Not much is known about the Hawkins. They have definitely managed to shroud their entire existence in secrecy. Some say it is because of their technological advancements. Others claim that they are just hiding away in the Endless Wasteland. What everyone does know is that most of the brightest minds in the world came together to form a faction whose sole purpose is to discover something.
Again, there is not much data on what exactly they are working on, but many of their robots have been spotted near the giant structures called Geolyths found all over Apollumia. Why are the Hawkins interested in the structures? What do they want to do? Are they able to open it when no one in existence was able to?
It’s difficult to say. One thing is for certain. If any faction is seeking technological advancements, then it is the Hawkins they go to. In fact, some even claim that the entire Blue Blood architecture is based on the foundations of Hawkins research.
The Storung are a mafia clan. That does not mean that they go around hunting people and taking out adversaries. While they are criminals who have banded together under a strict functional and behavioural code, they are, at their core, opportunists who will do anything to keep their position of influence and power. They do not allow outside influence to blend in with internal politics and rarely do they encourage external additions to their clans. Of course, rules are meant to be broken, but they don’t get broken that easily.
Surprisingly, the majority of the Storung follow a religious doctrine as well. They believe in a God named Kalma, a deity they believe will come to claim the lands of Apollumia and spread fairness across the world. Some Storung leaders have claimed that they have seen this being appear as visions in the barren lands beyond the The Gray Docks. Not sure how much of it is true.
What is understood is that Storung takes no one’s side. They are not aligned with any specific faction. They are true businesspeople. If someone needs something, they need to pay the price for it. That is as simple as it gets. Their world is filtered down to fundamental transactions.
The Leighas believe in the idea that change can happen one action at a time.
They believe that if they can help one more soul, then they are bringing one more individual closer to the truth.
What does that mean?
No one really knows. However, there has been an increase in their prospecting measures. They are always looking for new members to be part of their group. Many have claimed that their end goal is to return the planet back to its original glory, with lush green lands, water sources, and all manner of flora and fauna.
The trick is to figure out how to go about that. They are working on several terraforming practices and technologies. But will they ever be successful? Only time will tell.
The Mahadevas are possibly the largest faction in terms of members alone. Since most of the world was in a state of poverty before the apocalypse, it’s only doubtless to say that the majority of the population were thrown to the harsh lands of Apollumia. It is said that there was one man who started it all, and his name is spoken forever among the Devas.
Icarus.No one knows his real name. They merely know what he calls himself in front of everyone. While Icarus has passed away from the mortal realm a long time ago, some say that his soul still survives out there in the harsh lands.
The Mahadevas are open to any form of work, which is probably why you see a lot of hired mercenaries come from their factions.
They are able to maintain a flimsy balance with most of the clans, especially Blue Bloods. But no one knows when the spark of revolution might ignite.
Blue Bloods are probably one of the most advanced societies to survive the apocalypse. It started as a small group of people composed of the world’s most powerful and elite. They had reached a level of sophistication even before the end of the world, with bio modifications and artificial enhancements allowing them to break the limits of what the body was capable of. Of course, not many were aware of their technological advancements. They were the elite. They were going to make sure they kept it that way.
Soon, they pooled all their resources to develop their ideas. Floating cities, neural chips that allowed for wireless technological communications that almost bordered on telepathy, AI enhancements, and so much more.
After the catastrophe that shook the entire world, they immediately took charge of society. The Blue Bloods wanted to conquer everything from their floating kingdoms. No matter the cost.
This is your destiny. You are part of a world that transformed so fast it was like moving in fast forward. Not many know the cause of the catastrophe. All records point towards a chain of natural disasters that swept the world, decimating its landscape and rearranging its features. It felt as though nature itself had launched a coordinated attack on the world. Maybe it had.
Hundreds of years after what is globally known as the Jigoku Catastrophe, or Jika Extinction event, humanity is finally learning to settle into a new terrain. But something is not right. Mysterious structures have appeared in several regions on the planet, as though they had blinked into existence. Sightings of strange creatures and eerie phenomena are whispered among travelers. Powers that meander close to the realm of magic are witnessed by many.
It is a new world.
It is your future.
Survive.
The world of Apollumia is unforgiving. Creating such a world that teems with stories, mysteries, and possibilities requires a special team. It isn’t just about the founders who hold a bold vision in their minds. It is also about the team who are able to populate Apollumia with unique visuals, stories, and ideas.
Let us venture forth into the land of the creators. Let us look at the true survivors of a kaleidoscopic universe brimming with so many moving parts, and plenty of rich lore to unearth.
In the beginning, there was no world. There was no Apollumia. Then came one survivor who was a seasoned expert in gamer acquisition and games operation strategies for over a decade. This survivor looked beyond the horizon of possibilities with his unique skill set; the ability to understand and lead game development.
