Q: Can you tell us about the team behind Engines of Fury? Who are the key members and what are their backgrounds?

Laura: We have a team with superb track record on both web3 launches and gaming. Currently we are just above 40 people. Well, you already introduced me, so about the rest of the team:

CEO Saulius, is in the industry since 2017 , working with Matic Network (now Polygon), with Arweave, with Noia (now Synternet), and many many others after. Helping on their marketing, branding, digital side of things.

Co-founders are the creators of DeRace - they recently rebranded to ZkRace (165x, top 20 IDO 2021, top 1 in gaming category CMC)

Team leads come from Blizzard, Activision, Ubisoft, Unity - with 10-30 years EACH of experience (i.e. David Fried, Roman Kenney, Darryl Espanola, etc).

Co Founder of Electronic Arts- we recently announced chief of the advisory board & angel investor - Jeff Burton

And also other amazing full time people working in our main office in Lithuania, as well as over 10 outsourced people across the world. So the team is big & strong - ready to deliver.

Q: Can you tell us about the team behind Engines of Fury? Who are the key members and what are their backgrounds?

Laura: Well it's definitely unique! In essence we are creating a completely new genre of a game:

We took aspects of Tarkov style of extraction shooter/survival, we took top-down RPG elements of Diablo. And made a RPG top-down extraction shooter AND on top we tokenized the in-game economy. So it has never been done yet - we are going to be the first ones. And the good thing about it is that our team leads are coming from years of experience in working on those exact games that I just referenced - so we know exactly what we are doing, and how big this is going to be.

One of the examples: UGC content - not skins on in terms of your shoe color, but user generated content in terms of creating your own missions, putting a bounty on someone's head, or turning whole guilds against each other and tons of other experimental and innovative features! Isn't that exciting?

Q: Which specific gameplay experiences or mechanics will set Engines of Fury apart from other games in its genre?

Laura: Great question! Well, another key difference about Engines of Fury is going to be the

narrative and storyline - we are actually telling a story, whereas most of these other games just throw you into the world and then you kinda grind. We are not doing that. We are really working hard to make our game FUN.

I think real players are noticing that - we already have over 90k signups for Alpha! We have been developing for more than 2 years, we put a lot of work into the game.

Q: When is the anticipated release date for the Alpha version of Engines of Fury, and how can players gain access?

Laura: Yeah, our community is super excited for Alpha so are we! We've been putting a lot of work into our Alpha version and have been testing it with top content creators and gaming partners from all over the world. The feedback we've received has been overwhelmingly positive.Of course we are continuously adjusting things based on feedback, fixing it, patching it, balancing things, polishing to deliver the best gaming experience.

But you know compared to what we are seeing out there on the market, we feel very strongly that Engines of Fury is really at a high level of polish and we will be releasing it at a major event this summer already. You can find the application form to our Alpha on our website.

Q: Who are the advisors and influencers currently supporting Engines of Fury, and what roles do they play in the project's development?

Laura: Well our team as mentioned earlier is really big and established.Really proud of our team. By the way, I think this is why we are delivering: we have covered both web2 and web3 sides to have the perfect mix of both.

Firstly, from web3: ZkRace (Derace) founders, who had great performance on their project. Dan, founder of SIDUS, Ilan from ChainGPT and many more & we also have many more left unannounced! For that you have to keep an eye on us. From the web2 side we have Jeff Burton Co Founder of Electortoric Arts and we will announce next week one advisor who is known in Hollywood.

As for influencers we are well connected with top ones, who tested our game from the very beginning, so you can now see and will see quite a lot of reviews!

Q: What upcoming partnerships are you most excited about, and how will they benefit the development and reach of Engines of Fury?

Laura: That’s another great question! Let me think.. haha we had so many wow! We just announced Immutable, we have Animoca Brands, Sidus Heroes, Star Heroes, ZkRace, and many more will be announced these coming weeks! We have a lot of exciting partnerships coming! That will benefit not only our community size haha, but most importantly our game quality and user acquisition . oh and we will have top esports guilds joining as well! how cool is that!

Q: Ensuring trust and security is crucial in the realm of finance. Have any smart contract audits been conducted to ensure the integrity of the system?

Laura: We been audited by Hacken, now we also have CertiK audit in which we were top 10 of new projects in terms of security rating. Here is the link of announcement.

Q: What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market?

Laura: Well, I think that our really strong advantage is team behind the project - devs from AAA studios, also experienced people with strong crypto background. Also I am really confident in our game, I think that it will be adopted & played by masses, cause it is really fun to play as well as great play and earn opportunities!

Q: How does the project plan to sustain long-term value for its token, and what strategies are in place to ensure a steady growth in profitability for token holders?

Laura: $FURY token has plenty of utilities inside and outside of the game.

Within the game there are tons of convenience & cosmetic purchases available that will utilize $FURY. Also, in order to have the ability to Play & Earn, players will have to have certain NFTs that they have to mint using $FURY, whereas tournaments with high prizes will be token gated. So there's tons of utility within the game ensuring constant demand pressure.

And the best thing - that all revenue from in-game revenue will be divided between going back to players through rewards schemes & token burn! That is why $FURY is deflationary.

Outside the game there are numerous $FURY staking opportunities:

- Stake for up to 24% APY here.

- Soon we will open LP Staking on PancakeSwap.

- Soon we will have a superb staking opportunity related to NFTs.

Q: The gap between traditional gamers & blockchain gamers is still so big. Many traditional players can find it difficult to play NFT games. How can your platform bridge this to attract more traditional player to your games? Do you have plan to educate about the benefit of NFT games?

Laura: 2 different target groups out there:

The gamers - the actual mass players that we -as an industry - need to onboard

And the web3 natives/web3 players - which there are not that many yet- if we are being honest right?

Well our plan to minimize this gap:

• Accessibility & exposure: Web2: major storefronts, major esports teams, esports stars, influencers playing, streaming, collaborating with us to bring trust & exposure.

• Engaging and working with community on our discord, giving closed pre-alpha’s out to OG community.
• Also working with established publishers on the UA strategy.

• Web3: web3 audience is different - quality game is anyways fundamentally important and thats the bare minimum.

• There has to be some interesting / engaging mechanics, what we are working on!

Q: Can you share Your social media link? So that we can keep ourselves updated?please tell me this question?

Laura: Okay! It is so simple, yet so important! Please follow us for major announcements here.
