As trading began on Monday, the price of Bitcoin stood at $25,770, reflecting a slight decrease of less than 0.10%, and there are several contributing factors to this. Firstly, I believe the ongoing energy […]

DUBAI, INTERNATIONAL, UAE, September 8, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — منتدى العالم القادم (Next World Forum)، وهو حدث للألعاب الإلكترونية الذي أقيم في الرّياض يومي 30 و31 أغسطس، جمع شخصيات مؤثرة من صناعة الألعاب والرياضات الإلكترونية العالمية. تم تنظيمه من قبل الاتّحاد السعودي للرياضات الإلكترونية، ويعتبر منصّة لمناقشات الصناعة، مع التركيز على النمو السريع لاقتصاد الرّياضات الإلكترونية ووجود اللاعبين الرئيسيين في الصناعة.
منتدى العالم القادم (NWF) لا يوفّر فرصة مبتكرة لتعزيز نمو القطاع من خلال الاستثمار والتعاون فقط، ولكنه أيضاً يعمل كمنصة لتبادل الأفكار والحوار والمناقشات لتصميم المستقبل وإبراز الإمكانات. يعمل NWF كنقطة لقاء الأطراف المعنية بألعاب الفيديو والرياضات الإلكترونية للتعاون وتبادل المعرفة. يتناول مجموعة من المواضيع مثل اقتصاد رياضات الإلكترونية وتطوير الذكاء الاصطناعي وأسرع الألعاب نمواً في العالم.
شاركت شخصيات بارزة من شركات الألعاب العالمية، بما في ذلك Epic Games وUbisoft وRoblox وBandai Namco وTencent وAtari، في الحدث، إلى جانب صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير فيصل بن بندر آل سعود، رئيس مجلس إدارة الاتحاد السعودي للرياضات الإلكترونية. انضم أيضاً ألكساندر هاروتيونيان (Alexander Harutyunyan)، المؤسس المشارك ومدير النشر في كريتا Creta، كمتحدث، حيث قدّم كريتا Creta، وهي منصة عالمية متعددة الأداء مبنية على تقنية سلسلة الكتل (blockchain) عامة وفعّالة، والتي لاقت اهتماماً كبيراً من الجمهور. تشير عروض كريتا Creta في الحدث العالمي NWF إلى دخولها إلى سوق الألعاب في الشرق الأوسط وتعكس التزامها بالدفع نحو التقدم في هذه المنطقة.
كريتا Creta، مقرّها الرئيسي في دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، هي شركة تعمل في مجال منصات ألعاب metaverse القائمة على Web3. تتكون الشركة من مطوّرين وناشرين وخبراء في تقنية سلسلة الكتل (blockchain) المشهورين في صناعة الألعاب العالمية. ومن بين الشخصيات المهمة المنتج راي ناكازاتو (Ray Nakazato) وألكسندر هاروتيونيان (Alexander Harutyunyan) (الرئيس التنفيذي السابق لناشر الألعاب الأوروبي INNOVA) وسيوك هو يون (Seok-ho Yoon)، الرئيس التنفيذي لـ CCR معروف بتطوير قلعة الألعاب الوطنية الكورية. يوشيكي أوكاموتو (Yoshiki Okamoto)، المعروف بألعاب مثل Street Fighter 2 وMonster Strike، هو شريك رئيسي في المشروع، مما يجعل كريتا Creta منافساً في النظام البيئي التنافسي لمنصة Web3 metaverse.
مع مشاركة هؤلاء الأفراد البارزين، من المتوقع أن تقود كريتا Creta الطريق في إنشاء النظام البيئي الأكثر تنافسية لمنصة Web3 metaverse.
تتولى شركة “Diverse” التابعة لشركة كورية، والتي تتمتع بخبرة قوية في تكنولوجيا محرك الألعاب عالية الأداء وقدرات رسومية متميزة، تطوير منصة “Creta”. تعتمد هذه المنصة القائمة على تقنية Web3 وتستخدم تقنية سلسلة الكتل (blockchain) عامة عالية الأداء تسمى “Locus Chain” لإنشاء عالم افتراضي ضخم يختلف عن العوالم الافتراضية ثلاثية الأبعاد (ميتافيرس) الموجودة حالياً. يتمتع هذا العالم الافتراضي بقدرة على دمج وتوسيع العديد من العوالم الافتراضية (ميتافيرس) في حين يحافظ على جودة مرئية ثلاثية الأبعاد ذي واقعية عالية.
تقدم كريتا Creta أربعة مكونات رئيسية في خدمة منصة Web3 الشاملة الخاصَّة بها: كريتا المتعددة الأبعاد Creta Multiverse (عالم متعدد الأبعاد يمكن توسيعه بلا حدود)، ومنصة ألعاب كريتا Creta Game Platform (خدمة ألعاب Web2 وWeb3)، وستوديو كريتا Creta Studio (يتيح إنشاء ألعاب ومحتوى عالي الجودة)، وسوبر كلوب كريتا Creta SuperClub (منصة مجتمع Web3 التي تربط منصة كريتا Creta بأكملها).
القدرة على تقديم خدمة منصة Web3 شاملة مثل هذه يَرجع بشكل كبير إلى استخدام Locus GameChain، والذي يقلل بشكل كبير من تكاليف الخادم ويعالج مشكلات قابلية التوسع من خلال استخدام سلسلة Locus بتقنية سلسلة الكتل (blockchain).