That survivor is Harris Wang.
A long time ago, Harris began to hone his experiences when he led the store sales team at Apple. Always being an overachiever, he quickly found his way into Nanigans to head their gaming business for GCR. One might think Harris was satisfied with his growth.
He wasn’t. He wanted more.
Harris continued his upward trajectory to become the Business Director at Facebook Gaming in the Greater China Region. In short, he is an ex-Meta.
With his single-minded focus, Harris has not only helped the overall growth of China’s mobile developer industry, but has managed more than USD 500 million in user acquisition budget, and executed strategies to achieve more than 200 million game downloads globally.
It does not end there.
Harris has directly contributed to the success of massively popular games globally such as Lords Mobile, Mafia City, Rise of Kingdom, and the recent smash hit, Genshin Impact.
But it isn’t his experience that is phenomenal. Harris also holds a Master of Science from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and an Entrepreneurship Program from Stanford University.
Now, his vision has led to the birth of Apollumia.
A post-apocalyptic world needs someone to work on its technical aspects.
It needs someone like Sky.
Sky has had a long journey with video games. More specifically, he holds more than 15 years of refined skills, understanding, and experience working in gaming and internet protocol architectural design and development.
The journey’s beginning happened when he received his MA in Electrical Engineering from Chongqing University in 2007. From there, he started his career with the multinational giant, Tencent, by building out its social gaming structure. His work helped solidify the company’s gaming success for the next decade. After realizing his potential, he was made to work on some of the most popular social games development for Tencent. At the same time, he also led the design and optimization of the technology architecture for massive users on the global Tencent platform.
Sky went on to join !fun as the CTO in 2018 and spearheaded the company’s entire operations.
When societies fall into ruins, then it’s the connections that matter. Community breeds growth. Partnerships foster development. Both require someone like Brigante, who has years of experience in sales and marketing.
Brigante began to garner experience when he was a sales professional in the insurance industry. His interactions allowed him to understand the core mechanics of the psychology behind sales. Coupled with his long involvement in the promotional fields, he has developed a keen sense of understanding professional connections and relationships.
After realizing that he has a passion for NFTs, he has been actively participating in the industry since 2021. Using his refined sales skills, he began to establish an extensive network with key figures and influential players in the NFT and crypto scene.
The only constant is change. For a society to improve, that change takes place in the form of growth. Luis is the man behind the growth of the Apollumia community.
He had gained immeasurable experience managing teams, understanding and guiding workflows, maintaining quality control, and training new personnel. While his experience was in the upholstery industry, Luis realized that he could transfer his extensive skill sets into another avenue.
He could bring his skills to the NFT and crypto industry.
Since 2021, he has not only been an active member in NFT space, but he has managed to connect with fascinating personalities in the industry as well. His wealth of ideas, along with the skills he has honed during his professional career allowed him to become part of some of the top projects in the NFT realm. Because of his experience, he can visualize and analyze marketing trends and strategies. He can explore ways to glue the community together and develop strategies to grow them substantially. By reacting to community feedback and industry standards, Luis can uphold the highest quality in communications and engagement, while being able to easily onboard new members into the team.
Economics. It’s the key to a society’s stable function, even if that society were to exist in a post-apocalyptic world.
But for economics to go right, you need an economist who thinks right. In our team, we have Joseph, who has more than 10 years of experience working in Corporate Finance, M&A, and early-stage investments. He understood that his passion lay in economics and finance after he received his BA in Economics and Legal Studies from UC Berkeley. He knew that he had to pursue those passions. It was like an itch that he needed to scratch.
Joseph does not like waiting for opportunities to land on his lap. But he wasn’t the one to reject should he discover something he desires. It so happened that one such opportunity arrived in the form of Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, which kick-started his career in investment banking.
This allowed him to participate in some of the largest IPOs at that time. He joined 500.com in 2015 as Director for Corporate Development and oversaw the company’s key M&A transactions and early-stage investments in China, Hong Kong and Europe. He later expanded his role to head up the in-game economics design team. Joseph joined Qfun as CFO in 2018, overseeing the entire game economics to build the company’s business portfolio. This allowed the company to gain massive profitability and sustainability.
There is a tale of a survivor who has more than 8 years of experience in the game industry.
This survivor has gained superior knowledge to guide the development of a project. More specifically, he has been the driving force behind several web3 video games.
This survivor, whose name you shall know as Ngai, began his professional journey by being a successful entrepreneur. He immediately began to forge a path of accomplishments, leading the development of multiple globally successful video games.
But Ngai did not want to merely settle for the milestones that he had already accomplished. He was already eyeing the next big achievement.
