because he's the host and I don't want to hijack the show after only one minute.
At least I wait half an hour before I hijack completely the show.
But Giza back to you.
Thank you. Thank you for the early non hijacking. Good to see that we've got the rest of our guests with us.
We'll do some quick GMs and then I do want to get to Baikland because I'm quite conscious
that they only have 30 minutes before they have to dip off to another space
because I'm sure it's a very busy day at the Baikland offices.
But before we do that guys, if you can go and like, I'm retweet and get this space shared out
and get some more people in there because I've got to give away for you.
And you are going to have to be listening. It's going to be all the normal rules.
But yeah, let's dive straight into Baikland and just say GM GM guys.
I saw the guarantee mint has been running for the last almost 24 hours and has gone pretty well so far.
How you guys feeling? What's up? GM nice to be back.
I think last time I was on here we just kicked off Seekersommer and preparing for the mint.
And mint. So yeah, Seekersommer first.
We had an exclusive phase agreement for Seekersommer users.
We saw over 16,000 players show up for that by the way.
And yeah, it's been super hectic but super fun rewarding to see people play and enjoy the game.
And yeah, we fully sold out that part of our sale.
So a thousand of the entire supply was being minted out.
And the guaranteed phase, which actually is, you know, we got it the White List phase.
Was going fine. I think it's picked up a little slow and state of maybe the Salana trenches.
We had maybe like a then gauge the demand side of it as we would have liked and we are announcing a supply card soon.
You'll see live on the page early out for you guys, but good news is that for those who have minted the allocation of our token buds is going to stay the same.
I'll be sharing more you know, I'm not just like saying GM of course, but yeah, just some quick alpha for you.
If you did mint origins of your in first surprise, we just got supply announcement is going to be out soon.
And yeah, I think we're on the way to mint out soon.
So yeah, anyway, happy to be back.
Yeah, no good to have you back with us. I have seen the supply cut, but I will not say anything about it.
And yeah, I think these are going to be pretty hot property in in 51 minutes if I if I am not mistaken.
Yeah, I think the guaranteed phase over 24 hours is quite a unique thing.
And we love to see people actually looking after the people who worked hard to get to get a guaranteed spot on making sure that we're not over allocating that 75 times, which it seems that a lot of projects are in the business of doing that.
But yeah, we're going to get back to you super shortly. I do just want to welcome in anomaly.
I think that's artifacts behind the account. What's up, mate? Welcome to the show.
Well, hello there. What are you doing? I'm out of fix. Hey guys, what are you guys doing?
Hey, man. Yeah, all good here. All good here.
Cool. I just finished up a bunch of my RL stuff and just like, hey, I just got to get on to this launch my NFT thingy. And you're at him. So what's up, guys?
Yeah, we're doing good, man. Just doing some GMs and we'll dive in. We'll dive into the anomaly alpha that you've got for us a little bit later in the show.
If that's good. But if you want to chime in on anything, just pop your hand up. That's how it works around here.
And yeah, hopefully we'll have some good discussion between between us all looking forward. I'm looking forward amazing. Thanks. Thanks for being here with us, mate. I'll just quickly say hello to me, foe as well.
Who's joining us on stage me. What's up? What's up, mate? I'm knowing fine. Are you guys doing I hope you you have a great day.
Thank you, mate. Good to have you with us. Well, I'm sure there'll be time for you to share what you're building a little bit later in the show. And it's a pleasure to have you with us as usual.
Now that we've got all of the introductions done guys, I think I need to hear what what Baycland have for us today, what they're cooking, what is going on in in the world.
Because man, 16,000 players on the on the seeker summer thing is no small achievement guys.
We'll see in lots of people play through it as well. I unfortunately I don't have a seeker. I have a couple of sagas, you know, retro at this point, but I might have to get myself one.
But I know that they did say that there's a browser game coming, but maybe I I will shut my mouth and let Baycland take it away.
You with the space. You hear me now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we got you. Yes, it's been super hectic.
But rewarding like I said, you know, there's so many players and somewhat incidentally like the last place I was on with you guys.
We just kicked off the campaign. I don't you guys are like, you know, 15 minutes we kick off seeker summer and I literally just plugged off the APIs for the summer. So, yeah, somewhat like, you know, the space has aligned perfectly in terms of timing.
This is where we ended the campaign with some solid numbers.
And as a game that I think first and foremost, it's the most rewarding to see people play through the quest find these tiny quirks and bugs even and Easter eggs.
So that's what was the most rewarding part of this campaign. And anyway, like as with any, you know, red free campaign incentives play a large part.
So, some people were also frustrated by, you know, the challenging parts of the game. So it's this style of talk of war between balancing the mechanics to be fun.
