Hello, hello everyone. How's it going?
Mr. B.T. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. I don't know where in the world you are. How's it going, man? Pretty good, man. How are you?
I'm doing alright, you know, much happier now that I get to talk to you and of course all of the august fan and all the DJ and gamers who have ner community. There you go. Oh, PJ. Yeah, you know, the question that I always got to ask you, where in the world are you, man?
Where am I?
Yeah, I'm in California at the moment and yeah, you know just grinding at home and I'm gonna be in Denver for if Denver beginning of March, you know if anybody in the audience is planning to attend
So if you can make it out to that, we're highly recommend it. And also I would suggest you to apply to attend because you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,#
know it's an application based thing so do that is up. But yeah, I run that or I see a bunch of people are trickling so welcome everyone.
I think we can get started with our second-agron gaming all-hands. Very excited. Second of many. So this is just to reiterate the goal of these spaces to shine a light of some
of the best projects in the ecosystem, exchange ideas, cheat chat, updates from the foundation of the role. And yeah, open floor for questions. So I want this to be inclusive and open space for the community.
So yeah, I see you know Dean is here. Alvetars if you want to come up and speak please send a request I'll bring you up Maybe we can start with Dean. How's it going man? Are things on your end? Hey man, I'm doing well.
Can complain, can complain. It's a lot of stuff going on, but you know, this is good. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, we just want to say hello to everyone. Thank you everyone for
joining. We don't have a ton of updates, we will have some big news in a week or two in relation to cooldown, but for now we mainly just want to hear from
all the gaming projects, the great gaming projects on Holger End. It's been an exciting last month, the last time we hold this with some of the releases, especially from Fractal going on to Maynet. So yeah, we're super excited.
All right, wait, can you give us a little bit of hints on cool down? That would be cool. I can't write down, unfortunately.
Fair, fair, I tried, I tried. But no, thanks, thanks. And also, I guess, you know, another kind of like, you know, announcement updates on our annual, you know, you're in New York. We're going to be pretty active for NFT in WC. We are planning a side event.
So, in case you want to get involved, we have speaking opportunities, there's going to be a gaming lounge as well. We're probably going to prioritize the local teams, as opposed to like, you know, bursaries and whatnot.
I guess overall, it's probably good for me to share this overall like this 2023 policy on Bursaries for us is going to be that like we give out Bursaries for speak only if there's speaking opportunity. So if you want to travel to a conference where you can speak and represent, you know, your project and I'll go and feel free to
reach out otherwise it's going to be tough. But I think this is worth sharing. But again, if you're in New York, if you plan to come to New York for NFT and we see feel free to reach out, I think it's a great event overall to you know, Mingle with the greater crypto community.
And if you know I'm on gold, you know, NFT related events, I think is probably the best and you know the OG one. So yeah, that's it for me on that side. Albatars, what's up with you guys? How's it going? Hey, you are.
I'm on the other side of the country unfortunately. I know, I know. So any updates you want to share with the community? Yeah, absolutely. I've been working hard. Yeah, absolutely. First off, it's nice to hear you not sick.
I know that you've been struggling for a few months. We've had a few great events with our beta release where we've streamed it for a few hours.
We had Jet who's invested her down on Twitch and we had Frugal live streaming at the same time and we had multiple games going on at the same time and getting some exposure out there before we're ready to launch season two.
Yeah, just a great little gaming community that we've built up able to play the game. Amazing, I love that. Anything coming up any particular initiative event you want to spotlight on?
Yeah, well, I just want people to get excited for wallet connectivity because we haven't implemented, but we don't have it launched yet because we want to launch it on mobile browsers at the same time as PC browsers or desktop browsers.
but that should be coming relatively soon. And that's kind of the biggest thing. And then once our goal is to launch season two and the full game at the same time. So that should be Q1 this year.
Amazing love that I mean you know I'm a big fan big supporter so keep up the good work and you know let us know if there's anything new any any cool to action for the community and you know I hope to see you on NFT and we see there's no excuse for you guys
not to be there being local to NYC. I don't know if you're going to be in Denver, but definitely we should connect also regarding NFT and WC because I'd love to get a few iPads and have people play the game. I think that would be cool. Yeah, I think that would be very cool. We'll reach out
to you after this. As far as a call to action for everyone, the more players we have, the better. So if you want, come visit our website, alvatar.net and get yourself fill out the form and we'll send you the beta link or join our discord and you can play with people to set up games in the discord and people jump on and play with you.
