What is GuildQB?

GuildQB is a social web3 platform specialized for GameFi. Their vision is to create an ecosystem that maximizes the benefits to players in their guild, while also creating a platform that will push for interoperability across the different gaming metaverses. Guild members will also have the opportunity to earn additional incentives through the building of gaming tools or making connections to the entire GameFi/BCG industry.

Game companies or projects will be able to publish and release their games on GuildQB in order to tap into its audience as well as its depth of features that will help developers to scale quicker.

Currently, gaming guilds and general projects communicate and organize their respective communities through Discord. Although widely used, some common pain points faced include:

1. Inability to attract targeted audience
2. Little contact with end users
3. Difficulty in increasing game revenue

Such issues are what the GuildQB platform aims to solve, which in turn creates value across the wider ecosystem. This means all parties will benefit, as opposed to a select few using the traditional top-down funnel. The base layer aims to provide a boost to all parties connected on the same level through value-added services such as:

• NFT sales and marketplace
• Non-collateralized loans and lending in a connected system
• Early token / NFT investments in guilds and games
• Guild scholarship program
• Guild-as-a-Service
• Guild network
• Advertisement

Utility

The GuildQB platform can be used for:

1. Facilitating interoperability between different communities.

2. Social attributes allow for quick dissemination and deployment of game information, strategies, or events to name a few. This makes it simple to push rapidly while contributors and information providers benefit from the easily accessible content. Simultaneously, other users will be able to passively consume the information they need, creating community closeness.

3. Until now, it has not been possible to exchange or trade tokens and NFTs between different games. This lowers the barriers to entry, meaning capital will be easier to access and users can be more profitable.

Portfolio games to reach new markets

Through this partnership, PathDAO will assist GuildQB with its fundraising initiatives. This will be done by facilitating introductions and potential meets with top VCs as well as leveraging the PathDAO networks in this endeavor.

At the same time, both PathDAO and GuildQB will help to spearhead the expansion of each other’s portfolio games in the Southeast Asia and Japan regions respectively, through either marketing efforts or distribution channels. The geographical relevance that both PathDAO and GuildQB have in their regions will ensure that portfolio games will receive localized seeding among web3 gamers, as well as community groups.

This creates a win-win situation for both parties in which games will be able to reach a wider audience quicker, while also gaining exposure and potential users in markets that were previously tricky to penetrate without localization efforts. In theory, this should help portfolio games scale quicker if there is a product-market fit.

GuildQB will kick start the partnership by helping PathDAO push Karmaverse in Japan through the HADOW influencer network.

In addition, this long-term partnership aims to work towards eventually co-hosting APAC-wide events relevant to the community such as web3 gaming tournaments. This ties in perfectly with our vision of community events bringing people together

“We are excited to work with GuildQB to expand and help us establish a reach in the Japanese market, especially for our portfolio of games. This is also another sign of how collaborative this ecosystem is in building up the community and infra layer for web3 gaming. LFG!” — Jansen Teng, Co-Founder of PathDAO.

“We are very proud to partner with PathDAO, a leading Southeast Asian organization in the heart of GameFi. We look forward to representing the Japanese gaming guilds and supporting the expansion of the Japanese gaming community into Southeast Asia. PathDAO and GuildQB share the vision of organizing a gaming event involving the whole of Asia in the future.” — Keisuke Horiguchi, CEO of GuildQB

About GuildQB

QB aims to create an ecosystem that connects games, communities, and players. It maximizes revenue for gamers and increases transparency for the community, while at the same time significantly reducing the cost of game distribution.

What can be confirmed is that the GameFi gaming boom and the meta-universe era are dawning.

The World of Panterra

The parallel world of Panterra sees both D.G. Pals and explorers co-exist as the two dominant species. As part of a longstanding tradition, explorers and D.G. Pals first begin bonding in the New World Programme, embarking on a journey of discovery that will take them across the world.

Traversing the diverse world of Panterra, they will visit towns and cities, wander the wilderness and discover various locations across the world. History, mystery, and adventure await would-be explorers, together with their D.G. Pals.

Hatch D.G.Eggs and venture into the D.G.Verse

In D.G.P: New World, players can hatch D.G.Eggs and then watch them grow in a sunny, tranquil farm environment. Incubate your eggs and evolve your D.G. Pals in the New World Island. The game runs on idle mechanics so you will not need to constantly maintain your farm around the clock, and you will get updates about the latest happenings and events, making it the perfect casual game.

