On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I talk to one of the biggest companies building the future of the metaverse - Epic Games. Rachel Stones is a Business Development Manager at Epic Games. This conversation was one of my absolute favourites so far. Epic Games, as I'm sure you are aware, have been building in this space probably longer than anyone and I would argue have been paramount in bringing the whole concept of the metaverse to life. To be able to sit down with Rachel and really understand Epic's vision for the future was really fun and absolutely invaluable. We of course cover Fortnite and some developments there, plus delve into the whole pipeline of products and tools in the Epic Games ecosystem that are being used to build this immersive and hyper-realistic future that is coming. It's going to get very interesting very quickly in my opinion, I left this interview both genuinely mindblown and really excited for what is to come. Thank you to Rachel for coming on the show, she was awesome and I'd highly recommend you listen to this one in full, there's a lot of cool stuff in this episode!

On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, we're diving back into the web3 play and earn gaming space. As you'll likely know by now if you've been listening to the podcast, there is a big fundamental movement around digital ownership in games, allowing players to own, level up and trade their in-game items as NFTs, enabling full game economies. Gaming is the biggest entertainment industry on the planet and it's a really clear use of NFTs but also this category of web3 gaming is in its infancy and games, especially good, fun games, by their very nature take time to build. On this episode I chat to Michael Le aka justmaiko, a TikTok creator with over 50 million subscribers and over 10 billion views along with tech entrepreneur Robin Defay, who together are the co-founders of Joystick - a platform which provides education, content and access to gaming assets for players to use and keep 100% of their revenue whilst doing so, which is an interesting model. I really enjoyed this conversation and web3 gaming is undoubtedly a major trend and movement that is coming, so it's something we'll continue to revisit and stay updated on.

On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I've got a brilliant conversation for you all about how to get building in the metaverse with Justin Melillo, CEO and Co-Founder of Mona. Mona spaces are really awesome 3D social worlds that you can go and explore straight your browser and get a real sense of what the future of the metaverse will look and feel like. These spaces are a mix of cool, immersive, sometimes trippy, sometimes futuristic but always beautifully made creations and I definitely recommend heading to mona.gallery to just go and have an explore.

On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to Herman Narula - CEO & Co-founder of Improbable, a metaverse technology company building Yuga Labs' hotly anticipated Otherside metaverse. (Yuga Labs themselves of course creators of arguably the most famous NFT project in the space - Bored Ape Yacht Club and who acquired the IP for Cryptopunks and Meebits fairly recently too). Improbable have been building game-changing tech in this space for 10+ years and are solving many of the essential problems that are needed to bring the vision of an open metaverse to life.

On this week's episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to Dan Fill - President of Dark Slope, who are a virtual production and metaverse company, and are reimagining entertainment for this new immersive future that we're heading towards. They're a combination of a games studio, television studio and virtual production house, which means they are right at the forefront of what content is going to look like in the next 5 to 10 years. They've even created a new category of hyper-reality TV, using game engines, VR and haptic feedback suits to produce an ever changing Ninja Warrior style sports entertainment show - where you are essentially competing inside almost a live video game - it's very cool and really opened my mind to what is possible and what is coming.

NFTs are revolutionising digital ownership and value on the internet. We've seen the impact in the art world, with new digital IP's and now with music too. On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to Blockchain Brett - Managing Partner at Palm Tree Crew Crypto and OG collector in the space who's worked with major artists including Kygo and Ryan Tedder. We discuss if music has been undervalued on the internet, NFTs enabling artists to actually sell their art and potentially not be tied to a label or income from a streaming service, whether actually the whole copyright model might change and the major impact that music NFTs are set to have over the next few months. We also talk about some exciting metaverse first projects too. This was a fascinating chat and really opened my mind to what is possible. Thank you Brett for coming on!

