NEW YEAR WITH DUCK × MY × DUCK
Roman2024 was the year we brought DUCK × MY × DUCK to life — a product we're truly proud of. Today, I’d like to share some insights about the Ducks from a developer’s perspective.
Together with my partners, we’ve built successful browser and social games. I wasn’t a big fan of anything Web3-related in games before Telegram mini-apps. Great games don’t need crypto to be enjoyable — if the gameplay is strong, players will enjoy it on its own. Blockchain doesn’t directly enhance gameplay, and its other benefits — like transparency and ownership rights — often hold little value in the early stages.
However, the current cost of acquiring users in mobile app stores is staggering. One thing Telegram mini-apps revealed is that an in-game token can serve as an additional tool for user acquisition.
Another advantage is that Telegram enables the creation of social games, similar to classic browser games. In recent years, no mobile platform has offered this kind of social gaming experience.
This year, many tap-style games gained massive popularity but revealed how short their life cycle can be. Without additional value and external funding, token prices eventually drop, and the flow of new players dries up.
We chose a path we understand well: building a genuinely engaging game that players enjoy. Our belief is that if people love playing, collaborating, and competing, they’ll not only aim to earn but will also be willing to pay for entertainment. In this ecosystem, game assets gain real value.
Our plan is to deepen and enrich the DUCK × MY × DUCK experience. For example, one of the upcoming updates introduces Packs — our version of clans. Packs will be more than just a badge; they’ll be groups of players engaging in cooperative gameplay, including competitions against other packs.
Ducks aren’t cheap — and neither is creating DUCK × MY × DUCK itself. The game hasn’t brought us profit yet, and we’re building this experience for you. Many of you already believe we’ve crafted something special, and we’re confident we can make it even better. By playing and collecting Ducks, you’re sharing this belief with us.
Our vision of success is when DMD can be utilized across multiple games, where players aren’t just chasing profit but are also enjoying the process.
Let’s make DUCK × MY × DUCK the best Telegram game of 2025 together! Every friend playing alongside you is already a big help on this journey.
