Do you want your BAYC/MAYC to be famous? We are beginning to put together a list of holders that are willing to provide proof of ownership and sign a release to let us use their 3D model in OtherWorld as an NPC. Maybe your ape will be partying in Swamps End or fishing on a dock in a remote pond looking for a rare catch or perhaps they will send voyagers on an epic quest to save the world... We will do our best to get run ideas by owners for their role ahead of time as well. If you are interested, please reach out in DMs for details.

Dev Update: We haven't shared much in the past few weeks because we started working on two complicated areas of the engine for the main gameplay loop - questing & interactions. The engine now has support for accepting a quest and completing a quest plus interactions in game that can trigger quest objectives being complete. In the video you will see a speak interaction with an NPC but the design quickly is being expanded to include all types of interactions - picking up items in the world, defeating creatures, looting items from creatures, visiting locations, professions (mining, fishing, herbalism), etc. Next up are the reward mechanics for in-game items, NFTs and XP (how you level up your combat crests and professions). This will include full loot tables with various item rarities which is going to be important for our entirely player driven economy. We are very quickly approaching the core gameplay mechanics for a classic MMO - who is excited?

so let me get this straight in the last cycle people didn’t know whether or not launching a token would be totally chill or would be totally jail because the SEC wasn’t willing to establish modern rules so to be safe don’t launch a fungible token in a US jurisdiction get really good lawyers who will tell you how to navigate a mission impossible laser room of jurisdictions so you don’t get in trouble with your little coin then someone you don’t know and will never meet will launch your token’s smart contract in BVI or Panama or wherever it’s chill to do that so ‘you’ didn’t launch it for tax purposes the token will get appraised at de minimis so you don’t get fucked on taxes with a fortune of phantom income at tge treasury is managed off-shore by a ‘Foundation’ put a DAO in front to advise the Foundation on how to distribute a token by voting on different proposals people organize beauracratize and participate in a pure democracy where the richest people have the most votes and winners get free money? but at least that’s a reason to buy the token builders try really hard get disillusioned by proposals get scorned by other participants get blamed when its not working pitchforks dissolve dao but then rich people holding tokies to control the ballot have no reason to hold market sell price down only everyone jaded all because navigating a grey zone legal landscape from washington beaureaucrats who didn’t want to set a clear policy tokie ATL but now new leadership is autistic at simplifying and thinks a bunch of shit doesn’t make sense and is going to tear down and rebuild and streamline everything until its coherent did I get that right?

Aesthetics matter. This is the most premium ape. Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Who exactly are the Boggers? What role will they play in OtherWorld? What are they doing in Otherside? It seems we have many more questions than answers... Let us know your theories in the comments.