Once the D.G.Pals are certified to leave the New World Island, explorers can bring their D.G.Pals to compete in the Arena of Legends, which pits the strongest and most competitive D.G.Pals against each other in a glorious battle. Each team consists of five D.G.Pals, with each member possessing different strengths and weaknesses based on the six egg types, with stats also affecting performance during battles. As D.G.Pals participate in battles, they will level up and gain increased stats and unlock talent tree skills.

“Having played Pokemon growing up, the idea of diving into a similar 32-bit world on the blockchain is a dream. Furthermore, the planned D.G. Verse is something we believe has huge growth potential, and I’m honestly excited to see where this goes!” — Jansen Teng, Co-Founder of PathDAO.

Two more games, D.G.P: Plaza — a virtual town where players can socialize and trade, and D.G.P: Adventure — an SLG x Tower Defence hybrid, are slated to be released by the end of 2022 and Q1 2023 respectively, rounding off the D.G. Verse.

“We are very happy to have PathDAO’s support and to be working together closely to create a sustainable Web3 gaming ecosystem for the community. There is so much to look forward to, driving and unlocking the vast potential of GameFi collectively!” — Samson Oh, co-founder of D.G.Pals

PathDAO Invest In D.G. Pals

As the first game to launch on Cronos, PathDAO believes D.G.Pals has a big first-mover advantage in the market. This gives it tremendous upside, especially if the game quickly gains traction and grows its user base, which it has already shown signs of.

Backed by strong industry players, the main investment round was led by Crypto.com Capital, Spartan Group, FineWill Cap, and Mighty Jaxx. It is also part of the inaugural US$100m-backed Cronos Accelerator Program, which indicates further validation of the great work D.G.Pals is doing!

Set adrift amidst a field of mysterious asteroids, the world of Reterra abounds with Mana.

Step into this fantastical world, and forge wonderful relationships with NPCs and other players as you experience tales of intrigue, romance, and heroism in StellaFantasy!

Stella Fantasy is a Collectible Character-based RPG with fully-3D real-time action combat. Gameplay is at the forefront of the design and philosophy behind Stella Fantasy — the game is engineered to be more about the “Play” than “Earn” of Play-to-Earn.

Fun, fast-paced, action-filled combat is at the heart of Stella Fantasy. Players will be able to engage with content at varying difficulty levels and with both AI and multiplayer human assistance.

Various types of Abyss Rifts in the world of Stella Fantasy, including the rare Unique and Race Abyss Rifts; each with unique mechanics and rewards in hero characters, crafting resources, or even $STFY tokens.

Town will enable players to gather more resources and upgrade their existing equipment and characters; and too have a unique progression linked to the game’s main storyline.

FEATURES

• Abyss Rift
  Explore, Hunt, and Farm in the dimensional gates
• Private Land
  Collect Materials for Abyss Rift exploration
• Craft
  Earn and produce NFTs, then re-invest for growth
• Earn
  Trade NFTs

This is essential as venturing into ever-more dangerous (and rewarding!) Abyss Rifts require ever-more resources extracted from Towns.

Up to four unique characters may join you in your team at any given time. Developing and training a roster of powerful heroes is key to success within the world of Stella Fantasy.

NFT characters may be purchased on the Stella Shop, obtained as a rare reward in Unique Abyss Rifts, or bought on the open market from other players of Stella Fantasy.

Each character NFT has unique qualities and attributes including its combat style, combat role, elemental affinity, and stats & skills; and NFT characters are able to level up after obtaining enough EXP in combat.

These include income generation through developed Land and Towns, seasonal competitive multiplayer, as well as story-driven quests that advance the main plot of Stella Fantasy. With a passionate team of over 50 driven creatives, the devs at Ring Games have crafted a truly stellar experience with Stella Fantasy.

What the partnership entails:

They at PathDAO are so excited to be able to announce their partnership with their friends at Ring Games, and look forward to being able to share more about the game with their community in the near future!

“Anime games account for 20% of mobile games spend and have been picking up high double-digit growth in downloads. High hopes they will appeal to the audience of gamers today.” —Jansen Teng, CEO of PathDAO.

