Korea is waiting for us! Neighbors, our duo Antonio Palma and Riccardo Sibani will be at Korea Blockchain Week next week. Will you be there? Let’s connect! It’s going to be a fantastic event, and we can’t wait to be there and meet you🤝

Who will be today's special guest?🙌 A fantastic person with whom we will delve into the creative and narrative processes of My Neighbor Alice. An aspect that could not remain hidden, showing us the organization of the team and how productive and collaborative it is in making the game a wonderful place to relax.🧘 It's time to announce it; we are excited to share with you the new interview withhhhh…. Sharina Reddy!🌸 Who are you and what do you do? 👤 ”I'm Sharina Reddy, the Creative Producer for My Neighbor Alice. I manage the Art, Audio, and Narrative teams by creating schedules, estimating workloads, communicating creative objectives cross-departmentally, and supporting each department as needed.” What unique features of My Neighbor Alice do you hope will particularly impress players, and why?👀 ”One unique feature My Neighbor Alice offers that I believe will impress players is our customization feature! It enhances self-expression and authenticity within the game. Players can choose from various Elle-branded patches for Elle t-shirts and sweaters, as well as different colors for Elle equippables and some placeables. Providing this level of customization is crucial for allowing players to represent themselves fully and feel deeply immersed in the MNA experience. Since this is one of my favorite features, I am definitely hoping for more customization options for everyone to enjoy in the near future” What makes you happy?😁 ”Outside of work, I spend a lot of time with my little rescue dog, Benji! We often go for long walks and runs together, but also enjoy cuddling on the couch and watching movies while he gets belly rubs (his favorite). Besides Benji, I'm very passionate about sports, particularly golf. I try to get out to the driving range or onto a course as much as possible, and I’ve been fortunate enough to attend a few U.S. Open golf tournaments, where I had the chance to watch Tiger Woods play!”

In My Neighbor Alice, we are one big family, but do you know how many nationalities are represented?🌸 There are as many as 28 different nationalities! This is a very interesting fact that can spark wonderful reflections. To think that we come from 28 different countries and are all connected with the same energy and desire to work is something incredible.🙌 Even though we are remote, every day, we look forward to discovering each other and growing more in tune with one another, strengthening our teamwork. We can't wait for these flags to continue growing as we keep learning new things!💪

Ready to discover our artistic side?🎨 Today's guest is the one who makes My Neighbor Alice a fantastic game to play, handling the atmosphere, the blend of colors, and the unique joy it brings. Our Lummelunda shines every day, filled with happiness and artists who take joy in making it an even better place to relax.🧘 We’re excited to share another interview with you, featuring our special guest Remy Chanfreau🌸 Who are you and what do you do?👤 “Hey, I’m Remy, or Myre on the internet. I’m the Art Director for My Neighbor Alice, where I get to work with an amazing team of artists to make Lummelunda feel alive, immersive, and beautiful! I come from an animation background and have worked as a designer on animation series and video game projects all over the world. I’m a passionate creator—whether it’s game jams, animated TikTok series, or more recently, YouTube videos, I just love making things & connecting with an audience. Most of my day is spent giving feedback and direction to make sure the game not only looks great but feels just right. Our team spans time zones from Shanghai to Vancouver, which keeps things interesting for sure!” What visual elements make the game particularly immersive and memorable?🙌 “What first drew me to My Neighbor Alice, even before I joined the team, was the art! The game has such a rich and vibrant universe to explore, brought to life by our incredible narrative department. They create the story and rules that make My Neighbor Alice unique, which our concept artists and 3D artists then translate into a visually stunning and intricate world. One of my favorite things is the attention to detail in every asset. For instance, did you know that most placeables are designed to also be perfectly sized for the small spirits in the game? Or that the map of the archipelago hides a bunch of animal shapes in its borders? It’s those little touches that make the world feel so believable and coherent, inviting players to truly immerse themselves in the game.” What makes you happy?😁 “What makes me happy and feel like I’ve done a good job is when something I’ve worked really hard on finds its audience and brings joy to others. That’s incredibly fulfilling for me.”

