The Spark (ep. #32)

Hello and welcome to the episode #32 of “The Spark“ newsletter!

Here you can find everything you need to stay up-to-date with upcoming and existing NFT projects and web3 games.

Now let’s dive into the info

Episode structure:

[Early alpha] section:

1. Revived (4900 followers)

• Building a UGC-focused gaming platform

• First native title - Strifest, a team-based arena shooter with building elements and abilities (Fortnite x Overwatch)

• Free mint, low supply

My take:

As previously mentioned, project is focused on incentivizing the user generated content creation within Revived ecosystem, and they aim to simplify this process via built-in tools: no-code game maker, asset creator plugin and advanced marketplace aggregator.

Strifest is the game developed by Revived itself, which will utilize all the tools built by its parent company. Based off trailer on X it looks decent.

Essentially, the plan is to build an interconnected world of games and experiences, co-created by Revived, 3rd party developers and standalone enthusiasts.

For now you can visit their website to fill the closed playtest form and then keep an eye on upcoming Discord. Collabs are not (yet) open as far as I know.
