A complicated history for this one, with the developer Rocket Jump Technology no longer existing as a business. The previous iteration of the game named King under the Mountain went open source back in January 2024, and now what was to be the big revamp is also open source.
Still a shame what happened. In short: the developer made King under the Mountain, then an unnamed “well-known” publisher came in with funding to greatly improve and expand it but they had to re-launch it under a new name (Mountaincore). The publisher eventually backed out, but allowed the developer to continue with the funded work and still release it. Early Access wasn’t enough to keep Mountaincore going, so they eventually shut the studio.
Having both versions of the game now open source is a great outcome though, another big project for people to learn from and perhaps continue elsewhere.

Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties have been causing significant volatility in the financial markets recently. Recently, President Donald Trump stepped into the spotlight again with remarks about U.S.-China relations and the Federal Reserve. Known for his ability to sway markets, Trump’s latest remarks have triggered a wave of green across trading screens, even boosting cryptocurrencies.
Trump’s Latest Moves
The U.S.-China trade conflict has escalated sharply, with President Trump imposing a hefty 145% import tax on Chinese goods. China swiftly responded by imposing 125% tariffs on American products, thereby intensifying the economic conflict. As a result, stock prices have faltered, and interest rates on U.S. debt have risen, driven by investor concerns over sluggish economic growth and mounting inflationary pressures.

In a recent interview, President Trump stated, “We’re doing fine with China,” signaling a positive outlook on the situation. He also suggested the possibility of adjusting the import tariffs on Chinese goods, clarifying that while tariffs would not be reduced to 0%, they would be significantly lower than the 145% rate that had previously alarmed the market.
According to The Guardian, the President also stated that he has no plans to dismiss Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. His remarks come just days after he posted on social media that Powell should be removed for not cutting interest rates more quickly.

Bitcoin’s Rally: The Trump Effect
Trump’s remarks have ignited a rally in the crypto market, with Bitcoin surging to $93,000. Ethereum and other altcoins have also jumped on the optimism wave. The overall crypto market capitalization has increased by nearly 5.9%, surpassing $$2.91 trillion, as investor confidence rebounds on the back of Trump’s optimistic signals.

Also, record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs from institutional heavyweights, recording an unprecedented net inflow of $911.20 million, the highest since the Trump inauguration, according to Trader T. Notable inflows include a massive $267.10 million inflow to Ark Invest’s ARKB, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $253.82 million, and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $192.08 million.
This institutional buying spree has slashed Bitcoin’s circulating supply, fueling its price rally. With more ETFs likely on the horizon, Bitcoin’s upward trajectory could continue, solidifying its role as a global financial asset.
However, with trade policy details clashing and the future uncertain, it’s not all smooth sailing. Investors should keep their eyes peeled for shifts with China or the Fed could flip the script fast. For now, the outlook’s bright, but the long game’s still up in the air. Diversifying and staying tuned to the headlines might just be the smartest play in this wild ride.
Yuga Labs seeks turnover of nearly $400K in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and PEPE from crypto influencer Jeremy Cahen.
The court previously ruled that Cahen and artist Ryder Ripps infringed on Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club trademark.
Yuga Labs accused Cahen of making a “mockery” of the court’s judgment.
Yuga Labs has filed a turnover order in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, in an effort to seize crypto assets held by influencer Jeremy Cahen, also known online as Pauly0x.
The assets, spread across four wallets, include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and PEPE coin, and total nearly $400,000 as of last October.
Yuga Labs sued Cahen and artist Ryder Ripps in July 2022 for infringing on Yuga Labs’ trademark through the sale of the Ryder Ripps Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection.
Ripps had launched the copycat project in May 2022 as a form of “parody” and protest, claiming Bored Ape NFTs featured hidden Nazi and racist imagery.
The court sided with Yuga, awarding it over $1.5 million in damages in October 2023. The following February, this increased to nearly $9 million in total, including $7 million in attorneys’ fees and post-judgment interest.
The final judgment, entered on February 2, 2024, became enforceable by March 3. Cahen has not posted a bond or obtained a stay of enforcement, which has allowed Yuga Labs to begin post-judgment asset recovery.
The company has since subpoenaed Cahen’s accountant and served levies—delivered by U.S. Marshals—on banks and crypto platforms including Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Robinhood, Coinbase, Binance, and Gemini.
“Yuga Labs has taken affirmative steps under California law, essentially every month since the Court issued its Final Judgment to locate and execute upon Cahen’s assets,” the company said in its most recent filing.
“Still, Cahen has made a mockery of this Court’s Final Judgement by refusing to pay any portion of the judgment or comply with any post-judgment discovery.”
Court records show Cahen moved $396,946 in crypto to avoid a levy served to Gemini. According to Yuga, this transfer occurred one day after the levy was issued—before Gemini could freeze his accounts—suggesting a deliberate effort to evade asset seizure.
Gemini, in response to a subpoena, provided transaction records from Cahen’s account, showing that he moved crypto into two new wallets.
Cahen maintains that he is not obligated to comply with discovery requests while his appeal is pending, despite lacking a formal stay. Cahen, who has promoted various meme coins and been accused of being a scammer, branded himself “the most censored man on X” following the suspension of his account last year.
Puerto Rican authorities confirmed in February that Cahen is wanted for aggravated assault. In February, he was placed on the top 10 most wanted list in San Juan, the island’s capital. His current project, a DEX called Pond0X, has been called a scam by critics.
The court has not yet ruled on Yuga Labs’ turnover motion. Decrypt has approached Cahen for comment via Instagram.

