Frumps | OIG: Greetings OIG Community! We are excited to bring you another amazing AMA today!

We have Nest Arcade with us today, Play, Earn, Connect. Access To Unlimited P2E x NFT Games All In One Mobile App. Joining us is Tye Howatt (Co-Founder)

Welcome to the OIG Main Stage @metatye! Can you introduce yourself briefly to our community?

Tye: Hi everyone! I’m Tye, one of the co-founders of Nest Arcade. My background is in marketing and product development. A few months ago I have left a previous marketing startup to go full time into crypto and it’s been incredible

Frumps | OIG: It's a real pleasure to have you today and hear all about your amazing project

Tye

Thank you :) happy to answer any questions you have today

Frumps | OIG: Let’s jump straight in!

What is Nest Arcade? How would you describe it?

Tye: Great question

I would describe it as Netflix for P2E Games and NFT collections.

Users can play from a wide variety of casual P2E games all in one place + majority of games will have NFT support

Frumps | OIG:😍 Netflix for P2E Games and NFT collections — — I love this answer, that is a very exciting concept

Tye: Thank you, We think so too 🤩

Frumps | OIG: Can you tell us about the key features of the Nest Arcade platform?

Tye: For sure

In short the top features I would say are:

1️⃣ Stream Unlimited P2E Games from 1 app

2️⃣ Nest Marketplace (Trade Playable NFT collections)

3️⃣ Weekly Bonus Rewards (For activity)

Frumps | OIG: Brilliant! Each of them sounds great, especially the weekly bonus rewards! That will keep players engaged and motivated!

Tye: Definitely the plan 🤝 little incentive to continue playing with Nest

Frumps | OIG: We read that Nest Arcade will be the parent company that hosts a bundle of sub-products. Can you tell us a little about these

Tye: For sure would be happy to touch on this. Some sub-products that Nest will be launching in 2022 are:

1️⃣ Nest marketplace (for NFT collections that are playable in Nest Arcade) — play after collecting

2️⃣ Nest Hub (Launchpad for NFT collections + Games) + bring web 2 games into web3

3️⃣ Nest Tournaments (Tournaments + Streaming + competition)

Frumps | OIG: Wow! This is an extensive product list. That's incredible to hear, there is so much happening! 2022 is going to be a HUGE year for you guys

Tye: Yes, very exciting things coming for 2022 🔥🥂

Frumps | OIG: Can you tell us about some of the mini-games you have coming out?

Tye: Of course, I’ll list a few notable ones

few notable games currently in development are

MetaBirds (flappy bird style game w/ NFTS) — demo end of this month 👀

Crossy Road Style Game (W/ New Nest NFT collection)

2048 Style Puzzle Game

Doodle Jump Style Game (W/ NFT Support)

Dune / flappy wings game

Golf ⛳️ w/ NFT collection

Racing game 🏎 (more info soon) — will have a fun 3D car NFT collection

Skate game 🛹 (more info soon) will also come with its own NFT characters + accessories

And others

Frumps | OIG: 🚀 That is an exciting range of games, excellent stuff!

How does the play to earn aspect work? What are the different ways players can earn in Nest Arcade?

Tye: Thank you 🚀🚀🚀

Few ways

Players earn in-game by playing well, collecting $FTH or competing goals in game

+ Players earn weekly platform rewards for activity of the app.

Other ways would be from tournaments and winning multiplayer bouts or races

Frumps | OIG: 💰💰💰There is a good amount of potential income from playing then!

Tye: Will try to add as many as possible 💸

Frumps | OIG Great to hear

Can you tell us a little about your NFTs and their utilities?

Tye: For sure

Nest NFTs and any NFT collection looking to partner with us

Will be playable in 1 or multiple games

Earn you 10X the rewards while playing

+ unlock weekly rewards on the platform

More benefits will come soon

As for now

MetaBirds will get you 1,000 $FTH upon listings + beta access to the app and metabirds game

Frumps | OIG: Wow! Clearly it is of great benefit to own an NFT, especially the MetaBirds one!

Tye: Yessir! Will add more benefits as well in the future but believe it’s a good start 🤝🥂

Frumps | OIG: What is the $FTH token used for?What are the holder benefits?

