on Legend and KDA for people that joined as well. Let's you know we are a free to play play to earn a strategy casual action card based game that combines traditional game experience with what you're doing.
2.0 experience. What we call. In addition to experiencing the game's immersive universe, players can also boost the yields, your staking, your battling, your mining. The LA is the game is centered on the fictional colony of Smoltoid like humanoid creatures that we
example, you know, if you ever play Kingdom Hearts, that's kind of the idea that we want to try and get to, so it's toys are the heroes, they're the empty characters, they want to rebel, they want to rebel and revolutionize against the bad people. And so the core of the game is very simple.
We want people to collect, we want people to upgrade their heroes, we want them to try different tactics, we have eight different classes and six different factions, and through these combinations that you use through the gameplay, you can earn rewards, you can, in terms of tokens, in terms of NFTs,
And it helps you if you actually have some extra ones similar to a lot of carpeas games you can trade them on the market you can share them with your friends and many more So that's a quick kind of quick kind of where quick intro about the game
- Oh, I'm sorry about that. I was in mute. I'm so sorry about that. - Yeah, I was talking. I was like, "Heal what's going on?" - No, so when did it go live, actually? Let you know our cavemen.
We're testing right now actually so we finished the build early this year. We're you know polishing up right now looking to you know open up to beta test actually alpha testing in Q2 or Q3 or Q3 Q2 this year and then I think the full official launch will be
looking at sometime Q-224. So we're very keen to show this to everyone and get your feedback and you know absolutely love the game so far and we've been sharing with our friends and family and playing it. They've been loving it. They're giving us a lot of great feedback on how to improve the game. Absolutely.
I mean, you guys have been killing it recently and just the amount of just, you know, followers that you guys have amassed and the game's not really, you know, really live out there is super, super dope. A lot of interactions as well.
I guess, you know, touching on obviously you guys being a game five project out there. I guess what are some of the just features that I guess make Arcadia, you know, unique versus other, I guess, game, you know, games out there. Some cool things you want to highlight about the game.
Absolutely. So, you know, we definitely understand the need for a better user experience. So for us, this is something we focus a lot on. So as an example, for a lot of people who has never used Web3 feature before or understand what is a wallet, we kind of make that very simple for them.
by having a unipast wallet that is a part of the, so unipast is a part of the where we are working close with, providing a NPC wall exclusion with any person who never had a wallet before can easily just do a few clicks and through
simple logins, you'll get a wallet very quickly. We also have Benemast as a logins. So I'm sure for anyone who has any kind of a web3 application, Benemast is a standard devolid, so you can also use a Benemast to log in. So this is actually differentiates from a lot of the games
which either only provides one or the other. We're going to provide two solutions for everyone's use, making it very simple for any kind of users. The second part is that I would say we have a very solid marketplace. You can actually go there to buy them to use to trade them. You know, it's very
your PV and PV emotes where PVU will be you play again you play the story you explore the story of Arcadia we have eight different chapters and we're developing even more and looking for the commute to help us build a story we have PV emotes which you can play with your friends your families people
we never know and just have a lot of fun with it. The extreme part is that we will actually have challenges and championships for you to actually try out. So maybe in more detail, the championship will also provide players with more earning opportunities. The top players can
participate in battles and have rewards. Lastly, our token, our Web 3 part of it is very clear. The core of it revolves around the
of teas. Again, I think I mentioned this is it is a card based casual action based RPG game. So the core of it is for you to collect cards to trade them and to upgrade these cards and as well as find the right combination that you think you will win in the game. So definitely there's a lot of opportunities
for a player to grow their MTs, to increase the value and to increase the utility within the game. As well as for the tokens, you unlock different ways for people to explore, whether it's in the form of a gameplay, through getting more loot boxes for you to unlock new MTs, for you to stake, for each and for each earn.
Got you. Yeah, no, you guys are doing a lot of stuff currently right now and I definitely want to encourage everybody, you know, listening right now or you know, it's gonna later to go. Obviously you guys is Twitter and go to your website, check it out. You know, you guys got a lot of stuff going on. So definitely
definitely go check them out. I was reading as well, while your guys is like white paper, you guys got the Arca token as well. Tell us a little bit more about how that's going to kind of integrate within the system and I guess when you guys are trying to do the TG and IDO
all that stuff. Well, a lot of it's still under the hood. I'm not going to reveal too much just for fun of it. Please follow us on Twitter, on in DC. We will slowly release them as time goes by. But what I can say is that the arcade token is going to be very
different than other tokens you've seen. For a lot of gamefile projects, we commonly see a dual token model. A lot of feedback that we hear from players is that, so which token they should they be investing in or they be focused on because they open up to different two different doors and then some are very confused on the utilities of the tokens.
