Leo Kahn, the CEO of Undeads Metaverse, recently shared his journey of creating a groundbreaking AAA survival Web3 game in a recent AMA with Cointelegraph. Kahn’s story is one of innovation, community-driven development, and the seamless integration of traditional and blockchain gaming technologies.
Kahn emphasized the complexity and dedication required to produce a game of AAA quality within the Web3 ecosystem. He highlighted the importance of collaborations with renowned studios like Warner Brothers for sound design to achieve such high standards.
When discussing his inspirations, Kahn paid tribute to Capcom’s Resident Evil series, which is a cornerstone of the survival horror genre. He explained that while he has been playing the game since he was a child, what sets their game apart is the ability to play as both zombies and humans.
Undeads Metaverse is designed to be accessible to both Web2 and Web3 users. Kahn explained that they built the game for everyone because some platforms do not support Web3 technology, such as iOS and Android.
In terms of investment, Kahn revealed that they have spent around $9 million on developing the game as of January 2024. Despite the challenging crypto winter, they were able to generate over a million dollars through their mint launch and became the top third tradeable asset on OpenSea.
Kahn outlined the extensive lineup of games in the Undeads Metaverse, including titles like Undeads Rush and Undeads Viral, which are currently available, and Undeads Lottery, set to launch in Q1 2024. These games embody the Web3 gaming ethos.
Regarding their flagship game Undeads.com, Kahn mentioned that everyone is eagerly waiting for its release in Q2 2024. He stated that the game will be VR-focused from day one for both Web2 and Web3 users, although specific dates for the VR capabilities are yet to be announced.
Kahn explained the difference between Undeads Metaverse’s play-to-earn model and traditional Web2 models. He compared his experience playing Roblox on his PS5, where players invest their time without receiving any rewards, to Undeads Metaverse, where players get paid to play. In Undeads.com, players can be builders and earn rewards by creating buildings, puzzles, weapons, and potions, which they can then sell within the game. The UDS token can be earned and exchanged for real money, differentiating Undeads Metaverse from traditional Web2 gaming.
Community engagement is a vital aspect of Undeads Metaverse’s development philosophy, with nearly 60,000 members actively participating in shaping the game’s direction through Discord and Telegram. Kahn also announced the launch of the UDS token in Q2 2024, emphasizing its utility rather than speculative trading.
Kahn criticized the current state of Web3 games, stating that while there are around 1,500 to 1,600 games, they are not up to par and take away the fun from gaming. Undeads Metaverse aims to deliver a AAA-rated game that genuinely entertains and engages players.
Kahn’s vision extends beyond gaming to the potential of the metaverse, citing significant investments by industry giants like Mark Zuckerberg as evidence of its future impact. The roadmap for Undeads Metaverse includes the integration of VR technology.