But again, like also catering to this audience, which is, you know, maybe, yeah, it doesn't want to grind as much or you know isn't like up for a skill base experience.
Yeah, I think from a product perspective, it has been so enlightening, you know, I think are we going to be just so much more well positioned to put this out on the app stores because we got to test it out on seeker with, you know, the amount of users we got to test like the game is kind of insane because some games don't even reach these numbers on the app store.
Right. And it's with this context that of course we went forward with the mint itself and mint was, I mean, I think like I mentioned the demand side on Solana NFTs.
I mean, there's a lot to be said there. But, you know, it's something we did not gauge as well as we should have.
But we want to make this rewarding for people who did have conviction to mint. Right. And that's why when the announcement rolls out in a while, we will make it clear that, you know, the supply cut is is going to be.
Yeah, can't really reveal the details yet. So it's fair for everybody. But, yeah.
It's it's going to be rewarding for those who did believe. Right. And yeah, I think just excited like I get this over the finish line and awesome to see people, you know, go to the crowd page, customize their origins and you might have seen those on the timeline.
There's tons of those people pulling one of ones, especially our overjoyed. So yeah, it's been super fun, super rewarding so far.
Yeah, that's awesome, man. I think that yeah, the players is definitely something that you can tell that there's something in that for sure.
I would say I actually like the fact that it was challenging and people were mowing at the game was too hard because that to me screams like it's a breath of fresh air.
From web three games aren't really games that they're more click this and this happens click this and this happens. So I like the fact that there's a skill, a skill based element to it as there should be with with most gaming.
But I think yeah, demand was on on Salona and FTs. I don't know maybe we'd have seen more in the first come first serve and that so perhaps we'll see. But I think for you guys are nailed on sell out to in my personal opinion.
I think Bayclan looks good here can't get wait to get my hands on the game and try and try my luck but super bullish on on people that are building a real thing and there's no you can't replace the feedback you learn from people actually giving it a go at the end of the day.
So I think the way you've handled it with seeker summer is is a really good way to get some people actually testing the game and trying to break it because at the end of the day, you know, that's what the D gens are going to do. They're going to go try and go crazy and see if they can manipulate it or find not exploits.
But you know what I mean like what's what's the most effective tactics available for playing Bayclan but I've I've loved seeing the the customizer ability of the of the NFTs and I think that that itself is is an interest in mechanic to not sure when anyone else thinks or if perhaps you have anything to add again, Bayclan.
Yeah, not really I mean, I think one thing I would add is the fact that we saw a lot of players actually mending these NFTs so that's something which is super bullish for me personally because the people who have used the game play the I mean interacted with the product those have been the converted users like in terms of the main like they want to hold these NFTs they're having fun mending them.
And that's what we envisioned I think of yeah so in terms of distribution that was our goal goal was to like accumulate this community which you know would participate in the upcoming browser version as well I think it will translate to that and in some ways having this smaller supply, you know, just just really helps have a more cohesive community of especially for an early product so.
I don't think you know like it's necessarily a negative at all like especially after seeing people in the disc or just waiting to rep it in game actually dappin does you do then look for a quick flip right so i'm happy we have not attracted the latter as much and yeah I think this prepares us way better for the long run and also for our upcoming G4 so yeah.
I'm in line with that I think people holding origins are going to be super happy that's going to be my goal to ensure that they are and just want to make sure everybody wins I think this is the best way to ensure that yeah I agree and I think what you said there right at the start was actually pretty on the money people that have played the game.
Mint in the nfts in in large quantities is a really good thing to see because it means.
Generally that they're mint in the nfts to use them in the game which is exactly what you want and yeah there's obviously something to be said for for flippers and spot an opportunity but I think.
Yeah you guys are handling it brilliantly and I can't wait for 41 minutes we see the first come first of see what happens there and yeah I hope you guys are cooking and like we can have you back on for some some big updates.
With the game and the and the tga or sure yeah and I do remember what you said about you know it's stuck on really stuck to my mind what you said about games as onboarding and how that played a role for you.
Right coming on the web to you so.
Yeah that's our goal and I think would love to plan something around that and possibly you know you spoke about like events you have on me clan so I still have that in my mind will definitely be planning something with you guys.
Awesome yeah we can get some we can get a game night live stream going maybe I think that could that could definitely be fun watching me and a stick a go head to head on something is there like a pvp mechanism to the game or is it just.
Play through the game so we are coming up with the battle in the upcoming updates but there's more of like dungeon reads which is the priority so.
You'll be able to risk a certain amount and actually go in the dungeons and might have mentioned this last time in fact but yeah the core idea is you do risk something so that the game isn't purely driven by emissions but depending on your skill you can like earn like a larger amount right so it's going to be a mix of skill based and RNG which is what games like game beer or giga verse I think the great examples of how to do that right.