Does allow them to vote does allow them to unlock new value does it? What do they do? So we actually made it very simple We actually have a single a archive token It is the only government's token for the for legend Acadia, and it is the only token that will provide the in-game
incentives. Now how you get the Arca token is purely by playing our game and you will get that. And when there's a lot of utility cases that we have designed not just to voting but also help you there it is a token that is required for you to unlock higher rewards within the game as well as for you to upgrade your
heroes and make them more valuable. So I would say there's a very special mechanic. If you actually read our white paper, it should be in there as well that we put in where you need to acquire what we call the white ores and the obsidian. And white ores is through what we call the PV
mode, you'll receive it after you receive acplated game and then obsidian will be received when you actually play pbp so you need to challenge other players, you need to improve your ranking and then eventually you'll earn ade obsidians and then these I'm not gonna give away
right now today on how these two token, how these in-game items will work with a token, but you'll be very pleased and surprised that you know this is actually more simple than you think and it'll be a very fun experience for you not just for you to get the token but also to find a way to use the token to enhance your overall game experience as well as a
I was also reading a little bit about just the different types of game modes that exist within the game itself and gameplay, I guess. So what are, I guess, what are the differences? What are the different types of game modes within the game when it launches?
Absolutely, so as I mentioned just then there's two types of in-game items that you'll receive right the white ores and the Obsidian so the one would be one you can get from playing PvE and one you can get from PvP So one you can just have a single put if you just play the game and then understand the story and help and help explore
the world a little bit more you'll get the white horse, if you play with friends, if you play with other players in a PVV game mode then you'll get the Black Ops CD. So it's very simple actually, so I'm sure everyone has played
Some kind of card based game before or they have seen it on videos from youtubers PV gameplay is very simple you You we will actually play the game you explore and you want to be more immersed into the engaging story that we have built for everyone to enjoy you will complete main quest and
and then you'll also do a bit more side quest to go explore the world of Arcadia. The other thing we do is that if you have everyone you upload back in the days, there's a Labyrinth mode where it's a roguelike magame mode that you'll put your skills to test. What you do is that there are different levels that you
you can go with different floors within the lab. So your goal is to tackle as many floors as possible. And every floor you would get new rewards, you explore new events, you'll see new enemies that will play into the story of Arcadia and it will make your experience much more fun.
Also, I would say when there is a mining mode that we actually want to put in the game as well, so through mining you there is also a chance that you will also get the white ore from this game. So I would say the other side of it is we want to focus on social, we want to focus on
playing with your friends. So this is where there's a reenum mode. Now you can go challenge yourself and buy battling other players and then just raise your ranking, climb up the ladder and then show your friends that you can actually do it or beat the friends that you think that has a high rank to you and by improving your skill set, by improving your cards.
And then the higher your rank you are, the more rewards you get. You can all be friends by going through the championship, which I mentioned just then. You can actually play this through a season. And if you just championship, you can get ample rewards in the form of CD and token.
and then which will give you access to ARCA. So just very simply, we're bringing in some of the game modes that people see and love as they play games, whether it's a mobile on PC or anywhere, and we're bringing these experiences into the world of academia and we're bringing it in the form of Web 3 to everyone.
There you go. No, super dope. And the fact that you guys are kind of giving, you know, users the ability to kind of play the game depending on, you know, if they want to just play by themselves or, you know, play with their friends in the arena mode. It's super, you know, it's just a way to attract. I feel like
a lot of more gamers into the game. So in terms of, I guess, there's more of a general question. But yeah, what are your thoughts on, I guess, the current state of game five and, you know, moving forward, like, what are your, you know, I guess your thoughts on the industry and anything like that.
You know, that's the question that we constantly debate with my friends as well too because we do I do have lot friends who when I tell them that I'm building Web 3 they do get curious they ask me what is Web 3 and you know, how's it different than a lot of games that played I think that's a common question that you know a lot of even players have
I know I played your games back when you were in your old privy to pass the interditional gaming, but now you're doing what pregame how's that different. So I think that's the end. That's something for us as a developer, as game developers, we need to answer. And that's something I have
when you play games, or the game-five projects I've seen before, it's a very single person experience. So once you hit a certain point, unless you're trying to team pre-re-self, there's no way to show off your friends. There's no way to actually just show that to play with
other friends or be able to show that you get from experience and you know there's no channel for you to share that. So what we want to do I think the next generation for games is we want to bring that social experience into games so definitely I think a lot of games you see
Today we'll see a lot more focus on PvP, focus on championships and focus on battling. And then you bring your friends over to play with you together. I think that's going to be the big trend going forward. I think the second part of it is that we're going to see a lot more innovative gameplays coming into Web 3.
People will find ways to not just you know stake their tokens and then and get rewards from that I think we find a lot more utility cases for tokens within the game Unlocking new features unlocking new ideas for you to play add to experience And then that will combine with something I would say a more
or solid tokenomics with the gameplay, I think that will actually be the next future of how we see games going forward. For us at Legion Legend in Kadia, we actually take our design very seriously. This is why we came out with a single token model because
We think that players should be focused on understanding what they should be investing in and what they should be getting in terms of rewards. We want them to find a strong utility case that will actually merge into the gameplay with a more seamless experience and we also want them to have fun with their friends.