Amazing amazing. Alright, let's switch. Oh, I see Fractal monsters are here you guys have made a big splash and grats and you know I
a lot of very exciting stuff going on on your end. You want to give us a little bit of recap of how Mainland launch went and what you're working on now and what are the things that you're focusing on.
Hey, can you hear me, OK? Yes, sir. Yeah, the main net launch went really well. We have a lot of active players who have been giving us a lot of good feedback.
Just lately we've been working on like ease of use for users like an in-game tutorial system, cool down indicators, things like that.
Nice and how's the gears dynamics going? Are you guys good amount of action there? There's already teams forming and
a little bit of rivalry I guess going on, but I think it's a cool feature definitely. So how can people join a guild or get involved or what are the gears that you would recommend I guess?
Yeah, we have the game. If one people want to see how the guilds are created, it's tracked out.link/guilt and
Donkeys that they just renamed to Fractal Farm was the champion from the test net guilds and we have Flamish as well and a lot
of new guilds farming and the revolutionary is fun and people are teasing each other all the time and has been fun to see the
they be challenges and people talking with each other.
And about the main at lunch, always good. We have a lot of positive feedback. We are implementing various users suggestions and have many surprise planning for the future.
the first ones that we really want to get out is the online multiplayer before asking for it and we have also in the pipeline the addition of mini islands when you will be able to customize
I see an island, have mini games, and I myself, being Brazilian, as well as Rast, that is our artist. We are focusing on promoting the game Brazil, we just created a dedicated Twitter
accounts for Portuguese news about the game and we have many Brazilian users on our rent and having a direct channel to off-contact with them is very important to us. Amazing and we have a great Brazilian
And here with us, Mr. Fred, so you know, in case you guys haven't connected, I definitely recommend you doing so because he's you know can definitely help. Okay, amazing. We were yesterday in the Albertant Twitter space with him.
Amazing, amazing. Great to hear. A question from my end, the island seems very big. There's a bunch of territories against the map.
They're still locked. Can you give us a little bit of what's going to happen on the rest of the map? I mean, I guess many games, but, you know, is anything you can share on that side?
Yeah, we have a lot to share about this in the future, not right now, but as you know, we have other elements, monster elements, planet. And with them, we are going to open new places on the map to explore, like, Falcon.
The other forest, we have a middle-lads, we have a lot of other places that we are going to open with the drop of the other monsters elements.
Amazing. I guess we'll wait impatiently for future updates.
It's great to keep everybody waiting, I think it builds up momentum. So any other updates, any call to action you guys have for the community?
I see James is back as well, but thanks Nico for chiming in by the way.
Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, sorry connection issues, but just to add to the map thing we want to add dungeons in the future so some of those locations are like caves. So those will be dungeons where you can fight bosses together with teammates and your guilds. Some things coming really soon are going to be
the craftable spills and craftable items and we're also going to have the private island that we've been teasing so wait a it's a wait to upgrade your home and you can add different things like farming and fishing which is gonna be really cool. So those are the things coming pretty soon and then also we're gonna have PVP and dungeon coming in the next six months.
Alright, I love farming and fishing so basically you can farm and fish food so you can just get it without buying it on the market place, is that the rationale? Exactly, yeah. We want to tie it into some mini games but yeah that's the idea behind it.
And questioner, are you going to be able to enable people to bat items on the multiplayer and whoever wins wins the whole pot?
Yeah, bare minimum we want to have a mode where you can do PVP and maybe stake our wager like you know a certain amount of tokens and the winner can take all and then more
advanced features may be like group combat where it's two groups starting each other or even players wagering on matches between other players. So there's a lot of cool things we can do in the future with the token.
Amazing, very, very exciting stuff and thanks for sharing guys. Last question to you James, are you gonna be in Denver like last year?
Probably not possible. The Flimish team is not going in the fractal team as it isn't going, but it is only like 10 hours away so I could drive, but probably not, but we'll see.
I know you have a new born and by the way congrats and so you know I guess it's hard on that side but okay I guess you're gonna be great to hang out with you.
with the Flemish team. Thank you guys for the updates and as always keep grinding. I say love here. How has it going?