In 2015, he began to study the field of blockchain and Web3.0. He understood that the future lay in blockchain technology, and he was going to make sure that he was part of that future. He developed an in-depth understanding of blockchain investment through his extensive research. He began to understand the design of many well-known projects.
With his understanding, he began to develop several blockchain games on public chains such as Ethereum, EOS, and Krypton. With a focus created from experience, Ngai managed to build his activities to reach a total transaction volume of hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s not all that he did. He cooperated with BSC, TRON, SOL and other public chains to issue several blockchain games to reach massive commercial results.
He also went on to work for Perfect World, where he served as the person in charge of global game products. With his help, the company managed to achieve a global turnover of more than 500 million US dollars.
When you have a world as rich as Apollumia, you need a survivor who knows how to keep the wheels of progress running constantly. You need a producer who has the skills and experience to transform the creative into a plan of action.
That survivor is Jay, who has accumulated a wealth of experience in the gaming industry. If there is one thing that one can understand about Jay, is that he is an Ex-Zynga game producer. In other words, he was the producer in a company that is currently worth more than $10 billion. You might think that’s his major accomplishment.
You are going to be wrong. Jay has accomplished so much more.
He is also an Ex-Kabam and Ex-ELEX member, two more giants in the game development industry. With the skills that he had garnered throughout his life, he went on to work on some of the most influential and successful games in the mobile game industry.
Cityville. Dragons of Atlantis. The Walking Dead Survivors. Jay has been an integral part of their success, bringing them out from their initial phase to the position that they enjoy today.
Eventually, Jay realized that he could use his skills and experience in another field. The NFT space. With his sights set on a new goal, he decided to become the producer of Apollumia, aiming to bring the project into the same glory as the other games he had produced.
If a society needs to thrive in the world of Apollumia, then it might just need an advisor who has its best interests at heart. Charlie is a crypto industry veteran with over a decade of professional experiences. With all of his experiences and knowledge, the world of Apollumia was able to come alive with its tokenomics. Understanding all the intricacies that go into developing the very structure and logic behind tokens in order to make them interesting, yet relevant, is his forte. But that wasn’t all. He wanted to connect his ideas to a post-apocalyptic world flooding with great stories.
At one point, he was the Head of Asia for Polygon. It was a role that he excelled in. After all, he was instrumental to the development of the Polygon blockchain in the Asia market, including building the ecosystem of its partners and supporters. Currently, Charlie is the Managing Partner of Lucid Venture and Head of Asia of Game7 DAO. But he is also an important planner at Apollumia.
A strong brand and marketing team needs a strong leader. It needs someone who can understand a vision and transform it into actionable and successful milestones. It needs a man like Jimmy, who began his career with the world renown Ogilvy PR as a Digital Strategist.
Jimmy’s origin story saw him, a Taiwanese American, grow up in the US. He lived across Taiwan and Shanghai as well, allowing him to develop a multicultural background. This would soon become his superpower.
If there is anything to know about Jimmy, it is that he never settles for less. He wasn’t going to settle for the role at Ogilvy PR. He was aiming for more. It was for that reason that he founded and continues to run a successful creative agency of his own for eight years. His company focuses on providing clients with digital and social branding and marketing solutions. The agency also plans and manages various forms of events and exhibitions.
His agency was so successful that it attached itself to prestigious Fortune 500 brands. He also consults for top mobile game companies such as Lilith, Mihoyo, and Yotta on creative advertising and strategy. This opens the doors to even more milestones. Take for example the fact that he has consulted for more than 20 popular video games on various aspects of creative advertising, branding, and marketing. Not only that, he has provided direction from the game development stage, all the way to the user acquisition stage. Some of his success stories are present in Rise of Kingdoms, Mafia City, The Grand Mafia, Genshin Impact, Ark of War, Art of Conquest, and Idle Heroes. But those are just a few names in a list of accomplishments.
With all his experience and his multicultural background, he is now a much demanded expert for clients. These are clients who wish to understand cultural phenomena and how best to leverage them strategically, financially, and tactically.
In a post-apocalyptic world, success and opportunities come to those who are able to communicate their content. It’s a task you can’t merely offer anyone.
You need a master communicator. Thankfully, we have Akhil, who has more than 14 years of experience in marketing. After gaining a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, he wanted to find a way to fuse his passion for writing into marketing. This led him to become the Marketing Executive and eventually, Senior Copywriter, at a fledgling e-commerce company. Akhil single-handedly took charge of the marketing department, building the company’s overall revenue to $20,000, which was 300% more than their revenue before he joined.
