”This company differs from all the other blockchain game companies I’ve seen because it has made a playable game before talking about its blockchain technology. While the company was searching for the fun, there were some painful times. Rather than go full tilt with multiple projects, the company made a decision in 2019 to scale down the large team and focus on one main project. The company has since brought many of those employees back. , the McKinney, Texas-based company created The Wildcard Alliance, a division that is making a battle game called Wildcard. The company has no plans at the moment to do “play to earn” games where it turns gamers into a labor force. “It didn’t necessarily lead to better game design,” he said. And again, that’s why I wanted to start with the play tests today and why that’s going to be the same thing with our community.”Bettner said the company is announcing the funding and showing the game off because it feels like it is getting closer. But it feels like the company is about three quarters of the way there.“We are finally at the point where it’s fun and our developers actually want to play it in their spare time,” Bettner said.
