Myria x AB de Villiers Twitter Spaces AMA Transcript
Myria has partnered with cricket legend AB de Villiers to produce a free-to-play mobile arcade cricket game following the life and achievements of AB. In a recent Twitter Spaces AMA, AB de Villiers was joined by Myria co-founder Andrew Silber.
During the event, new details about the upcoming cricket game were revealed and even the audience joined with questions of its own. In case you missed the AMA, you can get up to speed with the full transcript below.
AB
All right. I wanted to wait a few minutes to make sure all the followers are here. Yep. Good day everyone. It’s AB here. And today I’ll be sharing some information about an innovative and very personal project that I’ve been working on for some time on the Myria platform. But I won’t be alone. I have a special guest with me today. Here with me is Myria co-founder and CTO, Andrew Silber. He speaks many languages. He has a degree in cognitive psychology. He loves playing video games, and he has developed quite a few of them. Andrew has almost three decades of experience in the video games industry and he has worked for some of the biggest studios like Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, and many more. Alrighty, so without further ado, welcome Andrew. Ah, there you are. Hi Andrew.
Andrew
Hi AB. Well, listen, thanks for having me here. We have a super lot to discuss. We’re really excited to have you building your game on the Myria platform. I’m actually, I’m bringing a lot of questions that we gathered from our Myria community to ask you, I mean, they’re super pumped about it.
AB
I’m also very excited, I must say Andrew. So let’s do it. So I’m ready to roll.
Andrew
Awesome, awesome. So before we get to all of that, why don’t you tell us something that we don’t already know about you? What are you up to right now?
AB
Well, I’m currently in India. Yesterday, I was in Bangalore. I was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team that I’ve played for 11 years in India. So it was an incredibly special event. I was there with my entire family. I’m currently in Mumbai because I’m going to be doing some commentary in the IPL discussing IPL which is very exciting for me. Something people might not know is I hardly ever played video games growing up. I’ve only got sports equipment and like tennis balls and cricket balls and golf equipment for my birthday. When I was growing up, I never really had any experience playing video games, but when I did, I really really enjoyed it. And I’m very happy to be teaming up with you guys. And yeah, we’ve got some exciting stuff coming up for all the listeners and all the video game lovers out there.
Andrew
Awesome, that sounds great. Well, why did you decide to build a game?
AB
Well, I think, because of my cricketing career, I have absolutely loved the game of this deep and very personal connection with India since I came here in 2003 for the first time. Ever since then, every time I came to India, my bond with the country itself, the culture, the people of India, and the cricket-loving fans just grew stronger and stronger. And that wall sort of broke down completely in 2011 when I joined Royal Challengers Bangalore, and my love for India and the people of India just really almost got out of hand. I just felt like it was not only for the Indian people but all the cricket lovers out there around the world, people that followed the game like me, since I was like three years old. Ever since I can remember, I watched cricket. And I had this idea of sort of putting my life out there, into a video game and all my experiences in all the cities, I traveled to some of my very special memories, special grounds. And from growing up playing in the backyard and on the streets, right to the very last game that I played for South Africa. And for all Challengers Bangalore, we have decided that I want to get that into video games and give people a different experience of my career.
Andrew
Well, that sounds just great. I mean, that’s an amazing story. So let me ask you. Why don’t you tell us what the game is about and why you chose Myria as a platform to build on?
AB
Well, there was always only one, I always wanted to work with the best. So I wanted to create a game with no barrier to entry and make it accessible for everyone to play. I want to give something back to my friends, by sharing all the significant moments in my life and letting players experience them in a fun and engaging way. My game focuses on stories or story-focused living. Rather said like that, by simply playing, gamers can get unique NFTs representing fragments of my life and my cricket journey, as well. We were able to do this thanks to Myria’s seamless gaming solution that enables NFT functionalities to be implemented at scale and accessible to the masses in the game. So it’s quite unique. But I’ve always wanted to work with Myria, and I think the partnership is going to be really good. So just on that, Andrew, maybe you can tell. Tell us a few things about Myria and what you’re building there.
