Description

In this episode, Jon discusses the ongoing development of blockchain strategy game CryptoWars with Experimental (aka e11.io) CEO Matias Nisenson.

Development on CryptoWars started in mid-2018 and since the start of 2019, Experimental has been regularly testing various aspects of the game - from the blockchain infrastructure including Loom Network’s Layer 2 solution through to gameplay features. 

The game is currently expected to be live in early 2020. 

Topics covered include:

• Matias’ history prior to launching Experimental
• Why Experimental decided to make a strategy blockchain game
• Why he (still) rates Ethereum over other blockchains
• The strengths (and weaknesses) of using a sidechain like Loom, especially for UX
• Why games will be the gateway for mass adoption of blockchain
• Why CryptoWars’ economy is much more sophisticated than NFT sales
• The challenges of raising investment
• What’s next in terms of CryptoWars’ development
