William, Iman and Oscar gather again to close out the Game Jam updates. We go over what place we got in the comptetion and we also go through the top 3 winners. The Decentraland community is its greatest asset and the community needs to develop ways to encourage players to continuously return to the game. Without this incentive, developing for decentraland is unsustainable. Our contribution, Metazone, focuses on providing an easy way for land owners to deploy content to their land without the hassle of deployment that currently exists. We also discuss Lebron’s statement on punishing Daryl Morey for his tweets that support Hong Kong.

Iman, Oscar and William discuss the latest winners of the Game Jam hosted by Decentraland. Only winners from 20 - 11 have been announced at the time of this recording and we play a few that we have not covered before. Later in the podcast we discuss how companies such as PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard are pulling out from the Libra Association. Finally we discuss the influence that China has on American companies and how their ideologies are spilling over to free nations.

The Decentraland Game Jam finally ends and we debrief on our experience, submissions and the competition. We go over only a small portion of all the submissions that we saw, many of which were fantastic. Some of the submissions really opened our ideas to the possibilities that Decentraland could bring. In today’s discussion we break down our thought process on why decided to build what we submitted. We also assess the competition and what the future will hold for Decentraland.

We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions.
