Impact and next steps: The market had become lively again, changing even casual conversation, but it had not resolved the studio’s contract or financing differences.

Background: As August began, the studio was still closing out plans from its early game-studio and community phase: the Iron Dove contract was in its final bargaining stretch, and financing terms were being tightened at the same time. Renewed market excitement had the café owner downstairs asking about crypto again, and the team had to keep its own pace amid the buzz and negotiations.
Today: August opened with BTC back above 41,000 and ETH at 2,500; the heat that Axie had sparked was spreading into a wider NFT blaze. The Iron Dove contract and financing terms advanced on parallel tracks, both still under negotiation. When the café owner downstairs asked about prices again, Night Watchman laughed and steered the conversation back to game testing: the market could be discussed, but the contract wording still needed work line by line.
Impact and next steps: The market had become lively again, changing even casual conversation, but it had not resolved the studio’s contract or financing differences. Both negotiations still needed to close, and the team also had to fold public-test feedback into its plans; the cycle’s pendulum seemed to be swinging back, while the immediate task remained getting the outstanding details settled.
