Hello, hello everybody. Let's just give it one more minute. It seems that we had smaller technical issues with Twitter spaces. So let's just give it a little second for everybody else to join in. First of all, let me say
everybody already in the spaces. Please feel free to share the Twitter spaces with your friends and others that may be interested in today's topic. If you take a look in the bottom right corner, this
is this big blue button saying that you can tweet about it. So please feel free to tweet about the Twitter spaces that we're having today with Metafora. And also there's this
share button on the top so you can always share it via DM with your friends and everybody else. Cool, as I said let's just give it a minute.
and we will then start with the spaces. Check, check. Hello guys. Hey, hey, hey. I think I think we're done. Finally.
I think I'm getting some signs from some other wordly forces that I should probably get a new phone because the previous space is linked just for some reason doesn't go through so yeah
created a new link here. Great, thank you. Let's do it one more second here.
and then we can start. I see the Quake 2 logo on Avatar. Just today we spoke about our
youth and how we yeah how we've been playing in Quake 2 on DM1. Quake was really popular back in the day. I remembered that my generation was really all about unreal
tournament and Counter Strike 1.6 that was the games that was fun.
I think that we're probably ready just so we don't wait for too long. First of all, let me just say hi to everybody one more time. Thank you for joining the Twitter spaces with Boba Network and our friends
from Metaphora here. So my name is Blendor. You probably know me as the voice behind a lot of these spaces here and also the digital marketing manager at Anya.ai which is the core contributor to the project.
the global network. Today I have two special guests. Let me first start with introducing the first one. So with me is Anwar from the project, the Metaphora. I always pronounce it differently.
So what's the correct pronunciation for everybody listening on this on this faces right now? Metaphor is okay. Because in Slovenia is Metaphora and then it's Metaphora and then I always say Metaphora and I always use a different
different pronunciation of the name. So Metapora should be okay. Yeah. Okay, great. Anuar, can you please introduce yourself and what do you do? What's your work at Metapora?
Hello everyone, thanks for having me today here. Nice to meet you all. I'm on one. I'm CEO of Metafora. Metafora. Both is okay. I'm not the only one from Metafora.
team today our BDM Arthur also with us hi everyone so I can command metaphor and metal for one what time because the
The first idea was metaphora. During the project we decided that we will have two tokens and one of them called Meta and second one called Fora.
It's like you call to our tokens. So it is absolutely okay That's it I Love I love the idea about your name being combined from two
two different names and you know if you put them together you get like one name that that's a really really cool thing it reminds me a lot about you know cartoons I used to watch a lot of Dragon Ball Z so
when they merge together like Goku and Vegeta, you know, they're Vegeta and Goku. There's not a lot of talk about cartoons and video games, but somehow all of these tie in into what we're going to
talk about today. It's not only games and cartoons that we are discussing here. We're going to do a deep dive into our recent integration of Metaphora on the Bova Network and what does this mean for the both community
communities. So just so everybody knows we'll be also taking any questions. So if you guys have any questions, please feel free to write them down under the tweet for this Twitter spaces and we will check them out at
the end of today's spaces. Also feel free to check us both on Twitter so you know any follows or highly recommended in case you want to stay in touch with us.
But yeah, just so everybody is on the same page for also for all of those who don't know Meta for Anuard. Can you tell us a bit more about what exactly Meta fora is and what was the point that got you
to that led you to the co-founding of metaphor. Yeah, thanks Blender. That's a real good question. So I've always wanted to create a product that will be used by
people and people will love. And I've been a software engineer for years at the same time. In 2018 I've established an IT company. It's called More and that was focused on Web2 products.
Primarily. So I have a wife and she's a 3D artist and she has been involved in development of lots of games for different games, studios for years. And our co-founder, Abzal, Dive, Tintu Blockchain, World, and
2015 when she was buying Ethereum for only one dollar per coin. So after that she had been primarily focusing on mining. So one day I decided to combine all these expertise and came up with ideas to
start building games on blockchain. We called company Metafora and started creating games. Yeah, all more development team had been transferred to Metafora. So now we're at this point.
creating a blockchain games. Yeah, that's really nice if you have an artist nearby yourself especially of the artist. Yeah, it's your wife.
