Frank:Foonie Magus was established in 2021, coinciding with the start of pre-production for Apeiron.

Their expertise is invaluable, but what truly unites us is our shared vision to create something new.

I, on the other hand, am the outlier in terms of game development experience.

Frank Cheng, CEO of Foonie Magus

It took me eight years to fully appreciate the challenges and dedication that go into game development.

We were fascinated by its rise, its tokenized incentives, and the concept of entrepreneurial digital ownership.

We recognized blockchain gaming as an avenue to level the playing field for indie developers against the big boys.

We deep-dived into Axie for half a year, and we emerged with an even more ambitious Apeiron!

Playing the game not only allows you to understand its intricacies but also provides rewards.

We have two token launches approaching, and playing the game is the best way to participate.

For those who prefer a less competitive experience, a PvE dungeon will be available soon.

The path you choose to follow on your journey inApeironis entirely up to you.

Frank:The gaming industry is fiercely competitive, with approximately 5,000 games currently in the web3 space.

Each month sees the release of another 5,000 games, making differentiation a necessity for us.

We recognized that competing in traditional genres dominated by AAA titles was not feasible.

I began my quest to rediscover the essence of my earlier gaming days.

This nostalgia sparked the initial idea for our game.

For us, accessibility and monetization are crucial.

Therefore, we chose to develop for mobile platforms and incorporate game systems that enhance excitement and social interaction.

Thus, the card-based action RTS battle system ofApeironwas born.

To ensure longevity and sustainability, we knewApeironneeded to transcend from a game to a franchise.

However, the traditional mobile free-to-play model was inadequate for our grand vision.

The typical game dev-publisher model would also fall short of funding such an ambitious project.

We were missing a crucial piece of the puzzle until we discovered Axie.

Frank:Apeironis free to play, allowing anyone to dive into the game without any prior experience.

Currently, all players can earn in-game currency.

These relics are more accessible in terms of price and can be minted from the game itself.

By owning Apostle NFTs, players can already start earning $ANIMA as they play.

As players become more invested, they can purchase or rent Planets to enhance their gameplay and competitiveness.

By understanding breeding mechanics and investing tokens and time, players can establish their own entrepreneurial ventures withinApeiron.

Lastly, Stars represent the land inApeiron.

Our game offers a challenging experience, even for seasoned gamers.
