Wizardia were honored to conduct an AMA with like-minded GameFi community members last week on the Kusama Kingdom discord channel. Kusama Kingdom is an NFT project that birthed its first selection of hand-drawn NFTs — Kusama Kings — in late 2021, and maintains a vibrant community of NFT holders and investors. Kusama Kingdom intends to release more NFTs in the near future, with a focus on community building – not just profits.
We fielded questions from Kusama Kingdom’s users on the progress of Wizardia, the nature of our upcoming NFT selections, and what the future holds for the project going forward.
Read on to find out the latest about Wizardia, and how we plan to bring our game world to fruition in the coming weeks and months!
Q&A
Q: Has the team delivered a game before as a group; what specific games have individuals delivered?
A. Mantas (https://mantas.work/) – Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Unravel Two, Eve Valkyrie, Titanfall 2, Homefront: The Revolution, The Crew, Need for Speed 2015, The Division, League of Legends, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles, The Deep, Need for Speed Rivals, Titanfall, Killzone Mercenary, Call of Duty Ghosts, Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
Gediminas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gtaras/) – Monster Buster: World Invasion, Hungry Invaders, Dating Puzzle, Pocket Styler, Happy Clinic, JellyLove, Crowns and Pawns, Kakes Makes Nuotykiai, Elmenhorster “Juice empire”.
Q: Are you outsourcing any elements of the project? Or looking to grow the team?
A: Actually both. We have already hired several experienced senior-level people to make the core team stronger and less dependent on outside factors. We will be outsourcing our game production by hiring a professional production team and having our game design team and lead technical people to work with them.
Q: Are we able to see live footage in a game or a test net? If not, when will this be available?
A: We don’t have official footage yet. The good news is that we are going to release our bespoke trailer, “Battle Arena” in approximately 5–6 weeks' time. Meanwhile, the public gameplay beta version will be ready within the next quarter.
Q: In our first call we discussed the Founder’s NFTs. I think it would be good to go over these for the people on this call: when are these planning to be sold, what is the return likely to be, how many will there be, etc.
A: We have 3 Founder’s NFTs with revenue generation planned:
1. The Arena
2. The Wizardia Marketplace
3. Let’s keep this one a secret, so we still have something to surprise you with in the future :)
I can share more details about the Arena NFTs for now:
- A limited-edition with 28k total NFTs
- Pre-launch revenue of up to 50% of original investments to earliest buyers.
- Launching soon, at the end of January.
Q: 30k users are what was stated in order to get the 100% return each month on the Founder’s NFTs; how do you plan to get to 30k users.
A: 30k active players is just the beginning. Our goal is to become a leading game in the world with hundreds of thousands playing, having fun, and earning a living. We are investing significant resources and energy to build our community in the first place. We believe that community is the key to our success.
We are also very selective when it comes to investors. Every person who joins our team has to bring value to the project. We already agreed with popular launchpads for our IDO. Enjinstarter, Trust Swap, and Trustpad are already onboard. We are also currently talking to Redkite and Gamify and believe these guys will be great additions to the team as well.
We also talk to all the most popular KOLs. We have access to the most popular blogs and article publication sources.
All of this and I haven’t even started talking about heavy investment in ads and other marketing resources yet!
Q: How will the AR component work? For this to be effective in the nature of Pokemon Go you need to have a large user base in a concentrated area. How do you plan to achieve this?
A: Good question – that is one of the reasons why we pushed the AR integration to the end of our roadmap. During that time we will concentrate on community building and will start from the most active communities first to get feedback as soon as possible. We will launch AR integration within specific areas first and will expand based on that community feedback.
Q: The roadmap shows a lot of targets for Q1 – are all of these on track? If not, what have been the roadblocks?
A: We have managed to cover most of the tasks we have planned on time. The only few which were postponed were NFT sales and Arena NFT Smart Contracts, which was a strategic decision to avoid Christmas and festive periods.
Q: Has the audit started?
A: Our NFTs have not been submitted to Audit yet. We are considering Audit together with Smart Contract finalization.
Q: The community following is shown as increasing through the year with 500k by Q4 2022, what is the plan to achieve this?
A: Heavy investments into marketing and community-building events. Amazing artwork, catchy gameplay, and a great relationship with KOLs also play a big role!

Q: How are the current seed investors helping to deliver the roadmap?
A: Most of the seed round investors have already started helping with introductions to Launchpads, DEXes, and CEXes. We get a lot of valuable advice on the blockchain and tokenomics side of the project as well. Additionally, strategic marketing and community-building advice, partnerships, and introductions to a huge list of KOLs are where we think we will get the most value from our early investors.
Q: What is the capital provided in December being used for?
A: Mainly for securing the contracts with our team and hiring extra hands to speed up all the processes – marketing, development, and community building. Also to secure the game development production house contracts in order to upscale production.
As we move closer to our launch date we will conduct more AMAs with members of the DeFi and GameFi communities to keep them abreast of what we have in the pipeline.
Huge developments are coming soon. Stay tuned!
