RE: Checking Back On My Old Projects

Re: Doctor Who Worlds Apart
You got me into it. And up until May 2023, I was logging in and claiming daily. THe old version of the site allowed logins from Twitter, but since they have re-launched with a new version of the game, I haven't been able to login.

Prior to the new site, there was a marketplace with minimal liquidity. The marketplace functionality and UI was clunky - took me an hour to list 5 pages of cards and I only managed to get 2 sales.

Re: Alien Worlds
Another game you got me into and I did the same as you, I sold all my key NFTs during the 2021 NFT bull craze and funneled that money into other games. I haven't been back, but there daily/monthly users according to dappradar has always been high (top 10 games). Super keen to read if you do dig deeper.

Re: Cub Finance and Polycub
I still remember hearing about Cub Finance and my first purchase of Cub was at $1.81 and have been watching it ride all the way down. I just do monthly claims as I have some farms running but don't think it will ever revive itself as the InLeo (formerly leofinance) team is fully focused on inleo platform.

About Alien Worlds, and I don't mean to intrude that much, it's really to share a technical consideration.

I observed their population for some time and for the time I observed it (which stopped some time ago but it was still the exact same 200k and had the exact same activity at that moment, though I would need to verify it more closely it looks the same) it does not follow a normal curve and behavior and related market activity.

Making me think of mainly a "stable bot farm". But there is a new habit in wax projects handled by marketing - you know how they have some ponzi tendency and also use "pragmatic solutions" to keep $ on top - which is usually to set up their own bot farm for their own projects, so as to keep on top on charts and also gather up their own currency; they don't think trading against their players would be so bad once they can drive the value up by other means.

This may look surprising but it's only a technical note I wanted to share.

I observe this habit in several projects (well at least 2), and I know by vocal confirmation from an owner in one wax project owned by marketing, where they precisely set up their own private bots to farm their own currencies.

It's real, it happens, and it scales, and nothing can tell them it would be a "bad idea" because they only see the money and the currency control - with currency farmed that they could want to sell at top value, considering they can drive value with announcements or content, so they can use trading as well once they give value to things, and players would not guess it because of course it's done in secret with their own fake accounts.

Sorry for the mood but hopefully we can try to have other ethics. Setting up a project-owned bot farm to have a lot of stats on dappradar is easy, unfortunately. It gives the accounts and the activity. But people also unfortunately look less at these details these days, and start to think it's a normal culture too.

Ah this is fantastic insight @elindos

Awesome, thanks a lot for the great feedback!
I'll start looking into Gods Unchained first as I see the biggest potential there.
I'll move on to the rest after that and will absolutely let you know.
