The 8102 Project Updates
Here are some amazing things to look forward to…
The 8102: Prologue begins in Nov 2022!
A couple of weeks ago we announced on Twitter and Discord that the next step in our project will launch in November 2022: The 8102: Prologue, the initial phase of The 8102 game.
Over the course of 15 missions you will join Gerry and his friends to secure, build, scout, and maybe find a strategy to strike back against the Super AI’s forces.
Missions will work similar to 10KTF missions, but instead of creating load-outs with a single combatant, you will be building squads based on different PFPs and The 8102: Yachts.
These are the projects we will integrate as combatants as of now:
Bored Ape Yacht Club & Mutant Ape Yacht Club
Gutter Cat Gang, Gutter Rats, Gutter Dogs, Gutter Pigeons, Gutter Clones
MetaHero Universe: Generative Identities
Timeless Characters
10KTF & 10KTF: Combat Gear
Casual Sloths
The 8.1: Sunny & The 8.1: Ruth
The Lizard Lab
Waifu Warriors
If you have suggestions for additional projects you want to see integrated, just reply to this email!
In-game currency airdrop
We’ve started to plan the initial distribution of our in-game currency.
Unsurprisingly it will be an airdrop, and the amount of $ airdropped will largely be based on tokens you hold (OGY badges, The 8102: Yachts, The 8102: Comic #0) and participation in regattas and The 8102: missions.
We don’t have a specific date yet, but we aim for late Q1 or Q2 2023!
Genesis trait for The 8102: Yachts
If you’re holding a yacht with a token number of 1760 or lower: Congratulations, you’re officially a Genesis Yacht holder!
We’ve updated the meta data of all yachts minted before 09/27/2022 to display a new Origin trait with a Genesis value. (If it’s not shown for you on OpenSea yet, you can use the meta data refresh button to update).
But this trait is not just for show: Genesis Yachts will give an additional combat power boost in The 8102: Prologue and the game!
Lore & more: Meet Sensei Taida
Benjiro Taida, also referred to as Sensei Taida, is the dojo master on the secret island of The Order of the Golden Yacht. Of Japanese descent, this Casual Sloth is very calm and laid back, but has a sly sense of humor and likes to pull pranks on the habitants and visitors of the secret island.
At his core, Benjiro is extremely good-hearted and always there with some wise words and counsel rooted in his experience and deep wisdom gained by practicing Bushidō, the ancient way of the warrior.
Although he seems to be very slow, decades of sharpening his physical and spiritual skills made him a force to be reckoned with, and there are rumors that he gained very special abilities…
In other news…

That’s it for today, now it’s back to building. This Super AI won’t go away by its own, right?