At the heart of all craftsmanship, is the spirit of play. The desire to perfect one’s craft has roots in first a genuine appreciation of its inherent beauty, and then a further curiousity in understanding the materiality of the trade, understanding all the ‘how’s and ‘why’s. Tod’s Gommino has long been an icon of this pure spirit, not just embodying joy in its make, but also simply in its wake. This is what the Italian Diaries is all about; in the latest campaign for the Gommino, five young talents find themselves in front of the camera lens, at ease as portraits capture and archive their love for their various artistic pursuits — each a contemporary expression of the Gommino’s timeless, jubilant elegance.
Featuring the signature rubber pebble sole, the Gommino in its latest evolution is available in the rich textures of suede or calf leather, offered in the brand’s natural hues as well as a palette of bold colours of yellow, light blue, and orange.
This contemporary vibrancy of the legacy silhouette is expanded in the charming visual narrative of the campaign. Overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany, renowned photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch sits with actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta, musician Lennon Gallagher, writer and director Stella Banderas, model and artist Roberto Rossellini and singer and actor Leo Gassmann in historical residence Villa Talamo. The mix of black-and-white with colourful images capture self-confidence and the energy of Italian lifestyle, the contrasting timelines of the setting and individuals a commentary on the essence of heritage as a living, evolving force — read on for a series of short interviews that uncover how each talent is testament to Tod’s and the Gommino’s timeless appeal.
This campaign celebrates Tod’s iconic Gommino and the essence of contemporary Italian lifestyle. What impressed you most about your experience with the brand, and what does it mean to you to be part of this story?
Leo Gassmann: The campaign was shot in a typical Tuscan farmhouse by the sea. The people who worked on the campaign were all great professionals, and I immediately felt at home. Even my colleagues, whom I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time thanks to this campaign, were all special people I will always carry in my heart. What impressed my the most was the brand’s great ability to create a sense of family and belonging.
The Gommino loafer is a symbol of timeless elegance that transcends trends and suits every generation. Do you have a personal connection to it? How do you incorporate it into your everyday style?
Roberto Rossellini: I would easily wear the loader as an everyday shoe. Very comfortable but also has a sense of elegance. I would wear it with some jeans and a nice shirt on a regular day. If I was going out, I would pair it with a nice suit.
Italian lifestyle is synonymous with effortless chic and a deep appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. What aspects of the Italian lifestyle resonate most with you, and how do they influence the way you life and dress?
Stella Banderas: There’s an ease and elegance to Italian style I really admire. It feels polished and refined but never forced. There’s no need to overcomplicate anything. There’s an air of casualness that I love. This plays out in the Italian lifestyle in general and that’s something I hope I embody in both style and way of living.
You all come from families with strong ties to the worlds of art, cinema, and music. How has this heritage influenced your relationship with fashion and your personal style?
Ella Bleu Travolta: Growing up, my parents always supported me, my style and any endeavour that I wanted to do. This allowed me to take influence from different styles and things I saw around me. I grew up watching and listening to a lot of classic film and music which gave me such a strong appreciation and love for a more timeless style while also adding in beautiful modern designs which I think Tod’s does very very well.
Your generation is redefining elegance, blending heritage with innovation. How do you imagine the future of fashion, and what role do you think craftsmanship plays in luxury today?
Lennon Gallagher: I think fashion will always take inspiration from the past, like now a lot of people my age are drawing from the 90s and early 2000s while still having modernity. My generation definitely aren’t just looking for things that look cool but are going to last a long time and that’s where craftsmanship will play a huge role in the future of fashion.

