Thurstober, the Discord horse racing game, has decided to implement a Chain Agnostic strategy in light of recent developments. The team had already considered a scenario like this and has designed their product to be cross-compatible and web-first, enabling features such as $OATS (their utility token) depositing, Discord-racing horse naming, and Race Replay Web Front End.
Their plans involve offering web-first assets that can be bought with traditional fiat options and adding support for multiple chains, allowing users to move between web 2 and web 3 assets. This helps US customers access different chains or avoid dealing with crypto altogether, while still maintaining the uniqueness of each horse asset.

The Gunny team this week introduced Hazel, one of the heroines in their upcoming battle royale game. A natural leader with a strong bond to the Kingdom of Earth, Hazel has always been fiercely protective of her people. Having grown up with Kai, another character from an adjacent realm, they were close friends until war separated them. Hazel’s unwavering determination and courage make her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
We are absolutely loving the design and lore surrounding this character!

Arcadian Tales, the Discord-based RPG game, has introduced some exciting and useful new bot updates. Players can now craft Badges in the shop, thanks to the addition of new resources, Crude Ore, and elemental Shards. These Shards can be found while wandering in 12 cities, excluding Haven, with each location having a unique element. Basic Badge crafting, like Strength Badge and Dexterity Badge, allows players to equip these badges in a separate equipment slot from Cards, granting a +1 stat boost. Crafting or purchasing them from the store requires 5 Crude Ore, 100 $ARC, and 5 shards (3 major and 2 minor). Additional bot updates include the return of the help feature and fixes for slash command timeouts. Happy crafting, adventurers!
