A blockchain game called “Fancy Birds” recently received support from top DeFi projects, and the game is expected to replicate the success of 2013 mobile game “Flappy Bird”.
Synthetix’s Kain Warwick, Aave’s Stani Kulechov, Barnbridge’s Tyler Ward, angel investor Santiago Santos (formerly ParaFi Capital) and Sushi’s 0xmaki joined this week in the upcoming seed round for Fancy Birds, which will launch in a month. roll out.
Fancy Birds is a single-player mobile game featuring 8,888 randomly generated NFT characters that initially feature customization, fighting through levels to earn their spot as the "prettiest bird in the nest".
Successful players can earn 40% of the Fancy (FNC) token supply, and the upgraded game will feature a multiplayer mode with plans for breeding, staking, and tournaments. The team is discussing launching it on Immutable X, an ethereum NFT scalable layer 2 project.
Like many other potentially large meme projects, a few weeks ago, Illuvium founder Kieran Warwick questioned on Twitter: “How come no one has created a game to earn Flappy Bird?” he told Cointelegraph.
"It's not complicated, it's just super addictive, it's a lot of fun, and at its peak, it had 100 million daily users. It turns out that someone is actually developing it, and it's in beta right now."
Warwick joined as an advisor and helped organize the previous seed round, and now the team is working on the next round with Framework Ventures, Delphi Digital and a16z.
The snowballing project is reminiscent of Barnbridge founder and Flappy Bird investor Tyler Ward's Non Fungible Pepe project, remembered by some earlier this year, for earning several dollars in a matter of weeks. million, then turned into Universe.xyz for copyright reasons.
Warwick’s own project, Illuvium, is another upcoming blockchain P2E game that is growing exponentially. The price of the ILV token has risen from $33 in June to $800 now, and it has amassed a $500 million market cap and 200,000 Discord members.
Warwick also suggested that they build community governance based on the models of Illuvium and Synthetix.
He said: "This team is really easy to accept, they want to be completely decentralized, first of all, there is a DAO, and there is a governance committee, and 100% of the profits (collected platform fees) will be returned to the stakers."
“We reworked the tokenomics to make more sense, so I think they’re going to be really big players.”
Illuvium is the game's official partner, and fans can play Fancy Birds using an 8-bit version of the game's protagonist, Rhamphyre.
Fancy Birds hopes to appeal to the huge P2E community in countries like the Philippines. "It's the same as Axie Infinity, but it's on mobile and anyone can play it, so I'm looking forward to getting a lot of players," Warwick said.
Meanwhile, Warwick said, the Illuvium team is preparing for the release of its first trailer, showing the world exactly how the game will work.
"We've obviously had a lot of hype, we've got close to 200,000 people on Discord right now, and things are going really well. But one thing we haven't shown yet is our gameplay trailer," he said.
"There's going to be a lot of people on the sidelines, and this (the game trailer) should help us get them over the sidelines and tell us, 'This is really a triple-A game'."
