Kaidro co-creator Robert Simons said Polygon had originally planned to develop more games in-house, but felt that Kaidro had been “handed over” to Immutable after the network teamed up. Although Immutable said there were “really great people” and “good energy” throughout the game, Kaidro’s team felt a change in atmosphere during the transition.
“We personally didn’t think we were getting the same level of engagement that we got with Polygon in the beginning.” simmons said decryption. “It was a little frustrating on our part.”
Around this time, the team met Sky Mavis co-founder Jeffery “Jihoz” Zirlin in Japan. Already fans of Sky Mavis’ Ronin network and Axie Infinity, the group got into conversation and realized they were a perfect match for blockchain gaming and the future of that space.
Zirin admitted. decryptionGG said he was initially disappointed to learn that Kaidro was already building other chains because he saw potential in the creators and their projects.
“There were attempts to animate it. PFP/gaming We tried to do a crossover, but we felt no team was able to implement it properly,” he said. “We felt like this was a team that could really dominate that niche.”
He continued to praise the Kairo team and emphasized their communication skills. “When you meet them, you can tell they are genuine and they love what they do,” he said.
“It was a match made in heaven,” Simons added. It may sound like a cheesy romance, but as we chat, it becomes clear that the two feel very identified around their common path.
Fortunately, the honeymoon period is not over yet. Kaidro felt “very grateful” for Ronin. It’s a far cry from how he felt about Immutable just a few months ago. They now work “on a daily basis” with various Sky Mavis departments supporting Kaidro on strategy, marketing, social media and more.
“It really feels like an extension of our team,” Simons explained. “It’s a big, symbiotic relationship that kind of feeds all the ‘blood vessels’ of the company and our partners and beyond.”
Cairo’s next move
As this new marriage breathes fresh life into its creator, Kaidro is preparing a private alpha for the Clan Battle game that will be available for the first time to Spark Suit NFT holders. “Within the next few weeks”.
As it stands, the developers are only focused on perfecting the game’s mechanics despite it being a story-driven RPG. This element of Kaidro will not be available until release.
Unlike most Web3 games, Kaidro is available on Steam. Notorious for being a game store owned by Valve Blockchain games banned in 2021This led to the release of many Web3 games. Epic Games Store It could also debut through a blockchain-centric launcher instead.
Kaidro’s games are free to play with no Web3 integration required. As a result, gamers can download and play games on Steam without ever touching their cryptocurrency wallet. Loading the Kaidro website opens up a world of Web3 benefits.
“Our website is somewhat similar to what we achieved with Xbox Live,” Simons said. decryption. “As you play the game, you unlock these achievements on the website and you will now earn rewards along the way. When you attach an NFT, you actually attach the NFT to the website and receive an in-game skin.”
As these expectations grow, the creators are looking to temper expectations that the Kaidro animated project will be released soon following the release of the trailer in February. In fact, that part of the Kaidro project is still over a year away from being ready for launch. But the game’s release will help spread the comic-based IP to a much wider audience in the meantime.
“I think this year and next will be very important years for Kaidro. Because it continues to grow and the game starts to reach release. We’ll have seasons and things like that coming out,” Simons said. “We’re really excited.”
