Daiquiri 2 Update, Development Begins and so much more


Today Upland rolled out a big update.  They have put in place the Daiquiri 2 update.  This update has a number of back end work that will enable all the described features to come out.  What it also does is add a few other unexpected fun things, including the beginning of construction of City Hall.  As in the real world, construction will happen over time, so for now only the the frame is visible.

This is very exciting as it shows the next major evolution in the game is ready to roll out.  So what does all this mean?  Well lets take each point really quickly.

Prep for NYC opening, Air Travel, and "Heist"

This is a pretty big deal an encompasses a number of things.  The NYC opening is more than just NYC.  It will formalize and deploy the mechanics for air travel.  It will set up "the heist" the winners of which will win the first flights in Upland and be given the opportunity to have the genesis mint in NYC (aside from the airports which are needed to get there).  It sets up the mechanics for walking, driving and flying speed travel.  This update also establishes the mechanics for new creations.  These will all be written on the blockchain to be provably fair.  I really suggest you read the medium article the team wrote to get the full view.

Badges, 3D models/property development, and general improvements

These items were more of a surprise, we all knew that property development was coming soon.  It was also a debate, which is first NYC or Development.  Leave it to the team to drop them both together!  Now, I admit, this is just the prep work, development isn't fully available nor is NYC, but it is exciting that the same update put the mechanics in place for both.  Very slick.  Another surprise was the badges.  This means that explorers for founders and broadcasters will be on block explorers.  So what do those two things mean.  A founder is anyone that was in the game before Dec 2019.  If you are a founder you kinda know you are a founder.  A broadcaster is anyone who is a verified UCN member.  I would fall into this category and I am very excited for my badge.

So that's it for now, but keep an eye open for updates by myself and all the talented UCN broadcasters.  If you are not already part of the Upland family feel free to use this link to get a 50% bonus on your first UPX purchase. Give me my UPX!

The four best Upland San Francisco neighborhoods you should invest in

Image
Finding the right property in San Francisco can be tricky, you have to really pay attention to what people are doing and most importantly to make the most money you need to be in it for the long haul. These properties are all in entirely sold out neighborhoods, and yet they are still undervalued. Don’t believe me? Hop on the Upland Fans Discord and check for yourself. https://discord.gg/zWFbVGcyjN Dogpatch Photograph: Courtesy Nichirin Total Properties : 223 Properties for sale (At time of writing): 26 Cheapest property: 67,480 UPX With an organized road map for success and an active channel in the Upland Fans Discord (#dogpatch) this small community has brought up a lot of buzz within San Francisco. There’s no question many people have seen the value of Dogpatch already, nothing in the neighborhood sells for under 50,000 UPX, but don’t let the high cost of entry scare you, this small city within a city has some of the most well-known and active Uplanders around, which includes its uno

Upland NFT Mining

Image
What is Upland NFT Mining? Upland Comics & Collectibles  is excited to partner with CryptomonKeys and MetaForce Comics to bring NFT mining to Upland.  But what exactly does that mean?  Is this a game mechanic produced by the Upland team?  No, this is not provided by Upland, but you do need to be in the Upland game to participate.  Upland has not at any time promised NFT giveaways or direct peer to peer gifting in app and it doesn't appear anywhere on their roadmap.  As they have an exciting and ever growing set of future mechanics available though, it very well may be a possibility.  But, until such time that they do, Upland Comics has decided to go for it themselves. The idea initially has been tested by the Cryptomon K eys team in Alien Worlds .  Though Alien Worlds does have a plan to provide in game NFT distribution by individual land owners, that function isn't just ready.  So Cryptomon K eys has been doing it manually, check out their monKeymining page for more det

Highlights of Spud and the Minting Challenge

Image
I saw a lot of people confused by the recent minting challenge, so I decided to pick out some highlights from the recent Upland Medium article . All points are from the Medium article unless otherwise noted.  Note: We still don't know all of the details. I'll update as more is released.  Spud Property development will be driven by Spark (which is a token). However, the sandbox (which will allow players to play with the property development interface) will use a temporary resource we’re calling “Spud”. During the sandbox competitions, Spud will be used to build properties. All players of Uplander status and above will receive Spud when it is distributed. Spud will have no direct utility beyond these sandbox competitions.