The business world is abuzz with the promise – and potential dangers – of the metaverse. The space seems to have a high barrier for entry, requiring a confident working knowledge of the blockchain, crypto, and NFTs to even begin to dive in. But as a business leader, you can't ignore this rapidly-growing space, nor the potential to be a savvy early adopter.Lindsay and Carolyn speak with Janine Yorio, CEO of virtual real estate firm Republic Realm, to get a handle on what the metaverse is and why the conversation around the metaverse is unnecessarily confusing. Then, they interview Cathy Hackl, host of the Metaverse Marketing podcast and “Godmother of the Metaverse,” about balancing the ideal of decentralization with making sure the next frontier is welcoming for everybody.Find us on LinkedIn and if you're interested in joining the Chief network, apply to be a member at Chief.com.Find Janine's work at https://republicrealm.com/.Listen to Cathy's podcast Metaverse Marketing wherever you like to listen.

There's a real estate boom going on in the metaverse! They hit $500 million dollars last year, and are expected to double this year, to one billion. The uptrend took off recently when Facebook announced plans to expand into the metaverse and changed its corporate name to Meta Platforms. CNBC reports that virtual real estate sales have gone up ninefold since Facebook's announcement in October. (1) Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.According to metaverse data provider, MetaMetric Solutions, investors spent a total of $83 million in January sales alone. Analysts based their 2022 projections on that amount of spending throughout the year. But some analysts are anticipating more growth. Analytics firm BrandEssence Market Research expects the virtual real estate market to grow at a compound annual rate of 31% a year through 2028.What is the Metaverse?But what exactly is the metaverse? And why are investors buying real estate that has no corresponding plot of land on this earth? Facebook explains it like this:“The “metaverse” is a set of virtual spaces where you can create and explore with other people who aren't in the same physical space as you. You'll be able to hang out with friends, work, play, learn, shop, create and more. It's not necessarily about spending more time online – it's about making the time you do spend online more meaningful.” (2)Andrew Kiguel of the Toronto-based Tokens.com told CNBC: “You can go to the carnival, you can go to a music concert, you can go to a museum.” This activity is carried out with a cartoon-like character called an avatar that represents you in your virtual world. (3)Many celebrities have already ventured into the metaverse with their avatars, including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, DJ Marshmello, and Paris Hilton. She threw a New Year's Eve party on her own virtual island.Real Dollars for Unreal PropertiesTo capitalize on this idea of social interaction in the metaverse, investors are paying real dollars for unreall properties in prime locations that could, some day, be worth tons of money. Maybe. Prices are going up fast right now. Kiegel says that many properties are up 4 to 500% in just the last few months.Popular Metaverse PlatformsThere are many metaverse platforms, and new ones are launching every day, but there are just four that are attracting most of the land sales right now. The “Big Four” are Sandbox, Decentraland, Cryptovoxels, and Somnium.The Sandbox is the biggest metaverse real estate platform. It has more than 166,000 parcels of land that measure 106 yards by 106 yards each. In December, they each sold for an ether equivalent of $12,700. An ether is the token used for Ethereum transactions, much like a bitcoin.Investors can use cryptocurrency to buy, develop, and sell parcels of land. Like the real world of real estate, their value can rise as they are upgraded and turned into more desirable properties. Metaverse real estate investor and advisory firm, Republic Realm, is creating 100 so-called “Fantasy Islands” with dream-like villas and amenities that include boats and jet skis. The company sold 90 of the properties for $15,000 apiece on the first day of sales, and some of the buyers are relisting them for more than $100,000.Republic Realm recently paid a record $4.3 million for land in the Sandbox. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company now owns more than 2,500 plots of virtual land in 19 different meta-worlds. It bought the $4.3 million dollar property from Atari SA.Two Ways to Buy Virtual LandThere are two ways to buy virtual land – directly from the platform or from a developer. Investors can also make changes, although it's not as easy as picking up a paint brush, because you have to change the code.Tokens.com set the previous record when it bought digital land for $2.43 million in the “fashion district” part of Decentraland. The metaverse real estate market is becoming a high-stakes investment play, although it's also highly speculative.Republic Realm's CEO Janine Yorio says it's a very risky business and you should only invest what you can afford to lose. She says: “It's highly speculative. It's also blockchain-based. And as we all know, crypto is highly volatile. But it can also be massively rewarding.”Choosing Your PropertyAs for how to choose your property, she doesn't believe that location matters. She believes that values will increase depending on what people do with the land. That's apparently because getting from one place to another is as simple as “teleporting.”But other investors follow the real world real estate rule on location. One example is a $450,000 purchase of a property in the Sandbox so the buyer could be Snoop Dog's neighbor, according to Seeking Alpha. (4)There are some who feel that metaverse land sales are a crypto ponzi scheme. Investors buy land at increasingly higher prices, but there's no underlying value because there's no limit to the amount of virtual land you can create. Metaverse skeptics say the last man out might end up with a worthless piece of virtual space.Whatever “might” happen to the value of real estate in the metaverse, it's going through a boom phase right now. And some of the biggest tech names are positioning themselves to be part of the metaverse future.Facebook is only one of those names. Seeking Alpha lists a few of those relationships. Disney is working on the creation of virtual theme parks. Microsoft plans to incorporate virtual reality into its Teams platform. Many game companies are expanding rapidly into the virtual reality space. As I mentioned previously, several celebrities have already held big events in the metaverse. And now, some very brave real estate investors are snapping up these imaginary properties.

