So as we are!
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
We will start
with an introduction
Can you
please introduce yourself to us, your role in metaEngine and how you got into
crypto?
Alex
Shalash
Hi, my name is Alex Shalash – the co-founder and CEO of the metaEngine.
Got into
crypto originally after watching Max Keiser show some 10 years ago, but was
more passive until last year, when we launched metaEngine
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
For how long
have you been building metaEngine?
Alex
Shalash
We saw so
many new GameFi / Metaverse projects coming to the market.
metaEngine is
a new “fork” of HeroEngine platform that i have been involved in
since 2009
metaEngine is
integrating lots of the underlying MMO tech with blockchain
so, we have
been building the game infra since 2001, with blockchain – since Oct 2021
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Impressive
2009 to 2021 is about 12 years
Pavel
P
What a great
experience!
Alex
Shalash
thx
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Awesome
How many
people do you have working on this project?
Alex
Shalash
The team
growing as we speak, at present we are 25
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Are they all
in same region?
Alex
Shalash
That’s game
engine engineers, blockchain engineers, game devs, etc.
we are spread
around the world, waking up in Singapore, India, Ukraine, Switzerland, France,
UK and USA
same as our
developers we work in the cloud
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Impressive
spread
Pavel
P
Impressive!
Great team to build the best product!
Alex
Shalash
we are doing
our best
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
So Alex, what
is metaEngine really all about?
Alex
Shalash
metaEngine is
a fully integrated metaverse development and publishing platform. With its own
game engine, networking, servers, blockchain integration and publishing –
end-to-end solution. If you are building or planning to build a metaverse-like
game / open world – metaEngine is the only choice on the market today.
In addition,
our underlying technology supports massive multiplayer online capabilities out
of the box, this means millions of players can access your games without the
need to develop and integrate networking and server technologies by yourself.
Pavel
P
So, we can
consider it as a Metaverse HUB for games
Alex
Shalash
mainly for
development at first, publishing later
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
I see that
there are quite a lot of exciting things to dig out about metaEngine
Alex
Shalash
let’s do it
Pavel
P
I see.
Indeed, it can some difficulties the game owners have at early stages
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
We will
proceed to our community questions then
Pavel

