How can you spot a decent Gamefi project?

[MarvieJ]

Look, I’ve been around long enough to know how GameFi usually goes. A project drops, everyone pretends to care about the “game” while they farm the token, and a few months later, it’s a ghost town. We’ve all seen it.

So when I started seeing people talk about Zoo, I figured it was just another copy-paste P2E farm. But then something weird happened, people weren’t just talking about price. They were actually playing. I kept seeing posts about the UI, strategies, how the game feels, even small details like animations. When was the last time a GameFi project had actual players before the hype even started?

Now, I’m not saying this is the next big thing, and I’m definitely not out here throwing blind bets. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best plays don’t always come with loud announcements. Sometimes they just start building before anyone notices.

Could be nothing. Could be something. Just wondering if anyone else has actually played it, what was your allocation? https://x.com/zoo_channel/status/1894287852147519503?s=46&t=DQJcWEIrVmFfb9WBsX2UwA

I also came across some posts mentioning it and i must admit the UI design was really good but i didn’t play the game though, realized it was too late but nevertheless Bitget listing it will unlock it will unlock its potential because it seems the projects on TON ecosystem nowadays are starting to come around, you can check here to get more info(https://www.reddit.com/r/TonDiscussion/s/PLszgQmiHY )

Can you tell us about the user interface and strategies you applied while playing Zoo?

I don't know actually; we started the Galactic Milieu back before 2012, and it hasn't really begun to be hyped yet.

Since then? Not sure...

Feel free to start the hype any time now, though you might want to pick up various of its currencies and other assets before "spreading the news", and maybe even snap up some prime virtual real-estate, get a few characters well developed and so on, sure it is a co-operative game but still it seems possible some players onboarding in the future could end up "in competition" with you if only in their own heads...

Plus of course little things like the books in the libraries only give experience once per "refresh" of their map, so the more players touring them for experience the more often you are going to get there only to find someone already harvested those experience points just before you got there... So getting in while population densities are low could be a big advantage over the long term. Though we've only been running over 12 years or so, not sure how long a term you would consider "long"...

Trying to get this to work out very well for us isn't really that much of a work because we are not going to see this be that easy at all, we need to make sure that we can't be making that type of reality at all. GameFi is obviously a big deal but if you want to make a good investment then you are not going to see anything good at all, you are going to end up with too much trouble.

We are not going to see gamefi or any other project being that easy for most of the time, people are just approaching this the wrong way and that is why it is not that easy at all. If you could do a lot better with already established projects, then you keep doing that and would be a lot better for you on the long term without a doubt.