Absolutely. Why don't you share a little bit about what you do with the races and maybe a good call to action for the next race? Maybe for those out there that don't have a tiny horse
or super yours, maybe this could be the right time to get involved. But if you could spend a couple of words on that, that'd be great. Yes, sure. So if anybody doesn't know, I work for the Stobber Digital Studios, which has developed the horse racing Discord game. We're also connected on our
your website so you can check all your horse stats and everything from the RACE on Discord right on the website and you can log into your stable and see your name, your customized. So we really started with a full customization element and we just had another event with scully friends and Randy Cones. So back in Q&A,
We implemented a new racing collaboration feature where we can import the assets from other series across the blockchain in order to create events where everybody can come together in one spot, usually for a weekend, and they can go race each other and we have prizes and everything. So we just had one last week. We're probably going to have another
the end of the month, early March. Most likely, if you hold Algonons or Hoy, which is a 3DR project. In addition, we teamed up with the Algrant Foundation for engagement and participation awards. At the end of every contest, a couple of winners are selected via
based on a number of race requirements and they're able to win surprises just based on that. So, and then looking forward to, we just added new items into our inventory. So this is the first time that users can actually have a direct impact on the race outcome before that was pure RNG.
So we're sort of taking a new direction as a project where we're allowing for more strategy to be incorporated, which will eventually lead into fancy horse, which is our newest series of horses, which will continue to give the player a more custom race experience and custom vanity experience.
Amazing. Any hint please, at least you would love to give us some hints, like future roadmap and things like you can disclose.
Well, Jen is in the audience. I know how much I can actually disclose. But, um, so we have really some information. It's going to be a mint on demand. We're sort of going away from the traditional NFT dropout and going our own way.
We made our limitations on scaling with defining a collection size early. So we're kind of just going our own way and doing what's best for the project and just the space moving forward. When we started two tiny horse, which was our expansion series, the tiny horse, we were one of the first series
So I hope to continue progressing in the way that helps our project out, but also opens up new doors and ideas for other projects to follow. Oh, I agree. And I just want to give you a shout out for like, you know, overall, as you know, as poor members of the community.
ecosystem as a builder. I think you're just so precious. So thanks to you and thanks to General, of course. But last question that I have, I guess, is I know you have a few ideas and we often chat about them, about new tools
new infrastructure that can be built that can help us as a whole community to onboard new people. Any thoughts on that regard, anything you want to share, maybe even like call to actions for maybe some devs out there in the crowd or other people that maybe are looking to get involved?
Yeah, sure. So we started developing evil tools, which it's it's a meme that kind of developed within our discord. There's a few horses, what red eyes and we had that suits on so they became evil corporation and then it sort of it's it means it's way out into reality and we started building all these tools for the ecosystem itself.
We developed all these creator tools that basically makes a lot of the tasks for project management. There's one where you can just skim the blockchain data and gives you all the serious information. We have another one that's a mess and tool.
any wallet, any asset, any quantity as long as they're opted in. And we also have a bulk org 69 update, which was the pain of existence for almost every creator that didn't do a mesh gender development, where it was automatic. So we are trying to really simplify the process of
of building on Algorand and giving more creators that are looking to come in, basically the tech know how without having to note tech. And then on the discord side of things, we've developed a few bots. We have one bot that's connected to chat GPI that you could pay tokens that you buy and it basically spits out answers for you or generally
And then we also are developing another bot that basically shows all the token balances that you have across the ecosystem from all the community projects. And it also allows creators to send through Discord itself. So there's no need to go to your wallet or go to any other app. You could just send a link to your app.
tokens from any any of the approved ones right from discord. So we're really hoping to make building on Algarand a lot less tech set uh the need to build on Algarand a lot less tech savvy which we hope will help bring in new artists as you don't need to really have a dev anymore in order to carry out the more basic functions of running a project.
Yeah, and I think this is imperative overall as like we want to board new people, new developers that's you know, it's definitely one of the life-ending fruits that you know, we should all be working towards I guess maybe on the tooling side I can give you know community and update
We've been having Unity SDK in the pipeline for some time. We're hoping to announce it at the end of the month. Of course, it's also based on Unity because we're working with them. The SDK is currently going through a very, very far-ro and in-depth review. We had some
some critical errors that were found, but we're working on them and some of them are solved, some others are very soon to be solved, so hopefully we're going to be able to announce all of these formally at the end of the month. I just, you know, since none of you guys give me any alp or any hint or anything exciting.
