AMA Recap: Haunted Space x Infinite Launch
We would like to express our gratitude towards those who joined the AMA on 6th Aug 2022 in the Infinite Launch Telegram group. We appreciate all your support. This is a recap of the entire session, in case you missed it!
Q1. Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself and your team? What are your past experiences?
So regarding me: I am Leonardo and I am the CMO of Haunted Space. I started my entrepreneurial path when I was 17, with dropshipping. After that I moved to e-commerce branding and then I created a digital marketing agency called E-rocket srl, that helped companies and brands to increase their online revenues.
In the meanwhile I invested in crypto, but only on BTC and ETH, until 2021 where I discovered NFTs and P2E technology. I fell in love with that and after that I met Luca Michelotti (the Haunted Space founder), and my partner Federico proposed to him to create a Multiplayer version P&E version of Haunted Space. He liked the idea and we started building what we have now :) .
Regarding the other part of the team.
The company behind Haunted Space is called: Italian Games Factory. This company was created by 3 partners: Luca Michelotti, Giorgio Xhaxho and Ivan Venturi.
Luca Michelotti is the Founder, Co-author and CTO of Haunted Space. He started developing games when he was 16 and he also owns a big marketing e-commerce agency (that's how I met him), that is currently working for Haunted Space.
Giorgio Xhaxho is our CEO and he is a really experienced entrepreneur that owns different successful companies. In particular, he also owns iMaster Art, a game development school that helped us get the best talent inside the Haunted Space project at a lower cost.
Ivan Venturi is instead our game producer. He started developing video games 35 years ago and has won a number of prizes in this year, such as one of the 100th most influential people in the Gaming world.
The overall company is composed of 40+ people of which 30 people work on the game design and 10 work on the marketing/crypto related task.
Other than that we are also incubated by Seedify and we will be incubated also by GDX, so we have an extra 20+ people that help us on tokenomics, marketing, vc, ecc.

Q2. Let’s give the audience a brief description of what Haunted Spaces is? How did you come up with the idea of Haunted Spaces? Is it influenced by any special moment or story?
Haunted Space will be the first Play AND Earn game that connects the blockchain world to the leading marketplaces: Steam (PC), Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, and S.
The project is a AAA game produced by a gaming design company which includes a team of more than fully doxxed 40 experts.
The video game has already organically generated such extreme interest that it has been published by the official channels of Playstation, Xbox and IGN.

The project is mainly divided in 3 parts:
- A Singleplayer game, that we have been developing in the past 4 years and will be released in the Q4 of this year
- A Multiplayer Free-to-Play that will be release on PS, Xbox and Steam that will be released on Q2/Q3 of 2023
- A Multiplayer P&E that will be connected to the blockchain and released in the Q2/Q3 of this year
We also already won a number of prizes on both the Single and Multiplayer:
🔺We won an Epic Mega Grant from Epic Games for our Single Player game.
🔺We won the First Place of Forbes competition as the best 2022 NFT collection for our Multiplayer game.
🔺We won second place in the international Huobi Hackathon by Nextype
🔺We are incubated by Seedify, one of the top Launchpads in the P2E industry.
The idea comes from Luca our founder, in this video it's better explained why he created Haunted Space -> https://youtu.be/f0BMq2P0g1Av
I cannot spoil the lore behind the Singleplayer, but you can find the one of the Multiplayer here -> https://hauntedspace.medium.com/2-where-everything-started-c8aff6639eef . The multiplayer lore is a prequel of the singleplayer one :)
Q3. Could you share with us the current development stage of Haunted Spaces?
So for the Singleplayer the game is almost finished. We are in the polishing phase, so 85/90% of the game is completed.

Q4. What are the competitive advantages of Haunted Spaces compared to its competitors? How do you plan to differentiate Haunted Spaces?
So at the moment we identified three major issues in the Blockchain Gaming market:
1.Currently available games are of low quality
2.Game release dates are often uncertain.
3.Blockchain has not yet reached traditional gamers
We have the solution to these problems!
1. Our game is built on Unreal Engine 5, we have million of views on youtube and over 30k wishlists on Steam, we have already won multiple prizes and moreover our main goal is to make the game as fun as possible, because we know that's the key in order to make a game succeed
2. As I mentioned before, thanks to the past 4 years of development the single player will be released in Q4 2022 and between Q2 and Q3 2023 we will release our P&E blockchain game.
3. This is the most important solution that we are bringing in my opinion. Our users that are going to play our game on the console will be moved to the P&E world. How?
Since the Multiplayer free-to-play game is the same game of the Multiplayer P&E, there is no point why a good player wouldn't move to the blockchain side.
Q5. Please provide a detailed overview of your NFTs and their utilities.
