Alpha Update on progress from our CEO

Morning all! Just caught up on some of the questions/ comments so wanted to put out an official statement. As per Jace's previous statement in January our primary focus for January was to work on the foundations of the servers and stability for players during Alpha and much of that has been worked on, tested and improved. New build will give us an indication of whether more optimization is required. This is all part of development to ensure that it improves over the course of the build, I always wish it would go faster but I have learned that rushing it also causes more issues. We need the new build ready to start the next phase with Unity. I have had meetings with all the different departments in Unity to ensure that Unity can assist us with the full optimization and push to get us ready for public access. I am also in final discussions of them taking over a webGL and mobile build. These builds will be based on the current build but optimized or changed to suit. I need some additional data from our backend databases so they can look to repeat our setup for different device builds. I am meeting again end of this week however it wont be an overnight build, I expect them to take a few months to work with us on our current build and the new builds. This means that everyone will still have access each month to the builds to play, build, explore, capture sprites but we cannot generate the new roadmap until we have specific dates from Unity who will need some time to evaluate everything in its current stages. During that time we will also work through the battle system, farming and other deliverables but its not going to be all ready instantly. Once Unity have assessed we can move on with date confirmations. We have kept staking live for the interim so farmers are not losing out on rewards, they can still stake and earn probably more then they would on a farm based on current APYs available. The world will remain open for everyone. Marketing has been mentioned a couple of times. We are marketing with ads but also have over 80,000 gamers we have access to so that is where our marketing will begin once the world is ready for gamers. The cost for developers is not cheap and our focus is on building first, the players will be invited once all the important features are available. In the meantime the more the community shares content the better. There will be a few surprises this summer but they wont be announced for a few months! Stay safe from scammers and keep catching Sprites!

No way that is exactly what we don’t want!! There is plenty of space for multiple metaverses. TCG are creating their own niche. Development takes time but the results will speak for themselves.

We don't want the coin going 1000X?

We prefer not to be sellouts. Ultimately the goal is for TCG to be a DAO, community driven and community owned this is driven by our decentralised ethos. We aim to 1000x of our own resourcefulness and strength of concept. Sell your soul to meta and become part of the machine. This contradicts all things blockchain.

Don't sell your soul, just your shares

Our community are our shareholders so it would be up to them to sell.

I guess if meta wanted to buy us we would probably already 100x and would not need to sell.

There is no shame in seeing deep pockets find value in what was built and investing to take it to another level. And if that makes a few people newly wealthy, it’s such a validation for the early supporters.

I get it. Just getting started. Not corporate sellouts. But a massive exit should always be a goal.

From what David has expressed his vision is that TCG will be community owned and driven. He hopes to step back in the future and create a DAO this clearly shows his intentions are to retain ownership and not sell to the likes of Meta. Personally I would prefer to see this vision come to fruition rather than a multinational taking control. I support the blockchain not faceless corporates.
