Our team consists of longtime members from the Upland community, with a drive to create more utility for the layer one of the Upland metaverse.

We started out with a team for the Upland Hackathon competition 2023. This team consisted of: Ikris (UPXland), TheTempest (UReal Spark Broker), Aebstract (Upland Gaming), Slav (Upland Ready Assets) and DeSjaak (The Donut and Analytic Assassins). Together we created the Block Raiders pitch for the innovation track of the hackathon, and won!

After collaboratively working towards the realization of this project after the hackathon, we decided to continue in a different team composition. Since end of 2023, the Block Raiders team consists of the following team members: Slav, Math, Moonunit and DeSjaak. And going into 2024 we are confident to have all skills aboard to get our alpha game live.

Math is an outsider when it comes to the Upland community, but we are thrilled that Slav brought him on board. He is strengthening our team on the Unreal Engine front, and if you are interested in game development, make sure to check out his YouTube channel! Moonunit is the newest addition to our team, and joined us to make the connection between the Upland developer tools and Unreal Engine more sophisticated.
