September is stacked - here's everything I'm grinding, testing, and waiting for right now!

- @gigaverse - daily energy usage on Juiced Mode during The Awakening event.
- @LootSurvivor - collab events + Karat Dungeon, waiting for Beasts V3 launch (huge post about this coming this week!).
- @kamigotchiworld - full team farming @initia VIPP. Waiting for new features since kamis minted out today.
- @playcambria - fishing on low stakes, trying to catch the bounty fish + new event that launched 3 days ago.

Games I'm currently testing / plan to test:

- @RRFVillage - really want to try the new game from @RonkeOnRon's eco. I recently deep-dived into Ronin, and Ronke is definitely one of my favorite projects.
- @GreenWorldBase - still haven't properly deep-dived into the game made by @tsubasaP2E. Planning to do this soon - I have huge trust in tsu and I see how fast the game changes and development goes!
- @0xCitadel - I took part in 2 playtests sessions already, but I think I should try it a bit more.

Games I'm currently waiting for:

- @YieldFields_RH - launching on Robinhood, made buy OCH team. Hey @Skarly when more details?
- @BootyPirates1 - also launching on RH, Pirate Nation community takeover. I have a WL for this one, and even though the mint price feels a bit high for the current market (0.042/6969 supply), I'll be happy to mint and support @TheGodMurdoch.
- @AxieInfinity - I really enjoyed playtests of Atia's Legacy - hopefully we can get it on mainnet soon?

Anything i should add?

i was recently thinking - should web3 games even be PvP, when the market around them already is?

Every token and NFT trade has a winner and a loser, and in web3 games almost everyone joins to make money, not to have fun (and please, we should stop this bullshit about "if the game is fun, you'll find users"). Add PvP gameplay on top, and the game becomes a massive frustration for both players and founders.

The market reality makes it worse. Most web3 games don't have thousands of daily players, usually it's a few hundred or a few dozens. And it's mostly the same crowd, moving in circles from one project to the next. Classic PvP needs fresh players: without them you meet the same 5 people or get matched with bots. Whales win, newcomers feel like exit liquidity and leave, classic.

PvE is the opposite. The game is always there, everyone faces the same challenge. But pure PvE lacks tension, and we all want rivals.

So for me: PvE as the core, async PvP on top. Same challenge, your own pace, no waiting for anyone.

That's why I was really waiting for some PvP layer in Loot Survivor. Yesterday I won my seat, today I play against @kingisonchain. Gonna be a tough one!

Some other examples I am thinking of is:

@playcambria - you can easily play without ANY interaction with other users (it's more cool tho).
@LootRealms - Recent Frontier mode is also completely PvE, you only compete in leaderboard and by finding rewards through exploration (prize pool is shared).

Thoughts?

I'm taking what's mine in @playcambria. Yes, even on testnets.

I am amazed how many people are trying out the Genesis testnet. Some, like @notjazii, even tried to kill me 😉

Game is awesome, farmers are out, believe in something.

PvP mode in @LootSurvivor with 8k USDC in rewards!

If you have participated in Gigaverse, Onchain Heroes, Nova Gaming Guild or Ronkeverse Dungeons you should be eligible!

Who wants to face BB?

I’m playing the new @LootRealms Frontier - Devcon Edition!

New to Realms games, but I’m having a blast, and it’s completely free.

Even cooler: I’m nowhere near the top of the leaderboard, yet I grabbed 1,200 $LORDS (~$8) just from exploring the map.