Andrew
Okay, great. Well, yeah, I’m glad you asked. I’d be happy to talk about it because I certainly love to. Myria is one of the largest web3 gaming ecosystems. We have over a million registered users, we have more than 250 third-party gaming studios that are building on our platform. We have our own layer 2 wallet, we have our own NFT marketplace. And we’ve also created a dedicated software development kit, which makes it really easy for developers to bring their ideas to life onto our platform. We also have our own in-house game development studio that’s working on our own titles. And we’re building our own layer 2 blockchain solution. Our solution is cool because we offer instant transactions and zero gas fees and free NFT minting. We really feel like Myria is powering the future of NFT gaming by providing NFT solutions that are built specifically for delivering mass-market games. And so, you know, tying this ecosystem together is the MYRIA token, which is very, very close to launching. And the development team is just putting it through its paces and just finished integrating it. So that, in a nutshell, is what we’re doing. It’s kind of a mouthful, so I encourage everybody to go to our website for more details. But actually, you were talking about this before. Do you play video games now? I mean, are you what are some of the games that you play? Do you have some favorites or anything?
AB
Yeah, so as I alluded to before, I’d never really played a lot when I was growing up the odd one here and there I mean, I’m talking about the very basics, the Mario game and some very basic car racing games, but my favorites when I was growing up a little bit, it was always the Tiger Woods, games on the Xbox. But also FIFA I’m obviously a sports lover. So all the sports games have always had a special place in my heart. And then on the mobile, I played actually quite a lot of Golf Clash. And I got a lot of ideas from these games with what we’re trying to achieve. One of the very enjoyable, fun games that give the audience or the fans a little bit of insight into my life and we’ll get very personal with the home that I grew up in, some of my favorite grounds, and some other stuff. So it’s very exciting. And what about you, Andrew, which is your favorite game?
Andrew
So similar to you I have a background in the old-school stuff that probably goes way long. A very, very long time back one of my favorite games, actually that’s probably one I don’t even know if everybody remembers, was one game called Conker’s Bad Fur Day because I love platformers you know, you were mentioning Mario and I just love platformers. But recently, I’d probably say probably my bread and butter is more like Fortnight these days.
You know, just for that just sort of high-adrenaline experience. But, yeah, so actually, one thing that I want to go back to is what actually brought you to web3, like, what is it about this whole new web3 experience that you find so compelling?
AB
Yeah, I’ll keep that short and simple. I think it’s just innovation, or people always look for something bigger and better in life. I think this is the next step. There’s a lot happening. In the world out there. We’ve seen all the news headlines with regard to crypto, web3, you name it, there’s a lot happening. And I just think it’s a new age, right? And it’s very innovative and creative. And I want to be a part of that. So it’s certainly exciting times. But Andrew, you’ve been longer in web3 than me, and you can maybe explain a bit more. What excites you about this place? And you also come from a traditional gaming environment. You were working for 27 years in professional video games. So video games development, and then some of the biggest names as well. What do you think is the future of gaming?
Andrew
Yeah, actually, that’s a great question. So for me, as you said, I mean, I’ve worked for a lot of big companies, Activision, EA, and Sony, and things like that. And one of the things that really drew me to the web3 space was this notion of real ownership. And I mean a lot of people have tossed that around as sort of, you know, buzzwords and whatever. But from my perspective, it really, really is meaningful in this space, it really is one of the key applications of blockchain technology, because for the first time, now, just like when I was playing years ago, when I was playing World of Warcraft, I would play all of these different games, and I would level up my characters, or I would spend all this time mining and things like that, and I thought, why it really, it’d be awesome if I could leverage some of these things, and not just, you know, let them fizzle away, you know, in the ecosystem, or on the back end of the services, wherever it’s running. So now, it really is the future, I think, because now you can actually accumulate, you can actually gain value, can actually own your things, and you can transfer them over and you can do whatever you want with them. To me, that really is huge. And that’s why I moved over. I mean, you know, and I haven’t looked back. So, yeah, that’s why I’m excited. So actually, I still want to talk more about your game. Can you tell us, I know you’ve been working closely with the team, what stage is that? In the production? When will the fans be able to actually get their mitts on it?
