In 2021, Kingsoft Office Group continued to enhance its products and services for cloud office and collaboration office scenarios. With increasing user activeness and user stickiness in individual and enterprise users, cloud migration of both domestic individual and institutional subscriptions has accelerated. With the stable growth in the number of monthly active devices of its key products, Kingsoft Office Group has continued to optimize its user experience and products functions, promote cloud migration, increase usage of its value-added functions and further drove the growth in its number of paying users. In addition, the significant increase in the number of uploaded cloud documents and the increase in the proportion of long-term paying users have also laid a solid foundation for the development of the individual subscription business in the future.

Regarding the government and enterprise market, Kingsoft Office Group took advantage of the industry trend on the demands of government and enterprise users for data asset management and office efficiency improvement and has actively improved product systems, enhanced user experience and expanded eco-systems, to promote the cloud office migration of government and enterprise users. This has also set a solid foundation for its subsequent promotion of digital office platform solutions. As the cloud migration of government and enterprise users continues, Kingsoft Office Group is expected to increase its presence in the government and enterprise market.

In addition, Kingsoft Office Group has witnessed a strong demand growth from the government and enterprise users, as localization projects enter a booming stage with a fast-growing market leveraging the favourable policies. Moreover, Kingsoft Office Group also received substantial orders for its re-flowable and fixed-layout document format products which lead to the robust growth of its domestic institutional licensing business.

In December, JX World III, the third generation of the JX World series mobile games, was launched. Upon its launch, JX World III ranked first in the top free charts and ninth in the top-grossing charts for iOS. In addition, the mobile game was also recommended on the front page of Apple Today and was recognized as a superstar product by the Mobile Hardcore Alliance.

Cens World Launches as the Future Metaverse Open-World Game of the Century. Cens World is a 3D fully Metaverse game that utilises advanced technologies to bring the best experiences to players, help them live in the real world, and admire the items they have created or owned most realistically.

It's no accident that many people believe Cens World will usher in a new era of Metaverse gaming. This is a game in which all countries and territories participate in a simulation of a parallel Earth to the present. It doesn't matter which character the user is in the game. Players in Cens World will craft their own stories and give their characters personalities. As a result, the characters in Cens World are always one-of-a-kind, profound, or horrific, and they must all be owned by the player. In the realm of CENS WORLD, players have complete control over their characters' fates.

CENS WORLD is entering a new era.

CENS WORLD is a Metaverse-based environment where players can have the best gaming experiences while also earning money. Cens World, not surprisingly, is slated to usher in a new age for Metaverse gaming. This is the first Metaverse game that was founded to offer create-for-money (C2E) for creative players to earn money. CENS WORLD is a one-of-a-kind game in which the game's characters, each with their own distinct personality, tell deep, fascinating, and often odd player-created stories. "CENS WORLD," also known as "Game of the Century," with the slogan "Century - New World, New Story," provides players with ultra-natural sensations that few other games on the market can match.

In the CENS WORLD world, it doesn't matter what the characters are. They'll come to life thanks to a new set of powerful and easy-to-use creative tools included in CENS WORLD. Players join the metaverse in real-time or game time to keep the game exciting. Every day, the player will be faced with a variety of random circumstances, such as illness, inability to work, or insects ruining the farm. Including such random events in the game will add to the game's appeal while also reducing the risk of inflation.

The many features equipped, such as Bank, Farm, NFT Market, Mini-game, and Tournament, are unique in the realm of CENS WORLD. These gaming elements all give players realistic experiences akin to real-life activities, which is a unique feature created by CENS WORLD.

All of the above factors will open a new era for CENS WORLD.

Hololoot aims to bring 3D metaverse assets into reality via a proprietary AR tech stack, benefiting gamers, developers, advertisers, designers, and everyday users. The platform's technology will offer an innovative ecosystem whereby users can create quick and easy AR NFTs without coding knowledge. 

Hololoot AR Viewer's and NFTs Integration

The Hololoot project is creating a comprehensive AR NFT ecosystem for the world. It combines an in-app marketplace, AR NFT launchpad, AR NFT Generator, and an AR metaverse to allow users to build and interact with assets. To truly see AR and NFTs become mainstream, developers and users need to make their apps easier. Hence, Hololoot gives anyone the freedom to explore the full potential of AR and NFTs.

Hololoot is a cloud-based app that allows users to browse and inspect 3D models of AR NFTs on the fly and even mint new ones. Unlike other AR apps that require a backend admin, it is entirely self-service.

The app is the first to enable users to create AR assets and mint NFTs without any platform support. Its ability to provide this functionality positions it as the leading contender in the AR market. Notably, creators, artists, brands, gamers, and marketers benefit from the AR NFT ecosystem.

Unlike VR metaverses, the Hololoot AR metaverse doesn't require you to create a space from nothing. Instead, it lets users scan their homes and customize various features in this metaverse. More features will eventually be added, which will allow users to share their own metaverse experiences. Users will share layouts, open the door, among other things.

AR NFT Viewer

Via Hololoot's AR NFT Viewer, users can quickly and easily integrate AR objects into their real-world environment view and manipulate them in real-time. 

Hololoot also has a wallet connection and metaverse as a service(MaaS) for NFTs. As an AR NFT owner, you can view them on the NFT viewer. In addition, if you have a regular 2D NFT that has a MaaS link, you can still view it in the AR NFT viewer.