Jay-Z RAPE ACCUSER WANTS LAWSUIT AGAINST HER TOSSED
Published April 22, 2025 5:59 PM PDT
The woman who accused Jay-Z and Diddy of raping her when she was 13 years old is now taking legal steps to try and dismiss a lawsuit Jay-Z filed against her.
Jay’s accuser, who first sued him for rape as a Jane Doe, filed new legal docs Tuesday to dismiss the defamation suit the music mogul filed against her and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, in Alabama.
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims Jay-Z can’t sue her over the claims because she made them in court documents and are therefore privileged … adding that the interview she did with NBC was based on her claims in the court docs.
As we reported … the woman claimed Jay and Diddy raped her in New York back in 2000. She ultimately dropped the rape lawsuit … and Jay-Z then sued her and Buzbee in Alabama, where she lives, over bringing the case in the first place.

TMZ.com
The woman now wants Jay-Z’s lawsuit dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be filed again.
Buzbee previously filed a motion to get Jay’s lawsuit against him dismissed … claiming they struck a deal and Jay reneged … an allegation HOV’s camp previously told us was bogus.
In her motion, the woman makes a similar claim about dismissing her lawsuit per the alleged agreement.
We reached out to reps for Jay-Z … so far, no word back.
Many people are now exploring Real World Assets Finance (RWAfi), a branch of blockchain that turns physical items into tokens. Plume Blockchain stands out by weaving compliance and asset tokenization into one platform. Discover how Plume and RWAfi work together, why they matter, and how they could reshape your approach to owning and trading real items.
Understanding RWAfi
RWAfi involves converting real-world assets into blockchain tokens. Imagine scanning a paper document so you can handle it digitally—only now you’re working with tangible items with actual market value. Through RWAfi, you can fractionalize ownership and streamline transfers, enabling people worldwide to invest or trade in assets without being limited by location.
Real estate, rare art, collectibles, and commodities can all be represented by tokens, which simplifies buying, selling, and transferring these physical resources. More importantly, it creates new financial products since you can pair tokenized items with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and data feeds, potentially introducing fresh ways to earn income or hedge against market swings.
What is Plume?
Plume is the first modular blockchain built exclusively for RWAfi. Other blockchains often center on digital currencies or specific use cases, but Plume integrates compliance and tokenization at its foundation. This structure allows many real-world assets—from collectible memorabilia to precious metals—to become digital tokens.
Plume welcomes different asset classes, empowering institutions, casual collectors, and inventive developers to interact within one ecosystem. By handling compliance directly on the chain, Plume avoids extra hurdles many projects face when they try to include legal checks in their smart contracts. As a result, everything runs more transparently for those looking to bring real assets on-chain.
Plume Arc: the tokenization engine
Plume Arc stands as the engine behind asset tokenization on Plume. It’s a modular framework that links issuers to key service providers—like KYC/AML platforms or custodians—ensuring every aspect of compliance is handled smoothly.
For instance, if you plan to tokenize real estate, you’ll rely on Plume Arc to confirm the legal identity of buyers, manage fiat gateways, and verify that each step meets regulatory requirements. Its versatility comes from a specialized token standard called ERC-3643, which embeds compliance features into tokens themselves.
Smart wallets: native account abstraction
After tokenizing an asset, you’ll want an easy way to manage and trade it. This is where Plume’s Smart Wallets step in. Traditional blockchains use externally owned accounts that often need extra smart contracts for advanced features, which can be cumbersome. Plume embeds those features into user accounts by default, reducing the need for separate contracts.
This native account abstraction lets you perform gas-sponsored transactions or combine multiple actions simultaneously. You could stake a tokenized painting or switch between various DeFi strategies without juggling different wallets.
Plume Data Highway: Oracle and Real Data Feeds
RWAfi depends on accurate data from outside sources. Plume’s Data Highway ensures real-time information flows securely into the blockchain. It uses TLSNotary technology to verify data, reserving part of each block to store external updates. For example, if you want to tokenize commodities that rely on market prices, the Data Highway can confirm daily rates and feed that information directly on-chain.
This isn’t limited to financial data; it can incorporate weather details for agricultural tokens or consumer demand statistics for new kinds of assets. Having reliable data baked into the chain, Plume helps RWAfi projects automate calculations based on real-world events.
Expanding RWAs: collectibles, art, and more
The range of assets that can be tokenized on Plume goes beyond real estate or metals. Collectors might want to tokenize antique items, while tech fans could fractionalize GPUs used for AI tasks. Plume’s Smart Wallets simplify handling these varied assets by offering built-in functions for staking, lending, or storing them until they’re ready for sale. Because every user account on Plume comes pre-equipped with these features, you can manage an entire RWAfi portfolio in a single wallet instead of juggling multiple smart contracts.
With more than 170 projects already developing on Plume, the network continues to expand rapidly. Plume offers a modular software development kit (SDK) to handle this. Developers can design custom workflows that tap into Plume’s compliance tools and data feeds. That way, new projects can concentrate on their core goal while meeting security and legal requirements.