AB
Yeah, because it’s so personal to me, I’ve been working really closely with the team. I’ve been a little bit busier the last couple of weeks. So I’m looking forward to catching up with them again. But as I mentioned, it’s quite personal to me, I’m going to be sharing all my experiences. And I think that people are really going to enjoy it. But this game is currently in the pre-alpha stage. We’re polishing the core mechanics and gameplay before we proceed with the full content production. We’re also planning for a close-to-alpha test in the summer. So everyone out there, please stay tuned for more details. I want everyone to try it out. And we obviously are going to need that feedback to make the game world-class.
Andrew
Great. So, they’re just talking about some of this web3 stuff. How do you feel about NFTs? Do you own any? I mean, have you jumped in at all?
AB
I have been involved for a couple of years. So it’s been very exciting. It’s a bit of an addictive thing. You know, I’ve got myself back sometimes, but it’s really important to just do your homework, do your own research. That’s what I’ve learned over the last 24 months to make sure that you don’t leave any loose ends or that you read up as much as you can about certain projects. There’s so much really, really good stuff happening there. I do believe it’s the future. There’s no doubt in my mind about that. But there are also a lot of pitfalls you got to make sure like any investment in life, whether you invest in markets or property, you’ve got to do your homework and make sure that all your ducks are in a row. It’s very exciting. I have my Metamask wallet in place on my mobile. I’ve got quite a few wallets actually to be honest with you. And it’s also important to diversify. But I’m certainly interested in the NFT game and also the crypto space and I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. I think there’s a lot of incredible stuff just around the corner.
Andrew
Yeah, I totally agree. Totally agree.
AB
Yeah, so Andrew, what do you think of blockchain games or games based on NFTs? Is the future there? Is it exciting to you as well as it is to me? And what are the trends these days?
Andrew
Yeah, well, I mean, as I mentioned earlier, I really do feel like, you know, blockchain technology really is the future of gaming, and actually vice versa. You know, this is a conversation I often have with our head of blockchain. And in terms of games and gaming, you know, the space has gone through some evolution in the last couple of years, it’s a very rapidly changing sector. And I think that one of the big lessons that we learned, you know, is this evolution from, you know, strictly play-to-earn to play-and-earn. And I think that you know, in the beginning, there were some games out there, which really proved that it was this sort of decentralized gaming and that ownership was a very valuable thing. But at the same time, the focus was more on earning and less on the gameplay. And as gamers, we really do want these games to be fun. I think that the trend has been moving from strictly play, to play-and-earn and that’s certainly something that we admit we are leaning very heavily into.
AB
Okay, that’s good.
Andrew
Yeah, we think so. So anyway, um, you, you’re, you’re such an inspiration for a lot of young athletes, you must have some sort of motto or credo or some sort of mantra, what is that?
AB
Mottos only sort of exist because of experiences in life. And in my case, in sports. So basically, I don’t have a motto, but what I’ve learned over the years, is to just stay humble, to keep your feet on the ground, to be grateful for having the opportunity, in my case, to play sports, you know, to be healthy and fit to be out there. And to inspire people through what I do. I think it’s the biggest blessing I’ve ever received in my life. It’s important for me just to keep my feet on the ground. And when there are disappointments, which are inevitable. Just be sure to get up. There’s nothing better to build character than someone who gets up off the disappointment. So that’s so in a nutshell, I would say keep your feet on the ground, and never say die. You know, there’s, there’s always a new tomorrow with opportunities. And you got to go for it and stand up and keep going. Because you’re going to break that wall down at some stage.
Andrew
Yeah, that’s right. I mean, it really is. That’s great, great advice. It obviously worked for you’ve achieved so much in your career. You’ve clearly been developing that thought process all these years. If you had to go back and give your younger self one piece of advice, is there anything in addition to all of that, that you might in retrospect, tell yourself?
