Falling from some height on solid ground will also kill you, or hurt you. Using a Zipline is usually safe, unless you bump into something. You can also climb down the cliff, but that is for the pro! #metaisland #cryptocurrency #metaverse #gamefi #tutorial

I have posted about Web3 in my Linked in here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nicolaschoukroun_metaisland-gaming-ai-activity-7022780462448205824-PQ2K I see so many inaccurate Web3 posts that I have to clarify in a simple way. What Web3 is:– tokenization of the web, blockchain integration to the web, decentralization of the internet storage and execution. What Web3 is not:– AI, VR, a religion, a solution to all the problems.So Web 3 is like torrents or Tor network in a nutshell, it is...

Players can interact with the island, engage in activities, and participate in an economy that uses blockchain technology. The game is designed to be similar to the series LOST, where the gameplay is similar to Uncharted with an engaging storyline. The virtual economy of the game allows players to own, rent, tip others, and spend cryptocurrency in the game. Players...

This is a small video showing in accelerated what is happening when the Island is dying when people are not participating enough. In that case the island is rebooting and you have to restart from scratch. You are not losing your #NFT so it is not that bad. However if you had some #crypto or your favorite #game free assets, like we*apons then they are gone and you have to re-equip yourself. Take care of the #metaisland by #participating, shooting […]

The Daemons Do magic The Daemons and heavily mutated humans who can control the crypto crystals and generate magical like energy burst that are similar to magic. They were forced out like the others by Wolf’s team in order to protect the human genome, but this resulted in a bloody war between the Daemons and the Humans. The war was won by humans, thanks to the crystal vibration that are making the Daemon brain explode.

With UE5 a lot of parts of the map are upgraded and are looking much better. The use of Lumen the latest global illumination system of Unreal is changing the visual and everything is looking more realistic. Cyber is having the Punks controlling the place, and you better have a Punk NFT set on your profile when you enter the area. If you don’t you will probably be killed by the guards. The Punks don’t like anyone to enter the […]

The island needs food to survive. There is a farm close to Slum ville, half way to the beach, where they are growing all kind of vegetable.

It is a booster to its capabilities. For instance, the Aquaman series will give you the ability to stay under water without going back to the surface to breathe. The Military series is our first, and has 4 sub categories; the helmet, the scarf, the headband, and […]

The musical complexity factor theory is a personal way to scale every type of music and determine its complexity. While most of the data is empirical, it gives a good idea about how I create the music and my choices of music for the game. 100% is what an average brain can handle. While everyone is different this is an average. If the music is lower and has a ration inferior to 100%, then the brain has no issue digesting […]

When I first loaded Metaisland in Unreal 5, here is what I got. The Skybox system had lost its parameter and all the lightning was reset! After a couple of days of work, I got this result instead. All the environment is now working with Unreal Engine 5. But this had learn some lessons: Nanite is not liking foliage and we in general cannot use Nanite in Metaisland. This technology is amazing for specific use (big high poly rocks). If […]

I have done a short video to show you from inside the editor the new Ocean / Water simulation. It supports caustics, foam and underwater. The player will be able to swim and reach some hidden stuff inside the water.

Every problem has a solution and sometime when you try to fix a problem you come up with a solution that is an improvement. One of the problem with UE5 was that all imposters were totally black. (check my previous blog post) What happen is that the octahedron impostors, a technique created by Ryan Brucks were totally broken. Billboards Impostors are a technique used to display a 2d sprite at a certain distance from the camera so that huge forests […]

That is not an easy task. Since my first tests 10 months ago with the beta, a lot of things have changed in EU5 and here is the result of my first tests.! It Sucks! There are some major regressions that needs to be fixed. The situation is that a lot of essential things are not working at the moment: The water is broken, it is just a flat black material A lot of LOD trees are broken, they are […]

While we are ramping up the marketing for Metaisland and preparing to build the community awareness about this Metaverse project, I have built a very small version of the introduction video, only 2min! The music is made by our magical Ethan Lewis Maltby, and in 2 min you get a glimpse of what kind of project Metaisland is. Enjoy and share it as much as you can!!!

After a lot of discussions about Metaisland, specially because other’s already used this name for some NFT sales and it would be more difficult to get at the top of the search engine with such a popular name; Hassan (Hatu) Sheikh the co-founder of Daomaker, and also our friend on the project finally got it right. Once Plan9 came with the logo we all agreed that it was more inspiring than the old W.O.K idea. WOK is an utensil to […]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

I have published a new updated media gallery for January 2022. There are some new area like the Tesla Coil area and of course the Cyber town area. I am working on the AI and NCP aspect of the game, but I have to do a lot of retargeting, so the movies with NPC will have to wait. The media gallery is here: https://blog.metaisland.gg/media-gallery-january-2022/ Here are some example.

Happy New Year from the W.O.K team. Are you ready?

As every two month I publish a playable demo, here is the November 2021 edition. You can find it here, or in the download section of the website. This month is focusing on the main character. I have added a lot of basic actions, like guns, rifles, climb to anything, and basic enemies logic. I have also many different characters to choose from. In that demo you can switch from first person shooter to third person shooter with C You […]

This is the demo for October. It features most of the new additions to the game.

WOK techniques: Ground. In this image you see the sand which is a terrain shader & tessellation, with a transparent road spline over it using displacement map and virtual texturing, the dead leaf is a procedural sprite, the slabs are 3d objects added manually.

Here is a video update about what is been added to W.O.K recently

I have updated the website with the new Media Gallery September 2021 and with a video showing the game. Click on this link to go to the picture gallery: https://wok-game.com/media-gallery-september-2021/ And here is the video.

At regular interval an alarm is warning the players in the world of WOK that mining will happen. They have to rush close to a mining facility if they want to catch some free crypto mined the way you can see in the video. The gems/stones can have many different shapes and values. But you must be quick, the gems are dissolving rapidly and disappear. It does not cost electric and is a lot more fun than mining another crypto!
