Hey everyone! I hope all is well! We’re working, working, and working some more from a product standpoint to move the ball down the field. All good things take time, but we’re making some progress, putting our plans into motion, and overall we’re feeling good about where we are at and where we’re going! 😃
We have about 10 different VCs who now are Bella holders, and I have a feeling that one day, there will be a major sweep of the floor and we’ll all wake up with an elevated floor so everyone will be happy. We can’t say when, but we believe it’ll happen. But don’t say we didn’t warn you! At some point, we’ll put together a “notable person” token holder list, so everyone can see the people who are betting on this very long.
There’s a tradeoff between investing resources in building a dynamic project that compounds with the resources we have, and that’s where we feel we add the most value. Long project holders will be rewarded and there’s very little we can do for short-term token holders to get them to stay that’s long-lasting. 🙂
Just to give you some updates on some things, here we go!
Animated Series
We’re working through some of the animations, voiceovers, composing music, and incrementally improving. The first episode always takes the longest because we’re building the environments, rigging the characters for the first time, and adding in all of the layers for a photorealistic look and feel.
These will be some of the highest quality animations and the best part is that the environments/worlds will be able to be imported into the Blueniverse so everyone will be able to play in a similar scenery as the animated series. How cool is that?
When we can share some shots, we definitely will share them with you in the Blueniverse Discord. We guarantee you’ll be shocked at the look and feel. Our dream down the road is for a “fan fiction” multiverse where the community votes on key story elements for a “What If?” Marvel type series in parallel to our rendition of the Bella the Blue-Bot series. If you’re into Marvel, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
The Blueniverse
As we have on the roadmap, we have quite a while before we will get our first version out there. BUT, we’re going to be releasing a series of mini-games with some elements that’ll be a part of the Blueniverse. 🥳
We’ll start with very simple, white-label-like games with Bella just to release them quickly and fast, and then over time, we’ll have more unique and complicated games with our actual Blueniverse just to show the community progress over time.
We see the anticipation and challenges other NFT projects who are building games to have to get something out there, but we’ll just keep releasing games early and often, and give you all some other ways to cheer for the NFT project.
We also have put in some early testing around some AR functionality so the Blueniverse can exist online and offline. But it will take time.
PR, Press, and more Promotion
Yes, we heard you and we’ll definitely be seeking more traditional press at the end of the first quarter next year. We just feel it’s better to pursue that route when you have the most to show and you have the momentum from a product standpoint. It makes the press run much more substantial when we can show a photorealistic animated series of the highest quality and some versions of the game, even at the earliest levels. 😉
Edutainment
We’re also parallel building out more features and functionality with the streaming platform, fixing more bugs, onboarding more students, and engaging with our normal subscribers of the platform. We now have our motion capture suits, and we will be experimenting very soon on some new formats, more intimate classes, and other experiences for the students.
Overall, as you can see, we’re working over here!
And working all day every day to make this happen. Thank you for your support and we’ll continue to build something that matters, and it may seem early now, but we always believe true product development compounds over time and will yield benefits to those that stay with us along the way.
So just go ahead, delist your NFT, keep holding, and #BelieveinBella!
Look out soon, but they’ll be some animated GIFs of Bella we’ll release in the Discord very, very soon! She has so many great expressions.
Until next time…😃