We’re not stopping this week either!💪🏻 Another interview is coming up, and it’s so exciting to discover the behind the scenes of the My Neighbor Alice team. Are you ready for today’s star?⭐️ Thanks to this spectacular guest, we’ll be focusing more on the design of our game, an incredibly interesting topic that we can’t wait to share with you. So, without further ado, let's reveal our guest for today, ooohhhh..., spotlight on the amazing Attila Fikó🌸 Who are you, and what do you do?👤 “My name is Attila Fiko, and I am a game designer on the team. My background is in F2P game design and virtual items trading. I design gameplay features such as crafting and landscaping.” What makes the game design of MNA better than others?👨🎨 “My Neighbor Alice is a really friendly MMO that encourages cooperation instead of competition. It allows players to self-express and gives them the freedom to play how they want.” What makes you happy?😁 “I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my two kids, and learning new things. I also enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and gardening.

We pay great attention to taking care of our players and like to focus on the details as well. For this reason, while you explore Lummelunda, you’ll have the chance to come across posters about our fantastic band, the Bees 'n' Buzzes, who play really loud.🐝 We really enjoy creating fun contexts where we can joke around with our players, who have now become like family.

Ready for a new interview?🤝 Today, we interviewed an incredible person who tackles great challenges every day and always finds the right solutions to problems at the right time. Let's give space to this key part of the team, the one who manages our team of developers and engineers, a true leader who excels in keeping everyone on good terms 🛠️ We can say that with him, there is always a chill and serene atmosphere. Without any delay, we are talking about Viktor Plane!🌸 Who are you, and what do you do?👤 “I'm Viktor, known as "snieking" on social media & in the Lummelunda Archipelago. I oversee the development teams and engineering at My Neighbor Alice. I have a professional background in backend and blockchain development, and I've been working with blockchains at ChromaWay for over five years now. This experience led me to become involved with My Neighbor Alice. A significant part of my day involves directing the technical aspects of My Neighbor Alice, solving complex problems, and specifying requirements for upcoming features and tasks. I also enjoy diving into coding, especially on the blockchain side, to stay updated with our codebases when time permits.” Why do you think the technology of My Neighbor Alice is so interesting?🤔 “We are in a unique position where people are just beginning to realize that many current Web3 games aren't as decentralized as they thought, as they still rely on centralized servers for game logic. At My Neighbor Alice, we break away from this norm. Our game logic runs entirely on the Chromia blockchain, eliminating the need for a centralized server. This approach opens up a lot of possibilities, such as ensuring fairness, enabling true player-owned assets, and allowing the game to potentially run indefinitely, supported by the community. Power to the Players!” What makes you happy?😁 “Besides my family? I’m a workaholic, so much of my happiness comes from achieving goals and solving challenging problems that have been puzzling me for days. There's nothing like the satisfaction of overcoming a tough challenge and seeing the results of your hard work pay off.”

It’s time for the builders, now! ⚒️ Every day, an incredible super team of builders gears up, making sure to create the most amazing game out there. And right from today, we’re super happy to introduce them in our “Behind the Scenes in Lummelunda” 🌸 Let’s start with one of the pillars of our marketing team: the man who oversees everything related to copy, marketing planning, content creation, and so many other things that you can’t even imagine! With no further ado, please meet the Legend Agustín Espósito Silveyra! Who are you and what do you do?👤 "I'm Agustín Espósito and my role on the team is dual-functional, leading the marketing team and the senior creative copywriter". Why MNA?✨ "The first thing that caught my attention as a gamer was the chance to work on a Web3 game as beautiful as My Neighbor Alice. Then, when I learned about the technology behind this project, it was impossible not to fall in love". What makes you happy?😁 "Outside of my work, I enjoy gaming, cooking, and playing bass. Lastly, I have an infinite love for exploring nature".
