Sharding and other supposed scaling solutions were nowhere to be found and after quite a few public gameplay tests we were reassured that there needed to be a change from the ground up to convert our traditional players into blockchain users. Initially we were aiming to build our ecosystem on Ethereum where we quickly realized that the technology was not quite where we needed it to be. The promise of ERC-721 NFT tokens (non-fungible tokens), giving back the power to the players and the seemingly endless opportunities in games empowered by blockchain technology were just a few of the many reasons that inspired us to create our next game with blockchain in mind right from the start! Why did you decide to build on Flow? At that time the team had just finished their last major game launch on Steam and was ready to explore new projects. The first big “Aha!” moment must have been the release of Cryptokitties in 2017. What lured you into the world of blockchain? When we are not working on our games, we spend our personal time writing bad standup comedy, drawing beautiful pictures and complaining about society. After multiple public tests we gathered a strong community and aim to finally launch a Beta version of Chainmonsters later this year! While the headquarters are in Germany, the team itself is placed all over the world including the US, Europe and Asia.įor the last 2 ½ years we have been developing Chainmonsters, a cross-platform massive multiplayer online RPG inspired by Pokemon, The Legends of Zelda and World of Warcraft that is deeply connected to blockchain technology. Prior to B-Side we were split across various game studios and worked on titles including Scribblenauts, Drawn to Life, Battlestar Galactica Online, The Book of Unwritten Tales and many more.

B-Side Games is a German game studio that was established in 2017 shortly before launching our first game (Three Twenty One) on Steam that we worked on for 3 years.