AB
I think we are so tuned in to compare ourselves to certain standards or different people’s standards. And it’s crucial as a youngster growing up aspiring to be successful in whatever line you’re looking at, to just make sure you don’t compare yourself to other people, have your own standards, make sure you’re honest and genuine and true to yourself. A hard lesson I learned is not to look around me, but to look forward, to work at my own game, and to make sure that I leave no stone unturned. I know the younger generation coming through with all the social media platforms, it’s so easy these days to compare yourself to other people to try to be like someone else. But ultimately, when you just try to be yourself and you work really hard at the person that you are and what you want to achieve, you will ultimately look back and you’ll be very proud of the journey you’ve taken.
Andrew
Yeah, that’s great. That’s fantastic advice. So anyway, that’s all for me for what I have here now. AB, thank you so much for your answers. I don’t have any more questions, but I’m sure that the audience has plenty. Why don’t we sort of open it up and see what we’ve got?
AB
I’ll be happy to do that. Thanks for your time, Andrew. Appreciate it. I think we had a very nice chat.
Andrew
Yeah. Likewise, this has been great.
AB
All right. So I’ll… Shall I invite a couple of people over to ask questions? I’ll be looking at the ones who have written.
Andrew
Or as you see fit.
AB
All right. It’s always difficult to get the right personnel. I’ll try and see if we can get Jonathan. Yeah, it looks interesting if I’ve invited him I hope he’s listening. John, are you there?
Jonathan
Hey, guys. Just listening into the Twitter spaces it was great to hear, I just have a question maybe you could clarify. Something that I love so much about this game is the barrier to entry with blockchain gaming has been quite intimidating for a lot of people. And as far as I’m aware, this game won’t have that barrier to entry. It’s going to be available on the App Store and on the Play Store, and the whole blockchain element will run in the background. Is that correct? Could you just elaborate on that maybe?
AB
Yep, I can certainly do that. I think Andrew can also jump in there. But I think the point where that, Jonathan, is we want to make it accessible to everyone. You know, it must be a fun, enjoyable game, because the NFT and crypto space is quite new around the globe. I don’t think a lot of people are quite educated, as educated as we want them to be. But that will come in time. Accessibility was really crucial to us. I don’t know if you want to add anything there, Andrew.
Andrew
No, I think that that’s true and that sort of speaks to what we were discussing before. And that is, the game comes first and not some arcane need or desire to just grind for blockchain space. So yes, the plan is indeed, to have the game be as accessible as possible. And that means that one of the things that we’re trying very hard to do here is to have as smooth an on-ramp as possible. That’s going to be coming in stages as various releases of the game come out. It certainly is a goal and you should definitely stay tuned as it evolves.
Jonathan
Yeah. All right. Thanks for that.
AB
Thanks, Jonathan. All right. I’ll see if I can invite someone else here that looks like they might enjoy the gaming space. Let’s have a look, just give me one second here guys. Sorry, it’s not so easy to find the right people. Let’s have a look at Mia. I’m not sure if you can hear us, are you doing? Do you have any questions? With regards to the game for us? Mia?
Mia
Can I ask one question, sir?
AB
Yes, you may.
Mia
Sir, please. Can you sing that Canada swing? You will sing? No. Please, sir.
AB
Just repeat that sorry.
Mia
Please sing, sir.
AB
Oh, Imma sing a song?
Mia
Yes, sir.
AB
My friend, there will be some… There will be sound effects in that game. So once that game comes along, please be sure to download it. I don’t think that the sound system that I have in place here is good enough. But thanks for your time. I appreciate that. And yeah, I’ll be letting go of you for now. Thanks for joining us. Let’s see if we can find someone else. Andrew, anything from you? Do you have any requests for someone we need to invite?
Andrew
As long as it’s somebody who doesn’t ask me to sing, too. Yeah, nobody, nobody wants to be exposed to that. I imagine that there are a lot of your fans here. I think that they would just love the opportunity to ask you anything, not just about this specific game or web tech but anything you know about your career even.
AB
Happy with that ticket. I’ll invite Vinny on here. Let’s see Vinny. Do you have a question for us?
Vinny
So I don’t have any questions. But yeah. So it’s an honor to talk to you. Because yeah, I’m your biggest fan. That’s it.
