Everseed Avatars – Gaming
Website – Twitter – Discord
Everseed refers to itself as a “Farm-to-Tabletop MMO” game. Building on Solana, this is one of the more hyped gaming projects releasing this season. On April 20, the team behind Everseed, Amihan Entertainment, is releasing elixir to 5,000 allowlisted individuals. The elixir will then be redeemable for a 2D profile picture reminiscent of the 3D avatar players will use to roam the Everseed world once the beta is live. Amihan is a progressive gaming company, setting a goal of having their game be carbon negative through donation of game profits to charities fighting climate change. As for the gameplay, the most apt comparison would be Bloons Tower Defense, but instead of app developers owning your towers, you own the assets protecting your plants from animals trying to destroy your crop. For more on the gameplay, read this blog post from Everseed’s game designer.
Team:
Everseed is built by Amihan Entertainment, a game development studio founded by former Riot Games developers. Riot Games is responsible for billion-dollar game series League of Legends. The three co-founders, Kenneth Liu, Naomi Parker, and Paul Loy, alone combined have over 20 years of experience at Riot. CTO Paul Loy, spent four years at Sony prior to joining the Riot Games team. In addition to the founders, the website lists a team of 10 other members with experience at Blizzard games and other game studios.
Utility:
Everseed avatars will be playable within the highly anticipated Everseed game on Solana.
Social Media Metrics:
Everseed is a popular project prior to its mint. The project enjoys a healthy following of 28,000 on Twitter and 30,000 on Discord. An interesting feature of their Discord is potential users have to apply and pass a vote to chat in the channel.
