Is this project purely develops games for gambling? Or the game you are looking to develop is related to NFT blockchain game that boomed recently?
Regardless, I really want to see games related to board games wherein players can compete with each other, specifically, Chess. Can you make it possible?

Just to settle out some points, Bitcointalk is not a news website, It is a place for discussions. Everyone here has the access to pass any kind of information, the information may be right or wrong, but it will be discussed. There are still chances that the information shared being discussed may be wrong or twisted. Typical news websites check sometimes to ensure that majority of the news put out are credible and not just everyone has the access to share whatever they like there. For strictly news, I am a personal fan of The Washington Post, but I still do my own verifications.

- What are some current pain points in the crypto gaming/gambling space for players?

For me definitely KYC and especially cheating on KYC. Casinos that allow you to play with no KYC and ask for it only when you win and want to withdraw, then make you go through a number of obstacles before you're finally approved.

- What would you like to see?

I wish someone finally makes a good pvp game. I know it's hard but I'd love to play something like tekken or even as simple as scrabble gainst another person at a casino.
What we don't want more (at least IMO) is another casino with dice and slots.

- What makes one game fun to play -- more so than other competitors that have similar games (ex: why you enjoy playing crypto poker on X site rather than site A)?

For some people it's going to be a site where they won a bunch of money, for others it's going to be their first casino that they like to play. I think that many people played on Primedice because it was the first site of this type that advertised so much on bitcointalk so it got a big group of players when there was almost nowhere else to go to and these people kept habitually playing there years later

- Who are some absolute Degens in the space?

Probably people who make money promoting scams like people with 1xbit sigs, unless you're asking about crazy gamblers who lose a lot of money and say they quit, but they don't quit but do it for attention. There's plenty of them here.

- Aside from BitcoinTalk (this forum) where else do you get your news that you trust (which newsletters, sites, which Youtubers, any twitter accounts)?

I have more than enough info from this forum.
