Jon Jordan talks to Laguna Labs' CEO Aron Beierschmitt about leaving behind debut game Crypto Unicorns and moving to new project Neo Olympus, which is a fully onchain game using the MUD engine and running on the B3 blockchain, with assets on Ethereum and Base. [2:45] What happened to Crypto Unicorns? [4:02] 2024 was a rough year. We went from +90 people to 10. But the DAO still exists. [5:27] "I accept all the blame for the failure. But I'm optimist about the path forward." [9:08] What was the spark of inspiration for Neo Olympus? [11:10] Why Aron is bullish on fully onchain games. [12:05] "Crypto Unicorns would still be around today if it was fully onchain." [13:15] Why did you choose B3 as the blockchain for Neo Olympus? [14:12] Neo Olympus will be cross-platform: playable from Arbitrum, from Abstract, from Ronin. [15:20] Most of the Neo Olympus' NFTs will be minted on Base. [18:57] The DN404 standard is "memecoins meets NFTs". [25:49] There's no investor or team allocation for the Olympus token. [28:39] "Time-based token vesting is silly." [31:15] What did your investors think about this approach? [34:20] How do you hope to scale Neo Olympus as fully onchain games can be complex? [35:27] Neo Olympus' gameplay is map-based tactics - Fire Emblem with titans. [37:22] We're building the game on Lattice's MUD engine.