Q1 from Telegram user @MudaraSilva
You have promised to level up the gaming experience with the most advanced game engine in the world. As a gamer on plenty of platforms, I am interested to know how does metaENGINE change the gaming experience. What is the technology behind metaENGINE? What kind of changes can we experience? The introductory phrase also says you are the “Future of GameFi”. Can you elaborate more on this statement? How do you contribute to the future of GameFi with advanced technologies? Have you done any research on existing GameFi platforms and did you identify any drawbacks of them? If yes, please explain what are your solutions to fix them.
Alex
Shalash
tech choices
will determine the types of game one builds
Great and a
very long question
Owing to its
fully-integrated nature, metaEngine is capable of delivering MMO scalability
out of the box. The core tech behind metaEngine is HeroEngine – MMO game dev
platform used in games like SWOTR and TESO. metaEngine expands that
functionality to include blockchain features and asset interoperability.
metaEngine
brings to GameFi MMO scalability, planet-scale environments and real time
development. Our mission is to remove obstacles in game development, decrease
technology integration risks, and let devs focus on entertainment.
Current platforms
are limited in scale, and do not provide the level of entertainment to keep
players engaged. High level of financialization is actually keeping traditional
players away from many of the early GameFi games.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Btw asides
the tech side of things do you still have connections with HeroEngine?
Alex
Shalash
yes, i am
still the Chairman of the Board of Directors at HeroEngine.
and we have
an ongoing collaboration between metaEngine and HeroEngine
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Oh, great
that means it’s being run in parallel
Alex
Shalash
yes, but with
a different focus
on large
scale simulations
Pavel
P
Do you plan
to implement any innovations from metaEngine to HeroEngine?
Alex
Shalash
yes, the
underlying game dev tech infra development is share across both
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Talking about
high level of financialization, how does metaEngine solve this?
Alex
Shalash
we remove the
tech obstacles in game dev process, that way devs can build great engaging
experiences. We are not the ones with the ideas for games – there are millions
of games devs around the world. We provide the tech and infra to make it happen
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Thank you for
your Answers Alex
Ready for the
next question now?
Alex
Shalash
sure
Pavel
P
Q2 from Telegram user @Neilselin
MetaEngine is a first-of-its-kind cloud-based platform for developing blockchain games, where developers can find all the advanced tools necessary to build and launch the most immersive game possible in the metaverse. Can you elaborate on the metaENGINE multi-chain infrastructure and how it enables frictionless decentralized network system that outperforms any traditional game engine? Can you give us some highlights of the tools that metaEngine will provide for developers to build and launch there games?
Alex
Shalash
We at
metaEngine can’t force game devs to use any specific blockchain for their
GameFi / Metaverse projects.
By
integrating support for Polygon, other EVMs, Solana and others, we aim to offer
the multi-chain infrastructure to devs out of the box, so they don’t have to
spend time and money doing it themselves.
metaEngine is
unique in providing a cloud-based multi-developer environment. This allows
multi-disciplinary teams from anywhere in the world to collaborate 24/7 and
developer games faster.
From the
first days of development, the projects are massive multiplayer online
Marketplace,
integrated wallets, etc. are just a subset of tools
that we will
offer to metaverse builders
Pavel
P
That’s quite
a lot, I should say
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Do you
already have Devs who are building with your tools?
Alex
Shalash
We have an
advantage of almost two decades of game infra experience
yes, we do
have devs that have started building on metaEngine, but it’s early days, as we
started marketing the platform in March. Many more devs will join in the coming
weeks / months.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Thank you for
your answers
Pavel
P
As the market
goes green, you will definitely have them
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Do you want
to add anything to this or should we proceed?
Alex
Shalash
the
marketplace is planned to go live in the next two months.
let’s go
Pavel
P
Q3 from Telegram user @Meta_MateX
In one of your recent interviews it was mentioned that players can produce any game item – weapons, avatars, lands and then use it on multiple games through metaEngine. Could you go a little deep here and explain how does it really work on metaEngine. What are the games already covered by this possibility? Please also cover the prices as it should be important for the community. Thanks!
Alex
Shalash
This is the
holy grail of Metaverse dev.
Let’s break
it down.
Owing to the
underlying MMO nature of our platform, we enable Asset Interoperability for
games built on our platform. Players will be able to enter their 3D house /
hanger where they can see all of their belongings, choose the character,
weapons, skins, pets, etc. and enter into any of the games that have chosen to
enable those assets within their gameplay.
Our infra is
unique in these capabilities, as other game engines are made primarily for
single player experiences, or limited multiplayer (up to 100)
The
underlying tech is already there, but games taking advantage of these features
will be coming in the future.
We are going
to charge 10% royalties on the revenues generated by games on our platform.
These royalties will go to cover our engineering, infrastructure and other
costs associated with the management of the platform.
for
comparison, Steam charges 30%
and they
don’t offer any infrastructure
Pavel
P
That’s what
we call a customer based approach
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
This makes
metaEngine better
Alongside the
assets interoperability, will the developers also be able to build across
multiple chains?
Alex
Shalash
the chains
connections will be built into the Digital Asset Hub, the engine will provide
their 3D representations and transactions API.
So, if you
acquired NFTs and hold them in wallets on different chains
you will be
able to see their 3D representation in your house / hanger and use them in
games.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Thank you for
clarifying this
Ready for the
next question?

Shalash

Q4 from Telegram User @Rozielyna
Strategic Partnership and investments are key to improving the credibility and success of a Project and its products. Can you tell us who are your partners? Are you currently working on any partnership? What are some of the positive impacts and advancements of these partnerships and investors on your project so far? What are the benefits your investors and Partners will enjoy as being part of your project ? How do you strategize to Attract more investors to MetaENGINE as the project advances and make them stay for a Long-term?
Alex
Shalash
This
industry’s success is built on partnerships, especially for an infra project
like ours.
We are
already working with a number of partners and have a dedicated team to expand
the number of those. The key partnerships at present are focusing around
platform development, such as Polygon, Solana, and many others. In addition, we
are partnering up with Metaverse developers to provide our platform and support
in developing their experiences. The third group of partners are content
developers, who are eager to join our Digital Asset Hub and become part of the
future games.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Do you have
specific names of partners already?
Alex
Shalash
Can’t
announce yet the games, you will see those announced in the coming weeks.
We are
preparing joint communications
Jonah

