Metaverse Roadmap
Plans have updated extensively since the first edition of our roadmap (released on the first week of the project). 
Keep in mind that the Roadmap is always subject to change as the project evolves and we explore the connection between cryptocurrency, gaming, and the virtual worlds of the metaverse.  
We are pushing boundaries and charting new territory, and with that, always expect the unexpected.  
Exploring introduces new challenges, but also leads to new discoveries and features to implement.

Phase 8: Implement Community Sector into Metaverse
Community Sector (Originally on Unity) can become outlier space base
Community Sector is controlled via DAO and can be used for what the community wishes.  First starting with NFT Gallery base and marketplace connection, but can become something much more advanced, for example; shooter game, outer realms war territory, robot/alien attack base, pirate station, underground black market (outlaw land).  As project develops, the direction of this theme and it's need in the game will become more clear to the project and users.
Community Sector can join in on specific space missions and own storyline, but affect the overall metaverse and side-game missions in many ways.