On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, we explore the amazing world of DAOs aka Decentralised Autonomous Organisations with the awesome Danny Greene from MeebitsDAO. DAOs are a way of collectively organising a group of people (and often funds) in an open, transparent and decentralised way, using blockchain technology. It sounds complicated but its a super interesting way to organise community around NFT projects but also any larger cause. All is explained simply in this episode! Danny did an awesome job of explaining this area simply and the huge potential that DAOs are unlocking already.

Today's podcast is part 4 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future.  8 - Can you own part of the Metaverse (like real estate)?  Yes. In fact, virtual metaverse-based 'land' is selling now. Remember, these are the early days.  Gambling on virtual land in a virtual world could leave you with virtually nothing. Please remember the legend about the man who was selling the Brooklyn Bridge.  Legend claimed that he sold it at least twice a week. He did sell it several times including at least once for $50,000! The new owner would discover he was the victim of a con when the New York police officers would stop the “new owners” from setting up toll booths in the middle of the bridge. That said, people are indeed using real money to buy 'land' in the metaverse. After the dust settles, there will be real transactions happening with real money being transferred for virtual land in which to build virtual buildings.  From CNBC: Sales of real estate in the metaverse topped $500 million last year and could double this year, according to investors and analytics firms. Real estate sales on the four major metaverse platforms reached $501 million in 2021, according to MetaMetric Solutions. Sales in January topped $85 million, the metaverse data provider said. It projects that at this pace sales could reach nearly $1 billion this year. Republic Realm paid a record $4.3 million for land in the largest metaverse real estate platform, Sandbox. The company is developing 100 islands, called Fantasy Islands, with their own villas and a related market of boats and jet skis. Ninety of the islands sold in the in the first day for $15,000 each and some are now listed for resale for more than $100,000. For investors, the big question is how to assign value and risk to an asset whose scarcity is artificial and whose future is a blank slate. Over a dozen platforms are now selling real estate in the metaverse, with new ones sprouting up almost weekly. So far, real estate sales have been concentrated on the “Big Four” — Sandbox, Decentraland, Cryptovoxels and Somnium. There are a total of 268,645 parcels on the four platforms, all of varying sizes. Does location matter? A rush of companies, major brands and investors are pouring into the new land craze, hoping to get in on the ground floor of the next digital Manhattan or Monaco. Yorio said land value in the metaverse will be determined by what owners do with a property — like designing a popular attraction, museum or feature —rather than location. “You can teleport anywhere so location isn't as important,” she said. Yet other investors say that just like in the real world, location in the metaverse is everything when it comes to real estate. Prices for parcels near Snoop Dogg's planned partnership and virtual world in Sandbox are fetching a premium, along with parcels near the Atari development.

