If you don’t have time to listen to the recent podcast, here are highlights from the transistor.FM interview of Carmelo Milian, by Ethan Janney, Jeff Kelley & Josh Kriger

The Polkacity game is like Roblox, but with Polkacity, you get back the money you spend and will even profit. My kids keep spending money on their characters and customizations, but with Polkacity, they will not only spend but will earn money. So, adults and kids will be in a real economy. For example, if you own a Hot dog stand, you may scalp tickets for the music events. If you have a disco, you can organize live music streaming events and if you have a stadium, you can talk about sport events or organize and stream them.

The presale was immediately sold and we are very pleased with it, shows the demand for Polkacity. We keep all the promises. I worked for Microsoft and if you told the client something, you have to keep your promise. We rather overachieve than delay our promises. If something is delayed, then it was probably Force-de-Majeure.

People keep asking how we can afford these high APYs, but we do, and the assets are getting more expensive every other week, so the APYs are getting lower. Our users have been buying art galleries, stadiums, and billboards. If someone purchases an art gallery, they own a piece of the polkacity company, because they get a share of the fees. What is gonna make our art gallery work is that we have 3D assets and we already signed with an amazing artist, and she painted the Pope before. She is from Brazil and we will announce her as a Polkacity artist soon. We believe she will attract a nice art crowd to our art section of Polkacity and bring along a lively economy and liquidity to the art market. Our marketplace is for our NFT assets and not for art. The art produced by our artists and our community will be in the art gallery. We will have a bridge to move your POLC and NFTs from one chain to another.

We have some NFTs that are suited for people with certain skill sets. For example, we have stadiums and we may use them for sports streaming services. Discos may stream live concerts and other music activities. One of the disco owners is big in Texas bar scenes and she intends to start broadcasting live music events from Texas bar scenes and our users can pay small amounts of POLC to join these services. We will do events in the treasure islands and jets/yachts will move people from the main island to the treasure island. We will organize various events specific to the treasure island. People on the yacht will be able to chat during their travels and share everything.

We have pulled together everything in a month and this shows how hard we have been working. The first release of the game will have art galleries and discos making money, and the rest of the NFT assets will start to make money very quickly. The Polkacity team helps complete this effort and our goals are realistic and we will accomplish them all.

The game will be a desktop game first because all these Augmented Reality Graphics can show themselves and shine. The browser and mobile games can come after the desktop game. You can go to the disco and meet people and chat. We will limit the number of people in a disco, once it is full, people overflowing can go to the next disco. This is the Miami Vibe!

We will definitely be a multichain platform including BSC, Polkadot, and we want to focus on developing our game right now. Binance Smart Chain is easy and we are ready for it right now. Chain bridges cost gas, so the back end takes some time, but we are ready for it. Polkacity is planet-friendly with electric cars and charging stations. Check out the demo of the testing environment. Polkacity 2.0 is coming out soon, as soon as the 3D NFT contract and marketplace contract audit comes out.

On the new website, you will be able to stake your POLC and you get your NFTs immediately. Let’s say you stake for 3 months, your tokens will be locked for 3 months but you will get your Lambo immediately. The art NFTs will have the video of the artist and the price. We will phase everything to 3D and all the 2D NFTs will be swapped to 3D versions of it. We will do a video for everything spanning from sales to setting up stuff.

We have a game roadmap we will publish soon and people will be able to see which aspect of the game will be developed and published when. We will have live streams for the NFTs and podcasts, and the NFT owners will be able to use them. You will be able to see the art NFTs within the game. We will have a shopping mall in the game and it will be connected to Amazon for real-world shopping.
