Axie: Terrariums goes live, Fishing Frenzy and Pudgy Party close down.
- [00:42] Sky Mavis is rebooting its vision for Axie land NFTs with Terrariums. [01:25] It builds on the complex learnings of the original Axie land game Homeland.[02:14] Homeland was an attempt to combine land-based gameplay and NFT staking. [04:31] It was a surprisingly deep resource-management game but a bad staking system.[07:10] Sky Mavis removed staking in early 2024, and everyone stopped playing Homeland. [08:39] Terrariums is the v1 attempt to rebuild a land NFT staking system using the bAXS token. [10:33] Terrariums will also be the base layer for land gameplay, which will be added over time. [12:48] Ronin idle mobile/browser game Craft World has announced 60,000 MAUs. [16:00] Craft World is a full onchain game but very accessible. [19:53] You can market it to a web2 audience and there's no talk of wallets or gas or tokens. [23:37] In Craft World, you can't buy your way to top status. Time is a key resource too. [25:28] Fishing Frenzy is shutting down. In contrast to Craft World, it was a crypto-first cozy game. [28:05] You can sustain crypto-first games for as long as players think they will get free rewards. [30:22] Pudgy Party is shutting down as Pudgy Penguins focuses on Pudgy World web portal. [33:00] Pudgy Party was good but lacked the marketing support required for a social game. [34:35] Pudgy World is cheaper and easier to operate and market as a platform.
