An interview with team Mossland.

Mossland is a location-based Augmented Reality(AR) mobile game based on real estate. You can own landmarks in your vicinity and also sell or purchase others’ with Moss Coin, an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency.

Q. What’s one thing you believe your team does better than the rest?

A. Our strength is that we do not hesitate. If we have an idea, the action is taken immediately. As you know, most concerns people are worried about are very unlikely to happen. So, we solve issues arising during the process rather than just worrying about them. Our team wants to solves the problems. To do this, the action should be taken.

Q. What is the book (or books) you’ve given the most as a gift, and why? Or what are the one to three books that have greatly influenced your life?

A. I would choose this book, of course. The whole story of the book, ‘How to Sharpen Pencils’ by David Rees, is a serious joke. I never give a book that is thick, boring and includes common lessons as a present. Rather than that, I believe the book, which is more humorous with some jokes of pencils, will be more suitable for us working in the entertainment industry. A reader is very likely to realise one thing during reading this book. “There is nothing ordinary or useless in the world. It is about what I am interested in and focus on.”

Now, I would like to introduce three books that influenced my life most.

Caesar: The Gallic war

Julius Caesar, who has intelligence, vanity, rudeness, generosity, daring and delicacy, is the historical character I admire most. As he did not refer to any other historians, the book helps readers understand him truly.

2. Linked

This book is a game changer for me who makes profits from online and mobile games. This book teaches us the effectiveness of network mathematically and persuade us with some case studies. Therefore, some crucial decisions in my life were made based on the insight I learned from this book.

3. The age of access

Although the world is changing rapidly, it is not easy to realise this in our daily life. Our consuming pattern is changing from possession to access, and a number of business models have been set up and disappeared because of this. The book reminded me of this and influenced my game business plan afterwards.
