🎮 @gamescom 2026 what a week!
#throwback 🧬
We had the opportunity to visit Gamescom in Köln 🇩🇪 and disuss what we’ve been building with industry experts.
What made the experience especially rewarding wasn’t just being there, but hearing the feedback from people with years of experience in the gaming, 3D development, Unreal Engine and immersive experience about what we’ve achieved within a relatively short timeframe and with a very limited budget in comparison to colleagues and competitors.
The compliments regarding the foundation, quality, and potential of what we’ve built were honestly amazing to hear and incredibly satisfying.
Building something from the ground up always comes with challenges, compromises, and countless hours of work behind the scenes. So having experienced people from the industry recognize the quality of that foundation is a huge validation for the entire team.
We still have a long way to go, but Gamescom gave us an exciting reminder of how far we’ve already come. 🚀
Proud of what we’ve built.
Excited for what comes next.

One headline caught my attention last month:
“Futureverse … sold for $ 7.5m.”
Whatever your view of the company or the outcome, there’s an interesting lesson in the contrast between capital and outcome.
Building ambitious technology can be extraordinarily expensive.
I think there’s something worth exploring in that contrast.
More on that 🔜

Builders, what should I do with my 44 land plots in Hillside City? 👀 What could I build for the @xSPECTAR community that combines fun with experience?
My latest experiment:
the 100m PAZO SKY LOUNGE 🏗️🧬
⬆️ Take the elevator 100m into the sky
🌎 Enter a huge circular observation deck with panoramic views across the entire region
🚀 3 Jump Pads launch 3 players simultaneously up to 150m above ground
The idea:
Low polygon count. Simple structures & materials. Maximum functionality and actual experience value.
Built entirely through AI-assisted development without using the xSPECTAR EDK.
Now I'm really curious whether something like this could eventually be placed in @xSPECTAR as a custom build on my Hillside City plots @autentikum.
Would you like to see the PAZO SKY LOUNGE in Hillside City?

Taking a step back from the day-to-day noise of Web3 has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I’ve never been more energized.
I've spent this time reorganising, restructuring, and building the right foundations for the future.
Real progress rarely happens in public.
Nothing to announce today.
Just heads down, executing.
The results will speak for themselves.
Over the past months, we’ve been laser-focused on one thing: building a stronger foundation 🧬
Not chasing hype.
Not announcing features every week.
Building.
We’ve spent countless hours exploring how AI can fundamentally change creation inside xSPECTAR.
• AI-powered creation tools
• Waiting for key Unreal Engine updates that unlock new possibilities
• Lowering the barrier to building
• Discovering new tools for the Builders Academy
• Improving creator onboarding
• Better retention & gamification
• More fun, more social experiences
• Greater accessibility
• Better visibility & content discovery
• Easier distribution
• A browser-based low-fidelity experience
• Epic Games Store distribution
• A powerful content management system
• And much more happening behind the scenes.
None of these are isolated features.
They’re pieces of a much bigger puzzle.
Our goal isn’t to build another metaverse.
Our goal is to build a platform where anyone—from creators and educators to businesses and communities—can create, publish, discover, and grow with as little friction as possible.
Each component depends on the others.
That’s why progress isn’t always visible from the outside. A huge amount of time goes into research, architecture, experimentation, iteration, and integration before anything is ready to ship.
The exciting part?
These separate building blocks are beginning to come together.
Q4 is where you’ll start seeing the bigger picture.
One step at a time.
One system at a time.
One ecosystem.
2/🧵 Most "AI agent" setups are just a smarter intern. You ask, it does a task, you check it.
That breaks the second the work gets real. No memory. No standards. Nobody checking the checker.
Doing the work of 10 isn't the goal. You need the structure of a company.
4/10
The first generation of metaverse projects was largely built around hype, speculation, and growth-at-all-costs.
The next generation will be built around:
✅ Utility
✅ Sustainability
✅ Revenue
✅ AI-powered creation
✅ Real business adoption