AB
Thank you very much, man. Appreciate that. Very much. So no, cricketing questions, no questions about anything or advice you want.
Vinny
So yeah, I just wanted to know more about web3 and blockchain-related things. How it works and all and what about I think, what NFTs do you have? So what are your precious NFTs?
AB
Yeah, I’m quite personal about that. But I’ve got a lot involved with the Imposter space. The Mutant Ape Yacht Club, I have an M2 and quite a few others that I don’t want to go into much detail because as I said, it’s quite a personal thing which NFTs you’re into but and also the reason why I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to encourage people to invest when they haven’t done their own research and done their own homework. It’s really important to read up about it, but with regards to the game, it’s really important to follow the handle that I shared on my Twitter in the last two weeks, please go and follow that there’ll be regular updates with regard to the game and, and everything that’s happening in that space. If I’m not mistaken, I don’t have it out in front of me. But ABD 360 Cricket, the zero of the 360 is a different kind of character. So just make sure you type that incorrectly. If you’re not sure, go to my Twitter profile. You’ll see the last few tweets I’ve put out there, the handle is on the right, but thank you very much for the question, then. I’ll invite someone else now. Let’s see if it’s difficult if I can’t pronounce the name, you know. So I’m picking people as names I can pronounce at least. Okay, let’s have a look. All right, Abhishek. Let’s have a look. If you’re here Abhishek, please join us. And if you have any questions feel free to ask. Abhishek you there?
Abhishek
Yeah. Yes. I want to tell you something. I’m a huge, huge fan of yours. So why are you retiring so fast? We expect a lot from you.
AB
I know, Abishek, I’ve heard that question quite a few times. I’m really sorry to disappoint you. It’s not really an age thing. I got to a certain point in my career where I don’t know if you can almost call it a tipping point, you know, between the enjoyment of the game, the amount of traveling missing my family, the number of goals I still had to go after I felt all these things lined up for me to go. You know what, I’ve had so much fun out here. It’s time for me to move on. Thanks for that question. It was a personal decision, which I thought about for almost 18 months, it wasn’t a rushed decision. Yes, I’m a very lucky man. I’m very grateful for a very long career. I’ve had so many incredible memories. I’ve had so many incredible experiences all around the world. And I have the most amazing fan base that has really supported me over the years and made me enjoy my cricket even more than I could ever imagine. So I’ve almost owed that to everyone listening in here. All my friends around the world. Thank you very much for supporting me over the years. I’m also a fan of cricket. Now I was brought up back to being a fan so I’m very happy and following the game with a lot of interest. And I can’t wait for this year’s IPL. 2023 IPL our field is going to be great. It’s back in India. Teams will be traveling to various cities again. And I think that teams look stronger than ever. So there’s going to be a lot of entertainment out there. And I think everyone must keep their eyes on the television screens. Alright, thanks for that. The next one is Jamal Khan. Jamal if you’re ready, fire away.
Jamal there all right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Jamal is joining us today. Apologies Jamal. I’m gonna have to remove you again. But let’s have a look. Here’s Nikhil. He’s got a couple of flags on his handle. It looks like an interesting character. Let’s have a, well, let’s have a look at what you have to say, Nick. Nikhil, are you there?
Nikhil
Hey. Hi, AB. How are you?
AB
I’m very good and you?
Nikhil
Man. Well, thanks. We have got one question. You know, obviously, I’m a huge fan of yours. I’ve got a question about the game. Is this a free-to-play game? That’s my first question. The second is, will it be having collectibles of different players? I just wanted to understand more about game mechanics. If you can?
AB
Yes, yes. For both questions, you’ll be able to download it and play it straight away. Does Andrew have some more information with regard to that? I don’t want to make a mistake. But what I do know is it will be free-to-play but they will be collectible.
Andrew
Yep. All through. I didn’t fully debrief about what I’m exactly supposed to reveal. At this early stage. I don’t want to speak out of turn. However, I can say yes to both questions. And I also will say that yes free-to-play is something that we here at Myria are all very passionate about.
Nikhil
All right. Thanks.
AB
Nikhil. Nikhil I see on your profile picture there’s an M2 Ape.
