    213 | How AI reboots The Sandbox

    The Sandbox CEO Robby Yung explains how its new Sandbox Studio AI tools will reboot the blockchain gaming platform. [01:10] How Robby Yung sees the past 12 months in blockchain games. [03:30] How adoption of AI changes game development and distribution. [06:48] One problem for The Sandbox was its original tools were too simple for pro developers. [08:22] How can The Sandbox employ AI to support professional creators? [10:01] Can you maintain The Sandbox's brand if you move away from its voxel art style? [11:21] Adding AI to The Sandbox has been ongoing for around 3 years. [13:05] In the future, game studios will be much smaller because of AI. [14:50] But will indie devs actually use AI tools? Many seem to hate AI. [17:02] The Sandbox's AI tools are designed to give developers absolute control. [20:30] With AI, game devs will be more creative and publish across multiple platforms. [23:00] Does this level of AI portability undermine The Sandbox as a platform? [21:10] "We view the metaverse as the world and The Sandbox as a city." [28:14] The goal is not to automate game creation but to give creative people better tools. [29:02] Why The Sandbox is running game jams prior to Studio's planned October launch. [31:43] AI is amazing but only when it does what you ask it to do. You need granular control. [33:15] Sandbox Studio is designed for people who are already using Unity and Unreal.

    The Sandbox repositions its LAND NFTs for the AI era, Gigaverse Online is announced, Proof of Play shuts down. [00:20] The Sandbox is rebooting functionality for its LAND NFTs. [01:03] The original vision for The Sandbox didn't work due to the friction of mini-game creation. [01:49] It's fixing this with its new Studio AI tools, which are in beta. [03:08] This means it can also make LAND more useful as an enhanced publishing primitive. [06:10] Obviously this may not solve the issue of getting enough players into The Sandbox. [07:32] Gigaverse has announced its move to persistent MMORG Gigaverse Online. [11:40] Pirate Nation dev Proof of Play has shut down after open-sourcing code and IP.

[02:40] Why the concept of open source is back for blockchain gaming. [03:55] As well as Pixel, MapleStory Universe and EVE Frontier are also becoming more open. [05:30] How MapleStory's AI hackathon winners came up with very novel ideas for games. [07:54] Open source is important for Pixels because the core game isn't super deep itself. [10:35] This also increases the opportunity for interoperability between Pixels-based games. [14:25] Open source doesn't guarantee success but gives communities creative freedom. [16:53] Ronin has announced a new reputation system for users, called Honor Score. [22:42] Blockchain gaming is only now becoming sustainable. [23:32] Will building around a game with AI become more important than playing the game?

    212 | YGG shuts down YGG Play, pivots to AI gaming data

    In episode 212, Jon talks to YGG co-founder Gabby Dizon. [00:48] Casual degen web3 gaming platform YGG Play is shutting down. [02:17] LOL Land launched well but overall revenue peaked in October 2025 at $3 million. [03:40][ Why was the crypto liquidation event on 10th October 2025 significant? [05:00] Why releasing more titles typically doesn't add revenue for crypto games. [06:19] Why this was a decision based on the market, not on the product. [07:35] Gabby's lesson is you can't control where liquidity flows to. [09:59] LOL Land, Waifu Sweeper and the YGG Play platform will run until 31st July. [11:26] As part of this restructuring, YGG has confirmed around 35 redundancies. [13:08] YGG will now focus on providing gaming data to AI companies i.e. world model training data. [14:15] In some way, this is a return of play-to-earn, just not earning in crypto tokens. [16:04] This data is useful, particularly for robotics and in-game agents. [18:33] YGG has already been working on this AI P2E with its AI Alerts system. [19:26] YGG was set up to allow people anywhere in the world can earn from technology. [21:20] YGG isn't shutting down. The founding team remains and it has 4 years of runway. [22:53] This doesn't mean web3 gaming is dead. This is just YGG's particular decision.

    211 | MapleStory moves from monopoly to franchise

    Jon Jordan talks to Nexpace COO Keith Kim about MapleStory N's first year, and how AI will power the MapleStory Universe ecosystem in 2026. [01:00] MapleStory N’s first year - $31M revenue, 3.8M accounts, 650K engaged wallets. [02:10] How the profile was different for MapleStory N to traditional MapleStory gamers. [02:57] What we have done well is being agile and altering our strategy, adjusting quickly. [03:25] The pace of updates for MapleStory N is 3-5x faster than for a web2 game. [04:20] The Winter update - new maps, new bosses - has driven really good numbers. [05:06] From Feb 2026, MapleStory N started recouping more token value than it emitted. [05:40] June could be MapleStory N’s highest revenue and biggest NXPC token deflation. [09:45] In web2, players play for fun. In web3, some players spend as much as $100k a day. [11:12] Players really try to make money during the first 3 months of any blockchain game. [13:36] Our goal is to work out how we can add blockchain to make MapleStory more fun. [14:40] It took 6 months to gain confidence in our direction from the reaction of real fans. [16:05] When Keith realized the eye-opening power of AI for games. [17:13] Nexpace has been encouraging the team to build their own games with AI. [18:55] We're trying to consider the scenarios of how AI changes the game industry. [19:17] Initially, we were worried that game IP becomes less important in the AI era. [21:18] You have to let your fans use AI to extend your IP. [21:58] We hope our MapleStory Universe builders make more money than we do. [26:05] Some IP holders want to tightly control their brand. We just want to limit AI slop. [28:20] We need to change our view of what is high-quality content. It's up to the users. [30:04] This is a very exciting time to be a builder, especially with MapleStory. [33:38] Professional developers can also build proper businesses on MapleStory IP.

