double jump.tokyo Revolutionizes NFT Landscape with RYUZO, an Interactive AI Life Form Application
Tokyo, 1 August 2023 — double jump.tokyo, a blockchain technology company, is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its app that features OASYX Series 2: RYUZO, an AI Life Form Concept Non-Fungible Token (NFT) initiative, on August 2nd. This unique project is the result of a strategic collaboration with industry leader, Bandai Namco Research.
In this sequel to the OASYX series, 10,000 units of 1st generation of “MARYU” (the equivalent of an egg) have already been airdropped to OASYX Series 1 holders, for eventual cultivation into a “RYU”. Upon hatching, the “RYU” transforms into a non-transferrable Soulbound Token (SBT), marking a notable progression in NFT development.
Innovatively integrating artificial life technology, RYUZO is co-developed by Bandai Namco Research and Attructure. The digital entity “RYU” will experience personality and ability modifications based on user engagement including activities such as stroking and feeding. This unique interactivity results in individualised growth patterns and outcomes for each “RYU”, providing a deeply personalised gaming experience. Beyond nurturing, the application will feature a mini-game, allowing users to race their cultivated “RYUs” and compete for the best timing.
Note : The nurturing feature of the application is scheduled to end around the end of July 2024 with the RYUs remaining active.
To mark the launch, Oasys is initiating a collaboration campaign with blockchain game “Brave Frontier Heroes.” Exclusive rewards and collaborative NFTs, featuring fan-favourite character “YATAGARASU” from OASYX Series 1, will be on offer. More details are forthcoming via official twitter and Discord channels.
Masayoshi Nakamura, CEO of Attructure, said: “In this project, we use a physics engine to allow “RYU” to try various movements and learn unique actions. By allowing users to race their “RYU” using newly learned movements, they can enjoy a fun gaming experience where they compete in nurturing methods and performance. We hope all users will experience the joy of raising “RYU” through various interactions.”
Hajime Nakatani, current advisor and former CEO at Bandai Namco Research, added: “RYUZO (龍造)” is a new project that explores the theme of “AI Life Form and NFT.” We are delighted to launch this nurturing application after months of development. To all the gamers eager to get a unique NFT and those excited about trying new things — thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience and have fun exploring and playing with RYUZO!”
