Going to the Slush yearly conference is always a winner. This year was extra special as CEO and cofounder Le Zhang joined Angela Dalton??Slush from Signum Growth on stage to talk about #UGC and the future of #games. Lots of amazing conversations about the future of Roblox, Fortnite and #Web3.

What a fantastic resource, and so excited to be a part of the Decasonic #Web3 market map!! Helping bring Roblox Fortnite and more into the Web3 world through streamlined licensing! #blockchain #crypto

Le shared some insights around IP and fan engagement at our Slush event that I think are going to be pretty revolutionary for how creators can build out strong business. We had a podcast with him on bits of signum, I suggest hunting it down as some of it was shared there too.

So great to share the stage with thought leaders like this!

Quick check in on this Sunday with GRATITUDE - will write a full thought piece on our Slush event on what we learned from some incredible game developers and thought leaders in UGC, but the last 7 days have been a whirlwind of love, hugs and PINK! ?? 1) Helsinki - ~250 people joined an incredible gathering of minds on the Future of Gaming, co-hosted with Gamefam. At Signum Growth Dot Play we believe in a world in which game developers stay close to their audiences, maintain creative control and capture the value they deserve. The background says, “Roblox and UGC Gaming Will Disrupt Console, Mobile, and Media Itself. What are You Going to Do About It?” (h/t Joe Ferencz) Loved learning from Michael Galstyan (creator of War Tycoon!) and listening to Lee Veitch, Tami Bhaumik and Kay Vasey on our responsibilities to kids, the community and authenticity, to Marc Seal, Sortium on responsible #AI in games, to Arron Goolsbey, Mythical Games on blockchain working in the background, to Le Zhang, Spaceport.xyz on the future of #IPRights in games???? Creators Undonebuilder and @MATS (Super League Soccer!) were inspiring. And the Epic Games UEFN panel with Grace Lind - ?? Dreamhack ????, Kevin Marciano, Birdo and Brendan Stock ?? Slush was ?? (missed you Miles Dorsey ??) 2) Stopped in DC for Frank McCourt/Project Liberty’s Summit on the Future of the Internet (check out his People’s Bid for Tik Tok!) and caught up with some new and old Polkadot and other friends?incl. Chrissy Hill, úrsula O'Kuinghttons, Peter M. Christoph Kampitsch, Jeffrey Edell, Ethan Sawyer, and many more! 3) Landed just in time for Mythical’s announcement to partner with FIFA Mobile on a new game - FIFA Rivals. This is HUGE - their first game, NFL Rivals, drew 6 million players, but FIFA could be 20x the size??? EA Madden at ~25 million players vs FIFA Mobile which *was* at 500 million. I loved Mattias Grafstr?m’s, FIFA Secretary General, quote in Dean Takahashi's excellent article "Mythical Games teams with FIFA to make Web3 mobile soccer game FIFA Rivals" Loved every second with Team Dot Play - Nicholas Douzinas, Eliza Jappinen, our extended team, and those there in spirit Keshav Holani James Purell and Karen Bader! Also, to the rest of the rock star Gamefam team -Ricardo Briceno, Alexandra (Alli) Guglielmino, Justin Peress - THANK YOU!!! #polkadot #inittowinit #games #UGC #futureofgaming #media #entertainment #IPrights #ResponsibleAI #AIinGames #developersfirst #lesstrustmoretruth

So proud that Le Zhang has made the License Global Influentials 2024 Shortlist as a nominee for Global Innovator https://lnkd.in/e7ay5krU . With deals announced with Com2us Corporation, Toei Animation Inc. Threadless and more coming, it's been a banner year, and we're excited for what next year will bring!!

What a beautiful sizzle reel from Twin Atlas + Toei Animation Inc. in support of their new game Hypergalactic: Monkey Quest. Toei, a venerated Japanese public company and creator of #SailorMoon and #DragonBallZ, has taken a brand new approach to the introduction of a brand new #anime #IP, Hypergalactic. By launching the game first into Roblox using the Spaceport platform, they are looking to engage new audiences before the launch of their traditional animated feature #film. It's an innovative approach to #marketing, and looks to IP to create an army of brand creators and ambassadors.

So excited!!! Join us at Slush in Helsinki tomorrow and hear our CEO Le Zhang Chat about the future of #games.
