The last time I was in DC was 30 years ago. My family just got back from a trip to Washington DC for the White House Easter Egg Roll. ![]() Now that I’m a dad I realize he took ambivalence as a challenge, that he would be able to convince us of how fascinating it all really was. It’s not that he didn’t care that we didn’t like it. He was unphased by our groans and complaints, in fact he may have been fueled by them, as dads often are. When I was a kid, my dad LOOOVED taking us to the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum. In one of nature’s cruelest twists, kids are, historically, not huge fans. And I’m doubly sure preteens will lose their mind for it.ĭads love history, monuments, and museums. I’m sure some young popstars will be thrilled to design in-game swag to share with fans. Considering the game’s been around since 2006, many artists will have grown up on Roblox themselves. Collectables and achievements are nothing new in video games – or, as we’ve seen with NFTs in the last year, real life for that matter. The artists are also as involved with the creative process as they’d like to be. But while it’s Dad Law to roll your eyes and act like your wallet is welded shut in these scenarios, Spotify made clear that in-game merch proceeds go directly to the artist. As someone who spent money on multiple skins for the various Avengers in a game I don’t even like, I have no commentary on this. In-game, Spotify will host mini-quests, virtual meet-and-greets, and other interactive experiences with artists, including, obviously, selling MERCH! Yes, what kid hasn’t begged for some extra virtual dollars to spend on a virtual t-shirt for their virtual person. That’s all pretty familiar territory to online gamers, but the hook is how Spotify will use this space to host unique moments between artists and fans. The tokens you collect can be exchanged for in-game content, such as emotes and cosmetic changes to your avatar. ![]() The basic gameplay of Spotify Island is to parkour your way around a digital island paradise, collecting heart-shaped tokens, finding hidden easter eggs, and interacting with other players at beat-making stations. The game allows players to engage with user-generated content, mainly in the form of mini-games players can create and share. Look, Spotify, you know me, you know how many times a week I listen to Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town what kind of coffee did you expect me to order?Īnyway, the Roblox thing. When I arrived, there was a full coffee bar in the lobby, complete with a barista who was very unimpressed by my order of regular black coffee. Its brief showcase begins with a familiar Star Wars setting - Padawans learning at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant - and quickly cuts to close-quarters combat as it reveals that Jedi are being hunted and killed.Sidenote: I have to say, the Spotify office is pretty rad. The eight-episode series sees a Jedi Master face down a “dangerous warrior from his past” after a spree of crime takes place. Now, we have our first publicly shared trailer for the show following its private preview at Star Wars Celebration 2023 last May. From there, the series was finally announced to release in 2024 last year, following news of stars Lee Jung-jae and Carrie-Anne Moss joining the cast. Without much context shared at the time, it was noted that it is set during the newly-introduced High Republic era (which takes place 500 to 100 years prior to the Battle of Yavin in the original Star Wars film). Included amongst shows themed around familiar faces like The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi was a peculiar project that was overlooked by most - Star Wars: The Acolyte. At the end of 2020, Disney announced a roadmap of its upcoming projects, with a particular emphasis on the Star Warsfranchise. ![]()
