in a district 0. In addition, players will be able to create assets and a story for a Metropolit and decide about his future.

2. How does the project planning look, and who brings all of the ideas to the table? It’s day/night work, 24/7, fully committed to delivering AAA games to the crypto ecosystem. From the ideas with our game designers to a deep discussion with concept artists, leaders and designers step by step. I’m always at every meeting to follow the advice and educate myself about every step of the development and process. We are learning,

improving, and growing every day as a team.

Play the games, find a good match, play, and repeat. I try to follow every single good review about games, and when I have time also try myself. We are not at the same level yet as AAA studios with an unlimited budget, but we are trying to reduce the gap by working harder. My inspiration mostly comes from the best game on the market as a CyberPunk, Horizon, or FarCry 6. I also find inspiration in the movies such as In time, Altered Carbon, etc.

4. Could you tell us more about what’s coming? I’m not sure where to start. From the game launcher QORPO ID (QID) to the manynew marketplace features and the first alpha test of our Citizen Conflict game mode. We have a really lot to show this year.

5. What do you think is the mostsignificant power of your project against others? Team. The majority of the team is located in the house; what’s scale of process. We are committed to our project, highly motivated to deliver AAA quality for our community, and highly competitive.

1. What is currently the most significant technical challenge in crypto gaming for your team? The biggest challenge in the crypto gaming industry is connecting blockchain and real games. The actual chains have limitations like web3+web2 requirements for user interactions, longer response time, etc. Another significant factor is security, as crypto gaming attracts a lot of criminal suspects.

2. Can you tell us more about what the setup of the whole team looks like,from developers to game designers? We currently have 5 teams in our development section, with TQL(Technical quality leader) and TL (team leader) roles assigned to every team. - Blockchain team -> working on smart contracts, blockchain scanning services, custody wallet systems, etc. - Backend team -> Working on and managing microservices related to our platform products (games, market, qorpo.id, cryptomarket scanning, etc.) - Frontend team -> Responsible for all “visuals” websites and mobile applications (not the game clients) - Unreal team 1 -> This is our first team specializing in unreal engine development and made the first version of our QorpoFramework we use in all further development in unreal engine. - Unreal team 2 -> This team was born from the Unity team after we decided to move into Unreal engine as the main engine for our development. This team has joined the framework development and started rewriting old games into the Unreal Engine 5 after retraining in unreal. - The game designer works with our framework and 3D artists to create functional prototypes of games.

1. Tell us more about the game design of CryptoCitizen. Project Crypto Citizen aims for an open-world game experience with various visual styles in the cyber world. The game will be situated on an island with 10 different districts with a unique story behind them. We are developing multiple areas with corner of the map is checked and recreated many times to get the best impression

specific genius loci to involve our players in this world deeply. Basically, every and bring the storyline closer to the player. We want to achieve an intense future world experience with all the details needed to describe the atmosphere of social, architectural, and technical aspects of future societies.

2. What challenges are you currently facing? Is there any problem or complication you have encountered in-game designing? To make this world believable to our players and the community, we need to create descriptions of hundreds of events and locations to complete one big puzzle. We are forced to change whole parts of our storyline to match the result we aim for. So the biggest challenge is to find that expansive range story with all the aspects that will create our world.

3. What are your goals regarding the development of the game shortly? The key is the environment. It’s the visual representation of the story behind this game. So step by step, we are creating small locations with strong story background, and our goal is to deliver a full-scale environment that will help us tell the immersive story.

The last month was also in the style of testing our game. Alpha Test 2.0 was fantastic! Participants had the opportunity to play not only drag races but also the first fight test for the first time, which you immediately fell in love with! We tried to satisfy as many of you as possible, which is why the participants did not have to own any CryptoCitizen NFTs. However, if they held it, we generously rewarded them! The best ones competed for a total prize pool of up to $ 4,000 in three weeks. Like every alpha test, ours didn’t do without bug testing and searching. Those who decided to help us find the bugs we also rewarded in our Bug Bounty competition! And now it’s time to fix the bugs and work on the

We are constantly trying to push our limits and our project to a completely different level in our team. We’ve made the best decision lately to move 100% to Unreal Engine 5! Our developers and designers are now working together with this revolutionary engine, which creates a whole new perspective! See demos of how metropolitan Metropolitan looks in Unreal Engine 5.
