Oh it's not just him.

quote:

Gala Games is an NFT-focused gaming startup led by Zynga co-founder Eric Schiermeyer, and it’s teaming up with C2 Ventures, a new crypto investment firm, to invest in game developers interested in developing new titles and expansions around blockchain technology. This includes NFTs, play-to-earn games, and more.

[...]

The Sims creator Will Wright was also present during the Galaverse event and there, he “revealed his newly established creative partnership as he and his team at Gallium Studios will lend their extensive experience to assist in the development of Gala Games’ blockchain VOX metaverse and game world from the ground-up,” according to the press release. Gala says VOX NFTs are collectibles “with a real play-to-earn utility” across Gala’s games” like Town Star and soon, Mirandus. However, it says there is not a game dedicated natively to the VOX metaverse and that Wright and Gallium Studios are going to “create and build the Voxverse.”

Gala says details of Wright’s new game will be revealed in the coming months.

Elsewhere during Galaverse, AMC announced that it is partnering with Ember Entertainment to launch a “new cross-platform survival MMORPG” called The Walking Dead: Empires. In it, players “will be able to purchase ‘Dead Claims’ which will give early buyers the chance to claim an ideal plot of land prior to the game’s release.”

Certain Affinity, which helped co-develop Halo Infinite with 343 Industries, also revealed that it’s bringing a new game, Last Expedition, to the Gala Platform. Gala’s press release says Certain Affinity “aims to pair the quality of a AAA FPS with the benefits of blockchain gaming,” although further details were not revealed.

I had forgotten the Molyneux RPS interview and, well

quote:

Peter Molyneux: One is, John, you're becoming very emotional, I think firstly you need to take a breath, because if I had walked away from Godus I'd agree with your points, but I haven't walked away from Godus. We are committed to Godus, we are recruiting people to go on to Godus, I have never moved that percentage beyond 52% where it is now.

RPS: How long should backers wait for you to deliver the game they paid for three years ago?

Peter Molyneux: I don't know. All I know is that there are people here that have been working on Godus, that we have worked on Godus for one hundred and twenty thousand man-hours. We have got three terabytes of documentary feature. We've replied to 31,000 posts and tickets. We've done 57 community videos. Do you know how many updates we've done on Steam?

RPS: I don't think anyone who paid for the game cares.

Peter Molyneux: How many updates have we done on Steam?

RPS: I don't think anyone who paid for the game cares. I think they want the game they paid for three years ago or their money back.

Peter Molyneux: We're trying as hard as we possibly can.

RPS: I don't think you are. You’ve said yourself--

Peter Molyneux: John, John, John--

RPS: You said yourself, that you should not have gone and focused on the mobile version until the PC version was finished. This is all very disingenuous in light of you saying that.

This was 6 years ago. Godus is still in early access.

Wikipedia posted:

While the mobile versions of the game continue to be updated, the early access Steam release has yet to see an updated beta since 2016. The contract of the lead developer of the game, Konrad Naszynski, expired 28 June 2016, and it has been reported that there is no one left working on the PC version.[2] As of December 2021, 7 years after the last update on the PC version, the game is still being advertised as early access.

ahahaha like half the intro blurb is salt

quote:

With the end of Molyneux's social experiment, Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?, it was revealed that in Godus a single person will reign as the virtual god over all other players. It was also revealed that this same player will receive a portion of the revenue made by the game.[12] As of February 2015, the winner Bryan Henderson has still not received the prize.[13][14] In March 2017, Molyneux claimed that Godus had not made a profit and Henderson would not receive money.[15]

That NFT game sounds like playing Monopoly, but all of the properties are already owned by other players when you start the game. Who would want to play that? I don't get it.

The coping strategies of Star Citizen JPEG bulls will map so neatly onto NFT "games", it's perfect. It rules, actually, that this buggy broken sandbox has no content and I have to invent my own gameplay on the fly like its schoolyard make-believe, and not just because I have hundreds of thousands of dollars sunk into virtual assets, but because this is on the cutting-edge, the future of gaming. Enjoy your polished triple-A Call of Duties, normie, while I play tag with an off-brand Pokemon that cost more than your house :smuggo:
