GamerXGamer, the best place for insight into the world of Web3 Gaming.
This edition of our newsletter presents a unique interview with Crossroads Myth, where we explore the unseen perspectives and hidden narratives behind its creation. It's an introspective journey into a world where games breathe and speak
Crossroads Myth is a browser-based, fully on-chain RPG set in the fantasy world of Mythenia.
Players can obtain unique Lands that produce resources. These resources can be strategically invested in various ways, such as through research, upgrades, or acquiring units and items. By grouping units into squads, players can then dispatch them on interactive and immersive quests to search for treasure, hunt monsters, and delve into the lore of Mythenia.
I sat down with the founders of this exciting new look RPG and asked a couple of questions. Let us dive into this groundbreaking conversation!
SOS: What inspired the creation of this game?
CROSS: We drew inspiration from the classic games we grew up with — those that offered deep, complex worlds and stories that players could lose themselves in for hours. We wanted to recapture that magic, that sense of adventure and discovery, and enhance it with blockchain's unique capabilities.
By blending familiar gaming concepts with innovative blockchain features and adding our unique gameplay style to it, we aim to forge an immersive and dynamic world in Crossroads: Myth, one that promises both new and seasoned gamers an adventure that evolves alongside its community.
By providing direct ownership of in-game items and characters, players are not just able to progress through the game but also receive a direct impact and reward from the game’s performance over time via value accrual from their gameplay experience, skills and strategy.
SOS: Can you explain the core gameplay mechanics?
CROSS: Taking place in the fantasy world of Mythenia, players will find themselves discovering a world where elves, humans, and dwarves coexist with other races, beings, and creatures.
Our gameplay will be browser-based and will include a blend of traditional strategy, role-playing and resource-management elements.

We also focus heavily on multiplayer activities and how we can encourage players to have fun together as a group. Players can venture together on group quests with multiple squads or form guilds with other like-minded players and unlock guild-only perks and activities such as dungeon raids and PvP.
Another aspect of the game we’re encouraging is exploration, in its most intrinsic sense.
SOS: How is the game being funded?
CROSS: The game is currently self-funded alongside a small grant from Tezos Asia Pacific (@TzApac), an entity supported by the Tezos Foundation (@TezosFoundation).
