[MAYG - My Angry Yakuza Girlfriend @MAYG_Game]

At the heart of MAYG isn't a game.

It's a love letter of gaming that is experimental, ridiculous, competitive and revolutionary in its scope to create an open economy game.

That's really hard to see with just a cursory glance at our core game and applying the current gaming lens of what is right or expected.

As a web3 game, the tokens and NFTs are not just features, but is what is the foundation for our economy. Along with the expansion of the IP and puts the player firmly at the center of the game at all levels.

To make the gameplay, the mechanics, balance and revenue model to make that actually work as designed, it's as hard as it gets, but also a beautiful vision, a forever game.

Game dev is hard, it's technically hard, it's frustrating because every unexpected thing happens and until you get to a point where the game is optimized, all the core features are stable, and most of all, it really has to speak at a cultural identity level to the player. This represents years of our developer's lives and all their hopes and dreams.

Games are cultural works of art that are social, interactive and exciting with the added expectation that there is something to drive a player to come back to that game over and over. No other art form has such a high expectation. Finish a book or TV series, the work is done, but you're never really finished a game until you've done everything you can to get to that expectation.

Then make it multiplayer and competitive and an open economy, you're looking a live ops, dev ops, token ops, along with the opportunity to expand it's IP and ecosystem scope.

As we get closer to releasing our second last soft launch build, we're still at least a month out from our official hard launch date for a feature complete core game to be the foundation of the entire open economy.

No one is left in web3 gaming, content creators are gone, web3 gaming traders are gone, no one thinks that a floating token can work, and, no one thinks that any game has a chance this tail end of the cycle that started in 2021.

But crypto exists, NFTs haven't lost their promise, and even if there are no 'web3 gamers' left on CT there are millions of gamers still searching for new games that truly call to them.

It's easy to safe confidently everything has been done, the play books didn't work out and gamers want this or that, but you also see the disillusion in the greater gaming industry. Yet there are still breakout games by passionate teams still hit their mark every week.

As AI production tools become even more efficient, the cost of execution also decreases, but also the scope of what is possible also increases. It's not just that there isn't a better time to make games, there hasn't been a better time to swing for the fences and make something truly special.

But with all cultural works of art, it is the human spirit that is the north star, the spark that touches the soul that makes something enduring and loved.

Our scale of our project is extremely hard to see at the moment, it's one of those things that needs to seen to be believed, and we get that. We've taken the hardest path here, because it was the only one that made sense. And every rejection or simply being ignored hasn't fazed us because this game has always been a love letter for gamers.

Fight for love.

The hotel lobby is officially dead.

Luxury travelers in 2026 aren't checking in — they're checking out of everything shared. The defining trend shaping high-end travel this year isn't a destination or a price point. It's privacy.

From the Caribbean to the Canadian countryside, discerning travelers are choosing private estates and staffed villas over even the finest five-star hotels. Not out of anti-social tendencies — but because real restoration requires real space. Yours, completely.

Think waking up with no lobby, no shared pool schedule, no one else's itinerary. Just a beautifully designed home, a private chef, and days shaped entirely around you. That's the new definition of luxury travel — and it's reshaping how we invest in the places we rest.

If you're looking for that kind of experience closer to home, Elevated Retreats (https://t.co/7r0i5ypLs0) offers curated, design-forward short-term stays where every detail is managed for you — perfect for a wellness weekend or a corporate team offsite that actually restores. For those ready for the ultimate escape, Elevated Villas (https://t.co/ebqldF6wgB) delivers fully private, staffed villa experiences built for the most discerning travellers.

What does "elevated" look like for you this year? I'd love to hear where you're dreaming of going.
