NEO FANTASY is a blockchain-based metaverse game that combines NFT and DeFi into the gameplay in-depth, creating an ACGN world for users who like to explore the Metaverse by ACGN RPG games .
With the maturity of the GameFi market, the players are becoming well educated and eager for more high-quality blockchain games with reasonable and effective in-game economic design, sophisticated and enjoyable gameplays, and better experiences comparable with traditional games, which are exactly what NEO FANTASY is dedicated to present to the GameFi market and the global players.
By combining the PVP and PVE gameplay creatively, NEO FANTASY ensures endless fun while exploring the game world. The massive and fantastic dungeons in the game allow players to apply multi-strategies to win rich rewards, meanwhile, enjoy the purest fun of the game itself.

Differently from most other NFT games, the concept of STAR ASCENDING in NEO FANTASY brings a novel way of NFT synthesis. The consumption of NFT Heroes of the same race allows players' redundant NFT to be valuable and beneficial at any time, improving in-game NFT liquidity and ensuring the stability of players' earnings.
The early investment is always being worried by GameFi players. To lower this barrier, NEO FANTASY provides a Free-to-Play way for players. Free NFT claim enables players to start their game and accumulate their in-game wealth without extra money-cost.
NEO FANTASY has earnt attention since its first establishment and built cooperation with VCs and other partners. The good endorsement will increase not only the reputation of NEO FANTASY but also gather over $1,500,000 during the initial fundraising stage from Shima Capital, NEO Smart Economy, and some other institutions and personal investors.
After a long and careful preparation, now, NEO FANTASY is ready to shock and show what a good GameFi project should be to this world, which has been silent for too long.

Jay Park Executive Produces "Rollin'" (Prod. GroovyRoom) as Newest Theme for Gen.G as Organization Heads Into the League of Legends World Championship
Global esports organization Gen.G today has officially named Korean American record producer, singer-songwriter, recording artist and entrepreneur, Jay Park as the Executive Music and Entertainment Advisor to help Gen.G build the bridge between the Korean music community and gaming. Park will be the executive producer for music and content that showcases big moments for the team and the organization, starting with Gen.G's entrance into the League of Legends World Championship 2022 with Mirani and GEMINI's new song "Rollin','' produced by GroovyRoom, advised by Jay Park .

Jay Park Executive Produces
"Rollin'" is meant to signify the story of how this newly formed 2022 Gen.G roster came together, with the goal of League of Legends World Championship being the culmination of everything the organization has accomplished this year. The song showcases young artists Mirani and GEMINI, and a cameo of the just-released Gen.G League of Legends World Championship jersey, designed by Heron Preston, featuring artwork by a traditional Korean calligraphy artist. The traditional artist's work was featured in order to highlight the Year of the Tiger as well as writing a new chapter in Gen.G history.
"Practically every young artist I've worked with has mentioned how into gaming they are, so this is very exciting to be working with Gen.G to give incredible artists like GEMINI and Mirani to the global gaming audience," said Park. "This year, being officially new to Gen.G, I wanted to make 'Rollin'' to pay tribute to an incredible LCK championship run for Gen.G and show my support for them as they try to make history at Worlds."
As Executive Music and Entertainment Advisor, Park will focus on bringing in different music artists to collaborate with the organization. After working previously to make the "ALL IN" song and music video last year for Gen.G in celebration of the team's broadcast debut against rival T1, Gen.G CEO Arnold Hur and Park wanted to create a platform that could showcase and highlight young up and coming hip-hop and R&B artists in South Korea who often struggle to get the marketing opportunities and exposure they deserve.
"The intersection between gaming and music continues to grow, so to have Jay's talent and vision only amplifies our commitment to deliver unforgettable experiences for our Tiger Nation," said Hur. "With everything we have planned in the near future, we needed someone to creatively help us define and execute on the excitement Gen.G has in store for our fans and partners. "
The League of Legends World Championship began on September 29 .

Reinvigorating and repurposing the tedious daily travels, KDrive intends to become the bright and brilliant successor of mobility apps featuring web3 drive-to-earn concept with GameFiSocialFi elements.

In this mostly automatable and virtual day and age, the demand and desire for daily physical travel are experiencing a significant decline. " Tedious ", " redundant " and sometimes " pointless " can probably encapsulate the feelings of many modern fellows – " Why go out when you can just stay put? ". In response to this, KDrive introduces a novel activity motivator aiming to challenge that way of thinking and to show users what it means to "make the most" of a seemingly trivial routine of most people's day.