Nikhil
Yes, yes. AB I was very happy to see here that you’re also a mutant so, that’s great thanks.
AB
Yeah, that’s wonderful. Thank you, Nikhil. I hope you enjoy the game once it comes out. It’s gonna be a lot of fun.
Nikhil
Yeah, absolutely. I’m looking forward to it. Thanks. Thanks, man.
AB
Have a good day. You too. Just all right. It’s a nice little chat that we had with Nikhil. Let’s have a look here. I can’t pronounce this name. But I’ve invited XVic. I think it’s what the name is. XVic, anything from you?
XVic
How are you doing? I’m just wondering what kind of blockchain you’re using to build your game on it.
AB
Yeah, Andrew, fire away. It’s all yours.
XVic
Yeah, I’m just wondering what kind of blockchain you’re using like Ethereum or Solana, or what kind of blockchain you guys are using to build your game?
Andrew
Okay, well, I mean, I probably should jump on that one. I mean, I think that I probably could shower you with the technical details, but I’ll just jump in and give it a shot. So we are an Etherium-based L2 solution using ZK roll-ups. I’m not sure whether everybody on the call is familiar with all of that technology. But what it does is it empowers some of the key points of our blockchain, which are the zero gas fees, and the instant transactions plus all of the security of being on the Ethereum blockchain, which is one of the things that are extremely important to us. We don’t want to minimize the extent to which there’s, you know, any people have concerns about, you know, hacking or theft or anything like that. Security is our primary concern, which is why we’re backing it with such reliable technologies.
XVic
Thank you very much. AB I grew up watching you. Lovely talking to you. I hope you own a couple of NFTs on XRPL. And I appreciate you giving me your time. Have a good day.
AB
Thank you, man. I am involved with the XRP space. I absolutely love it. So yes, we have something in common. And hopefully, you’ll download that game and enjoy it.
XVic
Thank you, have a good day.
AB
Cheers, man. Alright, Shirley. You’re on now if you have any questions please fire away. Shirley, can you hear us? All right. Doesn’t look like Shirley is joining us. Let’s find someone else. And we’re going to be doing one or two more people. If you want to ask a couple of questions, please sit ready. I’ll be accepting some of the requests. All right to Tajesh, I think it’s Tajesh, have any questions? Tajesh Are you there? Yeah, buddy.
Tajesh
Hey, AB. I’m a big fan of yours. Thank you.
AB
Thank you very much, man. How are you?
Tajesh
Yeah, I’m doing good. How are you, AB?
AB
All good. All good. Do you have any questions for us?
Tajesh
Yeah. What’s the unique thing about this game that might differ from other games? Like other sporting games, cricket games?
AB
Yes, I know, there’s going to be a lot of elements to it. But I know, the Myria team doesn’t want me to harp on it too much. But I think the story side of it is going to be incredible. As I mentioned before, I don’t know if you read my autobiography. But there’s a lot of storytelling in this game. So I’m going to be visiting places that I felt were incredibly pivotal and special to me during my career. And yeah, so the design and the graphics, I think are going to really be top-notch working with Myria. They have, well you should know how good they are and what they will bring to the party. I just think the visuals and the sound effects will be different from most of the other games. I think you’ll feel like you’re in a different world. There’s also going to be playing PvP, the PvP side of it, and also the story mode. It is very exciting but to me personally, obviously, the Myria team will be working on the technicals and some of the other stuff that the gaming experts enjoy out there in the world. But to me, the storytelling of it is crucial. So I’m really going to be focusing on that a lot.
Tajesh
Yeah, thank you, AB. That’s a lot. Thanks a lot. Thank you once again, yeah, one thing, will you be featured on the cover page of the game for this game?
AB
I certainly will. I would like to think so.
Tajesh
Yeah, rooting for the RCB man.
AB
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Tajesh
Can you just tell ‘E Sala Cup Namde’ for us?
AB
Oh, I can certainly say so. Just to explain to everyone that doesn’t understand it, it means the trophy is coming to RCB this year. E Sala Cup Namde!
Tajesh
Thank you very much, AB. Thanks a lot.
