@AutismCapital I have a Logitech that I bought almost 30 years ago when I was 13 with my pocket money. Still works perfectly today :)

The greatest mouse ever made change our mind impossible challenge.

@rebootagricult1 @Johnkempf @corn_porkNbeans Having your back against the wall is definitely a factor to transformative change :)

@Johnkempf @corn_porkNbeans Seems like as humans sometimes to get to this point we need to reach our lowest point, that lowest point seems to be the transformative paradigm for most people, I have seen it in my own life.

You learn real quick in agriculture: Nobody’s coming to save you. With negative markets, inflated inputs, war on the way we do things(herbicides, nitrates, etc), cancer rate blames, & one of the highest rates of suicide this hits home more than ever. It feels like everyone is against us.

@KieranWarwick Nice to hear that you also have plans for Illuvium Zero... I mean, does anyone at Illuvium even remember that it exists or do you all have collective amnesia ? I find it so disrespectful and arrogant that you won't even mention it.

Huge ecosystem update. To be clear, this is not another gaming shutdown notice, so you can breathe a sigh of relief. The last 6 months have been tough, to say the least. Sentiment in crypto is now at an all-time low. And crypto gaming is even lower. But, despite that, Illuvium pushes on. I promised six years ago that we would give it our all, and we are still in a position to come out of this bear market strong, with games that people in both mainstream and crypto want to play. We are lucky to be in a better financial position than most studios in the space, and we have recently reduced our costs even further to ensure we make it out. We have also spent a lot of time strategising about the future, and this post is the first look into our new vision. This is a focused shipping plan across the products that can move Illuvium forward fastest. Overworld We have decided to release Overworld much sooner than planned. We are targeting December 2026. We can do this by cutting out the things that are massively resource-intensive while keeping the things people love and will love. The game will have multiplayer combat, dungeon runs, bosses, creature capture, hundreds of items to collect (all on chain), open world grinding, with the focus on progression, think almost limitless progression, while adding in some spice of gambling to completely max out your ranger, illuvials, and items. For those who played the most recent test, you know all of those things (apart from dungeons) are in the game already. The big thing that will still be missing at launch is PvP. What comes next after launch will be driven by player demand. The exciting part is that we’ll run more playtests throughout the year. The feedback we got from testers was fantastic and helped us shape the final vision listed above. No more ambiguity on the release dates of 3 years from now. We’re talking a December 2026 target. Beyond This little collector's game has generated more revenue than most crypto games ever released. The fanbase is strong. But it needs more, and more importantly, deserves more. We have decided to put a small team of our best web developers onto a tabletop game using Illuvium Beyond characters. Think Unstable Unicorns meets Marvel Snap. We want to build this game quickly and make it available on the web and mobile. This game will integrate heavily into the Beyond ecosystem, including stretch goals, burn mechanics, and disk sales. I have always invested heavily in each wave of Beyond, and I know many, many others have too. Finally, we will have something to play outside of just pure album collecting (which, btw, is obviously still addictive as fuck). On top of the new game, we have Wave 5 coming up, which will complete the set 1 collection, and then a few weeks later, we launch the biggest partner collection we have ever had in Beyond. A brand that is going to turn heads, and the artwork looks beyond fire. Once Wave 5 wraps up, we move into the three-year celebration set and then into Set 2. Arena Oh, my beloved Arena, where did we go wrong with you? As most of you know, I love this game. Of course, I think things could be better if we had more characters and new content, but there is a reason you still see me in lobbies late at night: I simply love playing the game. While we have some updates to Arena, like Ascendant mode returning and rewards being turned back on, for the most part, Arena is built and released. From a development standpoint, we won’t be spending more time on it. That’s not to say we won’t be running events; we certainly will, and the first big one will be hosted by our Beyond partner. But as for development, those resources will be going elsewhere. However, that isn’t the big update for Arena. About three years ago, the head designer of Arena said to me, “You know this would sell much better if it were just a web2 game that we sold on Steam?” At the time, I wasn't thinking of ripping out all the web3 elements, since we had been pushing the crypto gaming dream nonstop for 2 years prior, so I dismissed it. Still, that conversation never really left me. Neither did it for the Game Designer, because he came to me a few weeks ago and asked to license the IP and launch it as a web2 game, with Illuvium capturing the majority revenue share (after platform fees). After some discussion with the council, we decided this was a good decision, given that his team would handle development and that all the artwork was already complete. He has promised me that the game will be ready for the October Steam Fest. Death Match The IIP has just been approved, and we’re good to start development, although we have decided only to release the game on Web and Mobile Browser. The game will feature 2d versions of Illuvials and will be accessible to almost everyone. I’m excited about this one because A) it introduces an Illuvial burn mechanic, and B) it's our first foray into risk-to-earn games, which have become extremely popular amongst crypto gamers. This game reminds me a lot of Beyond. When I first pitched that, I got a huge amount of backlash internally and externally, but ironically, it's our number one revenue-generating game by a long shot. Now you might say, “uh oh. Illuvium is doing it again, building 5 things at once.” But again, ironically, this is where we did our best work. Before, when we were building four products simultaneously, it was chaotic, but in the end, we pulled it off. This time, we are being a lot more strategic about it. Firstly, all teams are completely segregated into separate Discords, so there is no cross-over of work outside a couple of roles, like QA and UX/UI. Secondly, the products being worked on have an extremely strong foundation, and lastly, Arena “web2” isn’t being built by us at all. The reality is we need to make multiple bets at the same time. While we still have runway into mid next year, we need more revenue-generating products. So moving the release date up on Overworld by a considerable time will certainly increase revenues, but so will giving Beyond players more reason to purchase Illuvitars each wave, and likewise, Arena might finally start generating meaningful revenue, even if it’s in the polar opposite place we initially envisioned. The reality is, it doesn’t matter. We need to make moves, and we need to make them fast. And that is exactly what we are doing. So there you have it. A massive update, a huge amount to be excited about, and I know there will be some people in the comments sharing our token chart and saying “it’s over bro,” and that’s fine, but let me be very clear on this, it aint over until the final breath, and we are far, far from that, so the show goes on.

