Quick Update:
1. Multiplayer: We are getting ready to roll out multiplayer later this week or early next. The team is in the final stages of preparation. It makes Wilder World significantly more fun, finally integrating a lot of the great mechanics and learning from the FPS and Racing game into one cohesive open world. It is a major step function change and almost here!
2. Combat: We are continuing to make changes and improvements to our breach mission system that will make the experience more dynamic. As you will have seen from some of the recent imagery shared, we are making the gameplay within the city a lot more active and intense to enhance fun. Essentially The Forum has attacked the city and is invading. Your mission is to protect Wiami. We are working on integrating the concept of controlled territories around the city, which will enable different groups to protect or take back the city. It's the first gameplay mode that I think is genuinely novel and connects everything together in a way that feels right.
3. Backpack: Within 1-2 weeks we will release Backpack, which allows you to equip certain items while you are on missions with your tribe. There is a limited storage capacity, which enables you to make strategic decisions that influence your experience. Shortly after we will add stash and storage sites for deeper / longer-term inventory management.
4. Economy: Scrap and Shards will launch soon, which are onchain items you can trade or use to materialize items in-game. You will also be able to grind for WILD, and we have developed several strategies that prevent bots, etc.
5. Expansion: We are also working on expanding into new neighborhoods, including major environment updates, and new systems like stealing vehicles, police, etc. within the city.

You can see there has also been tremendous progress on AURA and we are starting to use it to speed up development across the projects. We are currently doing 5-10 releases per day. Anyone using that product knows its rate of improvement is almost unlike anything they've experienced.
AURA is turning into an AI hub that will allow you to create and manage agents, as well as build and tokenize 3D assets. As the technology improves, the idea is that these assets are able to be brought into game.
Soon you will be able to design and create your own characters / agents, etc., and then to unleash them in the world. We are very excited about this and think it has a lot of potential to merge AI, gaming and crypto in a new and interesting way.
