What an amazing week in Manila during YGG Play Summit! Thank you again to my sponsors WolvesDAO, YGG and Delabs for helping out with the trip. This would not have been possible without you.

YGG Play Summit is definitely the place to be if you are part of Web3 gaming. The atmosphere of the event was absolutely insane. Everyone was excited to play games at the booths during the conference. The panels were very insightful with the experience we have all gathered to date. Out of all the events I have been to this year, this was definitely the best one.

YGG announces On Chain Guilds on Base

• Verifiable achievement systems, shared asset management, cross platform reputation

• Built for many different communities

  You will see that Base is really starting to recognize and push a lot of Web3 gaming forward. This opens up a whole new avenue of how guilds actually look like. Similar to in games where guilds specialize in different trades, PVP or raiding this opens the opportunity for specialized groups to be recognized as well. Communities can be gaming, artists, creators etc. These achievement systems are now able to be tailored towards the community rather than being generic. This unlocks a whole host of things, and is very exciting!

WolvesDAO announces GDC 2025 Den

• WolvesDAO had WolveDEN during GDC 2024 this year and the CreatorDEN during YGG Play Summit 2024

• Both of these have been extremely successful with what they looked to accomplish

• WolvesDAO have announced GDC 2025 there will be a huge upgrade to the DEN which allows for a much bigger place than this year

  Being part of both DENS this year it has truly been amazing. WolvesDEN was both a home and a very popular event host where there were a variety of games being playtested and showcased throughout the week. Whereas CreatorDEN housed creators and proved that creators are able to help showcase sponsors during big events like YGG Play Summit and really showed off the strength of creators on the timeline. GDC 2025 will be a huge upgrade and I have a feeling that there will be much much more in the future.

Delabs showcases Ragnarok Telegram Game

• Here’s a quick preview of what the Telegram game can offer

• The game will be fully native to Telegram

• It is an idle game with MMO elements

• Core game loop involves capturing monsters, clearing dungeons, peer to peer marketplace and crafting weapons and armour

• Poringwifhat army

  Delabs has been able to take a very recongizable IP being Ragnarok and create a very fun Telegram game. I have been wary about Telegram games as most of them have been quite boring in nature being clicker games. However, Delabs is aiming to target hte midcore player base. I can see this being quite popular. Being part of Telegram also allows it to be sticky in nature, with notifications and reminders. The idle aspect also helps out as well. It is truly amazing to see the depth of this game. They also may be targeting LINE as well, another popular messaging application in Asia. The booth was quite packed during the week, with people excited to check out the game and get their hands on a poring hat!

FATAL1TY announces guild

• FATAL1TY is an absolute legend in the shooter esports scene, even before esports was a thing!

• He is getting into the trenches and really learning about Web3 by coming to YGG and even coming to a few of the WolvesDAO events

  I think it is super cool to see a legend in the esports scene really start to learn about Web3 gaming. There is also a ton of opportunity and I really hope that the guild does take time to implement the right things and works with the right people. FATAL1TY is definitely very innovative and knows how to run businesses, he popularized the large mouse desk mats for gaming.

$PRIME building with B3

• B3 allows you to play onchain games on any platform instantly

• Allows different tools and utilities to unify liquidity and share users

• Gain revenue from your own users when they spend on other games

• Gamers vote to fund and support games

• Paralell will have their PRIME chain included in this system

  As mentioned before, I think it is a cool idea to have everyone support each other. Collaboration over competition in this sense as we are all trying to help popularize Web3 and the technology behind it. Parallel has been part of Web3 for quite some time, so it is cool to see them support this initiative and I am interested to see who else joins in.

FIFA Rivals announced

• Mythical Games announces FIFA Rivals

• In partnership with FIFA, this will be launching on iOS and Android

• Around June this year it was said that NFL Rivals has 5M players

  This is definitely huge for Mythical Games. Not many people outside of North America really care about NFL. However, there are a ton of people that care and pay attention to FIFA. Football or soccer is a huge sport that has a huge audience. They already have a great proof of concept with their first game NFL Rivals they just need to implement this for FIFA Rivals as well.

ThousandsTV debuts during YGG Play Summit

• Created by the Bettners, this is definitely one thing you don’t want to miss

• ThousandsTV debuted during the week

• Payton showed off the airdrop technology and some of the audience interactions on stage

• ThousandsTV also had a very successful stream of the GAM3SGG awards

  The debut of the technology and the future of Thousands was very exciting. The ease of creating a wallet and getting airdrops just by watching. The ability to interact with the stream and be part of the actual audience. This was a very early product to showcase to get ready for YGG Play Summit. There is definitely more to come!