Within the ecosystem of KDrive, users are entitled to a number of fascinating in-app features:
NFTs system
The offered range of NFTs can be differentiated according to their rate of profit. Each line possesses certain qualities that directly affects how much users can expect to earn and, consently, their retail price difference. The option for staking is available to users in the demo version, which facilitates the use of strategic buying and saving to achieve the optimal profit. Additionally, there is a possibility for users to create and market their own NFTs to render alternative revenues.
Demo version
Users can anticipate in the demo version sophisticated 3D graphics with most of the aforementioned features, promising a great overview of the ecosystem, though the earning aspect is to be available in the official app release. This is to ensure the smooth operation and tackle heads-on any issues before the official launch to guarantee the best possible experience for the users.
Project legitimacy
A mindful project checking all the boxes for security: SAFU-contracted, KYC-checked and properly audited the best of respective agencies.

'Critical Core' is an innovative and interactive game designed to inspire social confidence and build self-esteem for neurodiverse adolescents
Game to Grow a non-profit organization dedicated to the use of games for therapeutic, educational, and community growth, released Critical Core this Fall, a first-of-its-kind, tabletop RPG (role-playing game) designed specifically for children and young adults on the autism spectrum, as well as those with ADHD and other learning and processing differences.
Critical Core by Game to Grow
Game to Grow Co-Founders Adam Davis and Adam Johns , known endearingly in the mental health space as 'The Adams ,' have spent over a decade exploring and developing modalities around game-based therapy, facilitating group gaming sessions designed to combat isolation and build confidence in kids. Critical Core was designed to offer an encouraging space for kids to grow relationship skills and creative problem solving. After officially launching their non-profit via crowdfunding in 2017, Game to Grow partnered with Hong Kong -based DentsuMB – a creative agency with an emphasis on social good – to ideate and develop Critical Core . The game was also developed in collaboration with pediatric occupational therapist Dr. Virginia Spielmann (Executive Director of The Star Institute for Sensory Processing ) and the ICDL (Interdisciplinary Council for Developmental Learning).

"Before starting Game to Grow, we held drop-in groups for kids to play games like Dungeons & Dragons , which was a big inspiration for Critical Core, " says Adam Davis , who holds a master's degree in education and utilized his training in drama therapy to develop this unique game-based model. "Our approach has never been about addressing any kind of 'deficit,' but rather creating a space where kids can flourish socially on their own terms."
To better prepare facilitators of therapeutic gaming sessions, Game to Grow offers comprehensive training on their specific methodologies and best practices, including on-demand workshops and webinars tailored for mental health professionals and educators who utilize gaming in their practice. A knowledgeable team of therapists, psychologists, and autistics advised the Game to Grow team throughout the development stages to ensure that Critical Core met its primary therapeutic goals in building social confidence, frustration tolerance, emotional resilience, and caring for others, all while rolling dice and having fun.
"We create an intrinsically appreciated environment for socialization," says Co-Founder Adam Johns , Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. "The gameplay and structure of Critical Core (along with the training processes) are rooted in positivity and flexibility. We create an environment where players can make mistakes without feeling ostracized from the group, and gameplay can be tailored and adapted to best suit each individual's unique needs."
Critical Core was originally launched on Kickstarter in 2019, fully funded in 8 hours, and backed by 3,157 backers from around the world. Hundreds more have pre-ordered physical kits through BackerKit, and over 500 individuals have purchased the digital version of Critical Core . As part of the Kickstarter, supporters could purchase "Good Cause" copies to be donated to hospitals, clinics, schools, or other sites. Over 500 donated copies will be delivered at no cost.
The tabletop game will include physical components like cards, dice, tokens, and maps. As the majority of group sessions have been held virtually in recent years, the organization looks forward to sharing tactile components that will elevate the gaming experience, especially as in-person group sessions begin to return.
"The most satisfying thing has been witnessing the connections these kids have made with each other as a result of this community," says Adam Davis , "particularly for those who have struggled to cultivate meaningful friendships in school or extracurricular activities. While traditional developmental therapy does a great job in teaching 'social skills,' our goal has been to give kids the opportunity to apply those skills and improve upon them in a safe, welcoming environment."
The tabletop edition of Critical Core is now available for purchase. For more information on Game to Grow and Critical Core , visit gametogrow.org and criticalcore.org . Those interested in supporting the organization can donate and learn about other ways to contribute at gametogrow.org/support/ .
