Discussion Summary

1. Landholders outstanding debt update

• Labs is actively working on resolving outstanding landholder payments. The current plan is to begin payouts this month, provided everything proceeds as expected.

2. MMO development progress state

• The goal is to showcase in-game footage of the boss fight later this month.
• Combat is still under development, with the aim of reaching a quality level comparable to Genshin Impact.
• Multiplayer functionality is stable for 2 players, with efforts now focused on scaling it further.
• Companion Illuvial behavior is being improved to feel more like a pet, similar to the drone system, with added personality.
• The capture experience is being polished, although most likely it won’t be ready for the vertical slice.
• Quests are functional at a base level but still require polish.
• Weapon development was prioritized to test combat, with armor work to follow.
• Over 25 PvE monsters are implemented, each with unique designs and affinity variants (similar to T0s), and they already drop loot.
• Brightland Steppes has been reshaped. Day/night cycles are being worked on and may be ready for the vertical slice.
• Ranger progression is underway. Classes like Fighter, Berserker, or Inferno, and Tsunami affinities were prioritized to prepare for the boss fight showcase.

3. Quarterly Burn report

• The Q2 Burn Report is nearly finalized and is expected to be released soon.

4. Revenue distribution

• The DAO treasury is nearing the 150 ETH threshold.
• It was suggested that revenue distribution be paused and discussed with the community, in light of the need to extend runway and improve revenue figures.

5. Leviathan Tournaments.

• Leviathan will not be included in IPL Season 1.
• However, recurring Leviathan tournaments will take place throughout Season 1.
• A separate dedicated Leviathan league may be considered in the future.
• The possibility of paid Illuvial leveling was discussed and is pending Labs' feedback before any decisions are made.

6. Arena future development

• The Arena development team has transitioned to the MMO, leaving only 2 developers on Arena. Nil is now the head producer for the MMO.
• Labs is considering releasing a mini set (Set 1b) to expand and balance the Arena roster, likely to coincide with Arena Season 2.
• There are currently no plans to allocate resources to Ascendant or Survival game modes.

7. TPI development state

• Labs has already implemented internal changes to the TPI system.
• Despite some unexpected issues, they are targeting delivery within the next couple of weeks.
