[00:00] Christopher David: And we're back.

[00:01] Christopher David: Took a great 30-day pause off of X,

[00:04] Christopher David: and so aside from building our core software business,

[00:08] Christopher David: boring,

[00:09] Christopher David: spent a lot of time thinking about what is the proper product that's going to tie together all the epic ground that we've covered in the last 190-ish videos.

[00:19] Christopher David: Commander and mobile app and MCP and Bitcoin integration and the agent store and all this stuff that we've done like...

[00:27] Christopher David: How do we put all this into a product?

[00:30] Christopher David: And my previous thinking was like, we're going to build this desktop app called Commander to move away from the like code editor cursor type interfaces towards this sort of gamified HUD based interface.

[00:42] Christopher David: It should feel more like Starcraft managing all your agents.

[00:45] Christopher David: And, you know, the big leap that I've made in the last few weeks is that the proper

[00:53] Christopher David: An introductory product for all this shouldn't just be some gamified HUD UI.

[01:00] Christopher David: It should be an actual game.

[01:02] Christopher David: And then maybe that game starts overlapping into the real world.

[01:09] Christopher David: So OpenAgents has acquired a game studio for a dollar from me and my wife.

[01:17] Christopher David: And we're making an MMORPG.

[01:21] Christopher David: And we just launched the first build of it an hour ago.

[01:26] Christopher David: So it's called ruinsofatlantis.com.

[01:29] Christopher David: Ruins of Atlantis is the game.

[01:31] Christopher David: You can read more about the why and my background with games and why I'm doing this and why this has been cooking for so long.

[01:39] Christopher David: But just start thinking.

[01:41] Christopher David: Just start thinking.

[01:42] Christopher David: What would an MMORPG that has powerful AI agents as part of it, or Bitcoin integration,

[01:49] Christopher David: or other interesting real-world integrations?

[01:54] Christopher David: We're not going to say much more about those kinds of things.

[01:57] Christopher David: We're going to be rolling them out in a very gradual,

[02:00] Christopher David: but...

[02:01] Christopher David: accelerated and fast way, I think, in our weekly releases of Ruins of Atlantis. So we'll do other kind of more generic agent content on this current series,

[02:14] Christopher David: but we're going to be focusing a lot on this MMO,

[02:16] Christopher David: and I hope that you follow along.

[02:19] Christopher David: See you soon.
