LGL Announces Metaverse Milestones and Board Changes
Vancouver, British Columbia - December 29, 2022 / Cision / - Looking Glass Labs
Ltd. ("LGL" or the "Company") (NEO: NFTX) (AQSE: NFTX) (OTC: LGSLF) (FRA: H1N),
a leading Web3 platform specialising in immersive metaverse environments,
play-to-earn tokenisation and blockchain monetisation strategies, announces
that its wholly-owned subsidiary, House of Kibaa ("HoK"), has significantly
advanced the development of its Pocket Dimension metaverse offering (the "
Pocket Dimension"). Through the impending achievement of numerous avatar-based
and architecture-related milestones, the Company expects to set a new standard
for the metaverse industry.
Pocket Dimension has already reached, and will soon also reach, several new
thresholds for its digital world:
* 10,000 unique generative avatars in ultra-high resolution via Unreal 5;
* 12,000 unique generative Gutter Cat Gang avatars in ultra-high resolution;
* Holders own their metaverse to use and design as they so choose;
* Holders of membership tokens are each entitled to receive a free metaverse;
and
* A generative avatar project with a spin-off live-action video series,
GenZeroes.
Previously, the Alpha Update of Pocket Dimension Alpha Update release in the
fourth quarter of 2022 included the following upgrades for users:
* 11 unique four-acre parcels of ultra-realistic land;
* Two stock playable avatars;
* Four NFT art galleries displaying stock artwork;
* Non-player character host interactions;
* Mini games; and
* The Gutter Trap House in affiliation with the Gutter Cat Gang.
The 2022 end-of-year update to Pocket Dimension currently in progress includes
the following enhancements:
* Ultra-high resolution art galleries to display a user's NFTs from their
connected wallet;
* A larger collection of approximately 60 stock playable avatars; and
* A patch manager for easier access to future updates (Windows build-only, at
this time).
In early 2023, HoK will be working to add Unity 4 and pixel streaming to Pocket
Dimension. This addition is designed to enable Pocket Dimension to be available
on virtually any device and bandwidth connection, which is expected to be a
milestone for the metaverse industry.