    19th June 2026 | Sky Mavis relaunches Axie land

    Axie: Terrariums goes live, Fishing Frenzy and Pudgy Party close down. [00:42] Sky Mavis is rebooting its vision for Axie land NFTs with Terrariums. [01:25] It builds on the complex learnings of the original Axie land game Homeland. [02:14] Homeland was an attempt to combine land-based gameplay and NFT staking. [04:31] It was a surprisingly deep resource-management game but a bad staking system. [07:10] Sky Mavis removed staking in early 2024, and everyone stopped playing Homeland. [08:39] Terrariums is the v1 attempt to rebuild a land NFT staking system using the bAXS token. [10:33] Terrariums will also be the base layer for land gameplay, which will be added over time. [12:48] Ronin idle mobile/browser game Craft World has announced 60,000 MAUs. [16:00] Craft World is a full onchain game but very accessible. [19:53] You can market it to a web2 audience and there's no talk of wallets or gas or tokens. [23:37] In Craft World, you can't buy your way to top status. Time is a key resource too. [25:28] Fishing Frenzy is shutting down. In contrast to Craft World, it was a crypto-first cozy game. [28:05] You can sustain crypto-first games for as long as players think they will get free rewards. [30:22] Pudgy Party is shutting down as Pudgy Penguins focuses on Pudgy World web portal. [33:00] Pudgy Party was good but lacked the marketing support required for a social game. [34:35] Pudgy World is cheaper and easier to operate and market as a platform.

[13:10] The big strategic question: do creators need The Sandbox Studio if AI can make games directly? [14:00] Sandbox’s plan to help creators publish to web, Telegram, Steam and app stores [15:30] Roblox’s massive advantage: creators publish inside an existing audience [16:40] Why The Sandbox’s lack of player concurrency remains its core problem [18:10] The missed opportunity of The Sandbox land as a connected world/map [20:15] Jon's launched his own AI game - Soccerverse Showdown [21:10] How the World Cup leaderboard idea evolved from a Soccerverse internal concept [22:35] Comparing Soccerverse Showdown with a more traditional fantasy-football game [24:48] How player influence in Soccerverse generates World Cup points [25:59] Why ROI may be more interesting than total points on the leaderboard [27:15] Claude Fable “did two weeks of work in three hours” [28:45] The feeling of publishing a first game after 25 years covering games [30:00] Nexpace as a strong example of blockchain and AI execution [30:45] MapleStory Universe revenue, Avalanche chain and ecosystem strategy [31:20] Verse8, Vibe Camp and AI-generated MapleStory experiences [32:05] First AI-built MapleStory-based games are now live on Verse8

    Can Aavegotchi DAO takeover the project, the State of Pixels, and the rise of open source in the agentic era. [00:35] Aavegotchi dev Pixelcraft is one of the OG web3 gaming studios. [05:16] It's looking to hand over control of Aavegotchi to the DAO. [06:28] DAOs haven't been successful for reasons like coordination and authority. [07:25] It's a nice vision, but the reality is Pixelcraft ran out of money. [08:01] By 1st September, the DAO has to have decided what's happening going forward. [09:16] Why “gamey games” are harder to hand over to communities or DAOs. [09:55] State of Pixels. It's sustainable but not growing.11:30 Pixels is now considering adding open-source elements. [12:05] AI significantly changes what community developers can build in blockchain games. [13:50] The emerging pattern is surviving web3 games are moving to APIs, MCPs and agent access. [15:15] Why blockchain and AI fit together culturally and technically. [19:05] Define “game games” versus “non-game games”. [20:49] Why blockchain games should focus less on moment-to-moment fun and more on meta. [23:30] EVE Frontier, MapleStory and Soccerverse as examples of meta-focused web3 games. [25:25] These games have emergent experiences. They don't require constant content updates. [28:30] Don’t put things onchain to create value. Put existing value onchain so it can be realized. [32:40] Community-built Soccerverse fantasy football as a sign of where this goes next. [35:05] The first 10 years of blockchain gaming were about discovering what didn’t work. [35:40] AI plus blockchain will enable things the traditional games industry won’t build. [37:06] Why agents will become native players for blockchain games. [38:20] The future split: Mario-like gameplay games versus agent-filled systemic web3 worlds.

[19:10] Nexon is talking about MapleStory Universe, MSU 2.0 and VIBE IP. [22:11] MapleStory Universe did $31 million in revenue in year 1.

[01:09] Kevin Lee’s background at Planetarium doing web3 investing and private equity. [02:56] Verse8 started as a WebGL engine project inside Planetarium. [03:31] We first realized the potential of AI technology for game-making in 2024. [04:44] By 2025, it was clear that LLMs could generate very high-quality and complex. [06:15] Verse8 can do hypercasual games, add crypto and other monetization. [08:15] Verse8 has 200,000 DAUs and 3.5 million MAUs. [10:40] We didn't design this as a web3 project but there's potential for degen experiments. [12:52] Verse8 could be “YouTube for games” because everyone can now make games. [14:20] Verse8's $5 million seed round and why Korean strategic investors backed it. [15:28] Investors also have agreements for use of their legacy IPs within Verse8. [17:44] In particular, there will be an integration with MapleStory Universe. [18:54] There are some technical limitations. You can't make open-world MMORPGs. [20:44] Verse8’s moat is its high performance WebGL game engine. [22:50] Everyone ger $10 of free tokens but then users have to pay for additional usage. [26:10] We're competing with Roblox, Steam, Epic and even YouTube for screen time. [31:19] Over the next six months we need to prove creators can generate real revenue.