Absolutely no, I think what you guys are doing again is just great, but then you know I guess in terms of just the whole industry it's just a matter of finding out kind of what works and what does
I feel like there was a lot of talks or just me talking to kind of other gamefire projects. It seems like that model wasn't the best. So it would be just kind of interesting to see how
everything just plays out with I guess just as game 5 evolves itself, you know. But yeah, we'll just keep it pushing in terms of just, you know, we recently announced a collaboration with you
guys. I'm not sure if I obviously, I'm sure you know, but what are some of the things that you know, you're I guess looking forward to some of the things that we're, you know, going to be working on and just how you see the partnership, I guess moving forward.
Well, we think the back is a brilliant company. It's a great multi-chain, can use Tintinus and Meprolocool. It's using some of the best technologies that we've seen on the blockchain. We already integrated as a back into our team.
Part of the team has already started using Zabak and especially we actually love that it's really simple and straightforward payroll interface and very real time experience. You know, I think this is something that we want to get the whole team to be involved in and that we're really excited to try out some of the future
that the back has coming out, for example, the Zebac cart, which we think this new form of payment will actually bring crypto to the masses and bring crypto to a larger crowd. Yeah, no, absolutely. Also, like we like Legend of Arcadia so much that, you know,
If people don't know, we're helping or building our own blockchain as well. We're in talks with Legend of Arcadia as well. So stay tuned for that. If anybody wants to follow more about that, they can go to Nautilus underscore chain.
that's the Twitter. But yeah, like, you know, we've, we've been talking now with Legend of Arcadia for a little bit and we just love their game itself. So definitely want to keep collaborating and helping them out any sort of way we can, you know. So yeah, that's, you know, super excited to be working, working
with them. In terms of, I guess, you know, your guys is, you know, future for this year. Like, what are some of the things that you want to accomplish? Not, well, I guess you, yeah, sure. But in terms of the project itself, what are some of the goals, accomplishments that you guys are, you know, trying to hit this year?
Definitely we want to get this game out to get everyone's test. This is something that we've been paying for a lot of time and we're very excited to get people to come and test our game. I think they'll be very pleasant surprise how different it is and the designs and rewards that we're going to give to the players are going to be very
very different. I think that's something on top of my, that's coming up in actually in a few weeks time, we're going to start our first alpha test. So if you would like, do follow us on Twitter and have a look and see how you actually can get access to it and love to get your feedback.
on the first on the gameplay. I think that's the first step. The second step I would say is to get ready for a full launch sometime in Q3. We were actually working with a lot of partners. The back is one of the few that we are very excited to work with and then we're looking to actually get this game out to even just to different communities.
to help them understand the game and to get them to love the game and start playing it as we build. And we're also trying to bring this game to traditional gamers to the Web2 crowd to help them understand what is a good Web3 game and what it should be looking like and how they can be rewarded.
through the blockchain technology and through Web3. I think lastly, one of the goals we want to hope when we launch this game in Q3, Q4 is that we do hope that this game will be a standard or to show other people what a good game would look like, especially it should not be just the first generation game 5.
projects that we've seen before in the past few years. It's a very single way to experience. I think this should be a dual way experience. It should be letting the players experience with other people to be a crowd. That's something that we're keen and we want to push that. Obviously we have like game features in the mind.
building. We already have started designing what the next few features that we will have after our official launch in Q3, and a lot of it will allow you to build within the game a lot to do, a lot of UCC content. It's very exciting. So obviously I love to hear what everyone is.
What everyone potentially wants to see in a game. Love to get from feedback. Love to hear from the community and love to build this together. Absolutely. No, I think you guys got a great future ahead. You know, just in terms of just games I've kind of talked to throughout my stint at
At Zavik, you guys are doing phenomenal. So it's just a matter of, you know, just keep pushing. At this time, obviously, the market is kind of wonky. So the fact that, you know, it's time to build. It will, you know, it will just basically set you guys up for when the, when the bull market, you know, actually hits. So,
If anybody has any questions, feel free to raise your hand. I can reach you guys up here. We can go over any questions that you guys might have. If not, Andy, great being with you today, man. Thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate it.
And let me know once you guys release, once you guys go to testnet, whatever it is that you guys want to do, if you guys need any help with getting the word out there, feel free to let me know, man. Absolutely. Thanks. Thanks for the back for support. Again, very excited to get everyone to test this
game. We've been showing a few snapshots of what the game looked like within our Twitter accounts. We are very excited to have our fans and the comedies talking ever in discord. We're getting everyone's feedback. We're getting how everyone's very excited to see what's going to look like. And absolutely, I'm very excited.
I have no dope, super fire. And then yeah, again, if anybody has any questions, you know, you guys don't want to answer it here. Feel free to go to at legend of Arcadia, go follow them and I mean send them a DM, whatever it is or go join
join any other socials, do a score telegram and they're great people over there so they'll take care of you guys. But yeah, man, that's all I got from I end. Thank you again for joining and then we'll definitely keep in touch on the telegram group, bro.
Absolutely, thanks bro. Hi man, I would great day. All right, cheers then. Yep