AB
Thank you. It’s a pleasure. Thanks. Have a good day. All right, everyone. Enjoying the space? Let me just get him off there for a second. Otherwise, we’re going to be talking at the same time. All right, and I’ll say I’ll be taking one more question. I think we’ve covered quite a bit. I think you guys get an understanding of where we’re at with this game. It is a dream come true for me. Never in my wildest dreams growing up, thought I was going to bring out a game. Hopefully, everyone out there will be enjoying it and joining in on the fun. And I’m looking forward to getting feedback on the game and how people are enjoying it. There we go. All right. Let’s give him five seconds and see if he gets on. I didn’t get a name there. But if he can hear me please ask a question.
Vikas
Hello. Hi, AB.
AB
All right. This is AB. Please ask a question if you have anything.
Vikas
I don’t speak English. I am Indian.
AB
Okay, okay. Okay, but that’s fine. Thanks for joining us anyway. If you do understand what I’m saying. Just keep an eye out for that game.
Vikas
You can play IPL
AB
Yes, not anymore, but I am yet. Alright, thanks. Because Okay, guys, wait, hold on. Yeah, I see someone she’s called Vessels. Let’s see if we can add Vessels to the chat. We’ll wait for a second or two to see if she gets connected. And then we’ll finish off pretty soon. Hi there, Vessels! So we can hear you, you can fire away with a question. If you have something to ask anything about cricket or live for the game?
Vessels
AB, how are you?
AB
I’m very good. Thank you.
Vessels
Well, it’s very interesting that you bring out a game. We’re looking very much forward to it. I want to know, this game. Do you play against players or is it just a game in that you go through levels?
AB
Yeah, that’s a good question. It’s going to be a bit of both. I did touch on it earlier. There will be a PvP mode and also a story mode. As I alluded to before, some of the other games that I enjoyed in the past were something like Golf Clash and The Tiger Woods game, but particularly Golf Clash I really enjoyed because of that element. There’s a bit of a story to it. You’re jumping through levels, but you’re also very competitive against other players. So that is always the fun part. But thanks Vessels for that good question. Anything else from your side?
Vessels
No, that’s basically it AB, and congratulations and yeah, we’re looking very much forward to the game. Enjoy.
AB
Thank you very much, have a good day. Goodbye. Bye. Alright, everyone, I think that brings us to an end, Andrew, if you are still there, I think it’s time for us to sign off. Hope everyone enjoyed the spaces. Keep an eye out for this game, I can guarantee you it’s going to be incredibly entertaining, and you will enjoy every second of it. And also follow that handle that I tweeted about it @ABD360Cricket. If I’m not 100%, right, please go to my Twitter profile and look at the tweets I posted about my partnership with Myria. Myria’s token launch is also around the corner, which is very, very exciting. And keep an eye out for all these exciting things happening. If you’re not educated with regards to blockchain NFT space crypto space, please do your research. Read about it. There are plenty of articles out there and be responsible. It is like any other investment. A tricky space and you need to be educated before you jump in. But keep an eye out for my game. I absolutely can’t wait. I’m partnered up with Myria — the best out there. I’m in good hands and hopefully, I’ll bring my way to the party as well and deliver a really good storytelling game. For everyone out there to enjoy. Andrew, final thoughts. Not sure Andrew is still with us. Let me just double-check. Yeah, I think Andrew has left us. Okay. That brings us to an end then. Thank you very much, Andrew, for joining us earlier. Thanks to all the listeners, and all the fans out there. I had an absolutely fantastic time out there in Bangalore yesterday at the Chinnaswamy. It was a packed stadium. Everyone was out there to wave goodbye to myself and Chris Gayle. Our jerseys were retired numbers 17 and 333, you won’t see anymore in the RCB colors. But it was a very special occasion. So thanks to Virat, the RCB team, the people from Bangalore, and all the Indian fans out there around India and also the world that have supported me throughout my career. Thank you very much, so keep an eye out there for the game coming soon. We’re still working on it. But you’ll hear from us soon. Thank you very much, everyone, the 360 Cricket AMA is done for now. Have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Until next time.