“Stella Fantasy’s NFT collection and ecosystem will provide a new level of ‘fun’ in the P2E RPG genre and we’re quite confident to do so by building up a long-term partnership with PathDAO.” — Jooho YUN, CEO of Ring Games commented.

Overview

Built with passion by a team with over 50 million app downloads under their belt, Walken is a dynamic, thriving, and innovative platform that empowers its users to live healthier, more active lifestyles all the while earning valuable crypto tokens.

The Walken platform is a game-changing opportunity to introduce a whole new generation and demographic of users to the DeFi space and provides a great space to allow new users to familiarise and socialise themselves with Web3.0 mechanics of playing-to-earn (or rather, walking-to-earn) through gameplay and real-world activity and trading on the NFT marketplace using earned tokens.

Inspiration

Inspired by popular pet-raising game experiences like Pokemon GO or Tamagotchi, the Walken app and gameplay experience is designed to cater to all types of players — young or old, whether crypto-experts or relative novices.

With a slick, easy-to-understand UI/UX, the Walken experience has been carefully designed to clearly and easily explain all the critical concepts and mechanics that users need to understand to fully engage with the Walken app.

Players will discover and engage with more sophisticated and complex gameplay systems as they progress in-game and explore more aspects of the Walken ecosystem.

Using the in-built motion detection and tracking systems of smartphones and other wearable smart devices, Walken is able to capture step counts and physical activity whilst algorithmically filtering out cheating and progress spoofing.

CAThlete Character

Central to their experience is the unique CAThlete character that each player gets upon signing up for the app.

Building on the success of social-fitness apps like Strava, Apple Activity, and Peloton; Walken uses a comprehensive gamification system to turn players’ steps and other physical activity into Gems — an in-game soft currency that can be used to upgrade your CAThlete’s speed, strength, and stamina; all critical stats for competing with and against other players!

In order to participate in more competitions, players will then need to purchase additional CAThletes on the NFT marketplace.

Upon winning competitions, players are rewarded with WLKN tokens, fungible governance, and staking token that can be staked for rewards providing access to additional in-app features, and providing the holder with voting rights in the future of the Walken ecosystem.

Though exciting on its own, the Walken experience doesn’t end at the app — to the contrary, their app is only the beginning.

The Walken protocol will empower developers from around the world to build on the foundational work of Walken and develop their own unique app and gameplay experiences with a play-to-earn model and earn ongoing revenue from the activity and earning of their players.

They hope to be able to share more with their community in the near future!

Step into the bleeding edge of social, metaverse gaming with Ultiverse; an ambitious new project that promises to be the future of immersive Web 3.0 gaming. The Ultiverse will present a world of infinite dimensions, where people can connect with and entertain one another whilst completely breaking down any barriers of culture or real-world location — a truly level field where everyone can make a world-shaking contribution. And now announcing Ultiverse partnership with PathDAO

The Ultiverse

Set in the near future where powerful technocacies and megacorps have amassed great influence in both politics and the economy, Ultiverse will transport players into a world that is simultaneously advanced and alien beyond measure; and somehow closer to home than many of us would like to admit. Everyone from star athletes to common criminals have access to incredible biotechnology that would make them seem almost superhuman. And yet, a dark cloud hangs across this dynamic future — rumours abound that the powers-that-be keep hidden their true intentions, and that those plans may not have the best interests of humanity at heart.

Core to the vision behind Ultiverse is the concept of ‘MetaFi’ — a crossroads where the best parts of DeFi, GameFi, Web3, NFTs, and Crypto technology intersect within the context of the shared Ultiverse to implement a wide and comprehensive range of blockchain-powered functionality into a single meta-ecosystem. MetaFi is a culmination of many individual working parts. All co-operating to become something much greater than the sum of its parts. These powerful features will be seen throughout the Ultiverse, which itself will contain multiple intersecting components with which players will be able to interact to experience the varied and unique strengths of the MetaFi concept.

Terminus City

Terminus City will be the central hub of the Ultiverse, where players will gather and socialise in a vast digital space to meet other players, access integrated DeFi platforms and services, visit and trade on the marketplace, display and collect NFTs, form and join guilds with other like-minded players, contribute to and participate in DAO governance, and even launch their own unique gameplay experiences tailor-made for their fellow Ultiverse players.

