Episode Summary

In this episode, I talk with someone from the Web3 gaming industry for the first time. Viacheslav is the founder and CEO of the game studio standing behind The Old Castle Defense. We talk about his journey into crypto (that's a must) and then we quickly dive into the importance of sustainable economics for play-to-earn games and how most games lack it. We talk about what inspired their team and which games they watched. They even tried to suggest improvements to make game economies more sustainable for some of their favorite games, but nobody seemed to listen.

Viacheslav also explains how integrating Farcaster and the Degen token has helped the project. Old Castle Defense (TOCD) is a community-driven game that aims to introduce players to the world of crypto and investments.

The team behind TOCD is focused on building an ecosystem that provides infinite earning opportunities for users and token holders. They also contemplate the launch of a special governance token in the future, allowing the community to have a say in the game's development and receive revenue shares.

The game dynamics evolve around staking tokens (like $degen) and NFTs (Knights or Creatures) to participate in battles and earn rewards. Listen to learn how to play and earn from today!