I guess like, no, I'm kidding, but you know, I guess it's a good update I can give to the community. We're also, you know, we have an unrealistic in the pipeline that is taking a little longer. I also want to give a shout out to Jim from Ager for like, you know, just just the Alpov overall and the feedback he's been giving on this
particular tool. But yeah, so maybe I hope this gets everybody excited and definitely a way to onboard more game developers speaking of which a few of us from from the foundation are going to be a GDC, game developer conference in some
And if you happen to be there, if you're interested, it's definitely probably not the best gaming event of the year. So I highly encourage you to, if you can, to attend, because I think it's a
It's definitely a great event. All right, love. Any call to action anything else before we see it here? >> I think just overall in general, as a community, we really have to focus on the user interface and the user experience on the chain. I think the tech behind it, Algrant is amazing and we all know that.
But for somebody that's new and coming in, it can be burdensome to learn all the details of it and learn all the niche functions and everything like that. So just from us as a project ourselves, we're constantly looking at if I never used blockchain before, how would I get started. And I think that's a really good mindset for other projects and other creates to
So, as long as we keep focusing on just making things simpler, not needing to know as much coding, when I first got started on this, I had no idea how much tech work was actually behind it. So, seeing all that experience coming into play, I think that will be a great idea.
really help the next generation of people building on Algrant to have all these types of tools and just good user interface in order to, you know, just get started running. And I really think that the tech for Algrant speaks for itself, just the legitimacy behind the foundation and everything that you guys do. I think that is just a really, really good place to start building.
I couldn't agree more. And yeah, this is this imperative overall for us to to to scale the whole the whole ecosystem. And again, it goes without saying, but you know, I think you're spot on it. You know, there's just so much we can do foundation, but then like, you know, when it comes to products,
So definitely it's our task to enable developers to build in an easier and faster way. But when it comes to the actual product, it's up to the teams to make sure the actual product is usable and user friendly. So great point there, thanks a lot of
of course as always. Guess we're talking about race so maybe we can up to this circuit. I see you guys are there speaking of races. How's it going? You guys have any update for the community? Hey there, can you hear me alright?
Yes, sir. Okay, perfect. Yeah, great to be here. I'll go ahead and give an update. Talk about what we're working on. My name is Chip and Devon is the other co-founder of Z Circuit. He's in the audience here today as well.
So I'll give a quick overview of ZZercut just for those who don't know about it and then briefly talk about what we're working on. So ZZercut is a decentralized racing management game. ZZercut is an on-chain game that
We are making where you direct the strategy for races and seasons of races. So I'll mention that this is not a like reaction based driving game. It's a strategic racing management game. Yeah, I'll talk about the two
So the first component of Z Circuit is spectating where you watch races and spectating we want to be easy and simple to get started in. So when you spectate your
learn how the game works, you watch races and predict which cars will win the races, and then while you're doing that you are earning loot assets and then you can use the loot assets to obtain a car that you can enter into races. And that's the second
category of gameplay racing where you manage your car, your garage of cars, and then you enter races. And so that's what we're working on right now. The gameplay and car NFTs is what we're building out right now. So cars
they have stats, like for example max speed, acceleration, those sorts of things. They have experience points and levels and cars can be customized and equipped with parts and cars vary in rarity, which determines how powerful they can become. So yeah, right now,
We are, our update today is that we're building out the car NFC minting contracts. So these mincer on chain, so we need to generate the car stats and the car parts on chain so that you can swap your loot assets for
And as far as I call to action, if you want to keep up with what we're up to, follow us on Twitter. And then in our bio, we have links to our test and app where right now you can expect eight. That's all built up.
the specating that I described you can do that on testnet. Also in our Twitter bio is a link to our discord if you want to jump in and give feedback and then also check out our medium that's in our bio and that's essentially if you want to read about some of the specific
and internals and future plans. That's a medium is kind of where you want to, if you want to dive in deeply and kind of read documentation essentially. Thanks. That sounds great. Quick question on the cars. Is there any sneak peak of like how they look like?
or anything you guys are gonna share. Like on the design side. - No, no, if you have any feedback or ideas around the looks or cosmetics, we are definitely all ears for that. But we're working on the stats and kind of the core gameplay first on that.
Makes sense, absolutely. I guess people can take it to this call for feedback and whatnot, but very exciting and being looked at to the drop. Definitely great update on that side. Anything else to share?
No, thanks a lot. Yeah, please do join the Discord and let us know what you think. And if you have ideas about cosmetics, let us know.
Alright, I appreciate it man, thanks a lot and I guess we can go to Knights of Algorithm. How's it going guys?