It's probably a really interesting dynamic, especially because you can get to know the team better. I think if it's your wife, you're already pretty good.
Actually this point for everybody who's listening and doesn't know Boba Network, I'm just going to give you a quick overview of who we are and what we do. So Boba Network is a blockchain layered to scaling solution.
and the hybrid compute platform that offers lightning fast transactions and fees that are up to 60 times less than ethereum ones. When we are talking about blockchain layer 2 scaling solutions,
Boba Network is actually the first and only multi-chain L2. So this means that we are on our way to fulfill our mission, which is
bringing the next billion of users to blockchain and we do so by scaling other EVM compatible layer one blockchains also when I mentioned hybrid compute
So hybrid computers are technology that we have developed and we're really proud of it and think of it as hybrid compute a way to connect the old the web to world Together with the endless possibilities
So Hybrid Compute brings data and the power of Web2 on-chain. So with Hybrid Compute you can leverage off-chain computation and the real-world data to create
Smart, smart contracts. I love it. Like, not that they're only smart, they get even smarter with hybrid compute. And this way we allow developers to create enriched experience and just
go and figure out new different use cases for blockchain all over the world. So yeah, from Boba, two metafora, we have worked together now, we have
done an integration of Metafora to global network and people are asking now what are the different features of Metafora like what does Metafora offer to users of different blockchains?
Metaphor started from the first game in Merch genre.
So it's called Futurata. And it is another one strange name, strange title, Futurata. And for instance,
our advisor Sam from Metain Kubator told us many times that this very very strange title future out the why.
When I come up with a core idea of the first game, I've been thinking how structures and architecture will look like in the future. So it is also a combination of two words like future and structures.
So this is our first game and I can tell you more about this game. By the way, we will have a 5 games in our game ecosystem in 4 years.
So, future actor, it is an nerd general. Basically, the main mechanics that user needs to combine identical objects to get higher level objects. This is a core. Maybe by this description,
listeners think that it is a hyper-casual game, but it is not. We are positioning future up, there is a merge and strategy game, and that's why. Resource Manager is a crucial part of the game
In the case of the company, the company is a very important company.
which are in balance. For instance, to start work at the smallest mine, drone needs 5 energy and 15 seconds. One of the work is done, the mine gives 6 small pieces of silicone which can be merged into bigger pieces of silicone.
silicone and one small. Reward for this action is experience energy time happens increase. And this is just a little example. Futurata has lore. It has its own world that is the basis for all our game and the system.
long story short feature act is a simulation grandson quantum computer. Keana created it and sell sent nail on and sit there. So feature act the characters with their own wishes and orders.
For instance, nail loves candies, one loves coffee and seed, the cat, everything with a fish. And the feature actor has a story and evolution. It starts from the very tiny piece of an open area and with every player's
action becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and step by step player opens new islands new characters building production buildings banks etc. After a few attractive players having fun and game process and able to earn money at the same time
time. Speaking of integration process with Boba Network blockchain, it was a great experience. We had absolutely full documentation and
I think we spend a very, very small amount of time to get the integration done. So now the feature actor
runs on boba network. So basic mechanics looks like user earns coins in the game. So this
coins, user will be able to mint on boba network blockchain via his profile.
I mean, there are a lot of feature of features will be added and already have. I think I'll speak about them a bit later. I want to
ask Arthur to tell us a bit about our second game. It is a card game. So Arthur, please. Okay, thank you, Anor. Yes, so we all just heard a bit about our first game
feature-ruptor which is a merge game and the game is actually released and is available for download both in App Store and Google Play but we are also working on our second game which is a card game you know in terms of mechanics it's much like
a heartstone of Blizzard. I do want to throw big names there, but just one of the closest games that I could think of at the moment. So basically what ties all our games in the meta for
universe is that you know we all games share the characters and all of the all of these games they are set within the metaphor universe and each of these worlds is a computer genre
created reality, you know, digital reality. And harvest the duality, that's the name that we gave to the second game is not the final version, it's kind of more of a working title and I guess we might
changes in future and maybe again go for some play of words like we did with Metaphora and future Rooka we'll see. But anyway so in terms of game mechanics you know you players get to choose a set of cards
from the total amounts and then they basically fight against other players. And all of these cards, they have unique features, they have buffs, they have debuffs, they have certain attributes that could be altered.