In November, a company called Tokens.com bought 116 parcels of land for around $1.2 million. Only that land wasn't really land. The plots are located in Decentraland — a metaverse, or online virtual world. Tokens.com is one of many firms that are buying up virtual real estate in the metaverse. But, what exactly are these firms using this land for? And is it actually real estate? The Real Deal's Isabella Farr speaks to Tokens.com CEO Andrew Kiguel, as well as Janine Yorio, the CEO of metaverse investment firm Republic Realm and Michael Phillips, the President of Jamestown, which has re-created an iconic Times Square building in the metaverse.

Todd McDonald is the co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer at R3. In this podcast we discuss R3's Product Vision and their views on market trends, market needs and R3's long term product investment.   What is blockchain? Blockchain is a way for multiple participants to join a network and update the state of that network without having to trust someone to coordinate amongst them. For businesses, Todd sees blockchain as a way to connect with more customers and more businesses without having to worry as much around the trust factor.   Three market trends Back in September of this year Todd presented at CordaCon a presentation entitled “R3 Product Vision: Market Trends, Market Needs and R3's Long-Term Product Investment.”In it he started by analysing three market trends: “Everything is an asset”, “push-pull of (de)centralisation” “Plan ahead for regulation”.   Everything is an asset Blockchain has the ability to create digital scarcity. Essentially anything that you can prove ownership of can become an asset. Assets can be digitally mobile such as NFTs and/or they can be used as collateral for a loan. A digital asset of course can be the digital manifestation or representation of a real physical asset but equally it could also by a pure digital asset. Pure digital assets, such as the purchase of digital property in the Metaverse, have recently seen a bit of an explosive growth. Republic Realm purchased a $4.3 million 24x24 digital piece of land, whilst Metaverse Group in November made a $2.43 million purchase of parcels in Decentraland.   Push-Pull of (de)centralisation Blockchains are custody and software. They're the ability to custody digital assets in the software layer without having the need of human beings. Todd shared with us that some of the biggest investors in this space so far have been existing intermediaries. Financial market infrastructure is heavily investing in distributed systems and blockchain. He then explains what he sees as the different facets of the decentralisation journey: You need critical mass and become successful. There needs to be a journey to attract people to a network and distribute the roles of that network. Potentially over time the network can become more distributed to decentralised. What is interesting about the crypto side is that with tokenomics all participants can be incentivised from day one onto a decentralised network Progressive decentralisation a term coined by Jesse Walden, from Andreesen Horowitz, talks about starting out within a bootstrap minimum viable ecosystem, ie. quite centralised, which as it grows can progress into a decentralised one   Plan ahead for regulation Once regulation starts it pretty much only increases. This comment isn't specifically related to crypto regulation but more on financial services. There is an increasing amount of regulatory imperatives  such as open banking, GDPR, and Central Securities Depository Regulation (CSDR).   Modernising market infrastructure SIX digital exchange became live on the 18th of November 2021, when SIX, launched a CHF 150 million ($162 million) tokenised digital bond with Credit Suisse, UBS Investment Bank, and Zürcher Kantonalbank acting as the joint lead managers. What is interesting about this new digital market infrastructure that SIX launched off an R3 Enterprise Corda blockchainis that it leverages an existing ecosystem that SIX had. Second it has the ability to handle an asset through its lifecycle from cradle to grave. Three the settlement process, of settling into what is in effect into a central bank digital currency. What this illustrates is a way for these new tokenized assets to have higher velocity and to be able to reach across borders in a way that regulators are ok with.   Corda & Conclave Early on it with the launch of Corda, it became clear that industries wanted to bootstrap networks where the founding participants wanted to control those net...