Good to have you. Hey, what's up everybody? It's going great here. We're sorry, I've just put the hand back on. Sorry, yeah, great here. So for those who don't know us, we're the Knights of Alguranth and we started developing an RPG. So the general idea is that it's
Classic RPG with top down exploration, but then when you go into combat it goes into side view and it's a real-time combat So we started developing this and started sharing some some previews of the combat system and Soon we are going to release the voyeur
collection which is going to be all the spaceships and hoverers in the game and we also did a nice collab with the skate game so people who have skates they're going to have a hovering skate in the game so
Yeah, we really want to also push this idea like other other gaming projects have been doing. I think it's something really cool we can do as a community is to encourage like crosshuse of foreign
and give utility of other people's NFTs in our game. I think it's pretty cool. And also just now, just about a few seconds ago, we've just announced that Melt Gold is going to be the official currency of the game.
It's going to be the token used for the P3 aspect of the game. And as part of the announcement, in the full transparency, this changes also about
about making sure that the project is fully compliant for the US. So at first, at the very beginning of the project, we had envisioned the plant with air drops, but then it seemed, it was too difficult to fit this within the project.
So, the idea of being sure we're not, we are actually compliant in the US. So, we are moving the rewards plan into the game. And so, with this goal, this is going to be the actual currency in the whole RX-09 stellar system. And so, yeah, I think
I'm really happy with this concept of having RPG players actually earning real gold in a game. I think it's really fun and seeing all the history of all these awesome games where you earned gold coins.
I don't know if it's the first time or even if it's been done before, but I really like the concept of actually earning gold.
actual gold by winning quests by completing quests in an RPG. And so yeah, that's about it for us at the moment. We're grinding on development and and yeah, I hope we'll be able to release a first version very soon. We're going to be
releasing the game in increments. So first just the combat system so we can get feedback and really make sure people have something to play with as soon as possible and then the whole RPG aspect of the game is going to
to be built around it. And it's really going to be about, I guess it's an art-led project. It's more about creating a mood and it's about pixel art, so kind of
blending nostalgic art with more modern art like the more modern RPGs like Death Trash or Hyper Light Drifter and then mixing all that into our own aesthetics.
I love that man, that's great and I love the token setting. Definitely these times you're never safe enough, especially with what Gary is doing recently.
definitely I think good call. I guess a couple of questions in terms of question and whatnot. Are you or have you partnered with other games or any other NFT collections maybe for giveaways and whatnot and also make
maybe any other ASA or any other token out there. I'm thinking of a bunch of projects that partner with folks finance for GALGO, maybe some other tokens. So just wondering on that side.
For now, officially, we have the partnership with Mel Gold only, but we're always keen to do some fun stuff, like giveaways and whatnot.
stuff on social networks. So there might be a knight in the in the exam market giveaway, but it's not for sure. But yeah, and yeah, we always are happy to do stuff like that, but it's yeah,
is nothing official at the moment. Make sense and you know we we have foundation we're happy to support in case maybe you know support like you know the prices and what not it's something that we've been doing for you know for the past few months and you know as the it has resulted in some good traction and and results
So happy to chat maybe to give offline feel free to the MMI I love to support my guests and any last remarks. Any last remarks called to action for the community? Yeah, so if you are interested in the
Gold token coming to our discord. We're going to have a special giveaway to celebrate the recent announcements. We're going to have one gold for holders and one gold for new cards.
in the discord. So yeah, come over and you might win a gold token. So just for people who don't know, the gold token is equal to one gram of gold.
It's about 60 USD. Oh nice. That's pretty interesting and pretty appealing. So, you know, the guy is definitely go go join their discord and I think it's a great way to bring new people in.
I have a quick question. What is the relationship with like running the nodes and how does your project like kind of incentivize that? Right, right. So it's the second aspect of the project.
So the nights are about securing the network and earning gold for securing the network. So how this is done is so obviously it was a bit symbolic at the beginning, but with the project advancing,
implementing this in different ways. So securing the network is to do this. We help people who are not necessarily very technical to start their own node. And so with the idea that decentralizing
and security are tied in the in the algorithm in the way Algarand is built. And now the the the goal rewards in the game are going to be symbolically rewarding missions of nights going out in the in the steriosy
system and protecting the nodes and doing missions around that. And so, about the nodes, we did some workshops in the summer. And then now we are, we started a new initiative that's called the POP, proof of participation. And we started
started that with the ALO and the node keepers. So it's really a joint initiative, but with ALO building all the technical infrastructure and doing all the heavy lifting, it's really awesome what they're, what, what, so it's null.algo the developer really awesome what
he's been doing. So basically he developed NFTs. So it's like the circle that you can see around my picture. So it's derived from your NFD and basically it shows that you're running a node.