And that would make the game so much fun. And also, we have spent quite a lot of time searching for references. And we were able to play some of the really nice games out there. And we are proud to say that we are not just
you know, trying to reimagine what others have done, but instead we are adding a lot of our own solutions. And that's why in many ways our game is going to be a very unique
very unique one and you know we are currently working on an MVP and hopefully very soon we will release the game in its alpha version available for testing.
This is really great to hear. I know how hard it is to create a game. I have a couple of friends who are in the game development business themselves. Just trying to get an MVP something starting
from the ground up is really hard. Let alone to actually bring this game to Google Play and to App Store and to be live. So I mean, congratulations for my end for successfully taking future Rukta from an idea.
and actually onto the app stores. Again, for everybody listening to this space, it doesn't matter if you have an Android or an iPhone, just go to your app store and look for a future RACTA.
This is FUTURUCTA. You can also go and check out Metaphora's Twitter account and you will get all of the links there. And of course, if you have any questions, feel free to write them in a tweet
under this Twitter spaces and we'll be sure to check them out at the end of this space. Getting back to the games, so you have Future Rector which is a merge game and you also have Harvest the Duality
that is this card game still in progress. Maybe if you can just share a bit with us, like, are there any links between the two games or these like separate games or
Will the lore connect via multiple games? Or are you guys trying to do maybe like a multiverse here or something like that? Yeah, basically all of the games we'll be sharing the characters.
The setting is pretty much different in most games, but our users, they will be able to distinguish the characters from who are sort of jumping from one game to the other.
another character is like Neil, like Una and others. And you know, I think we all think it's a fun experience to see your favorite characters, you know, being featured in games with completely different
genres, you have them in a merge game, then you have them in a card game, then you have them in an idol, and sometimes soon you will see them in a triple A shooter, some kind of stuff. So we think it's a fun experience really.
It's a great experience, especially for me who already has an addictive personality, so now you're going to get me invested in one other multiverse type of thing. No, this is awesome to hear, especially what I really like about
the whole project is the variety that you guys are providing with all of your games and the fact that you are thinking, you know, into the future and what else can you provide to your players and to like
everybody else in this space. Of course, maybe we didn't mention, but these are all play to earn games that are connecting themselves into one bigger, larger ecosystem. Maybe if you can just
give us a couple of ways in how users are able to reap the rewards in these play turn games. Yeah, thank you. So some cool features that are coming
very soon to feature actor. Everyone will be able to buy our governance token meta, earn and stake our utility and governance token right in the game using the bank building. So users will be
able by NFT scans and powerboost to get different game improvements. And all of this right in the game. I mean, we will have a bank building. User will be able to click on it and
the model will appear and there will be a two options, earn token or stake token. So all these features that users
Usually, we have in the interface, we have right in the game, and I think that it is a cool feature. The second point that the feature-rept has a single-player mode,
by default that features a leaderboard. So we expect that up to 50 players will be rewarded on a weekly basis with the utility token for a. First three places will be rewarded with the governance token meta.
And third point the feature of that has a multiplayer mode with tournaments. We expect that up to 10 players will be rewarded with the utility it's talking for when torrent
and first three places will be rewarded with the governance token meta. That's all about Futurata. Erning process in
card game will be described a bit later I think maybe two or three weeks. Okay this is this is now getting really interesting so
Depending based on how good of a player you are, you will also get a chance to earn either utility tokens, either governance tokens. You have games that are basically set in the same universe with recurring characters.
I mean, all of the things that we've been talking about right now also brought up quite some questions. Anwar Arthur, what do you think? Should we check out what the people have to say?
Okay, great. So again, for everybody else before I start with the questions, if you have any other questions, you know, feel free to share it with us in the
the first question comes from user lucky_chann_09 which says trust is very important in any
business. Can you tell us about what makes investors, customers, and users feel safe when working with your project? We'll come here.