@DaysofNoahGen6 That is why we need you. All heroes do not wear capes. Much Love.

Is it just me or are there no longer any normal posts on this platform anymore? I feel like what I post is boring these days…Lol. War with Iran, Epstein Files, Alien disclosure, economic collapse… And then there’s me…start a garden!

@JakeWolki This is beautiful. Good job on raising your kids well. I remember quite a while ago, you said you bought a knife with a dull blade to Otto to teach him how to use it and give him confidence. I took that lesson with me and will do the same with my daughter soon.Thanks for sharing

If you can't find Otto, you can bet that he's with his chickens. He was quite a number now, 60+. He knows them individually. He can tell you who the boss is, who the bottoms are and can identify them by the slightest feather patterns and physical features. I'm very impressed with his chickens so far and think he's doing a great job with them. As for his bookkeeping.. Every time I say "get your bookwork and we will do some entries" he runs to grab it. He immediately wants to pour over the numbers, you never have to ask twice. "How much cash do I have? How much did I spend this month? What are all the chickens combined worth?" This heat is giving us a bit of a run around with our incubation, looking forward to hatching a heap over autumn.

@VetemorGames Those guys... Man... They started lying to our faces before the land sale. That was the first big red flag that I ignored. A few days after successfully closing it they said ILVZ was the last of their priorities, since then it has hardly changed at all. Shameless management.

When illuvium said theyd launch in late 2021 🤣

@MarioNawfal You need to give David his flowers too, he is the citizen that uncovered that fraud in the first place and took many risks with no security.

🚨🇺🇸NICK SHIRLEY'S FRAUD VIDEO HITS 75 MILLION VIEWS - FOX NEWS AIRS HIS FOOTAGE- THE INSTITUTIONAL MEDIA GATEKEEPERS JUST LOST 75 million views. Still climbing by the hour. 400,000 likes. 150,000 reposts. Fox News running his footage on national television. Nick Shirley just proved the entire thesis: One guy with a camera documenting fraud beats every newsroom in America combined. Here's what just changed permanently: Traditional media ignored the Minnesota story for years. MSNBC, CNN, local stations- they all knew about welfare fraud allegations. Nobody investigated. Too politically sensitive. Too much work. Not worth the risk. Then Nick Shirley walks to addresses, knocks on doors, films empty buildings billing millions, and gets 75 million people watching in days. Fox News didn't break the story. They're airing footage from a YouTuber because he did the journalism they didn't. That's the power shift documented in real-time. Institutional media had monopoly on investigation and distribution. You needed newsroom resources, editorial approval, broadcast access. Now you need an iPhone and the ability to read public records. Nick found $110 million in fraud on day one. Put it on YouTube. The algorithm did the rest. The incentive structure just got established: 75 million views = significant ad revenue. More importantly = proof that fraud investigation content scales. Every creator just saw the formula work at massive scale. Next week: hundreds of imitators descend on every major city looking for their viral fraud expose. Because Nick just showed them the map and the treasure's real. That's the beginning of institutional media becoming aggregators of citizen journalism rather than primary sources. The barrier to entry just collapsed: You don't need: - Journalism degree - Newsroom budget - Editorial approval - Broadcast license - Corporate backing You need: - Public records access (free) - Camera phone ($1000) - Ability to walk to addresses - Willingness to knock on doors Nick proved the economics work. Now watch what happens when a generation realizes fraud investigation pays better than content creation and requires less creativity. This is the DOGE army that can't be stopped: Centralized reform efforts get bogged down in bureaucracy. But 1,000 Nick Shirleys documenting fraud simultaneously? No institution's built to counter that. Every empty building exposed forces response. Every viral video creates political pressure. Every imitator makes the fraud harder to hide. The decentralized investigative swarm just proved it works at scale. 75 million views is the proof. Welcome to the new media. Too big to ignore. Too distributed to stop. Too economically viable to quit. Source: YouTube analytics, Fox News