Après avoir reçu Paul de BEM Builders il y a quelques semaines, qui était venu nous parler des possibilité de création dans The Sandbox (Room #153 avec Marie du Studio Nabiya), cette fois c’est Quentin, designer chez BEM builders, qu’on retrouvera dorénavant tous les mois, qui nous a parlé des User Generated Content (UGC).Si vous ne savez pas ce que ce sont les UGC, qu’on peut traduire en français par “contenu généré par les utilisateurs”, c’est tout simplement la possibilité qu’ont les utilisateurs d’un jeu, d’une appli, d’un métaverse ou autres d’y créer du contenu tels que des wearables, du mobilier, des immeubles, c’est à dire finalement s’inventer son monde dans un univers déjà existant…Les UGC vont bouleverser bien des domaines, et c’est ce que nous explique justement Quentin dans l’article qu’il vient d’écrire à ce sujet sur les métaverses, et qu'on vous partage çi-dessous:The Sandbox et le défi de l’UGC. 16 Dec Written By Quentin TOURBEZLa sortie de la version alpha de The SandBox est l'occasion de rappeler que cet espace virtuel n'est pas seulement un jeu mais un nouveau paradigme dans l'univers de l'UGC. Dans The Sandbox les usagers peuvent via une suite d'outils fabriqués sur mesure pour les besoins du jeu, concevoir les NFT qui peupleront ce dernier. Ce contenu généré par les joueurs est d'une qualité remarquable dans The Sandbox, si bien qu'il m'apparaît tout à fait neuf dans l'univers du jeu vidéo d'avoir rendu aussi malléable et accessible la création d’éléments destinés à intégrer le jeu.Dans ma courte histoire de joueur j'ai pu rencontrer deux autres fois une excitation pareille — et même plus forte, l'époque aidant — à la vue de tels systèmes de construction. La première fut Minecraft — bouleversement total de l'équilibre des planètes — monde ouvert où il m'était rendu possible de tout créer jusqu’aux systèmes électriques complexes de mes rêves. Je vous vois les passionnés de la Redstone et autres constructeurs de calculatrices. L’esthétique tout en blocs du jeu de Mojang m'a passé avec le temps, mais je dois reconnaître que dans la limite esthétique qui était imposée aux joueurs nous trouvions toujours une créativité étonnante de ressources.La seconde fut plus tardive, elle eut lieu lors de mon arrivée sur ce magnifique serveur privé de Dofus où lorsque le prix de l’abonnement étant devenu trop cher sur les serveurs d'Ankama nous avions migré avec mes amis. Les personnes qui géraient ce serveur avaient eu la bonne — ou très mauvaise — idée de créer un éditeur de cartes en dérivant des objets utilisés dans le jeu officiel. Moi, grand fanatique de Lego que je suis, j'ai fondu en deux temps trois mouvements sur cette opportunité qui s'offrait à moi. Et me voici en train de créer de toutes pièces un monde de glace, un monde de désert, des arènes grandiloquentes et j'en passe. Pour moi rien n'avait plus de valeurs que de pouvoir créer à partir de la matière qui à cette époque me passionnait : Dofus. Si mon amour pour la chose s'est amenuisé avec les jours c'est seulement pour deux raisons. J'avais fini par prendre une place certaine sur ce serveur, designer en chefs avant l'heure d'un monde fictif, et déjà on me rémunérait en visibilité (et avec une quantité pharaonique de monnaie virtuelle et des skins). Mais là n'est pas la question, j’étais plus que d'accord avec cela, vous savez ce que c'est la passion, ça fait faire des choses étranges.Le vrai problème de ce néo UGC est que nous nous sommes retrouvés dans l’anarchie la plus totale. Moi qui pensais être un coordinateur zélé de ce monde nouveau, j'ai découvert dans la stupeur que nous étions plusieurs chérifs dans ce FarWest. Les créateurs acceptaient sans restriction aucune les ajouts de tous les apprentis level designer sans même en jauger de la qualité. Le serveur a bientôt fini par ressembler à un coloriage d'enfant de cinq ans, et les joueurs perdus dans cet amas désordonné de mondes ont quitté le navire.Les challenges qui s'ouvrent à The Sandbox pour voir les joueurs rejoindre leur arche de Noé plutôt que de se jeter par-dessus bords ne sont pas si différents : engager les joueurs, et préserver le jeu coûte que coûte. Leur position sur le segment à double tranchant de l'outil de production du contenu et de l'outil d'exploitation de ce même contenu leur donne un avantage certain, celui d'être à la fois l’émetteur et le récepteur du signal. Sébastien (CEO de The Sandbox), affirme dans sa communication qu'ils ont à cœur de maîtriser la qualité de l'UGC, et c'est pour moi la clef d'un monde à succès.Roblox et Minecraft ont adressé le problème de la qualité des productions des joueurs en réduisant les potentiels créatifs offerts aux joueurs. De gros blocs, des actions. The Sandbox prend le risque d'offrir un univers plus ouvert que ses concurrents. Le risque d'un investissement plus faible des joueurs est à courir.Face à un UGC parfois aléatoire en qualité, The Sandbox a déjà fait la démonstration d'une stratégie judicieuse pour conserver leur monde attractif : ils préservent en interne des capacités de production d'expériences sans en déléguer toute la responsabilité aux joueurs. C'est à mon sens un outil génial et quand on voit ce qu'ils ont été capables de construire autour de l'univers de Snoop Dogg. Tout y était d'une grande qualité, autant les NFT que les Lands. Même la vidéo d'introduction au projet était d'un grand professionnalisme.Pourtant il se pourrait que de nouveaux métiers émergent dans la lignée de ce qu'il se passe parfois quand de nouvelles économies sont rendues accessibles au plus grand nombre. Je prendrais ici à titre d'exemple Airbnb et Uber. Toutes deux nouvelles sociétés transformantes d'une industrie vieillissante, elles ont vu se développer des métiers annexes à leurs services. Des poissons nageant à côté des baleines pour y trouver un peu de nourriture. On a vu apparaître des conciergeries Airbnb ou encore des services