now we're going to talk a little bit about creativity what does creativity mean to you and how can technology actually support uh creativity in uh in the world as we know it today so we have Nicholas here from Blue Kraken online who's going to start the session um and take it away thank you thank you yeah hello everyone um yeah so my name is Nicholas Herbert wind I am CEO co-founder head of development and father of the idea of blue craycon online what is blue crank and online yeah in general it is going to be a play to earn game in the web 3 space
and yeah it is a very special and Innovative product we connect a pixel art game with our physical world and an inflation-proof ecosystem well this topic is I guess very very important for everyone here of us in the room and let me tell you why so um gaming in general especially the web 3 gaming will be in the future the key driver for Mass adoption of crypto in general of this whole planet but yeah there is there is some hesitation from web 2 Gamers against web 3 gaming and this is because of inflationary ecosystems which are very
common among play and earn games in the current times where we thought that that and yeah our main USP is an inflation-proof blockchain gaming ecosystem with our product a web 3 pixel art MMORPG um well that is not our only USB we have another USB we have impact on society and we do something for our real physical world for example you can plant trees in our game and thereby we plant trees in our on our Blue Planet so the last trees were planted in Portugal even when our product is not live yet but yeah we just
wanted to show that we are not only talking but we are really doing something good and yeah thereby we would like to claim a new category not play and earn but play and change yeah because well we have influence on the planet and we want to change the whole we have three gaming Space by showing that inflation proof ecosystems are feasible um for my personal motivation I would like to tell you a few sentences so healing the planet obviously when you have kids for sure you want to have this planet for this planet a bright future so planting trees is always good
healing the web 3 gaming space from this for me it is like an inflation sickness it has the roots in my in my past since I'm 15 years old I'm in the Plato iron space where the Trump later on didn't exist in that time but in the web 2 space play to earn was existence even in the year 2000 so for example I when I was 15 I played Diablo 2 and soil sold flaming swords on eBay on the gray Market where when every player at a certain point of time has a flaming sword no one wants to pay something for for for these thoughts anymore and yeah well that is
something like inflation but on item basis what I did was yeah I switched the game to a new game which released um a short moment ago so the ecosystem is fresh and I did the same again I farmed the valuable items analyzed the game mechanics into this biggest depths I can found to identify the sweet spots on how to how to get the most valuable items in the ecosystems with the smallest amount of effort well to be most profitable for sure and yes but it kicked in again inflation in every game I played
for the last 22 years now I am suffering from this and yeah with the with the blockchain technology in general we can now set rules for the the the the the token you use with which players can earn in a play to our game we can set it in stone with smart contracts and yeah well beside me there are four other studied mathematicians in our team and yeah we were we were able to find a solution which is mathematical provable that it is inflation-free um yeah that is my personal reason why I am so after this inflation problem where and as I'm for a very long time in crypto
right now I started in 2013 um I was not believing in Bitcoin initially I thought that it is strange but I bought some nonetheless but I sold them unfortunately very quickly already again and yeah but so I'm still here and for for for the web 3 gaming space I see this in to prove that inflation free ecosystems are feasible it is super important and can drive some method option if we go a bit deeper about my own personal motivation Yahweh I want to leave a positive footprint on this planet in the long term and when I think about where is Blue craycon online in five years what
what what do I wish what I what do I desire so I would like to see in five years um well our game is an RPG game not Everyone likes RPG games for an RPG game our game will be fantastic as not only I am a hardcore gamer since childhoods and playing nearly only RPG games but several guys from my team as well uh meaning we have a huge expertise in RPG games hack and slash games itemization ecosystems for sure so the game will be fantastic but yeah as I said already not everyone might like RPG games so our our
wish for in five years is not that everyone on this planet plays our game but what I would like to see is that everyone in five years remembers that Luke Reagan online was the ecosystem which opens the doors for inflation proofness and I would like to see that many many other play to earn games will follow our example so I'm open for helping everyone with this economics we have some game Partners already I spoke with and yeah that's it's a start for a bright future for Mass adoption from my point of view well now I next talk a bit about the product that you can imagine how our
game works um it is multi-dimensional it has multiple layers I explain it with some examples I guess you all know the following ones um imagine you are in the cinema and you are watching The Matrix from from your seat you see Neil Neo is connected to some machines and then he controls Neo inside the Matrix another example is you sit in the cinema and watch Avatar there you see Jake Sally and when Jake Sally is connected to the machines he controls the Naboo from our for our game it works a bit in the same direction but you have more more influence about about what is
