Web3 is comprised of some of the most advanced technological innovation to date. But gamers don’t care to interact with it, at least today. According to Gunzilla Games’ Director of Web3 Theodore Agranat, in order to onboard the next billion people to the industry, web3 user-experiences need to mimic the ease of opening and closing an iPhone app. Theodore and Ava Labs SVP of Corporate Development and Blizzard Fund Investor Lydia Chiu join Mined with CoinFund hosts David Pakman and Evan F. to chat about the challenges to building web3 games, crypto’s ongoing marketing problem, and how Gunzilla’s breakout title Off The Grid was a smashing success upon its launch in October. They cover: - Challenges in web3 marketing and onboarding (5:29) - Abstracting away the technology (15:57) - Retaining gamers post-launch (22:41) - The biggest obstacles in building web3 games (34:51) Don’t miss the latest episode of Mined with CoinFund, available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube. https://lnkd.in/eiGRscwD https://lnkd.in/eU_HZ-7b https://lnkd.in/de3FMXuw #minedwithcoinfund #web3gaming #offthegrid
