In this section the hosts discuss the upcoming release of the open world MMO game, Cornucopias. Josh reflects on the three-year journey of building the game and the community, and tease upcoming content, including a discussion on nodes, a new release, community questions, and a special guest from one of their partners.
In this section Josh discusses the excitement of fly fishing using top lures that sit on the water's surface. He shares his enjoyment of the instantaneous excitement when fish attack the lure. The video then transitions to an update on the project, where they have delivered NFTs and created a new section on their website for managing file nodes. Those who have purchased nodes can register them and qualify for rewards during the month of July. The speaker also mentions that nodes can be registered on different chains and wallets, and encourages everyone to register their nodes before the 31st of July.
In this section Rob discusses the current status of file node registrations, which stands at around 45%. He emphasizes the importance of registering to qualify for rewards and encourages listeners to do so as soon as possible. The speaker also mentions an upcoming release with Avatar updates, leaderboards, and a land plot selection tool, as well as ongoing work on expanding the game's capacity to accommodate tens of thousands or even millions of users through Amazon scaling infrastructure.
In this section the topic shifts to community questions. A viewer asks if public transportation will be the only way to travel in the city or if there will be faster methods. The speaker explains that there will be public transport, similar to the World Breaker, but some NFTs, such as the GTi Javelin, Bubblejett Bonanza, and Astro 4, will allow for faster travel between zones. However, for travel within the domes, mounts will be the faster option, which will be discussed in the future. Another question is posed about having COPI Cafe once a month for community questions, to which the speaker suggests considering Twitter spaces or Discord AMAs as alternatives. The team is planning to answer more questions in these formats but needs to discuss it with marketing. The implementation of plans can be challenging due to the agile and fast-paced development of the project.
