Just waiting for Elon to change the name…
MUCH more news coming all week and next
About to push a LOT of HQ content

PSA: A lot of projects will attempt to copy us this year.
We've been lowkey at the forefront of innovation in web3 for a while.
Keep in mind tho when looking at our gameplay cuts:
- I've started working on the LLF IP 10 years
Studios building LAZY UE5 Lyra skins are not serious
PC Shooters built in Unity ain't serious
UNINSPIRED & bland web2 copycats ain't either
People shillin these projects ain't serious
Tierlists built to shill paid sponsors. NOT serious
Web3 Gaming is STILL inevitable
Just bought an additional 3

Is the Clay fam gonna raid the dad?
I guess we’ll figure when I wake up.
@jords
@LowLifeForms
will be widely recognized as a web3 flagship for creative excellence
People will continue to pretend they were bullish on Solana all long.
Degens will keep getting liquidated on the way up
Ghosts will stay on top
Brother, do u realize how easy with our connections it would have been to goldrush a gaming token or presales on a new collection during that mini bubble?
Our ambition is much greater. On all ends.
You still haven't caught up. A few real ones have.
So NOT my best picture (I blame

First of all it’s a mf cult, aight? And, yes, I may or may not have witnessed eerie rituals, virgins with the softest skin dancing into the moonlight, while we feast, sing and chart.
I'm a hard man to impress but what the

has managed to build in this space is really quite spectacular. The community, the alpha, the irl events.
Been almost a year since I joined, but today I finally mint my Wolf. An absolute badass beauty - with a very LLF palette.
Dec 13. The long process of ME REPURCHASING MY STUDIO is finally official.
I cut a gameplay video immediately, to capture the spirit of freedom & just pure fun of what we're building.
Was also a test. Who would notice & enjoy?

I went to WAR for Solana.

EVERY. SINGLE. Conf sucked a*s this year. Crypto/NFT ones (IYKYK), Gaming ones, Biz ones etc. Venues are empty. No Women. If lucky, a couple of nice side events..
@SolanaConf
BP was different. It was actually as GOOD as the weather was BAD. And boy was the weather bad. Bad AF.
Been in crypto for 7 years now.
Got hacked for the first time yesterday. Like an absolute n00b. Exhaustion is a thing. Cutting security corners too. Be careful my frens. Peeps are hungry out there. Some are ready to go the malicious extra mile.
We'll be fine tho

There is 1 Team on Solana that encapsulates imo the hard working ethos, humility & honesty.
A friendly crew of DEAD Kings & Nobles that might turn DEADLY once in the Can.
Yup
@DeadKingSociety
founders

& DKJ - also part of our studio supporters & our Based Cartel
Anon if u re at GDC and u see me around at the conf, the Marriott or any side event, don’t hesitate to connect.
I may look like I’m a security guard, but I’ll be nice, promise.
People are sometimes surprised how confident I am with the game/world we've been building for 4 years.
Just yesterday someone came to the studio to play. Was supposed to be for 45mn. Ended up being 2H. We were laughing & having genuine fun.
$ is cool, but truth is I have plenty
Since everyone be talkin about their "Gaming committee", let me tell you about the LLF BASED CARTEL.
Legends with Skin in the game (and our studio)
Wen I grabbed my studio back & thought bout who'd be great to get on my side, my very first thought went to
@SOLBigBrain
Who else
From Weak Earthling streets to the galactic slums of the Hellhole, if u face a crew with some balls & cred, u start by givin em a warning.
Do u know who we work for? Do u know who has our backs? Before things get ugly
Now.. Do u know who has OUR backs anon?
All CT eyes on Jup today. Which means Solana...
Which means people are gonna think about the big narratives of the next bubble x Solana...
So Gaming x Solana...

I've been talking to a lot of traders who are great at calling price action direction, but don't fully optimize their potential gains by using anything other than XBTUSD & spot.
So here's a thread on futures:
When I see some of the web3 games that CT/KOLs get excited about.. The bar is still so very low
Average gunplay, meh movement, lackluster IPs, terrible creative direction.. Seems the projects rewarded by mindshare are often just the teams that perform well at 1 specific game.

