Roadmap updates
New website — 100% completed
Ape Gang’s new website was launched on October 6th and includes a brand new blog section, information about toucans and Gang Wars, our roadmap, and team info.
Blog & communication — 100% completed
We have made a communication plan for Q4 2021, which includes Ape Gang’s weekly “The Peel” newsletter, a blog series about intrepid Gang Leaders and notable community members, as well as plenty of practical information relating to Gang Wars and the toucan drop.
Rebranding — 100% completed
Ape Gang’s new logo is live on Twitter and the new website. We hope you love it as much as we do.
Toucans — 90% completed
Rikong is working hard on the new toucan 10K generator and fixing some assets (this is same process as for apes so don’t worry — toucans WILL be ready for October 20th).
Times Square Billboard — 88% completed
An order has been placed for the Times Square Billboard and we are currently finalising the design. If all goes well, we will go live before the toucans drop on October 20th.
Smart contract & $GANG token — 50% completed
Jokong & Rikong have secured a solidity developer who has started work on the new contracts.
The Management team is working hard on defining how the $GANG token should work. This includes both the utility value of the token itself as well as toucans & jaguars.
Gang Wars — 38% completed
The developer hired by Jokong & Rikong is doing an amazing job. The Gang Wars features are all implemented and working. What remains to be done is reviewing the design to fit our expectations and finalising the jaguar collection.
Ape Gang minigame — 30% completed
The game is ordered and paid for, expectations are laid out, and all the reference art is in place (including full body apes….that robot ape looks sick!).
Merchandise — 15% completed
We are engaging with an incredibly well-known brand to launch a small collaborative collection featuring long sleeve T-Shirts, Regular T-Shirts, Hoodys, Polos and Shorts/Pants.
We are also engaging with a talented freelance designer to design Ape Gang’s own Street Wear collection featuringT-Shirts, hoodies, and a banana cap.
Comic Book — 15% completed
We are in talks with several comic book artists.
BGB snipes rares
Over a 24 hour period from October 8th to October 9th, a mind-blowing collection of rare apes were sniped by ApeGang’s newest whale; legendary BGB.
Other notable sales on “the day of the rares”
Ape Gang’s fan club is lit
We’ve seen so many cool memes and GIFs lately but the new Fast Food Ape Gang on OpenSea made us laugh the most.
Fast Food Vader is either pure genius or an utter disgrace. You be the judge.
Also, we’re super impressed with the team from Gangs of Ape City who are currently working on an Ape Gang inspired comic book. The artwork is amazing.
Competitions and give-aways
Furious Aperor Invite contest
Our 1/1 Furious Aperor invitation contest has been a huge success propelling Ape Gang’s discord from 16K members to 28K members as we speak. It’s currently a competitive race at the top of the leaderboard but there’s still time to send out those unique invite links. The competition ends October 10th/11th at 6pm EST.
Bulkz 1vs1 bracket competition
Top dog Bulkz hosted Ape Gang’s first 1vs1 competition on October 6th and boy was it a blast. 128 apes went head to head the training channel with MashDashHood being crowned the ultimate winner.
MashDashHood will receive a custom high resolution poster print of his chosen ape and we can’t wait to see how it turns out.