Beyond Terminus City, players will be able to jump into Endless Loop — a still in-development MMORPG integrated with and into the Ultiverse where players will be able to explore multiple diverse alien planets. Facing off against extra-terrestrial threats in PvE and other players in PvP gamemodes. Groups of explorers will have to work to complete quests. And unravel the secret mysteries that hide beneath the surface of these alien worlds. Through collecting resources in mining and subsequently crafting those resources into useful tools and materials. Players will be able to thrive in these strange new worlds.

Electric Sheep

Electric Sheep NFTs will unlock a huge amount of the hidden wonder of the Ultiverse — holders will gain exclusive access to the early Alpha release of both Terminus City as well as the Endless Loop MMO, giving players the chance to immerse themselves in the Ultiverse ahead of everyone else. Other benefits, perks, and utilities accessible to NFT holders will include an airdrop of one-of-one 3D avatars and trait NFTs usable within the world of Terminus, airdrops of both utility and governance tokens, and even airdrops of Land Deeds within Terminus. And now announcing Ultiverse Partnership with PathDAO.

“Metaverses will be driven by content. Ultiverse nailed this by creating a survival game environment alongside their metaverse world. PathDAO is excited to back the experienced team at Ultiverse to bring content-rich high fidelity metaverse to web3!” — Jansen Teng, CEO of PathDAO.

“PathDAO’s vision of onboarding Web2 users into the Web3 space via blockchain gaming perfectly aligns with our own here at Ultiverse. This partnership will be a substantial value add to both our communities as we continue to innovate in the space together.” — Frank Ma, CEO of Ultiverse.

Battle for the Future in METALCORE

The Solar Empire has descended into civil war.

Faced with the prospect of living — and dying — on a thousand-year, one-way trip; each ship began to develop its own unique civilisation: the zealous Holy Corporation, the tyrannical Gearbreakers, and the chaotic Metalpunks.

Meanwhile, the fourth ship remained untouched by the tragedy; silently bearing its sleeping cargo onward, the colonists were blind to the brewing conflict that awaited them on arrival.

Finally, a thousand years after leaving old Earth, the ships arrived on the mineral-rich planet of Kerberos. Welcome to Metalcore.

Developed by the talented folks at Studio 369, Metalcore is an NFT-based, Play-to-Earn open-world game of fast-paced mechanised combat.

Customise, upgrade, and tweak your various fighting machines to ensure your dominance in the conflict for control of Kerberos.

The core gameplay of Metalcore features a massive, persistent open world; with mixed combat featuring a number of powerful and fantastical mechanical aids.

All combat feeds into and informs the greater conflict that underpins the world of Metalcore — the Faction War.

Every player in Metalcore will belong to a Faction, and large-scale combat between Factions for control over segments of the world map will present players with both the highest risk and the most rewards.

Metalcore Economy

The Metalcore economy and universe are supported through unique NFTs, with limited numbers of each type of NFT being minted throughout the development and release schedule of the game.

Each Mech NFT has a number of unique traits including chassis, class, type, utility & weapon slots, rarity, and level.

Players owning multiple NFTs can, under certain conditions, merge or forge them together to create a single, even more, powerful unit for their use on the battlefield.

You might also want to combine your resources with other players into Baronies — guild-like organisations that will allow players to lease usage of vehicles from their fellow Barons for a fee, awarded to the owner of the NFT.

Metalcore is an exciting and ambitious project that promises to be the start of an expansive ‘Metalverse’, filled with exciting stories and experiences set within this engaging universe.

They hope to be able to share more about Metalcore with their community soon!

“Being the top of the battle mech genre requires more than the graphics of TitanFall and gameplay of Into the Breach. Metalcore aims to bring the best of these worlds alongside the depth that gaming NFTs can create. Excited to immerse in the world the amazing team is creating.”  — Jansen Teng, CEO of PathDAO.

“A game with the size and scope of METALCORE should be experienced with other players. Joining a gaming guild not only gives you people to play with, it allows you to be a part of a community with common goals. Maybe you don’t have enough crypto to mint one of the epic mechs, but you are clearly one of the most skilled players in the game, a gaming guild like PathDAO may want to recruit you to help them win matches.” – Sam Kim, Sr. Advisor at METALCORE.

About MetalCore

MetalCore is an NFT-based, open world, mechanized combat game. Fight alongside your faction in territorial battles on a mineral rich alien planet. Win vehicles and machines, craft gear, recruit pilots, develop land, sell and trade gear and much more as players battle for planetary domination.
