TL:DR
Get ready for some thrilling updates! We’re prepping exclusive content for influencers to share, gearing up for an Epic Games listing, and diving into Binance support programs. Plus, our AI avatars are getting even more realistic, and we’re heading towards the final stages of testing for the Alpha release. Check out the sneak peeks of our alien biome and get involved in our upcoming DAO votes!
Studio Update
We are preparing exciting content of our latest developments for influencers to showcase. These influencers, eager to gain early access, will debut new content to the public as part of their ambassador roles. While we continue to update the community on our progress, we are also creating exclusive behind-the-scenes footage to enhance the influencer onboarding experience.
We have completed most of the processes to be listed on the Epic Games launcher. Next steps are to upload our builds to their portal for testing and approval. Keep an eye out for the link to our official NetVRk page!
We have also begun the application process for Binance’s diverse range of support programs. By participating in these programs, we aim to enhance our community engagement, strengthen our ecosystem, and foster sustainable development.
Development Update
We are thrilled to announce that we have entered the final polish and testing stages. The main feature to be polished are the AI avatar interactions themselves. As we take the additional steps to polish the AI feature, more gameplay elements around the driving and shooting experiences are being completed in parallel.
See sneak peeks below of our alien biome development. This area will serve as the level for our shooter gameplay testing.
AI Update
The team has been actively engaged in the development of an AI application, facilitating user communication with Archetype Avatars AI and various NetVRk persona AI. This project represents our dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance user interaction within our ecosystem. By enabling users to create their own AI entities, we are opening up new possibilities for communication, product sales, and interactive experiences within both web and 3D environments. This capability is a game-changer, allowing users and brands to generate engaging content and foster deeper connections across the NetVRk platform.
As much as we feel our trained LLM is impressive in the realistic conversing with the AI, what we continue to do is strive to polish the realistic visuals to accompany the digital life that’s being created. Specifically being a dynamic system of animations and interactions tied to responses and personality of any future AI avatars.
Blockchain Update
In the past month, we previously asked you which marketplace we should add the Mine Runner Axe collection to, and the overwhelming response was in favor of Rarible. We’ve initiated contact with Rarible to get our collection launched, but we’ve encountered a few challenges. One significant piece of feedback from Rarible was that there aren’t enough owners of these NFTs.
To address this, we have two approaches:
- Mint Your Crafted Axes: If you’ve crafted axes in the Mine Runner game, we encourage you to mint them. Visit this link, select your best axe, and mint it. We are covering the minting fees, so it’s completely free for you.
- Upcoming Contests: We will soon launch various contests with axes as prizes. Keep an eye out for these events, as some will feature high-ranked axes that you won’t want to miss.
Community Update
In our previous Devlog, we introduced potential DAO proposals and sought your input before proceeding. The responses to the first two proposals – “Receiving NFT Staking Rewards exclusively in $NETVR” and “Distribution of unclaimed rewards to eligible recipients” – were overwhelmingly positive when shared on X. Encouraged by your feedback, we’re now gearing up to launch separate DAO votes for each proposal in June, granting you the ultimate decision-making power. If approved, these proposals will take effect immediately, impacting Q2 staking rewards.
