STAR ATLAS | GUIDE HOW TO SELL NFT SHIP FOR $5M

Star Atlas faced a major liquidity crunch following the FTX crash. More than half of their funds are “stuck” on the exchange. Funds for the operating system were reduced from 20 to 9 months. November 12 CEO Letter.

And against this background, a large-scale sale was announced a week later. Who will save Star Atlas? VC? Who will throw a lifeline and who did you decide to turn to at such a critical moment? To the community. Well ... Let's look at the proposed conditions.

Over the course of two months, we will see four NFT sales from Star Atlas. Sale of ships, Claim Stakes, Land Claim and the most important and stunning sale of titans in the first place for its price tags.

Titans with a starting price of $5 million!! per unit, but the developers generously offer an 80% discount for the first week. Titanium will cost the buyer $ 1 million if it has time. The sale will last 4 weeks, with each week the discount will decrease by 10%.

Star Atlas is an MMORPG based on the Solana blockchain, powered by Unreal Engine 5, in a sci-fi setting. Players are invited to explore space, fight for resources on the planets and strive for political domination. The game involves DeFi, DAO, all sorts of different web3 goodies and a complex open economy. One of the most ambitious, complex and large-scale non-infrastructure projects in the crypto industry, the full release of which, in our opinion, will take 7 years or more.

The code developer of the project is Sperasoft, a well-known company in the gaming industry, in whose portfolio there are many joint AAA titles with industry giants Ubisoft, EA, etc.

More and more doubts are creeping in whether the team will be able to get through this perfect storm or whether Star Atlas will turn into Star Citizen on the blockchain, and not EVE online.

EMBER SWORD ANNOUNCED THIRD TANABUS CUP AND GAMEPLAY VIDEO LEAKED

If Star atlas still wins the title of long-term construction, then Ember Sword deserves an order in this discipline. We have been following the project since 2018.

I like their desire to rethink the MMORPG genre, innovate and not follow the path of Axie Infinity, but we have been waiting too long for their pre-alpha. Moreover, there was an impression that from mid-2019 to April 2020 the project seemed to be frozen, and only after that they conducted pre-seed for $700k and the project came to life.

They probably burned stocks in the last crypto winter and were looking for investors, and only at the beginning of the bullrun they were able to find them. The same thing will happen to some in this one, and many will have to shift the roadmap ...

So, the developers have announced the third Tanabus Cup, which starts on November 29th. This is a community building activity on Discord. Players are promised more impressions from the event, more cool broadcasts and more prizes. A good case for those who want to learn more about what to do with a Discord server.

Ember Sword also leaked gameplay videos from Pre-Alpha and some WIP content. We were shown the main combat mechanics, characters and location design.

Ember Sword is an ImmutableX sandbox MMORPG set in a medieval setting with steampunk-styled graphics and an isometric view. The game was developed by Bright Star Studios.

There are decent investors on board: Bitkraft Ventures, Mechanism Capital, Play Ventures, Galaxy Interactive, web3 celebrity angels from The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, etc.

WHO DOES NOT KNOW MONI? EVERYONE KNOWS MONI!

Or almost everything. ; )

In short, our friends at Moni are launching a collection of 200 Moni Wizards NFTs, and we are incredibly excited to share this news.

This is such a friendly shilling, I wanted to support the guys in their difficult business and in such a market. Be that as it may, DYOR is sacred and our everything.

ROCKSTAR GAMES BANN NFT?

Rockstar Games decided to follow in the footsteps of Mojang, which at one time banned NFT in Minecraft. RG has updated its policy to prohibit the use of the company's IP (intellectual property) to generate in-game currency or income through crypto assets (NFT) on the company's servers, as well as outside it.

MyMetaverse, which has its own GTA RP server called Infinity Auto, has been hit hardest of all, where players use NFT cars to cut through the roads of Los Santos and complete P2E missions for in-game currency.

