Worldwide Webb is a gaming realm that lets you turn your NFT PFPs (Punks, Apes, Doodles and so on) into playable avatars. Founder Thomas Webb spoke to Decrypt's Dan Roberts at NFT Paris about how the game works, the $10m Series A funding it just received, and why he expects we'll soon see NFT games that show what NFT gaming can do in its best form.
After profile pictures, NFT creators forayed into the world of gaming, with limited success in breaking into gamer culture.
These days, though, Worldwide Webb founder Thomas Webb thinks this sentiment is changing.
Webb told Decrypt at this year’s NFT Paris that "the real challenge for us is going to be showing gamers that NFT games aren't just about minting and staking and yield farming; actually, they're about competing, collaborating, taking on challenges and earning from that.”
One needn't look far to get a sense of the gaming world's sentiment on integrating jpegs.
When GSC Game World announced that it would be incorporating NFTs into S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, gamers mocked the developer for jumping blindly into a fad. The Ukrainian developers ultimately canceled the launch, telling fans “based on the feedback we received we’ve made a decision to cancel anything NFT-related.”
Ubisoft faced similar in 2021 backlash after it moved to implement in-game NFTs on a Tezos-based platform called Quartz. Despite the backlash, the firm’s blockchain technical director said that “it is a major change that will take time.”
Worldwide Webb supports more than 1 million Ethereum NFT avatars and is fully online and browser-based. Players can plug in their Ethereum wallet and use their NFT avatars from popular collections like the Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, Doodles, Cool Cats, and Deadfellaz.
Each supported avatar is converted into a 2D pixel character that players own and control, interacting or battling with other players, and taking on various bosses.
Most metaverse games opt for 3D environments, with varying degrees of success, but Worldwide Webb has charted a different path: this massively multiplayer online (MMO) world opts for a retro, Super Nintendo-esque style, yet it supports more than a million Ethereum NFT avatars. And it’s expanding, thanks in part to a new funding round. Worldwide Webb, founded by artist and game designer Thomas Webb, today revealed a $10 million Series A round funded entirely by VC firm Pantera Capital. It’s the...
"I'm really hoping to see a couple of games that unite all of these NFT collections, all of these brands under one single place and to fight, compete, share an experience together," Webb said. "And I think the more we see those, the more that NFT gaming is going to grow and we're going to start making a really good name for what NFT gaming is and should be and will be in the future."
Webb isn’t alone on the future of NFT gaming, either. The project just raised $10 million in a series A backed by Pantera Capital, marking the game's first external funding round since its initial debut in 2020.
Prominent Telegram crypto game Tomarket will launch its TOMA token on the Aptos network this week, following a late-breaking shift from The Open Network (TON). It’s almost time for players to reap what they have sown in the tomato-themed game, as the token is set to start trading soon. Tomarket has split its airdrop into at least three events. One already took place on October 31, but users could not withdraw or trade their tokens—this was more akin to revealing token allocations ahead of the ai...
Crypto gaming franchise Pixelverse is launching a new tactical deck builder game that transforms popular cryptocurrency memes into playable characters, the firm announced Thursday.

Players will be able to build squads using the meme coin-based characters and compete in battles to earn rewards. Characters from other crypt...
Blockchain gaming is reaching a new stage of maturity, with increasing numbers of players accessing games more seamlessly, according to an organization focused on advancing the technology in the gaming sector. However, there are changes in the sector that could create dramatic shifts as traditional gaming developers come into play. The changing tides coincide with major studios like Sony and Square Enix entering the space through layer-2 solutions, according to an industry survey released by the...
