Bored Ape NFT Developer Yuga Labs Gears Up to Create Blockchain Gaming Projects
JAKARTA – Yuga Labs, the developer of the famous NFT collection Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), plans to present a new NFT game. Greg Solano, co-founder of Yuga Labs, recently provided an “update” via his official X account.
This announcement was greeted with enthusiasm by the owners of BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) and crypto enthusiasts in general. Solano explained that this update is part of its commitment to provide periodic reports for 10 days in order to maintain transparency with the community.
Yuga Labs, which currently holds the title of the crypto industry’s largest digital collectible franchise, is working to offer a more tangible product. Solano admits that his company has not yet reached a sweet spot in terms of product development, but he remains optimistic about a number of innovations in development.
Solano announced that the first project was ODK. ODK is considered “the best way to create and monetize 3D games or social experiences in the crypto world.” The focus on ODK indicates that Yuga Labs is intensively innovating in the gaming space.
Besides ODK, Yuga Labs is also working on Project Dragon. Solano explained that Project Dragon is a shooter game set in the absurd story of team fights. Interestingly, this game will be built using the same toolset as ODK.
Apart from the game project, Yuga Labs has also prepared “ApeFest”, a special event that will bring together thousands of Bored Ape owners from 56 countries around the world. The event will take place in a historic 15th century monastery. To liven up the event, Yuga Labs plans to create and distribute special merchandise.
Solano also revealed that the Yuga Labs team is exploring integrating BAYC with physical goods. This step aims to further strengthen the value and usability of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection.
Yuga Labs builds on NFT and gaming
Not long ago, Yuga Labs became a hot topic of conversation following the company’s restructuring decision accompanied by the layoff (PHK) of some employees. Amid this restructuring stage, Yuga Labs has actually stepped up its position in the gaming space.
One of the innovations under development is Dookey Dash, a simple game with a “play to win” mechanic that has the potential to reward its players with US$1 million (approximately Rs. 16 billion).
Overall, Yuga Labs strives to expand its cooperation network with various parties to provide more games that can attract users. Through these efforts, Yuga Labs aims to further strengthen the existence of BAYC and its ecosystem in the future.