@illuviumio Smoke a cig and do something for land owners

We’ve gone down. Our ship crashed on a world shrouded in mystery, and crawling with unknown dangers. We’ve run dry of Ethereon, our only lifeline home. Survival isn’t promised. 👉 What’s the first thing you’d do after a crash like this? 💬

@artbanditx @illuviumio @nYlErXz No one knows what ILZ is at illuvium. Only owners remember how they have been played by the team.

@illuviumio @nYlErXz Does mobile mean ILZ? 😉

“Duos mode could be fun.” “But first… mobile.” @nYlErXz said it best, priorities. 👀 👉 What would you push out first?

@CilComLFC @grok is this really what they say?

@kingscoriox Illuvium ripped off every single layer of player and investor, from the loyals to the small and the big. Lies and false promises is all they sell.3 T4 farmed since day one do not give enough to buy a couple of automated drone runs. How do they expect any community support at all

The fact that the Illuvium community isn't showing up is kinda crazy tbh. All of these games are great, but let's be real.

@jaganite @illuviumio The leadership of Illuvium is embarassing itself on a weekly basis. Cant wait for the next f up.

The most important aspect of spending or investing is "trust". Many of @illuviumio loyal community, including me, believed that there are only 6 stats in the illuvials. However, we found out that there are actualy 16 stats with 10 hidden. This was done to give illuvials versality for future games. The issue is people have spent a premium or extra hours believing they own perfect illuvials. Last monday, I have proposed to the IMC and team to restore "trust" by getting rid off or ignore the 10 hidden stats. Let us focus on the present and make it work first.

@illuviumio Good job with the fuel overhaul and the 89:1 concersion, 3 T4 and 2 T1 farmed since day 1 do not cover 2 automated drone run.

📜 The February Governance Newsletter is out now! From Fuel Overhaul progress to council structure reforms and MMO Lite discussions, the DAO was buzzing with activity the last 2 months. Catch up on everything the Community and Main Councils tackled—from player feedback to proposal votes. 🧠 Dive into it now and get ready… The March edition drops soon.👇

@JakeWolki The introvert entrepeneur

What are your favourite and most formative farming/agriculture/business/personal development books? I'm writing a blog with a read list, dont want to miss anything obvious. Half of my books are still in storage from the move.

@illuviumio @KieranWarwick @Rogiervdbeek This is very cool.

👀Meet BREACH—our roguelike testbed shaping Overworld’s future! Two engineers, one mission: build the foundations of our MMO-lite. Grinding bug reports as QA? You might get a shot at playing early. 🎮 @KieranWarwick & @Rogiervdbeek say more leaks are coming… Are you ready?

@iluanorCercle @IlluviumNA You are so right. It is not the first time a tournament does not happen; it is heartbreaking though. What a waste.

@IlluviumNA That's a good point. He meant the one that registered. Probably was millions since many registered in 2021. Turns out 3 years later people were not looking for it anymore. What a surprise. It was just 36 months.

The state of the illuvium games 😅😅. Where are your million players that signed up Kieran?

@kingscoriox @NyenDrach No disrespect meant here, Scoriox. You have the community you have attracted. You built a lot on token speculation and were the best ambassador for ILV. You got me and others into it. Now people feel they have been cheated and it fires back to you.

@NyenDrach Yeah but I want to surround myself with a community that cares about the game more than some token price

Wow the comments on my latest video were depressing asf. I didn't read a single positive comment. Maybe I should just quit? Lol

@iluanorCercle Sad times indeed.

@illuvination We ll be at zero before we get to 420$, you should change your challenge accordingly and save yourself some time. You are welcome 😘

Day 43 of posting a selfie every day until $ILV hits $420 per token. 👀 What is up everybody? 🙌 Here is the promised light painting😁 Not so bad for my first attempt I'd say. This is my most favourite board I ever owned, right now it's in the shop getting a big repair. 😬

@Fight4Ethereum @illuviumio Most played because people, like me, are desperate to get even a tiny fraction of the money they put into this giant fraud that is ILVZ. It is obviously not because the game is good. I do appreciate you answering though 👍

@LoyLoyGS @illuviumio Actually it is the most played game mode (if I am remembering correctly) There is incentive to play because of fuel though. I was just more curious to know OW vs Gauntlet.

Which game mode in Illuvium do you like playing more? @illuviumio
