结合 UGC 玩法,PuffGo 能否成为 Web3 游戏领域的一颗璀璨新星,我们不妨共同期待。

 

撰文:Karen,Foresight News

 

2023 年年末,伴随着腾讯《元梦之星》的高调上线,早已开启的派对游戏(Party Game)竞争变得愈加激烈。与此同时,派对游戏鼻祖《糖豆人》、网易《蛋仔派对》等现象级游戏持续稳健发展,进一步印证了派对游戏的火热已是必然趋势。

 

派对游戏主打「众乐乐」合家欢理念、解压和 Social,支持多人竞技、对抗和合作,因为玩法多样和淡化胜负观念,深受玩家的喜欢。

 

数据无疑是最能反映市场趋势和活力的风向标。2023 年年末,《元梦之星》在上线后随即登顶 iOS 游戏免费榜第一,并持续霸榜,目前仍稳居榜单前列。根据点点数据,截止撰稿时,自 12 月中旬上线以来,《元梦之星》在 App Store 的下载量超过 660 万次,收入预估接近 1.4 亿元,而这还未将安卓端数据涵盖在内。在同一时间区间内,具备先发优势的《蛋仔派对》与《元梦之星》下载量不相上下,收入预估为 1.12 亿元。值得一提的是,上个月,《蛋仔派对》宣布在上线 560 天后坐拥 5 亿玩家。

 

那派对游戏能否在 Web3 游戏中占据一席之地?笔者认为完全可以,且游戏和社交是最容易驱动 Web3 大规模采用的领域,而派对游戏完美地融合了这两点。试想一下,你在游戏中可以获得皮肤等资产的完全所有权,并且可以进行交易、租赁等操作,创作者、玩家也都能够赚取实打实的激励和奖励,这对于 Web2 玩家来说是非常新颖和前所未有的。更为重要的是,如果 Web3 派对游戏的角色支持蓝筹 NFT 或者域名等身份,这将进一步增强游戏的社交属性和价值。

 

Foresight News 今天要介绍的是一款有众多优质合作方加持的 Web3 派对游戏 PuffGo。PuffGo 正在通过一系列策略和措施,构建一个充满活力、共创和可持续的平台模型。

 

PuffGo 是什么?

 

PuffGo 是由 Puffverse 推出一款充满创意的派对游戏,集休闲、竞技和区块链于一体,并采用了独特的 Skill to Earn 模式,让玩家可以通过游戏获得链上资产奖励。PuffGo 游戏内含丰富的关卡主题和玩法,为玩家提供了多样化的对局模式选择,并注重游戏趣味性、挑战性以及 Web3 用户最为关注的激励经济。

 

PuffGo 对 Foresight News 表示,其创始团队包括原小米团队成员,并在项目初期与小米建立并保持了合作关系。这一合作无疑可为 PuffGo 注入强大的技术支持和资源网络,使其在游戏开发和运营上具备了更多优势,并有望吸引大批忠实玩家。或许,正如 PuffGo 表示,PuffGo 希望在小米生态为用户带来更加开放、自由的 Web3 体验。

 

在 PuffGo 公开的合作名单中,除小米外还有头部互动娱乐创作平台 YAHAHA、蔚领时代、游戏引擎 Unity、BNB Chain 等合作伙伴。这些合作伙伴在各自领域内都具有领先的技术实力和基础设施,可为 PuffGo 提供元宇宙引擎、游戏引擎、3D 交互体验等方面的支持。此外,Puffverse 还在 2022 年 10 月份获得来自 BNB Chain Builder Grant 的赠款。

 

PuffGo 游戏玩法

 

就游戏玩法而言,PuffGo 游戏内含丰富的关卡主题和玩法,为玩家提供了多样化的对局模式选择。

 

PuffGo 的关卡设定考虑了玩家是否拥有 NFT 角色资产的因素。对于没有 NFT 角色的玩家,可以体验休闲模式、剧情模式和淘汰模式的初中级关卡,获胜者可获得游戏道具和游戏内的金币。而拥有 NFT 角色的玩家可以在此基础上体验淘汰模式的高级关卡。在这些高级关卡中,玩家可获得链上资产奖励。

 