أعرب ألكساندر هاروتيونيان (Alexander Harutyunyan)، شريك مؤسس ومدير النشر الرئيسي لشركة كريتا Creta، عن تطلعاته قائلاً: “خلال هذا الحدث، رأينا مدى اهتمام الحكومة وحجم صناعة الألعاب والعوالم الافتراضية في الشرق الأوسط. نحن نسعى، من خلال كريتا Creta، لإظهار ما يحمله المستقبل لمنصات العوالم الافتراضية Web3 وخلق سوق جديدة تماماً للألعاب في الشرق الأوسط.”
تعمل كريتا Creta حالياً على الاستعداد لخدمة الوصول المبكر لـSuperClub، وهي منصة مجتمع Web3، المقررة في أكتوبر. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يخططون لإجراء اختبار بيتا مغلق (CBT) لأول عالم افتراضي (ميتافيرس) خاص بهم بنهاية العام.

Never Too Old To Rock ‘n’ Roll
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — These days we have plenty of great older Rockers to remind us that we’re never too old to Rock & Roll; Mick Jagger & Paul McCartney jump to mind. But sadly, there are also stark reminders that even those very young, or with youthful spirits, can leave us too soon; Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Jones & Cobain, all gone @ 27.
During an interview with The Phoenix, they spoke of a surreal feeling they had while recording their cover tribute to The Traveling Wilburys’ End of The Line, “realizing Roy, George & Tom were there.” The Phoenix knows, all too well, how fragile the life of a band and it’s members can be. They lost their original drummer (Jim), had a guitarist (Rich) forced to quit due to health issues and recently the spouse (Dolores) of their guitarist and sound engineer (Don) passed away, leaving a palpable void in what they now refer to as their Phoenix Phamily.
The guys just completed their 3rd CD of tribute cover recordings and decided to dedicate this one, CD3, to Dolores. She’s featured on the inside cover and the last 3 tunes were planned, recorded and dedicated to honor and memorialize her sweetly joyful spirit.
Listening to them talk about their recording process, it’s apparent they’ve been at this a long time and they clearly enjoy doing it together. The guys are mostly retired from professional careers as business executives, engineers and even a MD cardiologist. They live all over, Chicago, Phoenix, Las Vegas and BC Canada, and yet, they manage to stay close and current through regular Zoom sessions. The band is not a money making endeavor for them, indeed they told me it’s about constantly spending money and, more importantly, time doing what they love, making music together.
The fine print around the edge of their new CD3 disc says it well: “The Phoenix is a not-for-profit Rock & Roll Band established in Winona, Minnesota in 1968 and still recording their classic tribute performances for their own enjoyment and to share with Family, Friends & Fans…”
Btw, about the crazy graphic on the CD3 disc; it’s an AI generated image of a rock band consisting of actual mythical flaming Phoenix birds. Apparently the guy that did it (Jimi) likes it, Don tolerates it, Tom doesn’t care and Gene is embarrassed by “whatever it is.” “A healthy consensus & resolution process,” said Jimi, “that’s a key element to keeping such a group of humans together for so long.”
Having listened to all 3 of their CD’s and after watching their videos on their Facebook Fan Page and YouTube Channel, it’s fair to say these guys are good. Some of the tunes they’ve covered are very demanding, especially the Moody Blues orchestrated pieces that they’ve meticulously reproduced, always with a spin of their own. It’s impressive how they’ve been able to produce a recorded sound & feeling as though they were all in the studio together playing live. Their performances can be checked out on Facebook and YouTube.
From the beginning in 1968: Don (guitar), Gene (keys, guitar), Tom (bass), Rich (guitar) and Jim (drums), friends from Saint Mary’s College, in Winona, Minnesota, formed The Phoenix rock band in the Fall of 1967. These were booming years for (what we now call) Classic Rock and these guys were in the thick of it; playing covers of their favorite band’s hits for enthusiastic college crowds.
After graduation, as often happens, everyone went their separate ways across the US & Canada; embarking on their careers, getting married and starting families. Through it all, they kept playing with a string of other bands. As fate would have it, some of those bands were in Chicago where Don & Jimi (current drummer) met and played together for years.
2014: The unfortunate passing of The Phoenix original drummer, Jim Rauer, was a tragic catalyst bringing the guys back together and igniting the idea for a reunion. Don tracked Jimi down in Vegas and they set a date for a week long reunion filled with catching up and a whole lot of playing & recording.
Since then annual reunions followed in 2017, 2018 & 2019 (2020 was canceled. You know why). Each year the band recorded some of their old covers as well as some new work, including an original written by a friend from St. Mary’s, Ed Chabot.
In order to keep the music going between reunions, the guys developed a process for recording remotely. They Zoom for about an hour a couple times a month to discuss all the tunes in process and what they’re going to cover next. They strive for a holistic sound as though they were playing live together. It was a bit of a learning curve, but each contributor has equipment and ability to digitally record their performance then send tracks to the Master Mixer/Producer Extraordinaire – Don Brown who tirelessly works to keep things on track while building their mixes. Friends of The Phoenix have contributed their talents to their recordings as well – Ed Chabot, vocals and slide; Dan Nelson, vocals; Michael Sullivan, pedal steel; Richard Schoen, Jim Gilbert, Lisa Lombardy & Hunter Hopewell on vocals, to name a few. The guys always enjoy & appreciate having these talented performers on board.
To date The Phoenix has 60+ tunes in the can and 15+ music videos, which you can see on their Facebook Fan Page and YouTube Channel, with many more to come…
It’s cool realizing these guys have been playing together for 55+ years; they definitely have a strong brotherly bond centered around music which lifts their spirits and keeps them young at heart – Rock On!
