✅Real talk update. ✅ We've been stuck in and out of what many people in the game industry would call "development hell" with Beastside for the last lil while. Some days… the reliance on others feels like we’re just never going to hit a finish line or key milestone with development. For years we've put our trust in developers, timelines, estimates, and promises that the next milestone was right around the corner. We've tried to be patient. We've tried to be understanding. We've given chance after chance after chance for things to stay on track. The reality is that deadlines have continued to slip, progress has continued to stall, and too often we've found ourselves trapped in endless troubleshooting loops that don't seem to have a clear beginning, middle, or end. As founders, that's frustrating. What makes it even more frustrating is what we've discovered over the last year... Instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for progress reports, myself, Caleb, and Matheus decided to start learning game development ourselves firsthand. We dove headfirst into modern workflows, AI-assisted development, Unity, three.js, vite, web technologies, prototyping, debugging, design systems, documentation, and real industry standard production pipelines. What started as curiosity turned into something unexpected… We started building. And things started moving. Fast. Not because game development is easy. It isn't. But because modern tools have fundamentally changed what's possible for people who are willing to learn, adapt, ask questions, document properly, and take ownership of problems instead of getting stuck on them. The uncomfortable truth is that some of the side projects we're building with a tiny fraction of Beastside's budget are moving faster than Beastside itself. Which makes no sense as seemingly novice devs ourselves. That forces us to ask some difficult questions. If we're now fully capable of building systems, solving problems, creating prototypes, and moving projects forward ourselves, does it still make sense to continue relying on others to execute on our visions and timelines? Or is it time for us as founders to take direct ownership of the development process and bring Beastside home? I've always believed that if you want something done right, eventually you have to be willing to do it yourself. And the more we learn, the more difficult it becomes to ignore that reality… This isn't a decision we're taking lightly. There are people who have contributed in some significant ways to Beastside and we appreciate every effort that's been made along the way. But at the end of the day, our responsibility isn't to protect feelings. Our responsibility is to ship the game. So that's where our heads are at right now. So now we have an important decision to make. Do we continue down the current path? Do we give the existing dev structure one final opportunity to prove itself? Or do we take the wheel ourselves and attempt to drive Beastside across the finish line? Curious what the community thinks. Because one thing is certain: We're done accepting endless delays as the normal cost of progress. It doesn’t feel good. I’ve been patient enough. I feel it’s time to switch things back up to our smaller team with more direct regimented focus. 🙏

When @acarch2 and I stepped in to protect this collection, we made a commitment: build the community this project deserves. Part of that was finding projects who share our values. Not partnerships for the sake of a tweet, but real relationships built on mutual respect, shared culture, and people who actually show up for each other. @QuirkiesNFT and @GoodVibesClub are those projects. The data proves it: 62 wallets hold both a Beast and a Quirkie. 64 wallets hold both a Beast and a GVC. 16 wallets hold all three. These aren't partnerships on paper. These are communities that overlap because the people in them genuinely believe in each other. Tonight I'm giving away 2 Beasts from my personal collection to two holders who embody that: @TheSuperMom1 holds both a Beast and a Quirkie. Not a single Beast listed. @Gabo_Anany holds both a Beast and a GVC. Not a single Beast listed. No raffle. No engagement farming. Just two people who believed in all of us. To @QuirkiesNFT and @GoodVibesClub teams and community thank you for the culture, the support, and the people you've sent our way. This is Round 1.

Pick up a beast. I said it in November, December, January, February and March. We almost in April! ‘26 is the year of A Kid Called Beast #AKCB
