SINGAPORE – April 30, 2025 – Vameon has officially launched dEmpire of Vampire, a dark fantasy 3D mobile RPG designed to address longstanding issues in the GameFi sector. This release is positioned as a reaction to the widespread failures that have characterized the space, particularly the collapse of numerous projects driven by speculative hype rather than sustainable value.

The GameFi sector has faced significant challenges in recent years. Initially propelled by trends such as NFTs and Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics, the industry has since experienced a downturn, with approximately 93% of GameFi projects having failed and an average project lifespan of only four months. These failures have been attributed to short-term thinking, unsustainable economic models, and rushed product releases that did not prioritize gameplay quality or user experience.

Vameon enters this context not as a new entrant, but as a developer aware of these pitfalls. dEmpire of Vampire was originally launched in 2023, with a phased approach to development that included the introduction of its VON token in December 2024. The game is now fully available on both the App Store and Google Play. The release aims to set a new precedent in GameFi by focusing on longevity and utility, alongside gameplay that is accessible and engaging across both Web2 and Web3 platforms.

A core component of dEmpire of Vampire is its approach to Web3 integration. Unlike earlier GameFi projects that required users to interact directly with blockchain technology, Vameon has made these features optional. This includes the use of a free NFT character associated with each account, allowing players to experience digital ownership without upfront costs or the need for specialized knowledge. This strategy aligns with broader trends such as "invisible wallets" that simplify Web3 user experiences.

The game’s economic model also diverges from predecessors. Players earn the native VON token through in-game achievements, with anti-inflation measures in place to preserve token value. These include a dual-budget reserve and a structured buyback mechanism designed to provide stability during periods of high reward redemptions. Additionally, revenue from traditional in-app purchases, such as premium character packs, supports the Play-to-Earn economy, establishing a hybrid monetization model that aims to balance sustainability with engagement.

This approach seeks to mitigate the issues that led to the failure of many earlier GameFi projects, where token economies often collapsed due to speculative overreach and insufficient economic safeguards. According to recent industry reports, while overall investment in GameFi dropped by 71% in Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024, the number of deals increased by 35%, and daily unique active wallets surpassed 7 million in January 2025—a 386% year-over-year rise. These figures suggest that while the market is contracting in terms of project volume, user engagement remains robust for high-quality offerings.

dEmpire of Vampire features a dark fantasy setting, optimized performance for a broad range of mobile devices, and gameplay that allows players to progress through gothic-themed challenges. The design targets both Web3 users and the broader Web2 gaming audience by reducing the complexity often associated with blockchain-based games.

Vameon has indicated that the game is part of a larger strategic roadmap. Future updates planned through Q2 2025 include an in-game marketplace, expanded utility for the VON token, and additional game content. This roadmap is intended to support long-term player retention and further integrate economic mechanisms that reinforce stability and value.

The development of dEmpire of Vampire reflects a shift in the GameFi sector toward more measured and sustainable project design. As the market evolves, projects that can demonstrate tangible value, user-centric design, and robust economic structures are expected to play a central role in the sector’s maturation.