de nettoyages dédiés aux chauffeurs Uber. The Sandbox verra irrémédiablement de nouveaux services s'adjoindre — qu'ils le souhaitent ou non — à leur monde : c'est la beauté du métaverse (ou du capitalisme). Dans cette vague de nouveaux métiers, nous pouvons être prolixes dans nos imaginaires étant donné que The Sandbox dispose d'une frange importante de sujets pouvant être augmentés.Avec bem.builders, nous agissons déjà en ce sens en proposant nos services comme architectes dans les différents multiverse. Mais poussons la réflexion encore quelques centimètres plus loin, imaginons la dérive du système du $SAND, imaginons des banquiers de The Sandbox comme il y a pu en avoir dans Eve Online ou encore des décorateurs d'intérieurs ou des gestionnaires de collections de NFT. Il n'y a qu'un pas entre la duplication des économies réelles dans le métavers, condition sine qua non de l'existence de ce dernier.J'espère que The Sandbox saura relever les challenges qui sont les siens en brisant peu à peu les barrières à l’accès qu'il possède aujourd'hui et que ses équipes feront leur profession de foi au divertissement pour maintenir un plaisir de jeu toujours fidèle à la promesse des origines. Le $SAND ne grandira que par le jeu, le passé nous l'a prouvé maintes fois.____________________________________________________________________________Entretiens avec Sébastien BORGET (Co-Fondateur & CEO de The Sandbox)Quels sont les garde-fous que vous avez implantés dans votre métavers pour préserver l'esprit "jeu" de The Sandbox et être garants des productions générées par les joueurs ?Avec TheSandbox nous tirons parti de l'expérience que nous avons développée dans le gaming depuis dix ans déjà. Depuis les premières itérations de notre jeu — sur mobile au début puis maintenant en 3d et sur la blockchain — nous nous sommes attachés à offrir à nos joueurs / nos créateurs, des cadres créatifs qui les inspirent et les guident afin de ne pas les laisser face au syndrome de la page blanche. Aujourd’hui nous disposons d'une suite d'outils qui permettent à la communauté de créer du contenu simplement et de manière guidée : le GameMaker et les templates. Ces outils agissent comme un sas de décompression entre la créativité sans limite des créateurs et notre univers. Nous avons aussi lancé des GameJam sur des thématiques précises au cours de l'année passée. Ce système nous a permis de comprendre à quel point la créativité de notre communauté était impressionnante : notre système de gameplay à mème était détourné pour créer de nouveau style d'aventure comme des jeux de tir. Cela dépasse en tout point l'aspect esthétique des skins et du level design, c'est vraiment un niveau supérieur d'UGC. Avec ce niveau de qualité dans les productions de notre publique, je pense que nous allons pouvoir maintenir notre stratégie ; aujourd’hui nous avons une équipe en interne de plus d'une dizaine de Level Designer qui planche sur nos expériences, mais à l'avenir nous souhaitons représenter moins de 90 % des productions de The Sandbox. Je suis convaincu que nous avons la communauté pour cela.Pensez-vous que l'économie d'un métavers comme The Sandbox puisse connaître des parallèles avec l'économie réelle : avoir des banques tenues par des joueurs, avoir des décorateurs d’intérieurs et des artisans fabricants de skins ? Est-ce votre ambition ? Seriez-vous contents d'un tel engagement des joueurs, comme on a pu le voir dans WoW ou Eve Online.Je suis content que vous évoquiez ces MMORPG pour la bonne raison que ce sont des jeux qui ont su vivre et rester attractif très longtemps. Dans ces jeux c'est vrai qu'il y a une forte implication des joueurs dans les mécanismes de vie du jeu qui s'organisent autour du gameplay central. Je suis convaincu que la tokenization (la mise sous forme de token d'éléments du jeu) va accélérer ce processus.J'irais même plus loin en affirmant que de nouveau métiers vont faire le pont entre les mondes virtuels et le marché du travail réel. Je pense qu'il va y avoir un boom des métiers de la production d'assets, nous avons déjà pu nous en apercevoir sur notre Discord ou même lors des GameJam.D'autres métiers suivront la même logique, nous voyons déjà apparaître des agences de virtual estate comme Republic Realm.Aujourd’hui Fortnite est un véritable tunnel publicitaire et semble être devenu un passage obligatoire pour toutes tournées de promotion dans n'importe quel secteur. Quelle est votre politique quant aux partenariats ?Il est vrai que Fortnite est devenu un TimeSquare digital. C'est devenu un passage obligatoire de tout road-show de promotion. C'est un changement de paradigme dans le monde du jeu actuel, mais c'est ce qui leur permet d'être gratuits et accessibles à tous. On se souvient d'expérience où certains jeux avaient tenté des expériences publicitaires dans leurs univers avant de rétropédaler. Je pense que l'économie de la blockchain va nous apporter quelque chose de radicalement différent : la détention des assets par les joueurs. Cette possibilité nouvelle va autoriser de nouveaux modèles économiques après 25 ans d'une économie du jeu vidéo pilotée par les gros studios. Il faudra rééduquer les joueurs c'est certain. Chez nous la publicité est une véritable question, nous avons besoin de préserver notre expérience usager et notre jouabilité à tout prix. Pour le futur des multiverse, il faut que l'on se pose collectivement la question des entreprises à qui nous souhaitons donner les clefs de ces nouveaux espaces. Est-ce que l'on part à nouveau sur un modèle 2.0 où toute la publicité en ligne est contrôlée par les GAFAM ? Ce sera c'est sur la bataille des jeux vidéo et des expériences ludiques dans les dix à vingt prochaines années.Pour aller plus lien: Site officiel de BEM.BuildersLien vers l’article de QuentinSite Officiel de RobloxGame Maker sur The SandBoxProfil de BEM.builders sur Twitter This is a public episode.

