Great job @andrarchy. This was a fun interview and well spliced together. Feels like a good representation of what we all talked about and hopefully it's a wakeup call to game developers all over that want the things they create to have value outside of just the game world.
Yes, thank you for having us! It went really well other than @aggroed getting a parking ticket and your cats interrupting my train of thought a few times :-P
I really hope seeing this gives other people the motivation and encouragement they need to start their own awesome projects on the Steem blockchain too!
Congratulations for reaching such a high milestones so early, took me by a surprise. Have you considered doing kickstarter? It could be a great PR move eventually.
I'm so glad you guys took the time to further explain the story and the motivations behind this project. I also really like the way the post was put together and the information presented as a cohesive story. Very useful and compelling discoveries along the way, and the best is still to come.
It is, as you say, a totally different way of thinking - and it's a good one. We're all going to the same moon, and the more we realize that by working together to make amazing experiences happen on STEEM the better off we all are.
Nobody really even invited me to join this effort, yet I feel so much a part of it that it's like it is my own. Permissionless innovation was one of the key drivers that made the internet such an important economic phenomenon. I am super excited that the steemmonsters team and ecosystem seems to have that as its core DNA.
My take on it, and my interest in STEEM is that we are building the next version of the internet here, and the economic system of the future. This story you've just told is confirmation that those thoughts are indeed on the right track.
I feel exactly the same. The permissionless element was a big part of the reason why I started creating so much content on Steemit.com. I didn't have to wait for some big company to give me permission to support a project I believed in, and more importantly, I didn't have to wait for them to reward me for doing so. Little did I know I'd one day become Steemit's Content Director!

Well said.
Indeed, permissionlessness is well known to be the key aspect of economic growth. (Narrow interests exist in the world. If one must ask permission, the answer, mostly independent of the merits of what is being asked for, is most often just "no".)
Permissionlessness is why markets, even if not exactly nirvana or pure sugar, outperform just about everything else on the planet. Most other social media platforms exist in the market. They are even valued highly by the market. But unlike blockchain based social media, they're not - in spirit - aligned with the market.
Oooh this looks like an awesome interview. Can’t wait to watch it later! I love how you guys formatted the post too so that people can easily jump straight to different sections of the interview - or watch/listen in entirety.
I watched the full interview and it was fantastic @andrarchy ! Love what Steem Monsters @aggroed & @yabapmatt have brought to steemit, and I am all ready buying and saving cards for when we learn more about the game and how it will be played , not to mention what a great investment opportunity it is even if you don't play! Im sure is the first of much more to come and Steemit is looking at some very exciting times in the near future! Great job you guys, so glad I have always voted you as witness for 2 years now, its well deserved! upped and resteemed to 5500 followers!💕👹👾👽👿👺 Go Steem Monsters!upped and resteemed to 5500 followers!
Great interview. Always nice to see the interviews as we move forward to game play etc. Thanks for the info and thank you guys for all your hard work getting this game going...
I’m stoked to see this in-depth exploration — looking forward to watching the full interview once back at my desk!
I’m happy to see you’ve highlighted the crowd-sourcing element as I feel that’s part of what really sets this game apart. It’s given people so many ways to get involved — even those of us who aren’t generally attracted to ‘gaming’.
It’s already had such incredible success, and has barely gotten started. I’m excited and curious to see how it continues to grow from here!
It is a great way to give value to the steem blockchain, and to allow another way to socialize between users, I am more comfortable and familiar with the steemians that we exchange cards.
Simply amazing, my regards.
@aggroed and @yabapmatt raised really great points about how great the Steem blockchain really is for new or existing entrepreneurs and their startups. You have the blockchain platform, the community and the financial and creative resources needed to make things happen.
I also think it is important for Steem's success to have a stronger social media presence, and am glad to see @reseller and others working on it.
Excellent interview! I think one of the best ideas these months is steem monsters. After reading this publication, two things are clear to me: the first is that with talent and perseverance we can achieve everything, and the second is that steem is becoming a way not only to make money, but also to develop our creative potential. Certainly no one is going to lose, but obviously people who take risks are more likely to achieve their goals. The fact that they have been successful in such a short time does not only speak to the genius of the idea, but also to the need for such a platform for games like this. It was a shot to the floor. Congratulations!
PLEASE @steemitblog help goodbloggers to survive. So many people complain that they don't like bad bloggers but they do nothing to change it. I found the way.
Twenty minutes into the interview, still nothing about the gameplay. This is the question I've been asking myself since I first saw about SteemMonsters: is SteemMonsters a game without a game mechanic yet? If so, then I guess it would at the moment better be described as a collectible card story or something to that effect.
Wonderful interview~~!! I loved the questions and the answers. It has been an amazing experience to be able to watch this game come to life, and grow into it's own Steem Monster!!!
Congratulations to all involved and thanks for putting in all the hard work to make this game possible!
I really enjoyed the format, having the footage broken down into smaller, almost soundbitey segments for the time poor.
Great first interview.
If you're looking for suggestions, I'd like to see you tee something up with @sevinwilson to talk about the design, ordering and delivery process for the Steem branded silver rounds.
This post kind of wants me to start playing this SteemMonsters game. I was never one for a collectors card game. I dunno why. Not Pokemon back when it was crazy popular around my town, or Pokemon go when it first came out.
A friend of mine tried to get me into Magic the Gathering. Showed me all the cards he had (and it was thousands) and the basics of cards. We played a few open card games, but didn't understand most of it. Maybe because I wasn't interested.
Maybe SteemMonsters isn't the card game for me either, but I'm sure as hell glad they did this on the Steem Blockchain. The perfect platform. I wonder what other games people can build on Steem.

The road to success is paved in parking tickets and cat meme's
Such is life ;) nice work and how steem monsters is unfolding for all
Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to do the interview. I couldn't have asked for a better first interview.
Congratulations for reaching such a high milestones so early, took me by a surprise. Have you considered doing kickstarter? It could be a great PR move eventually.
I love the title: Hearthstone on a Blockchain?
Whoever did that: great job!
And 10 minutes into the interview - a lot of great stuff!
I want Age of Steemians, Age of Empires 2 but with STEEM characters
AoE2 is MY GAME! I just wish it was still a challenge...
Indeed man! grooming those Hearthstone guys :D
Yes! I've been waiting for this one! @steemmonsters is an amazing project created right off the steem blockchain!
Congrats, you made the #steemitminute for today!

Wow, follow your heart they say, not the rewards...now look at you. A total inspiration
