Q & A with Dante Games 👇

Could you introduce yourself by sharing your name, prior experience, and current role within your company? Additionally, please briefly explain your company's mission and what it offers to its customers.

I’m Maximiliano Stochyk, CMO at Dante Games. I’ve been immersed in the crypto space since 2014 and bring over 15 years of experience in marketing and B2B/B2C growth. At Dante Games, we’re creating a robust gaming ecosystem, with our first game, Hellmaster, already in closed alpha and gearing up for an open beta launch soon.

How has your company grown and changed since its inception, and what do you have planned for its future?

It all started as a personal passion project by our founders, Sergio and Leon, who dedicated themselves to nurturing the original concept they envisioned. However, as they began to realize the potential of what they were creating, they decided to aim higher and develop something far more ambitious.

What started as an idea for a single game quickly evolved into the development of an entire interconnected gaming ecosystem.

Our games are designed to be free-to-play, with seasonal content and guaranteed rewards, all while ensuring they remain fun and competitive for players.

What inspired you to develop Dante Games, and how did you conceive?

Dante Games emerged from a blend of deep aspirations and expertise. Our team, with years of experience in publishing video games across platforms like PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox, and PC, harbored a strong desire to explore the world of blockchain. As passionate enthusiasts of history and mythology, we sought to create a cohesive narrative for our games, drawing inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy to craft a universe rich in myths and legends.

Can you provide insight into Dante Games’s progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?

We’ve made significant progress at Dante Games, launching our first game, Hellmaster, in Alpha after two years of dedicated development. We’ve also secured strategic partnerships, including a strong collaboration with Immutable, positioning us to reach over 2 million players. We’re in discussions for additional collaborations with key industry players to further expand our ecosystem.

How does your company utilize Quicknode, and what benefits does it bring to your business operations?

We use Quicknode to securely pick up blockchain transactions from our backend and verify state changes in real time. It allows us to have a reliable way to know what is happening in all the chains we support without having to worry about uptime or maintaining a critical service by ourselves and therefore reducing our operational costs.
