Hey Oddies!

Just wanted to start off this post by thanking everyone that’s been patient with our vision and our team. There’s a bunch of different avenues we’ve been working on and innovating in that will come to fruition in the near future.

You can find summaries for each section of our roadmap below.

Game Demo

Our team has been developing a game demo to be released in the next 6 months which would tell the story of the Oddstronauts first encounter going into the Forbidden Zone. We’re very excited and passionate to put this out into the community as its gameplay/art style/mechanics set us apart from everything out in the market currently. This will be a 3D first-person view story demo to give insight into the team’s ability for the long haul of creating an MMORPG.

More info/sneak peeks to be released in the coming months.

Someone in the federation has reported that we may be looking for beta testers, so keep your visors clean and look out for the notification on this.

Staking

We’ve recently done a survey on the server to see what people would be looking for out of staking and a common theme is most people are here for the long haul and believe in our vision of building the IP.

A few things you can look to see from staking; monthly raffle prizes which include (but are not limited to):

• 3D IRL sculptures of your Oddstronauts
• Merchandise discounts + Merchandise giveaways
• Gift cards
• Custom animated banners
• +more

We will also be giving away items that will play into the long term of our vision:

• 3D models of your Oddstronauts that can be used in any metaverse
• Boba serum
• Exclusive holders only in-game items
• … and other digital items that will reward holders for being early and can be used/sold at a later time

Overall we’ll have an even blend of items that will be exclusive and useful in the future of our development and reward holders that are here with us on this journey.

Holders holding more Oddies will have a higher % benefit and access to higher prize pools and other previously mentioned in-game utilities in the future.

Website

The team has been putting a lot of love into the website as its goal is to be easily maintained and updated as time goes on. We’re planning on utilizing our website as our source of truth where you can find all information about everything Oddstronauts.

The old website was beautiful and fun, but the maintenance of the website which we’ve come to know and love became difficult as things were scattered all over the place resulting in a lot of absolute positioning of elements, which led to issues across different devices. Having the number of animations that it did also added to the issues surrounding sustainability and user experience, especially across devices.

The new site will encompass a clean UI that best suits our brand and has a clear and thorough introduction for any current or future holder(s) who are looking to see what we’re about.

We’re aiming to launch the new website within the coming month.

Franchising

Alongside the website, we are planning on launching the IP Deck for ODD TEA & More Franchising.

Those who own 50 Oddstronauts or more will be among the first who are welcomed to open an ODD TEA & More shop of their own. There are other qualifying factors that must be met in order to be selected as a franchisee, however, the priority still goes to those who have stuck with us through our building phase.

Odd-pparel

This will be coming very soon.

We’ve been working on this for the last few months by designing and ordering samples until we found the perfect clothing and design quality. We’re still working to finish off our first collection drop ‘The New Normal’

As soon as everything is manufactured perfectly we’ll be working to make a lookbook by having a photoshoot as well as building a token gated store on Shopify. Reactive, our front-end developer, is a senior blockchain developer at Shopify working on tokengated merchandise; a perfect fit.

Apparel items you can expect to come out: (100% cotton)

• x2 Reversible Bucket hats (being manufactured)
• x1 Black long sleeve shirt (completed)
• x1 Purple Tie-dye long sleeve shirt (in the final stages of picking the right sample)
• Few colorways for a classic Odd t-shirt (being manufactured)
• x1 Graphic T-shirt (being manufactured)
• An upgradable innovative Oddstronauts plushie (being manufactured)
• x1 Classic Hoodie(being manufactured)
• x1 Sweatpants(design stage)
• +more

We are all super picky on the quality of the clothing we are producing and ordering and have gone through every possible detail to ensure that we are producing a collection that everyone loves. There is nothing worse than ordering a piece of merchandise only for it to show up and be a big-box brand t-shirt 👎

Alpha:

We’re going to do something quite unique and innovative with our merchandise drop that nobody has done yet. We’re super excited to show what is possible with Blockchain and the way that the utility can be expressed in many areas 😉

While we can’t speak too much on this, when the day comes you’ll understand what is going on and why it’s so big. You’ll also realize why you are an Oddstronauts holder.

We’re looking to drop our first apparel collection sometime in September and any digital vouchers/discounts won via staking will apply to this once it comes out.

Reactive’s Addendum

As some of you may be aware, I recently lost my dear bulldog Hugo at the young age of 1 year and 10 months old. It was an unexpected and traumatic loss that has brought great devastation to all whom he had the opportunity to meet.

Hugo is the face of the Bulldog trait in the collection (pictures below). In honor of Hugo, we will soon be renaming the Bulldog species trait in honor of him and the life that he lived.

This will not affect the rarity or the value of your NFT, but will only result in a naming update for the trait itself.

It was Reactive’s goal to share the love and happiness of Hugo with the world of blockchain, allowing him to grace everyone’s lives and share that happy, slobbery smile with everyone that sees him.

RIP Hugo

The best boy