Not for quick money. We want to create a product. We want to create a system. We want to build games, people will love. And to be honest,
I want to provide a great game experience and I want to develop an ecosystem. I want to have different integrations.
And I think that's it. So all investments that we will raise and we've already raised are going to our product development.
Speaking of product development, we're moving quite fast, I think. One more thing that we have a team.
Development team, backend developers, front end developers, blockchain developers, marketing team, business development, and all of these guys.
are in our team. So I love this team. I've been working since 2018 from
2018 with this team and we're extending year after year, year by year and
Good relationships with people, karma, etc. is absolutely important for me.
I've been driving not for not of money.
I didn't come in this world for only money. I want to create a product that people love. So this is my mission.
That's it. That is a great answer. Thank you so much for this explanation. You were talking about experience, which in my personal opinion is a very, very important thing, especially
when we are dealing with these new products and new services and new spaces as the blockchain space. Speaking of experiences, we have a question here from
user called Hafizur B84, which is asking many projects have problems with user interface user experience and this turns off new users. How do you
plan to improve the interaction with new users and with users outside the crypto space. Do you have maybe like any specific plans solutions on how to improve how to better the user experience on blockchain
games? Yes, that's a great question. And we addressed that question to ourselves on daily basis. And right now we are working on the UI and on UX and UI components actively.
And I can tell you the following. So speaking of the product, speaking of the game, future Raptor, when we started developing it, we had this idea in our mind that we want to make it as clean
And as user friendly, so that even people who are coming from a non-cryptop background would be able to play. And that way, because we see that
we basically divided the target audience into parts. So the first would be people with the crypto background who are familiar with many different crypto games. And the second half is just regular
regular people who do not have any crypto knowledge. So basically what we are trying to do, we're trying to bring a very clean and simple UI but at the same time without compromising on the design. And we are rolling out
some major UI updates within 10 days, I believe. We are constantly checking what our community has to say. We are reading the comments and we are doing our best to
make their experience better. And I can add, as I mentioned, we've added a feature in feature-roaked game, right in the game.
So users' players can buy our meta tokens right in the game. So we have a donate button. Clicking on it, the model appears and user
We'll see three options like seed private in public and choose the right package either wants to buy or the second example like bank as I mentioned
Also, click on it, user can earn or stake right in the game. So these two examples are all about the improving UX and get the
experience that users usually have in desktop or web interfaces. So we have them right in the game.
And we will continue working on that, providing cool features. I mean, we will have farming. I think
in three weeks like this. So, yeah. Awesome. I mean, from what interaction that I had with you guys, you guys are working really fast. I really enjoy this.
And of course you are building not only a singular thing, but you are building something bigger here. As we've mentioned earlier, you are building like an entire universe with different types of games, which is really, really awesome thing to do so. There's been also a
a couple of other questions, just maybe because a lot of the questions are asking kind of the same thing. If you guys want to know more about the project, please feel free to check out their Twitter account, check out their website. If you go to www.metafora, this is
META like meta and FORRA.com so metafora.com you can find more information about all of the games that are already live so if you're a RACTA you get links to download on App Store and
Google Play and you will also get information about upcoming games such as harvest of duality and much more to come. Also all of the information on where to buy the token, what types of tokens there are, you can find them on their website. So go and check them out.
just so I tell people because there's been a lot of same questions asking. So yeah, there is a question from Rick Jonathan, which is asking
What strategies does your project use to position itself and grow its community of players and strengthen it? What are the advantages that allow you to stand out in the market? So this is a loaded question, maybe just let's split it in
into two different questions. So let's say the first question is, what kind of strategies are you using to position yourself? This is more or less a marketing question. What is Metaphora doing for the people to get to know Metaphora better?
