I remember seeing this idiot all over the Steam forums back in the day. I wouldn’t trust anything he makes even if it wasn’t blockchain related. His games suck, and he himself is a huge, arrogant asshole.
Jesus Christ, he’s still alive?! I haven’t heard that name in years.
For those not blessed with the knowledge of our divine Lord and saviour Derek Smart, God’s gift to fame designers, oh boy, grab your popcorn, this is going to be good.
And by “good” I mean that whatever Derek has come up with will manage to be the most objectively terrible version of that thing possible, and he will aggressively defend it as the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of everything, ever.
multi-blockchain ‘virtual town hall of engagement opportunities’
Wow, this single phrase managed to make me puke a bit inside my mouth three times - might be a new record…
“Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working, but few seem to want to buck the status quo trend because the road less traveled isn’t for the feint at heart; it’s for pioneers and those who dare to defy,” Smart concludes. “And so, here I am, once again at the cusp of one of my greatest challenges, and what I believe to be my last hoorah, if you will.”

You can stop there. That’s because so-called “web3 gaming” solves a problem that only exists in the mind of the dozen vocal idiots that want it to happen. And that problem is mostly “I don’t really like video games, but I would play if that game was just about thinly veiled real money transactions instead”.
Wow it’s been so long since I’ve heard about them, and I used to follow their development closely some years ago. Well, at least they’re still alive and working on it. I remember them having some tough times during covid.
What better way to show your game isn’t mired in controversy by disabling likes and comments on your showcase video. This isn’t going to end well, but I hope I’m wrong.
I’ll try it when it comes out. I really got hooked by Warhammer Online mostly until it closed (now alive again).
I never backed it, but I never felt Jacob’s as anyone bad. He put his own money in and I believe they did considerable refunds after a while. Maybe a bit misguided with whatever that spinoff game was. Warhammer Online tried the same thing after he had already left, with Wrath of Heroes.
If it is fun PvP, I’ll be there. I hope they popularize something new again. I feel like many games have some version of public quests now.
I don’t think Jacobs is a scammer like Chris Roberts with Store Citizen, but you got to agree the 12 year history of CU does not inspire confidence.
I say this as someone who enjoyed Darkfall and can’t stand pure themepark MMOs. I tried to get into DAOC, but the UI/UX is simply too old school for someone who hasn’t played it back in the day.
I miss Warhammer Online. Sometimes I play the fanserver, but the feeling is not there. The past is impossible to get back to, sadly. Still nice to visit though!
I never backed (I only back single player games on Kickstarter). Just wanted to share with others the saga of this 12 years in-development indie crowdfunded MMO.
Id that even Dune? The stuff they’re wearing and the setting they are in does not look like the dune that’s shown in trailers… For one they’re are trees and no sand