These solutions are accessible for a price to projects, companies, and people alike, creating a project revenue stream that they expect to increase in the future. The team acquired collaborations with renowned metaverse games to help jumpstart the MaaS service, and is continually looking for more. They may begin to develop a linked experience across these metaverses by importing current NFT assets from these metaverses into AR.

The platform will give users the best possible experience of their content by using technologies like ARkit, AR Foundation, and glTF files. Depth cameras and LIDAR are used to create high-precision scans of rooms and recognize parameters and objects within them. Also, they will be able to go hands-free with the new generation of AR glasses currently hitting the market.

Hololoot AR NFT Generator

The Hololoot AR NFT Generator allows anyone to easily create and manage 3D assets. They need to upload a 3D model, modify the parameters, and convert it into an NFT.

Hololoot's cloud-based AR NFT Generator is the heart of its ecosystem, mainly because it connects AR Viewer with the marketplace and the metaverse. In addition, it facilitates Hololoot Match, an artificial intelligence recommendation algorithm for finding incredible 3D assets based on a user's specific preferences.

Hololoot's AR NFT Generator is a secure cloud storage and access management solution that enables businesses to manage their content and operations more effectively. It features self-service admin dashboards that allow users to organize and secure their content quickly.

Hololoot Tokens

Hololoot is powered by two tokens that are linked but have their own unique functions. The main token $HOL is used to make purchases and also to farm the rewards token $PIXEL. The goal of the token is to create a long-term ecosystem for AR NFTs. It generates power and sustains the platform.

$PIXEL is the platform's internal rewards token, and it can be used to participate in INOs and purchase unique NFT drops. $PIXEL is farmed by staking $HOL tokens, providing $HOL investors with a motivation to keep their tokens for the long term.

About Hololoot

Hololoot is the first AR NFT generator and marketplace. It simplifies the creation process and brings virtual worlds to life with minimal effort. Its robust features make it ideal for gamers, collectors, and anyone interested in immersing themselves in the world of augmented reality. With Hololoot's marketplace, trading AR NFTs is easy, and the utility-rich token $HOL provides buyers with extra value throughout the application. For more information, visit;

The next time a skeptic questions the momentum of the blockchain gaming market, kindly inform them that the industry had attracted over 1.5 million users by the end of 2021, with daily trade volume from gaming dApps climbing as high as half a billion dollars. Then cackle with satisfaction. The breathless rush by gamers, developers and investors into the gamefi (gaming finance) space was triggered by the potential for profit via play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics, but also by the opportunities for rich gameplay thanks to the deployment of blockchain and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). To date, most blockchain games have offered up simple 2D worlds based around turn-based mechanics, focusing on earning potential rather than fast-paced gameplay. But thankfully, that is starting to change… Epic War, Entrancing Gameplay Epic War is the first blockchain-based FPS (first-person shooter) that provides Triple-A graphics and gameplay in delivery of its virtual reality (VR), free-play-to-earn (F2P2E) metaverse. Interestingly, the fully 3D blockchain shooter is just one part of the envisaged Epic War universe, which will expand to include a series of comic books and films. The gaming narrative sees players take part in battle royales where they must contend with other gamers as well as hostile NPC creatures on a treacherous foreign planet. Other notable elements include team battles featuring up to 16 players (8v8) in a single session. Boss battles test players’ abilities even further, and come in three different difficulty levels: normal, hard, and super hardcore. The native token of Epic War ($EWAR) is used to create new in-game characters, weapons, gears, battle maps and purchase NFT items. It can also be used for governance purposes, giving holders decision-making privileges on the future of the project. EWAR tokens are awarded to players and teams who triumph in battles, and these tokens can subsequently be used to improve the attributes of player-characters or sold to the highest bidder on exchanges. Both winning and losing players will have the ability to earn unique NFTs after each session, with tokens representing in-game items like weapons, gears and maps. Such artefacts can be sold, traded or rented to other players for profit, and they are also dispensed upon the completion of challenging in-game quests. Epic War’s game engine was built from the ground up using C++ code, and leverages the acclaimed Unity Engine as the technical foundation of its gameworld. The Unity Engine is employed by many mainstream, Triple-A game publishers, and has been used in such releases as Escape From Tarkov, Cuphead, Wasteland 3, Subnautica, and many more. Future Milestones The team behind Epic War hails from Vietnam, where they have years of collective experience in game design, blockchain development and full-stack coding. They also partner with Japanese studios to develop Open World gameplay and VR metaverse phase. By mid Q2 2022, the team aims to release a beta version of the PvE and PvP game modes, alongside its DAO governance system, where players will be able to have a say in future development decisions. The IGO (initial game offering) for the native EWAR token will also take place before the end of Q2. Ongoing roadmap milestones portend a full game release and multi-chain integration by the end of Q3. Multiple blockchain ecosystems will play host to Epic War when it is complete, including Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, and NEAR, in an effort to give players the maximum number of benefits offered up by various networks (speed, low fees, access to native stablecoins, etc). Gamers can also look forward to Epic War’s Beta Test launch coming this March. The long-term goals of Epic War include integrating VR support and building out an expansive metaverse world where players can interact with the game in a virtual 3D space. Epic War builds on the promise of gamefi by extending blockchain gaming to the level mainstream gamers expect, while integrating crypto and NFT rewards for the benefit of successful players.
