Updates from Donnie
Here are the notes taken mostly in chronological order, as Donnie was serving the information.
General
Townhalls re-established - each Monday at 4 PM UTC, right after the core team meeting. The core team now has about 18 members.
Moonsama/Exosama ecosystem is 10x bigger than last year, and communication can't be done the same way it was (leaks, etc.)
Moonsama gaming
The new gaming platform is going to deviate from the Minecraft platform, implementing Web3 tech and allowing you to play literally any game. On-chain rewards component.
Donablo experiment is ongoing (Diablo immortal clan in the Moonsama mansion for ~100 members).
Moonsama csgo server may be up next
Part of the MCF shall go into the gaming platform rewards
Special OG music track may be licensed thanks to Public Pressure cooperation. Maybe one of the first cool rewards in the platform?
Pondsama
Jukebox and battle arena - new in Pondsama metaverse/map.
Things being tested/developed and centered around a good mobile experience. Ready to be released on AppStore/Playstore, desktop apps probably on Steam or Epic Games Store.
In March, expect the first foray into the Petsama universe - a pet equipable on Exosama - also very interesting in a real world environment.
New 3d models may be coming into Pondsama?
A lot of things are happening in March, some coming around the first week, second week, something's going to happen with a very well-known brand.
Parachain
The biggest thing right now is the Polkadot parachain. Exact plans will not be revealed for now (competitive environment).
Not a project is being built, but a whole ecosystem.
Moonsama eco is huge - biggest community, most popular NFT marketplace, most popular on-chain game etc.
Our own parachain is the answer allowing us to continue in our growth.
Wen marketing? Once we win our parachain slot, there's going to be a lot of natural marketing, and a lot more eyes are coming in.
Raresama
Raresama - curated NFT marketplace - intention to become "the Opensea of Polkadot" with the upcoming parachain.
Raresama is now using SAMA token, which - together with the gaming platform - will contribute to a better overall utility of the token.
Miscellaneous
A staking mechanism is being developed, will revolve around participation & gaming.
Moonsama merch is being worked on by Bubz & co.
Direct cooperation with Jure on Governance 2.0, going to take some time to develop; until then Telegram governance.
MCF - ground rules to be implemented preventing from raiding a treasury (submit milestones etc.), industry experts being brought in. Wiki gang, Dailysama, and Lokito's academy were mentioned.
A lot of 3d composability coming up for next year's upgrades (started with pixelated artwork, continuted with high fidely art, next are 3d models)
Khaos exchange - maybe a token incoming? Stimulate defi in our ecosystem.
Wheat to be re-introduced for defi/pondsama? (will be discussed)
Community questions
Here's a list of questions and answers, compiled by our reporter MonkeCrypto.
A lead developer in one of the teams that Moonsama is building with is working on a "tamagotchi experiment" for something that comes in March, most likely related to Petsama.
Moonsama - a single brand for the whole ecosystem. Currently, it's difficult with pushing out multiple brands.
Battle For Nova is going to be 100% focused on Exosama and the lore around it.
The Battle For Nova card game might be coming in a separate way and called differently, instead the original idea of Battle For Nova might be on its way.
2022 was the year of MVPs, now it's the year of scaling.
Don’t expect for the gaming platform to be the new carnage instantly after launch, might need to give it a bit time and see how everything works out.
The gaming platform will HAVE to have a governance aspect so that we can all decide which direction we want to go.
After the launch of the parachain & a certain metaverse update, most likely, a portion of the treasury will be spent on incentivizing game jams, to bring in new developers into the ecosystem and build using our ecosystem assets.
No rushing on creating a cut off time for POOP refining, when it will happen, there will be a warning.
Season 2.0 is not planned, as it would cause us to fall behind on stuff that everyone is waiting for. If the community wants it, they will have to come together and make it happen.
A new NFT collection coming soon, $100k will be raised for charity. It will be something very cool and in a very low supply.
