PLAYA3ULL GAMES wins crypto gaming at the Australian Crypto Convention 2024

The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team of Michael (Credi3ull), Ben (Transforma3ULL),  Emily (Imagina3ULL), and Daelum (Likea3ULL)  had the pleasure of attending the Australian Crypto Convention in Sydney, Australia on November 23-24, 2024. PLAYA3ULL GAMES was a registration sponsor for Aus Crypto Con. This included a nifty booth, panel talk, and a presentation about the state of crypto gaming and how PLAYA3ULL GAMES are innovating within the web3 space. We even had a mechanical 3ULL ride to celebrate the Q4 bull run!  

Read our takeaways from the events below.

Leveraging the excitement at our booth

The 3ULL ride was a popular attraction at Aus Crypto Con.

The whole weekend was filled with excitement, and many new faces discovered PLAYA3ULL GAMES at our booth. We showed off our fantastic collection of games like NEXUS and ORDINEM, and people took the opportunity to share their details (either when registering their tickets or at our booth) to receive an exclusive 3ULL Coin drop after the event concluded.  Meeting the local Australian community was also an incredible experience, as we were the only crypto gaming company at the conference.

Our mechanical 3ULL ride was a HUGE success!  Riders eagerly tested their endurance, challenging themselves to see how long they could hold on.  The top 10 riders with the best times shared in the total prize pool of $1,500 USD paid in 3ULL Coins. Everyone who participated in the 3ULL ride competition received merchandise from PLAYA3ULL GAMES. 

Presenting WTF is Crypto Gaming & Why is it important?

Michael Hanlon (CEO of PLAYA3ULL GAMES) presents at Aus Crypto Con.

The atmosphere was electric as our CEO, Michael, gave a 25-minute overview of crypto gaming and its importance.  Included in the presentation was:

• The explosive growth of the gaming industry

• How gaming can be the bridge to true mass adoption of Web3

• The rise of Web3 gaming and how we got here

• Key pitfalls and solutions for ensuring Web3 gaming is successful

• How PLAYA3ULL GAMES is approaching this new frontier

Another key topic was the distinction between Web2 and Web3 gaming.  This included comparing limited ownership (Web2) vs actual player ownership in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for Web3.  Additionally, the play-and-earn model showcased how gamers can now generate real-world value. The presentation was insightful, and the crowd visited the PLAYA3ULL GAMES booth afterwards to learn more.

Panel - Why 2025 could be the most transformative year for crypto gaming?

Insightful panel about the future of crypto gaming.

PLAYA3ULL GAMES hosted a great panel at the NEXA theatre that covered ‘Why 2025 could be the most transformative year for crypto gaming.’  It was moderated by Ivan Vantagiato (Crypto Serpent), with panellists Simone Clow (Zebrar), Ida Mok (W3GG), Alistair Rennie (Protocol Theory), and Michael Hanlon (PLAYA3ULL GAMES).

The panel revolved around the significant hurdles Web3 gaming encounters, including scalability challenges, user retention issues, and concerns about the sustainability of economic models. Security risks and the complexities of regulation compound these problems. However, technological advancements and more player-focused design approaches offer pathways to improvement. PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a compelling example of innovation within this evolving space.

There’s no better time to get into the PLAYA3ULL GAMES ecosystem

PLAYA3ULL GAMES' booth at Aus Crypto Con 2024.

With over 30 games planned to be released in 10 years by PLAYA3ULL GAMES, we’re a dedicated and experienced Web3 gaming studio. We leverage popular video game genres and combine them with actual player ownership and rewards.  With a thriving Discord community and two games already released on the Epic Games Store (NEXUS and ORDINEM).  Our innovative games have already captivated the hearts of gamers and will continue throughout the years as we release more games and build utility for the 3ULL Coin.

Thanks for reading another exciting update from the PLAYA3ULL GAMES.  The weekend was packed with enthusiasm, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for 2025 and beyond.

Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

ORDINEM - Official Game Release on Epic Games Store

The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team is excited to announce that the official open beta release of our second game, ORDINEM, is now available on the Epic Games store.

ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.  It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and 3ULL coin integration.  The game is heavily inspired by Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone and other similar online card games.

Below, you’ll find a starter’s guide to ORDINEM.  Let’s go!

Get the crash course on ORDINEM right here!

What are the basic game rules?

ORDINEM challenges players to strategically play cards in battle, giving them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops with strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).  They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, click here.  Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM.

Follower

Followers are ‘creatures’ or ‘minions’ that can be summoned.  Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.

Relic

Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.

Twine

Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.

Spell

Magical spells are played for a ‘one-off’ dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.

Weave

Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.

More information about the order of play can be found here. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.

What Web3 elements make ORDINEM unique?

NFT games like ORDINEM boast many advantages over traditional video games.  For instance, cards and packs in ORDINEM are NFTs that cement the idea of true player ownership. These NFTs give players the freedom to hold and trade their cards on the open marketplace using PLAYA3ULL GAMES’ in-game cryptocurrency 3ULL coin.  Being NFTs also enables players to track the pack's history from when it was created to any other trading activity the NFT may have gone through before its current listing.

ORDINEM card packs can only be purchased with 3ULL coin, thus increasing the coin's utility and staying true to PLAYA3ULL GAMES’ commitment of 30 games in 10 years using the 3ULL coin as the native in-game currency.

Another exciting blockchain element is the Play-to-Earn aspect of ORDINEM.  Compete against other players in intense PvP Matches (Casual and Ranked Mode) and be rewarded! Each victory gives you a chance to be rewarded with an ORDINEM ORIGINS Card Pack. Players can earn multiple weekly ORIGIN Card Packs for competing in PvP matches.

Note: After each consecutive Card Pack is earned, the drop rate of card packs is reduced slightly! This resets weekly.
