The intern acknowledged his error. When contacted for more insight on the matter, Scott Brown, President and Lead Game Developer of Warped Universe, mentioned in his official statement that while “the leak was not ideal”, yet came with a silver lining. “For a team that has been building for the last 2 years, this was a real mood lifter, as the market reacted extremely positively to the video”. He further shared details about the in-development Web3 title.

“It’s a Sci-Fi title with multiple mission types that interconnect with one another, giving players total freedom in how they approach the game. It’s hard to classify a game that crosses so many boundaries. It’s a user-driven game. All of the players' actions cumulatively decide the fate of the Universe.” 

He continued, adding “One of the things about making a game, and especially a Sci-Fi game, is how do you stand out in someone's mind? How are you memorable? It's so easy to fall into the same trope of big grey spaceships in this black, starry background. You just start to look like every other space game that everyone's seen a thousand other times. It's so easy to just blend in with all the others, so we sat down and brainstormed over and over about what is going to make us special. What's going to make Warped stand out? What does it mean to be Warped?”

Scott shared that Warped Universe will be a community-centric game, where every token holder can have an influence, but that it wouldn’t function exactly like a DAO, telling “Token holders will influence what's going to be happening in the game. Where’s it going? What’s being added? There are a lot of games that have tokens inside the game, where you're buying the tokens which are buying cosmetics or items in the game. They’re different things. Our token is influencing the game, more than it influences the day-to-day gameplay”. He added, “I think this makes for a very cool and unique relationship between token holders and Warped Universe. We want the community to be involved in the direction of Warped Universe”.