And so it's a way for people to have a kind of a price for running a node. And so we're just doing, like trying out different incentives to motivate people to learn
and even if you're not very technical, I didn't know anything about running nodes when I started the project and the idea was just talking to people and learning and participating in the network and helping others participate.
And so we have different initiatives. There's no, for the moment, there's no, there's not one evergreen incentive, but it's more like small initiatives are here and there to try.
the motivated people, but we're also thinking of maybe a way to do something more evergreen, maybe like a special like a special pixel art collection or like, I don't know, if you have ideas, I'm happy to hear them.
Yeah, I hope this answers your question and I'll just stop rambling. Yeah, thank you. So it sounds like the game is more about education versus like kind of
making like an abstraction like defy kingdoms on top of running notes right? Now the education side of things is really on our discord. So and the game is just a fun game.
to play. Oh, okay, cool. That's really awesome. I think as a project runner, it's like really nice having incentives to run nodes because we all benefit from it. So it's good.
Yeah, awesome. Thanks a lot.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm big fan as well, guys. It's a pretty cool initiative overall. So yeah, thanks. Thanks for sharing, guys. I think it's great. And definitely let's connect offline. I'm a love to learn more. And thanks for the question, Jim. I guess you know, you call yourself out. So your next and
Josh, I know you've been there for a while, so I'll pass it over to you after the meeting. That's okay. Okay. I mean, I guess if you want to talk maybe during, if you're okay with it, they've been waiting for a little bit. So maybe I cut the line. I think so, so, so, go.
I'm trying with me and I can't own that if you want to say something it's really not a problem for me.
It's okay, sure. I think you guys can go and then we'll let him, don't speak.
Okay, how you doing? Take it. Okay. Oh, good. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Great. Yeah. Now we are this this month. We are this you wait two key tasks. That's a character design, which you can see in our Twitter.
and the implementation of the SDK. Now, you just said something about Unreal and I need your help maybe with a little bit with that one because we're encountering some errors so if you have some time, the upcoming weeks, then maybe we can make an appointment or something. Is that possible?
Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, because we are getting the balance from this SDK. We founded on the Casimo Bashi from Algorand Inc. He told us that this SDK exists. So we went
to look for it also came in the algorithm channel. It's the, what is it? Wisdom Labs algorithm on real SDK. So we're trying to implement that. We get some errors, but we keep trying and trying, trying to make something else maybe. And, and character design. So that's the two things that we work in this month.
game logic, weapons and level design. Everything is already done. So it's a small piece that still need to be done. And then I hope we can start this play as soon as possible. That's the update for me then for today.
Amazing, thanks a lot for sharing and yeah, let's definitely connect offline feel free to reach out and thanks for picking the waiting I guess and looking for for more updates in the next in the next spaces. Yes, yes, we will have every time that we'll make new character.
make an update on Twitter so you can see the new character then and custom characters is coming after we launched the game because it will take some time also the marketplace takes some more time because of the situation in Turkey a lot of people died so a friend of ours that was
Mustafa is building the marketplace and two of his friends died there so I gave him a month off to deal with this losses and then after the month he will pick it up again so that's the reason why this marketplace is not finished yet. I'm so sorry to hear that and you know I mean they're
No, I'm not, you know, it's just... No, no, it's just... It is what it is. You know, you cannot stop this world's right from having a earthquake. It's nothing you can do about it. So, the whole team is in Turkey? Are you in Turkey? No, no, no, no, no, I live in the Netherlands.
But oh no, and Mustafa, these are two of my colleagues. They are they are living in Turkey and Max is also from Shoshan. He lives also in the Netherlands and then we have a level. We are really really everywhere around the world now everywhere some developed
people that help us, Algo Renfam family, it really has been a great help with us, always supporting, you know. So that's a great thing, that's why we love the Algo fam so much. Thank you and love back here I guess and you know, thank you.
building again I'm just so sorry overall but yeah thanks for frank for joining and for sharing yeah looking forward to more stuff coming from you guys yes for sure gee my guess it goes to you
Hey, can you guys hear me?
Yes, sir.
Okay, well, let's see I'm going to eat Denver so PG if you're there we should hang out all right, that's gum and you might
You might be able to try out our local, not our local, our multiplayer build before anyone else does. So, uh, alright man, looking forward to that.