Tye: In short, the list would be:

💸 Earnings

⚡️ Weekly Rewards

💥 Power ups & in-app purchases

⛳️ Transaction Fees

Frumps | OIG: Again, like the NFTs, clearly there is great benefit in having $FTH!

Tye: Little more in-depth $FTH is essentially Nests in-game and on-platform economy.

Users can use $FTH to purchase power apps, game assets, entry or normal TX fees, purchase power-ups and earn $FTH in game and from weekly rewards. 🙌

Frumps | OIG: So it's truly an integral part of the platform!

Tye: Of course plus it’s tradable which is a plus haha you can sell the in-game currency

Unlike current web2 games

Where you rent their assets and currency — and can never get your money out

Frumps | OIG: A big improvement, this will motivate many and create a good supplementary income for playing and having fun

Tye: Yes! Very big improvement

Frumps | OIG: What is coming up in your roadmap that we should know about?

Tye: Earliest event coming up will be our IDOS across several launchpads.

Date currently January 28–31st before Listing where $FTH is tradable

These dates will be updated on our website under tokenomics

We will also have our game demo for MetaBirds Live end of this month as well! For MetaBird NFT Holders only before public a little later down the line

Frumps | OIG: So there is a great deal happening soon! I recommend our community follow your socials to stay up to date with the great deal of exciting news that will come out

Tye: For sure if they are interested most info is on our Twitter \ TG and website

Frumps | OIG:Well Tye, It's been amazing hearing about Nest Arcade, its now the community chance to ask questions, there was a huge number to choose from, clearly people are very interested.

Tye: It’s been great :) really appreciate you having us on today. Lovely community you have as well

Twitter Community Questions:

Questions 1)

Tye: Very good

Many rewards for launching with nest — plus the convenience is a big bonus

1. Turn your NFT collection into a P2E game (for free + zero work)

2. Launch your game on nest (earn % of TX Fees)

3. Launch game on nest w/ your NFT collection (earn TX fees + NFT royalties from nest marketplace)

Frumps | OIG: Wow, you are going to attract a huge amount of interest from creators and developers!

Tye: We hope so! Plan to be the primary Arcade for P2E the coming years

Question 2)

Tye: I like this

I would say scroll the top 100 games on the AppStore or Google play store — You will see a lot of small games but with great graphics and mini — story lines

Like angry birds or cut the rope etc

That’s the plan with nest — small complete games with incredible visuals and effects + characters will be NFTS 🙌

Frumps | OIG: Very true! Solid plan

Question 3)

Tye: Very qualified we’ve recently have done a large team expansion not all are visual under the team section on the nest arcade site

We have a team of 5+ full stack app developers and engineers

2 blockchain specialists

And 2 in/house game developers with blockchain experience

Our advisors and others around us are also amazing at team management and product development

Plus marketing connections and experience is on point at the moment

Frumps | OIG: You clearly have an eclectic and well-balaced team that can fulfil your vision

Tye: Plus we got OIG 🙌🥂

Frumps | OIG: 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 Love that answer! WE ARE FULLY BEHIND YOU

Tye: Woo! 🚀🚀🚀

Question 4)

Tye: Not sure about the NSN mention but for games

We will launch with 8–10 games developed in house and 2 NFT collections

Including some from the list above.

We are partnering with many NFT collections and games now to host on the platform

Hoping to launch with 50+ to start

We will release new games from Nest every 1–2 months following the release 🏰

Frumps | OIG: 50+ on launch and new games from Nest every 1–2 months- that is amazing to hear, this will keep all gamers happy

Tye: Will be very nice to see it come together!

Question 5)

Tye: Retention is more important than acquisition in business but we will balance both

Tons of cold audience marketing across social platforms for sign ups

And launching many new games, partnerships, tournaments and incentives to continue playing and referring 🚀⚡️

Frumps | OIG: Brilliant answer and with all the things going on for Nest Arcade and the huge number of games, retention and gaining new players will not be an issue!

Tye: Thank you! Yes getting users is easy but requires a great product to retain customers

Especially with a value prop of

Play games earn crypto 😂

Frumps | OIG: very true

Tye: Now the product has to be incredible and we will do great

Frumps | OIG: Well @metatye this about sums up our time here at the OIG Main Stage!
