Project Achievements:
After a successful pre-alpha test and feedback collection, the test period concluded, and the mobile version was removed from the App Store test platform.

and has 20.5k alpha testers by April 2023. Development is ongoing for iOS and Android with an updated engine. The NFT collection is on the NEAR mainnet, and the platform supports NFT collections on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Solana, Avalanche, Mumbai, Cronos and SKALE. AILAND has also integrated seven AI technologies, including OpenAI, Didimo, Avatar Union, Ready Player Me, Inworld, Anything World, and Avaturn. As a result of the project’s successful AI integrations, in-game features such as creating realistic avatars from photos, AI-driven NPC interactions and generating avatar personalised emotions and movements using videos are now available for an enhanced user experience. AILAND has developed its own AI NPC system and offers the ability to create AI movies and series on the platform, providing users with a unique and engaging experience.
