Controversial opinion: People that buy land in blockchain games should be forced to use it or else risk losing control of it (or pay a tax). You can’t have a fun game or build a real community if all the land owners don’t even login. Georgism for the metaverse?
Thrilled to welcome HV-MTL and Legends of the Mara into the
@farawaygg
ecosystem!. And just as excited to officially welcome
@EverydayZukini
to the Faraway family.
We are very thankful to

team for trusting us as the next stewards of this IP and are…
Big news to share: Faraway is acquiring HV-MTL and Legends of the Mara. We’re incredibly excited to take this IP to new heights by building on the strong foundation that Yuga has created.
That starts by rewarding the community. Keep an eye on your metadata today. As a first…
1/ In play-to-earn, your best/most engaged players may never login. Cue everybody's minds in F2P exploding 🤯. Similar behavior to what we see in games like
@EveOnline
where "masterminds" are giving orders to their clans behind the scenes
When talking to gamers, introduce your game as a game with an open economy.
Blockchain game, web3 game, crypto game, NFT game, dApp, etc. mean nothing to gamers.
"Blockchain" is a tool, not a genre.
What stage do you think blockchain gaming is in now? Mobile F2P completely changed with the release of
@ClashofClans
. Feels like a similar monumental event is about to happen in blockchain gaming any day now...
With our new stewardship of LoTM and HV-MTL, we’re doing things a bit differently. Based on community feedback, we’ve decided to enable trading on OpenSea and Blur for HV-MTLs, Sewer Passes, Kodamaras, Maras, Catalysts, Vessels, Ship Parts and Partner Loot.
Development Timelines
- Valorant: 6 years
- Starcraft 2: 7 years
- GTA 5: 5 years
All games made by big established teams with built-out processes and existing core tech. How can people be claiming to build a “AAA metaverse” with an open economy in less time from scratch?

is not only a fun and engaging game but it turns out you can actually earn some $$$ here too. Managed to sell an item I crafted for $200, I think we finally have a web3 game that ticks all the boxes, gameplay, artwork, sounds, story and earning! 10/10
Exciting news! 🚨

Special thanks to our

📣 Hear ye hear ye: There's been a release! 📣
⚔️ Battle Pass is now live
❄️ Season Quests are open

See our full release notes here:
I've said it before. Browser is the optimal platform for any blockchain game:
1. No Installation Required + Viral Adoption
2. No Hardware Limitations
3. Native Integration with Web3 Wallets
4. No Platform Risk
Want to play
@Serumcity
but don’t have a base? A cool feature is an access code that lets the pass holder delegate play with NO WALLET CONNECTION required. Happy to share access to my newly acquired level 18 oath base. Reply below or dm ! Cheers

@TenaciousEth
tbh I have no idea why this UI was shared. It is not reflective of the game at all and was a super fast concept we did before dev even started. As you've seen in later screenshots, the game is portrait and not landscape. So again, I have no idea why this UI was…

If you want your favorite PFP made into a character you can play on Dookey Dash Unclogged as well as FARAWAY's entire ecosystem of games (and sell on the FARAWAY marketplace)…
Love seeing all these types of structures show up already! Excited to see more play out in Season 1 when global supply caps for minted Kaos items start getting hit
Have 5+ unplayed serum city passes that Im looking to delegate out.
If the build gets to level 20+ then 100% of crafted items will go to the player. dont wanna leave them unplayed and focused on my 2.
LMK if you wanna play!
Next month we release the open beta for LoTM — and there’s much more to come. We’ve partnered with
@farawaygg
and are building a major expansion in Unity. But we want to get an early version in the community’s hands now so you can play and provide feedback while we keep building.
Heavily biased here, but when it comes to pure web3 gaming,
@farawaygg
are by far the most advanced and deliberate builders in the category.
It’s been an honor to work with this team, we have a lot more in the works too. Ape on 🦍
@EveOnline
2/ In this context, how do we track high level stats like player engagement, retention/regularity, etc to make sure the game and community is healthy?
@SebPark
@amytongwu
@nagual_ape
thinking about our recent convos. Maybe games need to track entirely different stats in P2E?

I believe Yuga will clarify later that they are just sharing concepts during the dev process. But imo it would have been better to share concepts that were more reflective of the actual design style and not concepts made before dev even started
Play with your Apes now in other ecosystems totally outside of Faraway! Once you're finished dashing through the sewers, everybody can now go and explore

In F2P, sci-fi and dark fantasy genres typically failed to get installs - even Eve Online only has 400k MAU. We're seeing a lot of teams in blockchain gaming going after these genres / art styles for mass market hits. Will it work this time?
Interoperable creator economies 🚀
Launching with a $PEPE version of a Season 4 Mini Royale hero...of course
Whoever made this knew how to monetize me instantly
UPDATE 🚨
We're going all in to support user-generated content in the Faraway gaming ecosystem.
As the first major launch of our UGC system, you can now purchase user-created skins in game at !
Quoting a tweet of a quote that I already tweeted since it's important. This new era of gaming is about open economies and community-driven gamedev. Fungible tokens & NFTs are a detail, not the narrative.
“I think games that have steered too much into the ‘play-to-earn’ or ‘OMG NFT’ narrative have seen an allergic reaction from the ‘true gamer’ crowd,”
@apaley13
told Decrypt, discussing the integration of NFTs into

@amytongwu
I also believe that every blockchain gaming company will need a true economist in the future. F2P games are closed economies, so the edge cases with open economies are just vast. But this is what makes it awesome :)
Instantly shareable, friction-less, hyper-social games with player-driven economies - the

1/ I love
@CryptoCobain
but this is a weak take.
Browser-based "instant" games aren't optimizing for AAA graphics. They're built for accessibility and ease of social play (just share a link with friends and hop into a lobby)
I congratulate everyone on this wonderful holiday, Valentine's Day!

@Gabrielesm1
I think you took this out of context. Of course we know about Evo 2. But we don’t know about a specific game already planned/in progress dedicated to Evo 2 given that was your question.
Faraway will be handling the Evo 2 fusion/minting process
@TenaciousEth
@EverydayZukini
@farawaygg
Going to do better here for sure. Yuga marketing team is top notch - but it's a good reminder to keep coordination extra tight even when we're all moving quickly. Also a good reminder to keep up Figma board hygiene practices to archive old concepts entirely
User 👏 Generated 👏 Content 👏
UGC is a core feature of Dookey Dash Unclogged.
*Everyone* can make their own 3d models and sell them in the Faraway Shop, and *everyone* can equip them in DDU to slay the sewers in style.
That feeling when your on the edge of your seat, the envelope has been opened and the reveal is imminent. What’s revealed is always a sliver of what actually happens behind the scenes and the effort and time invested therein. Who’s out there fam? Feeling bullish

@seannana
Lots of thoughts here! We should do another show. I think we are going to start seeing “Limited Edition” ugc as well as open editions. We are building some things to allow crestors to reward collectors of their limited edition ugc.
Just realized that the next generation of gamers will be a lot more financially savvy from learning how to trade, save, lend, borrow, and earn inside of games. Pretty awesome 🚀
