Incoming_Transmission: Hello Explorers. October was a quieter month for LVCIDIA, as we ended up pushing back our previously scheduled Experience and Finery drops. There were plenty of reasons for the delays, but we feel confident that it was the best move to ensure these releases get the attention they deserve. The remainder of 2023 is packed with fresh programming and releases, from Experiences, to Flux, to Finery.
To help our community stay informed, we’ve partnered with the team at Laylo to provide SMS updates on our most important releases.

LVCIDIA STAKING – 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
This past Friday, October 27th, the LVCIDIA community celebrated the 1 year anniversary of Staking.
For the event, we posted a series of exciting Staking content to our socials. Over on Twitter, our socials manager Katie shared the news that Stars have been officially added inside the LVCIDIA immersive platform. The announcement was paired with a stunning new trailer, showcasing stars using entirely in-game footage.
For our Journal, our content writer Ryan spoke with smart contract Engineer Quentin Merabet to break down the development of our innovative new Deed NFT (claimable to all who contribute resources this Staking Era). Lastly, we hosted a Star Naming Contest in our Discord, encouraging users to share their favorite named Stars for a chance to win a Fvck_Crystal. Congratulations to the winners, thank you everyone for participating!

EXPERIENCES – NEW DATES ANNOUNCED
Over the last few months, we’ve released a series of curated digital art Experiences by some of our favorite artists in the space. Our most recent two, by JSTNGRAPHICS and Renderfruit, only have a few artworks left available before selling out completely.
While we had originally announced Experiences would be released monthly, we decided to push our November Experience (005) back into December. Our intention is to use the extra month to build a bigger, more exciting Experience with Artifex. We also feel we can generate more momentum by concentrating our releases closer together, which is why Experiences 005 and 006 will be happening back to back in December.
Experience 006 will be the last of this Era, before LVCIDIA switches gears to devote most of its resources to the relaunch of the immersive platform. As part of the holiday season, this final Experience will be considered a holiday gift from us.

FLUX – October Artwork Revealed
On October 11th, FLUX underwent metamorphosis for the first time. The dynamic NFT transformed to reveal a new artwork by up-and-comer Vivid4k.
A graphic designer and artist who’s collaborated with the likes of Metro Boomin and EARTHGANG, Vivid4k’s style is characterized by his use of high energy colors and often surreal sci-fi subject matter.
If you want to participate in the 12-month journey of FLUX, you can view the collection here. The artwork will change once again on November 10th, so consider carefully if this is the piece you’d like to lock your NFT on forever.

FINERY – FINAL N2 DROPS
Our next Finery release—N2 DROP 004—is this Friday, November 3rd. The designs this month are some of our favorites to date, and as always there will be discounts for collectors.
You may have noticed that we skipped our monthly N2 drop in September. Due to some issues with suppliers, we weren’t able to meet our promised release schedule.
As a result, we’re going to be condensing the remainder of N2 into 2 final, larger drops before the year’s end.
We’re preparing amazing promotional materials to go with these drops, so please look forward to it and share where you can. Let’s end this year with a bang!

Artist Spotlights – TikTok
For the past few months, our team member and market specialist Bonglo has been spotlighting talented artists in the LVCIDIA journal. After researching the artist and speaking with them directly, he writes articles that serve as excellent introductions to their work.
In October, Bonglo drew attention to the work of Look Highward, Ilan Derech, and Pindar Van Arman. Each of these artists utilize their mediums in unique ways, capturing a truly singular vision at the intersection of art and technology.
In addition to our journal content, we’re now creating short-form videos for TikTok! We’ll be posting video versions of these artist spotlights over the coming weeks, as well as some other fun content. We hope this will help showcase the potential of LVCIDIA to a wider community.