So basically we position ourselves as a game 5 metaverse meaning you know group making games that enable players to earn crypto and since we are primarily
Well, since we are active in the crypto space, we have run a bounty campaign which has brought some good feedback from our users and it allowed us to get some initial user base.
to be honest we had a lot of bugs and we picked them all. Yeah, of course we had bugs and that was one of the biggest goals. So we had people reporting on bugs and we were fixing those bugs.
just a regular routine for us. And second, right now we are running an air drop actually and everyone can join the air drop problem. It will last until the end of the month and if anyone is
interested then you know you guys can just go on to our Twitter or Telegram or any other maybe Discord channel and check it out you know there's information there and apart from Boundaries and AirDrops we are also utilizing
using some, well quite a few channels on Telegram, we're letting everybody know about our projects. We do have some plans in terms of VR, in terms of attracting
influencers and we are sort of doing it step by step. Right now we are focusing on the Southeast Asian market and we are starting from there so we will have some local influencers helping us spread the
word about the game and we also plan to do some traditional sort of marketing you know with the targeted ads and context ads so there you know we got a lot of plans too bad we do not
have our marketing director here with us. I guess he would be able to share some more information, but as much as I know, we do have quite a lot of activities planned. That's the answer for the first part of the question.
I love it how we start with a simple question and we'd like to take a really deep dive. I really appreciate it. This is, you know, great information. Yeah, the second part of the question was basically how to grow
the community of players and strengthen it and the advantages. But I think that you already somehow answered it during the spaces and in the last question. For everybody on this basis that is asking themselves what can Metaphora do to
introduce the games to the community. The easiest way is if you, the listeners, introduce the games to communities by simply playing them, sharing them with your friends. From my experience in marketing, the easiest
way is just to get people to try your product and to be vocal about it. At the end of the day, if you have a good product which you guys have because I have played your games, they're actually really fun. Then, you know, if everybody
enjoys it, it's way more easier to market it. So yeah, we are currently almost about to wrap it up just before we go. I would like to know Anwar, Arps are there and new things that
you would like to share from a tough or a side, maybe any alpha, even though you have dropped like a ton of alpha during this space already. Thank you, weather. So we are constantly improving our ecosystem to excited out.
users. We have five games on the road map. The last one will be triple A game as Arthur said. Also a lot of improvements for NFT marketplace are planning. What else? We are going to
talking to 2449 to Singapore in the end of the month and in October will be in Dubai because a lot of our friends from all over the world are going
to be in Dubai in October. Our partnerships are growing, our user base is growing. We're about to close seed rounds now, having negotiations for private rounds and
reaching now the launch parts to get the idea before the end of the year. Yeah, I think on the helicopter view we have
this plans. In early 2023, we will start the third game. It will be a quest game, quest general.
So let's see. This is amazing. Usually when I'm on these calls, you know, there's just like, oh, we're building something. And I'm like, okay, cool, we're building something. But you guys already have one game under the belt, one in the
going and starting on the third one in early 2023. I mean Kudos, it's really something to be proud of. I mean, I have basically heard what I wanted to hear as
And I've also learned a lot of new things. So I think you both are more and harder for being on the call today on this basis. It was a pleasure as always. And maybe some last words for everybody here in the spaces before we wrap up.
Yes, we would like to thank everybody for being here with us, for listening to us. We promised to do our best to bring you guys the, you know,
good games, really quality games because we believe that even answering the previous question in terms of spraying the word about the game and all that, we believe that the product should really
itself. So our strategy is, you know, we are trying to build good games and we believe that the games will promote themselves in a way. And yeah, that's that's the message that we wanted to send you guys. Thank you all. Thank you.
Thank you all guys. Thank you. Thank you Blender. Thank you Alisa. Thanks to Alisa who's working hard in the background. You're right maybe we don't mention her enough about Alisa here's your 15 second
of fame. Nevertheless, we've talked a lot, but I think that the best thing to do would be just to go and check out Metaphora on all of their social media channels. So there's Twitter, there's Discord, they also have
a Telegram group. Feel free to check out their website Meta4a.neta.org for more information on their projects and upcoming games. Also, if you like what you're hearing here, just
just give a follow on Boba Network's Twitter account, we'll be organizing more and more of these Twitter spaces. And we would be really happy if you joined for the next one as well. Thanks everybody for your time and hope to talk to everybody soon. See you. Goodbye guys. Thank you.
