Daniel Alegre, the CEO of Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club, shared an extensive essay on Twitter addressing challenges and issues the company faced in its game development, particularly with the HV-MTL Forge game. Alegre mentioned that although "Dookey Dash" was popular, "Forge" did not meet expectations.

The social building and mech management game didn't gain the same level of attention as the viral "Dookey Dash." Yuga Labs acknowledged technical problems with its recent game "Legends of the Mara" and mentioned the need to collaborate with experienced gaming partners. A recent company restructuring involved layoffs and a focus on enhancing gaming experiences.

Yuga Labs plans to work with external partners to improve its gaming projects, including the ambitious Otherside metaverse. Alegre emphasized the company's goal of providing rewarding digital experiences while not exclusively being a gaming company.