GALA GAMES SHOWED A NEW GAME LAST EXPEDITION

Last Expedition has received a number of updates. Changes were made to Map Blockout, weapon and character models, improved textures, updated movements and combat. In addition, they talked about the operator's license, which makes it possible to launch their own game servers.

Last Expedition is a new blockchain first-person shooter where players search for valuable alien artifacts on the hostile planet Aura. Players can use unique skills and strategies to find resources and earn rewards in the game.

WALLET TREND, SLEEP AND NFT PANDA: WORLD OF FANTASY AT THE WOMBAT WALLET TOP

I will say a few things in the post. Firstly, I am very happy for the guys, well done! The project is more than a year old and it is stable in various top crypto games on WAX and they went to this without VC money. Something turned out great, and what didn’t go according to plan, but this is an invaluable experience!

1.Gamedev studio Thirdverse attracted $15 million. MZ Web3 Fund led the round, with Dash Ventures, OKX Ventures and Yield Guild Games taking part.

2. VC partner Fenbushi lost $42M in assets after stealing from a personal wallet.

Bo Shen of Fenbushi Capital (141 investments including Circle, Cyber, MakerDAO, Nu Cypher, The Block, Messari, Consensys, Balancer) tweeted:

“A total of 42 million crypto assets, including $38 million, were stolen from my personal wallet ending in 894 in the early morning of November 10th EST. The stolen assets are personal funds and do not affect those associated with Fenbushi venture capital.”

If people with 8 years of experience in venture crypto business are being hacked, then probably a simple cryptan should treat his crypto security with paranoid attentiveness.

5. Renault launches the world's first industrial metaverse.

The auto giant has created the first virtual environment that will improve the efficiency of car production and save costs.
The project is based on the concept of digital twins (duplication of real world processes). Virtual copies of factories and production lines operate in the metaverse. The system receives huge data streams about the supply of spare parts and the status of processes. The result is a comprehensive picture of the state of the Renault ecosystem, which optimizes the work of divisions with the help of AI.

“The Metaverse provides real-time surveillance that increases the flexibility and adaptability of industrial operations, as well as the quality of production and the supply chain,” said Renault Vice President.

The deployment of the industrial metaverse is projected to generate approximately $330 million in savings by 2025. It is expected that the virtual site will allow the company to reduce the delivery time of products by 60% and reduce the carbon footprint in the production of cars by 50%. In addition, the cost of warranty service will be reduced by 60%.

6.Massive AR glasses getting closer to launch

Companies have been promising us augmented reality glasses for years that will be easy to wear every day. For this, everyone lacked powerful chips that did not require a large battery (= massive frame). Microchips are an essential part of the mass adoption of technologies. When they appear, we can safely say that corporations are one step away from launching new devices.
Qualcomm the other day introduced a new processor especially for augmented reality glasses.

Snapdragon AR 2 is a whole system of processors that the manufacturer proposes to put in AR devices. It is adapted for AI, and allows you to easily detect objects in the room. They promise that the chips and batteries for their operation will be invisible and will allow you to create thin and light glasses that will work for several hours.

A couple of hours is not a very impressive result for a device that is supposed to replace a smartphone. Obviously, in the future there will be many improvements and competitors (Apple should release a pilot version in early 2023) that will reach the required battery life in a couple of years.

7.Binance will conduct a Proof-of-Reserve audit in response to criticism of the running system.

CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken Jesse Powell criticized the Proof-of-Reserve system launched by Binance. According to him, it should include not only balances with assets, but also negative balances:

“I'm sorry, but this is not PoR. This is either ignorance or intentional misrepresentation. The merkle tree is just waving your hands without an auditor to make sure you don't include accounts with negative balances. An asset report is meaningless without liabilities.”

In response to this, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao stated that the exchange will hold audit of running Proof-of-Reserve:

"Absolutely no negative balance. This will be verified during the PoR audit. In general, for the first time I hear about the “negative balance” in PoR” — said Changpeng Zhao.