Q5 From Telegram User @Icevermithraxx
Like Most Platforms, metaENGINE allow game developers to govern, monitor and operate the metaENGINE community through a DAO. What are the requirements for users(game Developers) to join metaENGINE DAO and participate in decision making of the community? I also noted that metaENGINE takes Royalties from games published on it’s platform. What percentage of Royalties does metaENGINE attached to Games developed on its Platform? Is the percentage of Royalty negotiable? Are these Royalties for a particular period of time?
Alex
Shalash
There are two
separate DAO types we should differentiate here.
metaEngine
DAO – where our token holders will participate in the governance of the
platform.
And GameFi /
Metaverse DAOs that game devs are going to create for their own projects.
The Royalties
are set at 10% of the total revenues and are going to cover our engineering,
infrastructure and other costs associated with the management of the platform.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
And how do
users participate in the metaEngine DAO?
Alex
Shalash
Following our
TGE
which for now
as you understand is on hold due to the market conditions.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
Oh okay, well
understood.
Thank you

my fingers are hurting already
Pavel
P
Q6 from Telegram User @Ask4unik
Security is one key reason why some developers refrains from publishing their game in certain engine, considering the fact that hackers can gain access to private keys to forge fake withdrawals leading to huge losses.With this in mind,what measures or tools will MetaEngine employ to make it impossible for hackers to penetrate? Which security company/companies Will you be working with? Why should we trust your project? Kindly give us more information.Thanks
Alex
Shalash
On the
security front, we are working closely with our partners such as Polygon to
make sure our platform is secure. We are not planning to take custody of NFTs
or other digital assets, and will use industry partners expertise to offer
those services.
Jonah
🏅🎹 | Satoshi Club
They better
not Hurt expecially with the second part coming up
Alex
Shalash

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community
Q1 from Telegram user @Ms_Ross_saini
In the real time game development i have read that we can also change in the live game like the real metaverse Do so, could you tell us that what real changes we can change in the game ?
Alex Shalash
Using our real time dev, you can change, update or add new content while your players are already in the game. This way you can expand your metaverse from a smaller mini experience to a large open world.
Q2 from Telegram user @mucana
Does MetaEngine have any advantages over its two biggest competitors in the game engine space, the Unreal engine and Unity? If so, what are they?
Alex Shalash
unique features are:
– massive multiplayer online,
– fully integrated development environment,
– real-time multi-developer environment,
– integrated multi-chain support. NFTs created on different chains, could be brought into metaEngine and used across multiple games – real asset interoperability.
Our engine is cloud-based , this means that distributed teams from anywhere in the world can collaborate on the development of their 3D games
These are the core differentiating features
Q3 from Telegram user @Amalia_233
May I know How Your ASSET STORE Will Be Different From other TRADITIONAL GAMES and What are your Main Features due to Which Many People will Join the Platform ?
Alex Shalash
Using our Asset store, devs will be able to pull the digital assets into their games, and players will be able to trade those assets and see that ownership change in all the games that are using those assets. It’s a dynamic connection, unlike with other engines it’s baked in.
Q4 from Telegram user @KhaleesiKhalee
What are the Most desired features that you will bring to the GameFi World to Reality?
Alex Shalash
massive scale for environment and players
Q5 from Telegram user @munnabhaiya11
The platform takes complete care of the integrations that any developer would require while developing a world-class game, reducing your cost .How are you reducing the cost and how much cost do you reduce for any developer?
Alex Shalash
costs are reduced in many ways: no need to hire your own server, network, database, blockchain engineers – we have done all that work already. Devs can save millions during the lifecycle of the game.
Q6 from Telegram user @hectordonovans
Can you tell us about the relationship between Web 3.0 and Metaverse and the differences between them? Could you tell us about metaEngine’s tasks and complementarity between Web3.0 and Metaverse?
Alex Shalash
Metaverse is utilizing Web3, but not Web3 by itself.
Q7 from Telegram user @Madan94495721
Some gaming engine requires some set of skill to operate, create & build games upon. What set of skills will a game developer required to have in order to develop game on metaEngine?
Alex Shalash
any game developer or creator can learn to develop on game engines, just need to dedicate time and passion.
Q8 from Telegram user @Lestmarisv13
GameFi is poised to take over a huge chunk of the gaming industry worldwide, and connecting GameFi with SocialFi can give both platforms the boost in engagement they need to become truly ubiquitous. What will be the influence and impact of MetaEngine in all this?
