A few months ago, we wrote this thread about the biological contamination in the Citadel.. 🧬
What are your thoughts now that more clues are emerging in @playCITADELS ?
Could this mystery go deeper than we think? 👀👇

Hey @Ultra_io Fam' 💪
I know I haven't been very chatty these past few weeks, but as you're getting to know me, you know I prefer action over words 📈
The last few weeks broke the momentum we built up in August with @Ultra_TimesEN, as we had to make some tough choices to deal with the recent crisis at Ultra.
But as you may know, crises often bring the best opportunities.
All the executives and board members at Ultra I've spoken with have suddenly realized just how much of an exceptional and valuable asset the Ultra community truly is 💥
It's been a real wake-up call, and that final snag—the one that’s been tripping us up on the road to success for years—has just been cleared away 💯
Think about it:
Years of accumulated delays on the roadmap, a dead #Web3Gaming market, very complicated communications, and yet, against all odds, we have a community that not only still believes but continues to HODL and BUIDL, filled with entrepreneurs and talented individuals who see far beyond the $UOS token price—some aren't even exposed to it—convinced that the Ultra vision extends far beyond the token and represents an opportunity for the entire gaming industry.
Today will mark a turning point for Ultra.
Not because of Gus's yesterday intervention (though it's no coincidence), but because of the agreement being finalized today between Ultra, Black Ice Studio, and the community (via @Ultra_TimesEN).
Very few of you know what's happening behind the scenes at Ultra Times and just how solid the project is:
🔸Over 20 highly motivated people, most of whom are getting ready to switch to full-time.
🔸Over 3 years of bootstrapped preparation, burning through cash under conditions that required superhuman resilience to get to this day.
🔸A long-term official partnership with the most promising gaming ecosystem of the Web3 gaming era.
🔸A six-figure fundraising round #UltraNetworkEffect.
🔸One of the most efficient community-driven organizational structures in the Web3 industry, thanks in large part to AI (6-figure fundraising vs. 24 people—do the math and think about the burn rate).
🔸A product-market fit paired with Ultra's tech: The Growth Infrastructure Strategy for Indie Game Studios.
And finally, as you know, a top-tier mastery of AI, which will soon make a team of 24 people far more productive than companies with over 100 employees stuck in their outdated SOPs and endless meetings...
But as you discovered during our August communications, Ultra Times is much more than that:
Our mission is to attract and generate maximum on-chain activity. And it's EVEN more than that, as you'll find out in the Whitepaper.
In short, Ultra is going to harness this community powerhouse as its Web3 strength, creating the renewal and operational force we've been needing 🔥
All of this makes me extremely bullish on the @UltraEco_ ecosystem, but in the short term, especially on @play_EMPIRES & @playCITADELS.
For the past two months, we've focused the vast majority of our resources on making this game duo, and the $ASH TGE 🚀, a resounding success that MUST be the spark that ignites EVERYTHING ✅
The kick-off for this new era was announced by Ultra yesterday, and the sprint begins right now to deliver as soon as possible:
🔸CITADELS Web3 Acquisition Strategy
🔸EMPIRES
🔸$ASH TGE
🔸Tokenomics (yes, and you're not ready for this, I vouch for it)
🔸The first 4 dApps to be delivered by Ultra Times
🔸Massive AI-driven content production
And much more 👀
Needless to say, the nights will be short, but it's pure joy after so many years of hard work and disappointments...
Also, don't underestimate @MetaHoof_game, it could be the icing on the cake that no one saw coming 👌
Until then, enjoy our teaser below 👇, made with an unbeatable AI production cost:
A few dozen dollars in Veo3 credits + a few dozen hours of trial-and-error / editing (shout-out to @Delt_G_).
Finally, don't forget: even if all of this ultimately fails, you are no less visionaries 🫵
Until then, join the Ultra Times Discord:

That's where all the action will be! 🔥🚀

📝 [ARTICLE] An ambitious plan is great.
But a team and a secret weapon to execute it?
Even better. ⚡
Our roadmap is solid.
Many ask: “How will you deliver?”
We’re revealing our execution advantage. 🤫👇

What a coincidence, this observation is being echoed across the market, as you can see in my colleague's tweet below 👇
The presentation we gave yesterday aligns perfectly with this shared sentiment:
🔸Indie game studios are facing fierce competition.
🔸Player acquisition costs are skyrocketing.
🔸Visibility on app stores is plummeting.
🔸Maintaining player engagement post-launch is a constant struggle.
🔸Traditional marketing and monetization models are running out of steam.
Web3 offers real solutions for these studios.
A word of caution, however: the solution isn't to make "Web3 games" or to simply integrate crypto into games.
The entire #Web3Gaming market failed by taking that approach, and it's clear that this market is now dead (except for TCGs and a few ultra-niche titles).
This is because traditional gamers reject the existing Web3 models, which are far too focused on money and offer a disastrous user experience.
Web3 must empower indie game studios to leverage their community as a growth engine.
That is the crucial first step before going any further.
This is especially relevant because our social listening (powered by our AI, of course 😎) reveals that gaming communities no longer want to be mere spectators: they crave stronger emotional and economic involvement in the gaming projects they love.
Therefore, the real challenge today is to provide these studios with the right tools, without it becoming another burden for their teams.
This is what we are building with @Ultra_TimesEN, and both indie game studios and traditional gamers are going to love it 🔥

📡 Transmission from Command HQ:
The Community Alpha is live and holding strong. A few glitches surfaced, but the response from our pioneers has been overwhelmingly positive.
And this is only Phase One. EMPIRES is just getting started. ⚔️
Ce soir à 21h pour la sortie de l’alpha d’Empires, je serai sur le Discord de @Ultra_io pour découvrir la dApp en live
On testera les premiers éléments ensemble 💪
🚨 Les portes de @play_EMPIRES ouvrent demain à 21h (heure française) pour ceux qui ont accès !
C’est tard mais n'oubliez pas que l'équipe est au Canada donc forcément un peu de décalage ! 👇
High Costs
[ULTRA FIXES THIS] @ultra_io’s technology operates without transaction fees, allows purchases without the need for cryptocurrency, and focuses on play-to-own.

Ce tableau partagé lors de l’AMA de @metahoof_game mercredi dernier montre bien la puissance des transactions gratuites sur @Ultra_io !
Les 42 000 transactions de la pré-alpha auraient coûté jusqu’à 336 000 $ sur Ethereum 🤯