On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to Alexander Fernandez - CEO and Co-Founder of Streamline Media Group - who have been making video games for the past 20 years - including some of the biggest titles in the world like Gears of War, Unreal Tournament and Final Fantasy XV. They are now heavily involved in building out the future of the metaverse. Last year they also worked on the hugely successful Balenciaga 2021 Fall campaign, which was essentially an entire video game to showcase the brand's digital fashion range. We talk about this, other major projects they have worked on, talk more about gamification and what he thinks 2022 looks like for the metaverse. As he quite rightly says the future of the metaverse is going to be built by people who build video games, so to hear someone with this much experience talk about where this is all going was pretty epic and super valuable. We also cover what some of most sought after skills are going to be in the metaverse and some major opportunities over the next few months, plus what to do if you want to get involved in this space but are still trying to find your way. Alexander is definitely one of the smartest minds in this space and there is some absolute gold in this episode, so I know you're gonna enjoy this one.

This week there was some big news from the Metaverse. We look at the alpha launch of The Sandbox, which is a four-year in the making Metaverse that is geared towards building gaming worlds and land development for brands. There were also two big virtual land buys, one last week and one this week, each breaking the record for the largest single virtual land purchase. The first record breaking deal was last week for $2.43M by the Metaverse Group and was for 116 parcels of land in Decentraland. Then this week the Republic Realm purchased $4.3M of land in The Sandbox from video game developer Atari. We wrap up with responding to Bill Maher's closing comments on his show Real Time, where he downplays and says we need to avoid building Metaverses.   This week's Meta Hour cocktail is the Jalapeño Mezcal Metarita, a super spicy and smokey margarita that will make your mouth water.   ::Links:: The Sandbox (https://www.sandbox.game/) Metaverse Group (https://metaversegroup.io/) Republic Realm (https://www.republicrealm.com/)   ::Metarita:: - 2oz of jalapeño infused mezcal - 1oz of Fresh squeezed lime juice - .75oz Cointreau - .25oz Simple syrup - Lime wedges for garnish and glass rim - Tajin - Optional – non-spiced mezcal for cutting   Prep your glass by running lime wedge around rim of cocktail glass and dreading in the Tajin In a ice filled metal cocktail shaker, add the mezcal, lime juice, Cointreau, and simple syrup.

