Reflecting on an incredible year for Polyland Studios in 2023! 🚀
One year ago, I took on the role of Head of Partnerships at PolyLand Studios alongside Ethan Cohen, and our journey led us to becoming partners, Co-Founders & Co-CEOs, with my primary focus on the Business Gaming scope.
Exciting developments followed, with four industry leaders joining our board:
🤝 BORGET Sebastien, Founder & COO of The Sandbox
🤝 Samir Agili, former Vice President of US & LATAM of Gameloft; Chairman of Tilting Point
🤝 Hervé Larren, Senior Advisor of Horizen Labs, and a key contributor to Yuga Labs ecosystem
🤝 Frederic Chesnais, former CEO of Atari, Founder & CEO CBI - Crypto Blockchain Industries
Fast forward a few months, we successfully launched our R3V3NGE prototype, closing it six months later:
🎮 Achieved "TOP 5 Most Played Games" status on Ultra, GameSwift, Elixir Games Inc. & secured a TOP 10 spot in Japan for 3 months.
👥 +60,000 players, 500 DAU & 13,500 MAU at launch, 200k game sessions played.
📈 A $6 CPA, better than industry standards.
💰 Conducted a POC with our esteemed partner Crypto.com, selling out 350 NFT weapons in 3 hours, generating $40,000 in revenue.
🇺🇸 Launched the game during a US tour at Game Developers Conference SF & NFT.NYC.
September marked the addition of a stellar team of AAA gaming veterans to our ranks: Phil O'Connor, Aurélien P., Quentin GABRIEL, Timothy McCloud, Mike Maksim, Chase Marotz, Quyet Ha, Shelby S., Ryan Teo, Cloé Gabriel—hailing from industry giants like Warner Bros, EA, PUBG Corporation, Ubisoft, The Sandbox, Nintendo, Sony, and Gameloft.
