Hey doods! We have a fun bonus blog to share with you today: a chat with Max from Crypto INSIDE, one of our top content creators and a player in the recently concluded Apeiron Season 2 Guild Wars.
Max has been doing incredibly well at building a community and bringing people together to play Apeiron — demonstrated by an incredible dark horse run at the AGW, snagging 3rd place in a run that included beating teams Generative Dungeon, Web3Clipse, and Zombie Club.
We love seeing content creators coming in and making a splash, so we thought it would be neat to share an interview with him and hear his Apeiron story. Let us know if you enjoy this blog and if you’d like to see more interviews like this!
Also…just before we jump in…quick reminder that the Chunky Ghost Nebula Expedition is LIVE NOW. Get exploring by staking your Planets and newly-minted Apostles for a chance to claim some Animus for yourself! Get started on that HERE.
Now then! Let’s get interviewin’.
Foonie Magus (FM): Hi there Max! Maybe we can start with you just telling us very briefly who you are and what you do?
Max: Hi I’m Max. I played under the nickname Daryus for the AGW tournament. I’m a content creator mostly working on YouTube and founder of Crypto INSIDE.
FM: Great! So no beating around the bush: what led you to become a content creator?
Max: I think the very opportunity to participate and test my skills was what drew me to content creation. And then I got interested in web3 through games like Axie Infinity. But to be honest I had fallen a little bit out of web3 stuff until I came across Apeiron.
FM: Oooo interesting. Let’s delve deeper into that line of thought. How did you find out about Apeiron? First impressions?
Max: I found out about the game something like half a year ago. I came across a video on YouTube (if I’m not mistaken the video was made by guys from PROCENT — which shows your promotion strategy works!) and then there was season 1 on…I think it was Fractal. So I downloaded the game and tested it out. I liked the game — it has really interesting mechanics and unique gameplay — and started to learn more about it.
FM: Yeah and this led you to join our content creation program right?
Max: It did. Fun fact, I ended up applying on the last day of the last day of the programme. I’m very happy I got in haha!
FM: So are we! Let’s talk about the Apeiron programme. What does it do differently? How did it measure up to your expectations?
Max: Apeiron’s program for content creators is the best on the market. It provides all the tools to attract audiences in these difficult times and the terms of cooperation to attract more and more people to the project. From my point of view, I can identify three major factors that play a play in why I think the programme is great:
First, the Apeiron team. They are interesting and open people who will help with any question and listen to constructive criticism on the game. I think that’s the most important factor in why the programme works so well.
Second, the rewards. In such a market only Apeiron has made this kind of programme, which shows the seriousness of the project. This is a strong motivation for content creators to get acquainted with the game and introduce their community to the amazing project.
Third, the game has a cool established community, with a lot of cool guys who spend a lot of time on Discord. It’s very satisfying to be a part of and interact with everybody.
You can say that the program exceeded all my expectations. I am very happy with this experience and such opportunities. I’ll do my best to make more people aware of Apeiron!
FM: Yes and you’ve been doing awesome in that regard. How have you found success as an Apeiron content creator? How did you get people to try out and stick with our game?
Max: At that time I was already active on YouTube and had about 800–1000 subscribers. I made a few videos about the game (looking back, I realize I could have done better — ehhh perfectionism). But the most important factor that led to my success is that I split the rewards with the players. I gave the $5 earned per person to the person himself, motivating him to fulfill certain conditions in the game and giving him the opportunity to love the game. I was just being generous and it paid off big time. Example — thanks to this kind of promotion I gathered cool guys who loved the game and we took 3rd place in the 2nd season of the AGW.
FM: Yes congrats on that finish! Speaking more about it, what kind of approach did you team take to the tournament, and how did it contribute to your excellent run?
Max: We would all play individually as much as we could then we would do a call together to discuss our thoughts on our playthroughs and then combine our notes to create different strategies. In particular, we were looking to see if we all reached the same conclusions independently — then we could be confident it was a good strategy.
Also we had Rufka, who is a very strong player…even though he is an ancient 32 year old haha. He was our ace in the hole!
FM: Favorite Avatar? Apostle? Skill?
Max: I actually like all the classes, but the Fate is fun for his ranged auto-attacks and mobility. But as for my favorite combination, the Wisdom Avatar with Mage Apostle — a meteorite and a 5-mana skill that breaks half your face — is hard to beat.
FM: We won’t argue with that haha. We’re getting close to wrapping things up but I also wanted to ask — as someone who brings in a lot of new players, do you have any advice for them, to get them started strong on their Apeiron journey?
Max: Apeiron is a big game with a lot of content. So I would say the best way to start is by trying all Avatars and all Apostles and seeing what you like. Then, if you want to play more competitively, checking out guides on YT, reading up and chatting on Discord, and learning the top strategies will be helpful. But also you must play with your heart and soul.
FM: We love that! Ok, well, we’re just about out of time but we wanted to ask if you have any acknowledgements you’d like to make?
Max: Yes I do actually. First, I’d like to thank the Apeiron team for always answering questions and taking opinions — I’m talking about Lorekeeper, Big sword, ShadowSan, and Eulon especially, you guys have been amazing — this is an example of how a product should be done. I’d like to thank my teammates at Crypto INSIDE — Rufka and Derfas — for doing a great job in the AGW. I’d also like to thank our opponents for the competitive matches — Generative Dungeons, Web3clipse, Zombie Club, and Guildless Gamers — we learned a lot from playing against you guys.
FM: And thank you, Max, for making the time to talk with us. Bye for now!
And that’s the end of this one! We hope that you enjoyed this interview with Max, and make sure to check out his YouTube channel.

About Apeiron
Apeiron is the world’s first NFT-based play-and-earn god game. Apeiron will feature a unique card-based action-adventure combat system combined with god game simulation gameplay inspired by classic god games like Populous and Black & White. Players will be able to build up planets from above before descending to the ground as a powerful Avatar to solve the mysteries of the universe. Players will grow their planet to the point of developmental stagnation, then reset the planetary cycle via an Armageddon event to allow for even more advancement and thrilling late-game alliance level GvE and GvG activities. Apeiron will use a tri-token architecture, which means that there will be three separate tokens to navigate their ecosystem: a governance token, a play-to-earn token, and a premium alliance token.
