Seedworld - Founder's Update #1

A New Beginning

Hello Seedworld Community,

Today, I want to start a new beginning for our community.

The Seedworld team has been building without too many updates, except the ones we shared over the months from the Seedify monthly update articles.

While our intention wasn’t to keep you in the dark, our initial team structure was focused more on art & development. As a completely bootstrapped studio, without any outside investments, we wanted to have that time for creative explorations, while developing Seedworld, instead of sharing too much, too early.

Unlike many game genres; where the foundations, game loops, and mechanics are often tried and tested many times, user-generated content gaming only has a few examples: such as Roblox and Fortnite Creative.

Our aim at Seedworld was always to connect UGC gaming with real-world economy and RPG elements, which is something that has never been done before. We could see this same vision in the movie “Ready Player One.” Without VR/AR elements being a must.

One connected world that opens you up to infinite experiences created by other users. Mostly revolving around social gaming. Although not limited to it.

This idea gained so much momentum in recent years.

Yet interlinked progression, resources, and real-world economy are missing parts in today’s UGC gaming. With these, the depth and player delight will be thousandfold.

At Seedworld, we have stayed silent while building to have creative freedom while exploring these uncharted waters with our team (which is now reaching 50+ full-time members). In the past 2 months, we have focused on scaling a lot more.

In fact, here are all the positions we are currently hiring:

Undoubtedly, our community wants more updates, and more public-building from us.

I’ve got some exciting news about this part too. In the last 2 months, we have created the initial foundation of our content & marketing team with new additions to our team, and there will be more team members we are adding, whose sole job will be to update you with a variety of content through our socials.

We will not just share content but also focus on IP building, through a variety of means: such as visual storytelling, lore, worldbuilding, showcase videos, and some other surprises.

We believe a strong IP will help welcome more love and interest in Seedworld.

Also, starting this month, there will be bi-weekly dev updates, from this Substack, featuring what’s happening on Seedworld, with highlights from marketing, dev & art divisions. To make these constant updates easily consumable, we will also have visual content in them.

Regarding the Seedworld Vanguards art upgrade, the art team has been creating something we all love. The races are now fully ready, with trait additions coming every day. I think you will love what we are creating too! We will start to showcase them quite soon.

Transparently speaking, our chosen direction is more like a transformation than an upgrade. A hint I can give there for now is that: we are going with something familiar for a wider range of gaming and fantasy audiences.

I know that long-awaited staking, token, and other web3-related parts need more light too. With much more clarity, let’s cover these parts in the next founder update.

We kept you in the dark for some time, but the next phase is about the light coming from every corner one by one.

Lastly, I want to share my gratitude for patiently waiting for us.

Let’s begin the phase of public-building, and invite the light into Seedworld.