Since then, he has gained experience in online and social media marketing, SEO and SEM, copywriting and content management, video direction, and branding, working for several marketing agencies. Previously, as the Digital Marketing Manager at the acclaimed Emkan Media, he had developed the video marketing department, contributing to 60% of the company’s profits. In his free time, he works as a ghostwriter, having already helped publish over 100 books on Amazon.
A vision like Apollumia needs a visual that is engaging.
To bring the brand alive with colors, aesthetics, and themes that resonate with the community, the team needed someone who could understand design in its various forms.
The team decided to bring on the skills of Edward, who was the ex-designer of Superunion and Moneko.
Edward does not merely have keen insights into the latest design technologies, but also a real eye for detail and a running desire to challenge his skills. When he ventured into the world of visuals, he wasn’t merely content with working on small projects. His desire to expand his creativity allowed him to become an award-winning designer in brand identity and brand expression.
He is a maestro when it comes to the conceptualization of various brand deliverables with UI/UX expertise. But that’s not all. Edward has gone on to win several awards, such as the below:
Winner of D&AD New Blood Award – Wooden Pencil (2019)
Red Dot Award – Best of The Best (2019)
Red Dot Junior Award – Junior Prize (2019)
Crowbar Award – 1 Gold, 1 Silver & 2 Bronze (2019)
Frank is an enthusiastic artist and illustrator with a unique vision and artistic language. He enjoys looking at ideas from different perspectives, whether they are characters or simple objects.
Focusing on fantasy, world-building, and story-telling through images, Frank is an animation maestro. An art academic at world renown Rhode Island School of Design, Frank is also part of the famous Hollywood animation studio Titmouse Inc.. If you are wondering about the studio, then you should simply check out their slew of work. After all they brought us Marvel Heroes, Marvel Black Panther, League of Legends: Trials of the Poro, Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures, The Legend of Vox Machina, Apex Legends: Stories from the Outlands, Hearthstone Mercenaries Anime, Rick and Morty and The Boys: Diabolical. These are popular products that can be seen on streaming platforms on Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+ and Apple TV.
Being with the studio did not dampen Frank’s curiosity. He didn’t simply settle for what he had, because he knew he was capable of more.
That was when he turned his attention to the world of Apollumia.
Art is an expression, and the art of Apollumia needs to be very specific in order to express its world, themes, and ideas.
Tianxian is currently an art academic at world renown Rhode Island School of Design. When he is not busy advancing his skills, he is deep into creative expression. This dedication to his craft allowed him to build more nuances into his work. He has a real eye for details, which worked in his favor. It allowed him to gain immense experience and recognition as a game character and concept artist. He is particularly fond of, and specialized in, mystical and highly detailed character designs. By seamlessly blending the extraordinary with the fantasy, Tianxing’s work caught the eye of several global brands.
But that wasn’t his greatest achievement.
You see, Tianxing accomplished something he probably never thought possible.
One of his biggest milestones is working on the Black Panther movie. Yes, THE Marvel Black Panther movie.
Since then, he has also gone on to work with acclaimed studios like Paizo and 9b Collective.
The world needs engineers, especially those who can understand the intricate world of information technology. Into that world comes a man named Seferog, who graduated from one of the top universities in Turkey with a degree in computer engineering. But his interest in IT predates his education, as he had been coding ever since he was a kid. His skills allowed him to create exemplary utilities that people could use.
He became active in the NFT space in the middle of 2021. As his passion lay in IT, there was no surprise that he developed a deep interest in blockchain technology. This interest allowed him to develop a full-time NFT project of his own.
That’s not all. He has helped over 15 projects with the development of their contracts, bots, and Discord structures.
Siimi does not merely manage a Discord server.
He also manages his own business.
It is no surprise that he understands the very essence of management, whether that is in the form of a business or an online community. SiiMi began his NFT journey by working as a mod. As he continued to moderate various communities, he also began to learn about guiding them. After quickly mastering various skills, he leaped into bigger projects, establishing his name as a successful manager. His growth was exponential, allowing him to host events, assist members, and even become a valuable inclusion in several communities like Wonderpals, Aquatoolshq, Nanoverse, Soulz, and no many others.
Many experiential opportunities.
Apollumia will bring to its community two exhilarating experiences.
The casual game will provide a seamless connection between blockchain enthusiasts and game seekers. Anyone can drop in and play a game session without worrying about the crypto aspect. On the other hand, those who wish to take advantage of the blockchain technology can easily do so.
The SLG game, created using industry-grade AAA technology, will focus on epic battles and exciting progression. Players can choose to play alone or in massive guild wars to help build their survivor. The game will feature PVE, PVP, and GVG elements, allowing anyone to engage with the world and connect with an ever growing and supportive community.
But there is more.