Are virtual online worlds the future of the internet? Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg thinks so. He is among the tech leaders who say we'll increasingly live, socialise, play and shop in the metaverse. Is he right, and what is the metaverse anyway? Ed Butler speaks to venture capitalist and metaverse big-thinker Matthew Ball, and to Manuel Bronstein from Roblox - the hugely successful gaming platform where gamers already live out virtual lives through their avatars. Janine Yorio tells us why her 'virtual real estate' company Republic Realm is buying up land and property in metaverse worlds, and why the metaverse will be the future of shopping.

Real Vision Crypto: As people are spending increasingly more time in virtual worlds (also known as the metaverse), Janine Yorio, managing director of Republic Realm, joins Real Vision's Haley Draznin to discuss an entirely new asset class that has evolved: digital real estate investment. The fund focuses on the acquisition, management, development, and sale of virtual land, known as parcels, across metaverses including Decentraland, The Sandbox, Axie Infinity, CryptoVoxels, among others. Recorded on April 21, 2021. Key Learnings: Digital real estate has the potential to deliver long-term outsized returns due to the rise of cryptocurrencies and the rapidly growing digital currency asset class. It is evolving into a viable store of wealth like real-world real estate, real-world art, and even website domain names due to its scarcity value, ability to monetize from high "foot traffic" and transferability.