在 PuffGo 的世界里,玩家可以收集各种独特角色,每个角色都有独特的形象、性格和技能,也可以根据自己的喜好,为角色更换不同的装扮,让角色更具个性。此外,玩家能够使用多样的角色技能和策略来互相竞争,以获得更高的名次及更好的资源奖励。

 

值得强调的是,PuffGo 针对的用户群体不仅限于 Web3 用户,也同样重视引入 Web2 玩家,以覆盖更广泛的用户基础,为 PuffGo 带来更加多元化的市场机会和增长潜力。此外,PuffGo 还会将一部分 Web2 收入用来回购代币,作为价值依托。

 

经笔者体验,除因 VPN 导致的连接延迟以及匹配时间略微迟缓之外,PuffGo 游戏体验比较顺畅,画面精美,还有着不输大制作游戏的手感,而且时不时还能够获得奖励,还是比较容易上头的。

 

PuffGo 经济模型

 

对于 Web3 游戏来说,在游戏设定和机制之外,经济模型至关重要。根据官方文档,在 Puffverse 生态中,有 PUFF 和 vePUFF 两种代币,其中,PUFF 用作支付场景,如 Passcard、PuffGo Passes、PuffLand 土地资源等,而 vePUFF 则是产出。

 

此外,vePUFF 作为治理代币,拥有投票权利,可以通过质押 PUFF 获得(以一定比例),也可以通过游戏奖励赚取。vePUFF 不可转让,不过可以兑换成 PUFF,还可以分享游戏内分红等权益,包括一定比例的 PuffTown 应用代币兑换交易费用、NFT 市场交易费用以及 Pass 销售收入等。

 

如下图所示,Puffverse 还设计了产出、质押、销毁、回购的闭环经济模型,以此确保 Puffverse 的长期可持续性发展。

 

 

剑指未来,PuffGo 即将上线 UGC 玩法

 

在这个内容为王的时代,游戏行业也正在推动游戏内容共创,进入了玩家创作时代。

 

在《元梦之星》上线之时,腾讯官方宣布首期将投入 14 亿元生态激励基金,其中多达 10 亿元将用作对 UGC(用户生成内容)地图创作者的全方位扶持。此外,《蛋仔派对》在 2023 年 8 月的游戏内 UGC 地图数量也已经突破 1 亿。

 

可以看出,对于派对游戏而言,源源不断的 UGC 地图能筑起游戏多元体验,维持足够长久的游戏生命力。

 

鉴于此,PuffGo 即将于本月末上线 UGC 玩法,玩家可以自己制作游戏关卡,并同时挑战其他用户发布的自制关卡,从而为更多玩法的诞生创造可能性,同时提供更高的互动属性和提升用户粘度。PuffGo 中的 UGC 功能后续会加入 PuffLand,并衍生出更多玩法。

 

而与 UGC 功能相得益彰的,是一款高效便捷、低门槛的地图制作工具。PuffGo 会在 2024 年末于 PuffLand 中加入 AIGC 模式,支持通过输入指令,来创建自己的关卡。

 

PuffGo 如何确保可持续发展?

 

谈及 PuffGo 的可持续发展规划,就不得不展开 Puffverse 产品矩阵,除 PuffGo 之外,Puffverse 产品还包括:

 

一、资产控制面板 PuffTown:内置 Puff NFT 市场,显示游戏内和链上数据,跟踪您的游戏记录。值得一提的是,PuffTown 支持利用电子邮箱地址直接创建 MPC(多方计算)钱包地址,这种无私钥、无助记词的体验是无缝导入 Web2 用户的关键。

二、PuffWorld:允许用户沉浸在 3D 元宇宙中,充当游戏玩家之间的社交桥梁。PuffWorld 当前在一个频道内最多可容纳 40 名冒险家,计划允许超过 1 万名玩家同时加入一个频道,万人同屏部分正在和蔚领时代合作推进。

三、PuffLand:是一个结合 AIGC 和 UGC 的便捷创作者工具。

 

根据 Puffverse 路线图,本季度 PuffGo 将推出创作者计划,并在第二季度开启代币积分 IGO 活动,让用户参与并且获得初始发行代币的积分,代币启动预计在三季度。


 