I'm hoping to have it ready and with me so Victor can play remotely with someone if I if I can convince people to play and Let's see what else so recently I built it was it was cool
The evil horses talked about their tooling, their evil tools are really awesome for a lot of projects. It made me realize we should open some of our tools as well.
We polished one of ours and we're going to be doing it more and more over time, but the tool that we did, it's not as sophisticated as tiny horses in terms of bulk editing.
but it allows you to mint ARC, what is called ARC 19 and ARC 3 NFTs. So that's, I think a lot of people have a challenge with that and it allows
you to also edit them as well. And then it will automatically pin your assets to our IPFS. Right now we're in like a closed alpha experience. So it
if people want access to the tool because we want to like fine tune it before we let people go wild with it. Hit me up and we'll see if we can get you access. The other things that we're working on
is a version two of our sales site in our marketplace. The first one I did it was it was a little less I had some deadlines so I had to throw it together. So this new one it's gonna be a lot better a lot more
streamlines and we're going to basically do it and release it probably right before our closed beta launch which is going to be multiplayer, player versus player. So we're really
excited about that. The goal of that player versus player is that there will be three different legends to choose from. In Dubai there was only one legend available and I think for East Denver we're going
to have two and then you know with the closed beta we're going to have three. So it's a really exciting milestone for us and we're hoping that we can we can hit all the milestones well and then we
make it successful so people have a good time playing it and it's not riddled with bugs but it's the the challenge of game development is iteration. So another update is we were also going to do version two of our questing system.
And that the code is ready and I was gonna actually publish it this week, but we decided to hold off on it because we need to I think we need to plan better the release of our our agar
pool and our reward system to line up with our game launch. So I think we just need to be a little bit more strategic and have that aligned better with what our strategy is for marketing.
So that's the leads to the next big update, which is we onboarded a big marketing person. I'm not going to reveal who it is yet because
Like we're we're still holding off on that but they are they come from another successful card game company and they're helping us quite a bit so we're we're really excited about that
And yeah, so I'd from that everything is that's that's all the news we have. There's probably other stuff for forgetting it. So forgive me for that. Maybe I know I don't know if you want to spoil this game so maybe you know feel free to
to interact me and shut me down. But I know you guys were planning another initiative speaking of like you know big successful card games. I don't know. I'm ready to share that already. But you know what I'm talking about. I don't want to get like.
No, is it over for right now? Yeah, of course. Why would we not be friends forever? Come on Is that what you're referring to? Yeah, you will never be stupid. Yeah, sir. Sure. Sure. Can you can you move your stuff?
Nicholas is having always beautiful mole with their child right now. So let's all respect it. Yeah, sorry, I don't know who was talking, but yeah, I think you're clear now. Sorry about that.
That was me. You didn't know my voice changes. Oh, wait, what? Yeah, so right now we're actually running a magic, the gathering tournament and our idea behind it is that it's kind of
a way for us to practice the kind of the logistics of running a tournament for when we actually do start to close data. Because what we want to do for the people that have access is we want to run a tournament for our
game and you know have that going throughout you know the lifetime of our game. So this is kind of the practice is starting with a game that a lot of the people in our community love and it's very similar to our style. So for
I think we have 12 people and it's being run by Algo Kev from Algo Foundry and he's awesome. He's really done a great job. We just completed the first week, erring from the
The gaming guild shut down her opponent. I don't know who it was, but it was pretty brutal. Hopefully they didn't quit after she shut them out. And the prizes are going to be very exciting for all the participants.
So unfortunately, whoever wants to join now, it's too late because the doors are closed. But we're going to be streaming like the finals and the championship. So people can tune in when we get closer to that timeline.
Amazing, yeah, and Kevin is great. I think it's a great initiative overall also to onboard that type of crowd that is not necessarily like crypto-oriented. I think it's a cool initiative. All right, guys, I think we're at the hour.
Last time we stayed way longer, I got a jump soon. So if anybody wants to say, you know, last remarks, last things, I guess, speak now or if you want to come up, this is your chance. Otherwise, I guess, thank you, everyone, for being here.
Yeah, until the next one in March, which will be announcing. And then if you're in Denver, feel free to reach out and great to hear Jim. You're going to be there if anybody in the crowd is going to be there. Pingas, happy to meet in person in real life. And yeah.
Right. See no action and no less remarks. Oh, there you go. Go for it. All the stars. I'm putting you on the spot. When are you going to have some tournaments for people?
