INDUSTRY MARKET
Good Gaming Inc. | November 24, 2021
Good Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB: GMER) (the "Company") is pleased to announce new updates for its first to market blockchain NFT game MicroBuddies™ and the release date for its latest beta testing format, Beta 2.0. The Beta 2.0 version is scheduled to launch on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, at 7:00 PM EST. Pertinent game updates in their respective categories are highlighted below:
Global
The Company performed a massive trait rework/overhaul to the game.
Over 200 traits have now been updated with over a dozen entirely new traits.
Mutations that were too common have been reworked, making mutated mutations more exclusive.
Divine buddies are now themed.
The max Peg value will now be 5.
The supply peg is now 5 billion.
A Buddy "Lock" has now been added, which will prevent Buddies from interacting with the game in any way. This is a must-have feature for avoiding replication/GOO transfer scams when buying/selling MicroBuddies™ on OpenSea.
MAJOR performance improvements have been made to all underlying functions. This update aims to greatly help MetaMask estimate gas fees and make gas limit issues a relic of the past.
3rd Party Support
We have added listenable events for all replications, synthesis, extractions, and Apoptosis.
Anyone can now call the burn function on their Buddy's GOO.
Apoptosis
Fixed Apoptosis subtracting 1 GOO instead of granting GOO.
Any GOO an Apop'd buddy is holding will be burnt instead of continuing to exist and weigh down the peg value in the dead wallet.
There will now be an option to mass Apoptosis all of your Barren buddies with a confirmation screen.
Exchange
There is now a function to "max out" a Buddy using GOO from all of your MicroBuddies™, which will be extremely useful for fast transfers and GOO consolidation at the replicator & GRC.
Using max out will send GOO from MicroBuddies™ in the order you have them sorted. e.g., If you sort by encumbered, you can easily move the GOO from all of your (extraction) encumbered buddies.
Extraction
Improved overall efficiency of GOO extraction.
GOO minted over a MicroBuddies™ max will now be burnt. This will come with a warning in-game.
Notifications about extraction encumberment are now consolidated into a single message, rather than spamming your screen.
GRC & Replicator
"Use All Buddies" now pays for replications as efficiently as possible, starting with the Buddy with the highest GOO balance and ceasing checks once the MicroBuddies™ replication can be afford
Our updated documentation with all updates in detail can be found at.
MicroBuddies™ fans have an opportunity to participate as a beta tester in Beta 2.0 as long as they purchase a Nano Factory Token prior to the "snapshot" that will take place on November 24 at 9:00 am. Interested gamers are encouraged to join our discord, where additional instructions and information will be provided to beta testers.
The Company is also pleased to announce they will be attaching a 0.01 MATIC fee (less than .02 cents USD at the time of posting) to every transaction that creates a new MicroBuddy. Not only will this create another revenue stream for the Company, but it also gives us the ability to automate paying the storage fees associated with images and ensures data permanence in the future. This solves one of the most significant issues affecting the NFT space today.
Douglas Adam "Fluxty" Wathen, Crypto and Gaming Director, stated, "Beta 2.0 is the result of taking full advantage of all the amazing gameplay data and feedback we've received from our Nano Factory Token holders since the beta began. The update will greatly improve game balance, useability, security, GOO tokenomics, 3rd party apps support, and more. With the help of our testers, we expect to determine an exact Q4 2021 launch date for MicroBuddies™ as soon as we've verified the update is stable, and I am extremely excited to finally put MicroBuddies' best foot forward for the world to enjoy."
About MicroBuddies™
Good Gaming, Inc. is in the final stages of preparation for the mainnet launch of its first-to-market collectible NFT game, MicroBuddies™, where players will be able to collect lovable, self-replicating microbes that passively produce their own in-game currency GOO™.
GOO™ can be used to replicate new MicroBuddies™ from existing ones and customize their genome using a strategic artificial selection process. Well-bred MicroBuddies™ will have a high rate of GOO™ production, so players who develop their skills will be able to create greater opportunities for themselves.
At the Polygon Mainnet launch of MicroBuddies™, a player will use their special Nano Factory Tokens to synthesize Generation 0 MicroBuddies™ and begin the game. The first 2,500 MicroBuddies™, collectively known as Generation 0, are expected to be the rarest and most scarce set of MicroBuddies™ and what the rest of the game will propagate from. If the Nano Factory Tokens sell out, or a player fails to purchase a Nano Factory Token prior to the launch of the game, the only way to acquire a MicroBuddy and play will be to first purchase one from another player on the secondary market at the fair market value.

Google | June 22, 2020
A team of Google researchers has created a new technology to take the immersive augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences to a new level. New research shows the ability to record, reconstruct, compress, and deliver high-quality immersive light field videos, lightweight enough to be streamed over regular Wi-Fi. “We’re making this technology practical, bringing us closer to delivering a truly immersive experience to more consumer devices,” said Michael Broxton, Google research scientist. Photos and videos play a huge role in our day-to-day experience on mobile devices, and “we are hoping that someday immersive light field images and videos will play an equally important role in future AR and VR platforms,” he added. Wide field of view scenes can be recorded and played back with the ability to move around within the video after it has been captured, revealing new perspectives. In recent years, the immersive AR/VR field has captured mainstream attention for its promise to give people a truly authentic experience in a simulated environment.