从 PuffGo 产品、路线图以及前述经济模型,我们可以看出 PuffGo 正在通过实打实的激励计划赋能创作者,这有助于激发创作者的积极性和创造力,从而产生更多高质量的游戏内容和实现真正的百花齐放。此外,利用 UGC 玩法和 AIGC 工具,PuffGo 能够帮助创作者更高效便捷地贡献游戏内容,激发游戏内容的量变和质变,从而维系游戏共创生态。

 

另外,PuffGo 希望通过 PUFF 实现质押、销毁、回购的闭环经济模型,以及用治理代币 vePUFF 分红平台收益和给予治理权。同时,结合 PuffWorld 的社交和沟通桥梁,玩家结识兴趣相投的朋友,发现、分享和参与游戏相关内容,加深联系和互动,进一步促进生态系统的活力和多元化,以及实现滚雪球社交效应。

 

PuffGo 游戏背景

 

精心设计的故事背景和人物设计也是一款游戏的关键元素,在剧情的开展过程中扮演着举足轻重的作用。在 Puffverse 中,这是一个主要关于公主、小恐龙帕蒂(Patty)和 B 先生的故事。几百年前魔力耗尽后,怪物们变得温和,并在魔王的领导下建立了繁荣而和平的王国。

 

然而,魔王突然消失,魔王城被 Moru 邪恶团伙入侵,而他们的目标就是公主和魔王的皇冠。公主以及救出公主的帕蒂(Patty)在逃离城堡的过程中,意外地发现皇冠被小鱼儿 Pop 摔碎成无数魔法碎片,这些碎片在全球形成「魔法场」。为了夺回城堡,他们开始踏上收集魔法碎片的旅程,而一位动机未知的 B 先生也紧随其后。魔王的失踪、魔力的耗尽、王冠的魔力,诸多谜团等待揭晓,公主一行能揭开这些谜团并清除一切阻碍吗?

 

除软萌可爱的 Patty 和小鱼儿 Pop 之外,Puffverse 中的人物角色还包括正义感十足的 Claude 以及追光者 Bill Duck。

 

小结

 

综上,PuffGo 正在通过一系列策略和措施,构建一个充满活力、共创和可持续的平台模型。平台、创作者、玩家以及代币持有者,环环相扣,在 PuffGo 的生态系统中各自扮演着独特的角色,将共同促进游戏的良性循环发展。这种共创共赢的机制将成为 PuffGo 的核心优势之一。

 

现实世界觥筹交错、熙来攘往之余,PuffGo 这场汇聚万千创意的 UGC 玩法,将带来怎样的游戏视觉盛宴?PuffGo 能否成为 Web3 游戏领域的一颗璀璨新星,我们不妨共同期待。

Two Legends Lost in Three Days: Is Google's AI Talent Dam Cracking?

In three days, Google lost two AI legends. On June 18, Noam Shazeer, co-author of the seminal "Attention is All You Need" paper and Gemini co-lead, left for OpenAI. Just 48 hours later, John Jumper, 2024 Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead, departed DeepMind for Anthropic. This follows Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic in May. These moves highlight a structural trend: top AI talent is concentrating at mission-driven, pre-IPO firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, while Google becomes a primary source. The exodus stems from a core mission mismatch. Google's ad-centric model often subordinates AI research to product and revenue goals, creating friction for pioneers like Shazeer, who returned in 2024 only to leave again. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic offer singular focus on pushing AI boundaries, whether towards AGI or safety-aligned models, which deeply appeals to top researchers like Jumper. Financial incentives amplify the pull. With both OpenAI and Anthropic nearing IPO, employees stand to gain immensely from equity, an upside Google's mature stock cannot match. Furthermore, the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, intended to consolidate strength, has instead created cultural tension and slowed the path from research to product, as evidenced by Gemini's pace. This talent redistribution is reshaping the AI landscape. While Google retains vast data and compute resources, its true crisis is the quiet, continuous loss of the people who define the field's future. The real moat in AI is not infrastructure, but the concentration of brilliant minds—a battle Google is currently losing.

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'

Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps. His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension. Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces. Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious. First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users. The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds. When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users. The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound. Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale

In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted. The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly. The framework for success involves: 1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe). 2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement. 3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds. 4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction. 5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially. 6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear. The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.