brought to the table.
Here's a quick Cut I rushed from OLD pre-alpha in-engine footage from when I was testing our "4" Emote a while back.
4 Billions
I may be older than the Gameboy, but I still have that teenage thing, obsessing over a song, and hearing it on repeat in my head (or maybe I'm just mental)
Good news is my musical taste is goated
Better news is I'm tryin to synch the track for our next cut
1 thing that is clearer to me than ever is that it's just soooo much easier to build a copycat. Same old stuff, just well executed. Feels safe for $ peeps, easy to pitch & the "metrics" are there (Boredom not being quantified).. So I've decided to..
Absolutely not give a fk

I don't know man, at this stage, deep into the night, it just feels like poetry.
Sometimes I just get lost in Cygnus X-1, planet hoping, monster hunting.
If you could see what I can see..
Growing up in France in the 80s/90s basically meant being raised on Japanese anime on TV.
Among em al - Dragon Ball was king.
RIP KING. Thx for the childhood fun.
Today I still use DB as a ref for animations in my game.
And 🙏 for one of the very best OG Bitcoin memes
Imagine being Bullish on crypto
Bullish on Solana
Bullish on web3 Gaming..
And not joining the ONLY web3 gaming studio that has C-level peeps that have actually shipped multi-Billi $ AAA games (CoD, etc) & multi-B$ Crypto company.
Couldn't be me.

Listen mate. I'm not saying that to write stuff about Space criminals you NEED to have first hand experience with gangsters, lowlifes and organized crews from your teenage years and what not..
But it certainly does help.
Back at my NY studio rocking my

jacket like a Chad.
Not only cause the Merch makes me look younger, fitter & generally more attractive..
Or ups my productivity by 7%..
NGL I like that Swamp Witches spitted on it too..
But mainly cause I lost my other jacket in AMS
We have objectively the best CTO/Tech Lead in all of web3 gaming. Frankly it ain't even close.
And it's sooo important. Which will be sooo obvious wen it's time for proper UA.
Meanwhile a lot of u r investing ur time & (somewhat) hard earned $ into template-y bug-y mediocrity.
I started drinking WINE at a v young age.
90’s FRENCH countryside culture was BASED af. Oldtimers would hunt & cook. Loads of meat & top produce. Drink so much & always give u ur sample.
Never thought I’d be able to accumulate one day all these treasures. Here’s to you lads
There's been a RUMOR
Sayin that I've been workin on the
@LowLifeForms
IP & Lore for 10+ years (wtf)
I'd like to make 1 thing absolutely CLEAR
It's ENTIRELY TRUE.
LLF before being a web3 game, was a game design doc & before that, an epic world I built for a 3D animated series.

It’s OK to admit you were wrong.
My DMs are open
@jbarro
Yeah, hacking and identify theft were unheard of before cryptocurrencies... Remember when the world (and finance in general) was so pure and innocent before 2009...
For 7 years, despite being uber active in our space, I haven’t been very vocal on social. Understatement. Might be time to change that, so starting with a lil thread on my
@solana
journey. NFTs bags, past & present. Will post more on crypto/web3 gaming later this week🧵
@brycent_
Very true. It’s disheartening sometimes as a passionate content builder. A lot of web3/nft peeps can’t tell the difference between quality and garbage.
In the middle of a big AI update on
@LowLifeForms
Roberto been doing his magic. Things about to get crazy.
The game just getting better every day. Not even fair how far ahead we are gameplay wise.
The past few weeks been beyond intense. From GDC to dev/playtest sessions to VC meetings. 16h workdays, lack of sleep.
So today, I did what I always do in these cases: Writing & world/story development. A new LLF arc inspired by these very few weeks.
LLF doing LLF things.
Last time I was in Amsterdam was 7 years ago…
I shot the biggest Dutch top model for a lingerie campaign, got invited everywhere and got paid a bunch to do so.
Now I drink beers, high on shroomz, with my jpeg friends.
Time to question my life choices.

Grey hair. Depressing nights. Exhaustion. Anger at myself. Stolen funds.
All forgotten when I hear my kids play in the pool.

Thankful for having the best family a Man can dream of.

Yeah it’s a low blow according to boxing rules. Lot of people seem to think a low blow is nuts based but it ain’t. A shot under the navel is a low blow and this is one regardless of the high shorts
You can never underestimate the power of a long series of supervised Playtests with people from all spectrums of the gaming aptitude.
This week's updates from the post-GDC observations made the game so much better. Gunplay is absolute fire.
And what CHAIN did this AAA Team CHOOSE?
After our Tech DD in Mid 21? ($25~)
And did I rush to IDO wen rip to $260?
Did we Fk off at $8 eh??
Did we take the grants from ghost chains with good BD?
