Upland is a Virtual Property Trading Game for The Metaverse

Upland.Me is a new virtual property game for the Metaverse that gives the player ownership of NFT properties as they play, and they are mapped to real physical addresses. As of a few weeks ago, the game’s developers partnered with a company named Tilia Pay to start building the world’s first truly digital economy. Upland is a blockchain-based game that involves allowing players to buy, sell, and trade virtual properties instantiated in the real world. In this article, we will be examining how they go about making this game a fun experience that is also lucrative and a foundational component in the world’s first digital economic revolution.

The Landscape

Once they join, players can purchase digital assets inside the game with fiat or cryptos, and after that they can trade the assets with other players who have a mind to trade. Importantly, players cannot cash out their UPX tokens for a set period of time after they join and fund the game. Players are however allowed to reinvest that coin into the game in hopes of generating more money. Tilia Pay specializes in assisting video game publishers and developers create economic foundations for games so that they can monetize the player interaction with other users.

The Scoop

“Upland aims to provide a clean, smooth user experience on the web, iOS, and Android in an effort to attract a wide audience. The Property-to-USD program is still in beta, the ability to sell properties for USD is currently open to 100 Uplanders. However, the team plans to increase that number gradually and the feature will eventually be available for all.” -CoinCentral

Kerbal Space Program 2, Long-Awaited Sequel Comes to PC

The Kerbal Space Program game was a very popular space-flight simulator that was released on April 5, 2015. It garnered much success across the platforms for which it was released. The sequel, to be released as late as 2023, has been delayed numerous times due to many different issues in development and funding. Now, however, the game is moving forward, according to sources, and nothing stands in the way of its release. In the main article, we will discuss the content of the game and some of the elements that may make it another win for the development team.

The Setting

The game itself is a sandbox style game that enables the player to freely explore the space environment. The game’s development has been headed up by Star Theory Games, which used to be a company called Uber Games. Part of what makes the game so popular, and re-playable, according to reviews, is this sandbox mechanic.

In a sandbox game, it is commonly accepted that the primary means of exploration are what make the game a pass/fail, so to speak; It’s what makes the game good or bad.

The Polygon Take

“For various reasons, the release date was pushed back to Q3 2021. Take-Two established a new unnamed studio under Private Division to continue development of Kerbal Space Program 2, with some of Star Theory’s employees brought into it, leaving it unclear what Star Theory’s role remains on the title. Later reporting by Bloomberg revealed that Take-Two was in talks to acquire Star Theory but abruptly changed course…”

The Delicious Last Course is a sequel to the popular PC game Cuphead. It isn’t technically a sequel by the strictest definition; it is a package of downloadable content, or DLC, that continues the story of the original. The original game was a wildly successful game that centered around the titular character, Cuphead, and his adventures through the world. In the main article, we will be examining the content of the game and how the developers intend to expand on the original story.

The Setting

Returning to the fray of the game will be popular characters such as the lovable Miss Chalice, also known as the Legendary Chalice. Also in attendance, according to sources, will be Chef Saltbaker, who famously participated in the preceding story as a key character.

The Delicious Last Course will hopefully be released tomorrow, June 30, 2022 at 6am PDT (2pm BST if you live in the United Kingdom). It will be released initially on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC and Nintendo Switch platforms. Players who pre-ordered will be allowed access to other content that is yet unidentified.

The Polygon Take

“Cuphead fans have waited five long years for the game’s expansion, The Delicious Last Course, and it’s finally almost here. The add-on will be released in June on all platforms. One of the expansion’s new bosses, Mortimer Freeze, brings new challenges and new gameplay systems to Cuphead’s style of run-and-gun fun, and Polygon recently spent the better part of an hour trying to take him down at a hands-on event.”

Eternal Threads Is a New Game On the Steam Platform 2022

Eternal Threads is an exciting new game that was released on the Steam platform earlier this year. The game is based on a puzzle mechanic from the first-person perspective that expects the player to think in a non-linear fashion to advance through the game. Each level is a uniquely designed to challenge a particular aspect of the player’s ability to solve certain complex problems. It was released on the Unity engine by developer Cosmonaut Studios and was received to relatively positive acclaim. In the main article, we will examine the things that make the game fun and exciting for first-person players.

The Setting

The player is dropped into the world as an “operative” employed by a secret organization who whose job it is to challenge the problems facing in the timestream. The player’s operative is transported to rural North England and placed there in May 2015, and he is informed that a group of six people have burned to death in a house fire in the town. The player cannot take any direct action on the fire, in the traditional sense, but they can use the unique gaming mechanic of time manipulation.

Because the game revolves entirely around the seven days leading up to and immediately after the fire, the whole game can be thought of as time travel game mixed with a puzzle game.

The Community Response

“We have been blown away by the response to the release of Eternal Threads by Cosmonaut Studios. It has been such a joy to us all to see our players give the game such high praise AND for press to have reviewed the game so highly. As we hoped, people have loved exploring the house: trying to save its inhabitants and altering the past to save the future. What we didn’t see was our release price not aligning with our fans’ expectations. We’re going to hold our hands up: at a time when global prices and the squeeze on our players have been very intense, we got our pricing wrong.“
