[p][/p][p]My name is [b]Nicolas Choukroun[/b], and [i]Metaisland[/i] is a very personal project for me. I’ve been developing games since I was 16, when I published my first title [i]Killdozer[/i]. Later, I worked with Ubisoft in its early days ([i]Intruder, Pick’n Pile, Mechanic Warriors[/i]), produced games with Loriciel, and eventually co-developed [i]Aliens[/i] with Cryo/Fox and Mindscape in 1995.[/p][p]After that, I stepped away from video games to explore the internet: building one of the first retro gaming sites ( [url="https://Emuclassics.com"]Emuclassics.com[/url] ), developing audio plugins ([i]Gigfiles, Dadev[/i]), diving into web marketing ( [url="https://vpromo.com"]vpromo.com[/url]) did the first web marketing software (named Ablaze), and creating Unity assets like [i]Smartwater[/i]. In 2017, I entered the crypto space, launching [i]Kryptofranc[/i] a full blockchain with all the wallets on PC, MAC, Unix, stratum server and mining pool, and a smart contract FRANC on the TRON blockchain. That was when the idea hit me: what if I combined gaming and crypto to create a true virtual world?[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎮 The Birth of [i]Metaisland[/i][/h3][p]Originally called [b]WOK (Wolf Online Kingdom)[/b], the project began as a metaverse experiment. I quickly realized that building a virtual country requires a massive community, so I scaled down to focus on a fresh concept: [b]Challenges[/b]. The full history is on my blog, where I am posting since the beginning ([url="https://blog.metaisland.gg"]https://blog.metaisland.gg[/url])[/p][p][/p][p]Challenges merge e-sports, puzzles, RPG elements, and third-person action into competitive, time-based trials. Players earn [b]WOLF points[/b], an in-game currency that can eventually be bridged to real crypto once the project grows enough to launch on exchanges.[/p][p][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44881145/073389fbe46a4999c0b253af9ee5af9a0875fcc1.jpg"][/img][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44881145/95acbe7ee064bad1253bbe16f5e452ff9fa59ffa.jpg"][/img][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎵 Music, Books & Story[/h3][p]Being a musician (20 albums published), I could have composed everything myself. Instead, I collaborated with legendary talents:[/p][list][*][p][b]Stéphane Picq[/b] (his last works before his passing 💔)[/p][/*][*][p][b]Ethan Lewis Maltby[/b], who composed the main theme and orchestral tracks.[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44881145/36aedb1d2c6969820890a77fbe0a640604f5c4e7.jpg"][/img][/p][/*][/list][p]The result: 3 full music albums now available.[/p][p]As a lifelong sci-fi fan, I also wrote the [b]Metaisland backstory[/b]: a world invaded by alien crystals that mutate humans into monsters or superhumans. There are 7 factions, each with its own history, powers, and leaders. Three books are already published worldwide.[/p][p][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44881145/b6bbf48eaafa97bed113ecac815f703a2891a077.png"][/img][/p][hr][/hr][h3]⚔️ The Game Today[/h3][p]Fast-forward to September 2025: [i]Metaisland[/i] is fully functional in [b]Unreal Engine 5[/b].[/p][list][*][p]🔫 30+ weapons (blasters, bows, pistols, rockets & more)[/p][/*][*][p]🧑‍🤖 150 playable characters (males, females, robots)[/p][/*][*][p]🌍 Multiple environments: sci-fi, caves, temples, cyberpunk, tropical islands[/p][/*][*][p]⛈️ Dynamic weather & day/night cycles[/p][/*][*][p]🕹️ Packs of 10 Challenges with 3 difficulty levels[/p][/*][*][p]💰 Rewards: [b]WOLF[/b] (play-to-earn currency) & [b]SCORE[/b] (global ranking)[/p][/*][/list][p]Servers are designed to be decentralized, so players can host their own, monetize, and share revenue through the WOLF coin ecosystem.