Yeah, wait wait, can you say that again Jim? Sorry
i want alvotars to start torn amends oh man yes i love that
Our game is going to have multiple leagues of tournaments from bronze, you know, bronze silver gold platinum masters.
You'll have to have one of the lower ones to be able to participate in a higher one.
If you win, your profile will earn more alvacoin staking the higher you win. Is that good enough for you, A-hole?
We'll see. When we have a little more information about the tournaments, we're going to definitely get people's input. Let's talk about it after or let's talk about
later we can help each other. Yeah and down to do a Twitch stream guys as well maybe we can play together and you know shoot the shade as well in the meantime but yeah keep us posted and I still have to
to defeat you guys. So yes, that's on my mind. All right. Well, thank you. I appreciate having me. Thank you. Absolutely. I see. Stango.algo. Last minute request. How's it going?
- Good, thank you. I just wanted an off-dirt was gonna be an update from the smile team. I see that they're on here, but I don't think they've said anything or if they did, I missed it.
They have not I invite them on stage I guess we can call it stage. It's my team if you guys want to hop on. This is the time or you know otherwise we let me invite them again.
Because I invite the main profile, I don't know if there's people from the team with their own accounts, so it's harder. Let's see if they join. Yeah, this is how you're going to go to hear me. Yes, sir. Oh, there you are.
Good, good. How are you? How's it going, man? Good. Great. Thank you for joining. Yeah, reporting here from sunny Southern California. So we're down here. We've been working heavily. Me and Como have been working heavily on the proposal that
I guess we're going to chat with you about later this week for our Grin gaming and Grin data slash smile coin proposal. So things are really exciting things are coming on our horizon from the smile coin team.
community members know we have something huge under Horizon lining up which is we're partnering up with our green data ecosystem which is creating something on the sports e-sports and you know the gaming ecosystem and that smile coin can potentially
plug-in to, but we used our experience at Green Gaming to actually plug in that into other sportsbooks, other people who do similar business as Green Gaming and potentially smile corn.
It can be that currency. Our smilecoin SDK has been not getting as much traction since the market conditions have been as helpful right now, but that's actually turning right now. We have a couple of partners that are super excited to start using the SD
some as a form of a payment gateway for their gaming platforms and some are using it as a rewards layer. So that's pretty exciting actually because it starts creating traction for these gaming platforms that are similar to green gaming
especially in the sports vetting and sports skill-based gaming space to just start using smilecoin and potentially as we scale our vision through green gaming and green data with other platforms through our licensing
platform that we're working on from green data, a smile coin will be fitting in that ecosystem. So it's a super exciting time on our end. The market is definitely not helping us right now, but believe it or not, we're really surviving and we're going through it very strongly. We're getting
amazing traction right now from other entities, from investors like never before because the technology is novel. And also the roadmap from a Web 3 standpoint, we do have on the longer kind of the medium term in
incorporating NFTs gaming, NFTs, if anybody is familiar with our green gaming, a small corn partnership with the Beaming Turtles that will be coming back in early Q2. We're going to start minting NFT rewards.
Through our smile corning infrastructure, like just as a small example not to eat up more time here, but like imagine you're playing with a turtle or racing with a turtle and you break into new levels and then you can eventually mint that
So we're developing all of this technology through our SDK to similar partners. So again, I don't want to eat up so much time. We're really, really excited to work with you guys, me and Cuomo. So I'm sure we're going to chat soon. And again, thank you so much for having me.
I'm sure Miir Komal will be able to make it to eat Denver to meet in person and have a beer. Thank you guys. Right on man. Thanks for the update and I'm actually you know I mean Santa Barbara so not that
from each other so maybe when I come down to a lane we can even meet in person. When and if I don't have it planned anytime soon but if not before if Denver then maybe after and looking for a meeting person. Amazing. We're down here in the betters.
be more than happy to write in person. Yep. Right on, right on. Cool. Alright, thanks. Thanks for the update. Stango, I hope that answered your question. Um, I were at the hour, guys. Uh, you know, thanks, thanks for joining. Uh, thanks to all the speakers.
Stay tuned for the next one. Please go follow all these amazing projects. Join their Discord, get involved, get engaged. It's the best way also, especially if you're a newcomer to the ecosystem, best way to get involved. Thanks for being here, guys. Until the next one.
And thank you, Fred, of course. How could I forget? Thank you. Amazing, Fred, for putting this together and many, many hearts to you. Let me send you a couple of hearts. There you go. Well, the serve. All right. Thank you, guys. Have a great one.