happening so obviously you as a gamer um in the pixel art world in the first layer of our games the First Dimension you control Frank he lives in a more or less Ordinary World he needs to sleep he needs to eat and stuff like that okay you see some robot drones already so it's not really like ours but kind of um and when you move with Frank to his computer his his greatest hobby is playing video games then you control hoodie the main Avatar of our hack and slash MMORPG he lives in a fantasy world and he is the one who slays massive amounts of enemies with different character classes different skill setups and so on
everything what the RPG gamer would like to have in the game yeah basically that is how it works and yeah I spoke about the connection from from Frank's world to our real world already with the example of planting trees and um good after explaining that I would like to go a step deeper into the dimensional stuff so Tech evolution is a part of our product is this connected to the story and these pixel art Dimensions which you just saw are going to be something which which will change after our product is live and after the
evolution will take place I show you what what will happen and as an introduction I show you how we build our characters so even in the pixel world we start with low pulley or ultra low pulley 3D models then you see the low poly version and from this we create pixel art this is this what you see here from my point of view for pixel art games this is a real Masterpiece um the pixels are very accordingly polished we do it with some techniques what a student of us he wrote his bachelor's thesis about Loot Crate and
online created it was a pixel Shader and yeah after after this technique has taken place we have my sister Laura she's co-founder as well she then she has Eagle laser eyes for seeing which pixels are wrong not the right color if a pixel is too high up or too too low down um and well then something like this comes out and yeah for the tech Evolution I showed you the the both 3D models um we will evolve or we are already evolving these further into 3D and yeah here's you'll see a big smile of our enemy um character and these models are then
used later on for a two and a half D dimension of our game a 3D dimension of our game and [Music] um the AR version of our game meter verse included for sure as well so this dimension in our game are in the Farah future going to change from from pixel art to to 3D two and a half year and so on what I just said well the inflation-proof ecosystem because the time is running I will just very briefly say something about it we have a few Corner Stones I would like to mention we have something um
additional entity which is actually planned as a foundation we have some advice already gotten that we might change that to another legal form but yeah we will consider that and this Foundation constantly fuels the ecosystem so not only players are giving money into the ecosystem but an external Force as well and yeah the biggest point for the solution of inflation free gaming is that our tokens are not mintable from Cena but they have to be backed Always by expenses of either the foundation or players or whomever from the past and the liquidity is automatically locked on the decks already on the blockchain and
just waiting for players that earn the tokens to sell them back if you would like to hear that in more detail it's a very complex topic so it's no secret I love to talk to about that for the whole day come to our booth here on the exhibition and let's have a chat about it good um regarding the road map yeah we closed the pre-seed round already we closed it without VCS with just the community we have a chat room now with 170 people from our pre-seat sale and yeah it feels like a family already these guys which fill this round every morning someone writes in telegram good morning Craig and friends here some sunshine emojis and
yeah it's yeah grown like a family and many people of these guys already create fan videos or explanation videos to different stuff in our ecosystem um well actually we are in the in the seat sale in August the MVP is planned unfortunately phase four yeah we will delay that we heard from three different directions after I reached in this pitch deck that we should delay it closer to a bullet cycle and so on but yeah it will be in 2024 early team you see the four Founders in the top left my my sister Christian over there is doing the numbers Marcos
is a creative guy he has a big major media agency with 15 people in the bank which help us for example with our exhibition booths which do video material and so on for us uh down below you see two of our earlier advisors um the one is Frank he worked 25 years at Atari in different very high positions and Michelle who um yeah worked for different eye gaming providers that's the main main thing we have already two advisors here from zuk one is here in the audience Cedric and another one where and yeah the last days we were asked already if
we can give out some advisor token to a certain person maybe that would be a good idea if we can come together and onboard him to our advisor team as well good um yeah that will be the last slide partners for for tree building tree planting we use Forest Club we are in the chain link build program which provides us with very early Tech and yeah it's very important for our Unchained smart contract system for the crafting of the items of our in-game Avatar legally we are working with CMS and you need a finance our game nodes
are running on AWS where solid proof is doing the audit and we have additionally more Partners time for storytelling no unfortunately not I would like to have told you something about the prologue of the game it is so fantastic but come to our booths I tell you a story I can it's like a book it's super interesting um Well yeah if you want join us on our journey to disturb the market thank you very much