Overcoming hurdles for institutional adoption
Plume tackles two main challenges that big financial institutions care about. The first is compliance, which Plume handles by automating identity checks and transaction monitoring at the blockchain layer. This helps banks and asset managers meet global standards. The second is liquidity. By working with secondary marketplaces like tZERO, Plume gives tokenized assets a ready space to be traded. If you hold a stake in a tokenized real estate project or want to sell equities that are on-chain, you’ll likely face fewer waiting periods.
The Plume token: key details
At the core of Plume’s blockchain is the PLUME token, introduced on January 21, 2025, with a total supply capped at 10 billion, with an initial circulating supply of 20%, equating to 2 billion tokens. PLUME handles transaction fees to keep the network active. It also allows staking to secure the chain, rewarding those who help maintain it.
On top of that, PLUME grants governance rights, letting holders propose or vote on system changes. Since the token plays multiple roles in the ecosystem, it keeps the community involved in Plume’s direction.
Plume’s Roadmap and Plume Passport
Looking ahead, Plume aims to scale its infrastructure and incorporate more real-time data feeds. As the platform brings in more asset classes, you’ll see new ways to participate in RWAfi—from tokenized collectibles to equity-based offerings. One major milestone is the arrival of the Plume Passport, an all-in-one wallet that combines identity checks with gasless transactions.
By bundling compliance, staking, and collateral options into a single user interface, Plume Passport hopes to cater to everyone, not just crypto veterans. This approach removes common stumbling blocks by letting you handle multiple DeFi actions under one roof, backed by Plume’s inherent legal and technical safeguards.
Moca Network and 0G AI Agents
Moca Network, connected to Animoca Brands, merges its AIR Kit digital identity with Plume. Over 700 million people from Moca’s partner ecosystems gain easier access to RWAfi opportunities, including institutional-grade asset staking. By embedding universal identity verification, this partnership cuts through many regulatory delays and makes the onboarding process smoother.
Plume is also joining forces with 0G to introduce RWAI Agents—an AI-powered suite that simplifies real-world asset (RWA) finance. These decentralized agents will handle everything from tokenizing assets to conducting research, generating reports, and managing DeFAI-based vault operations.
Conclusion
RWAfi and Plume offer a glimpse of how physical goods can be digitized and traded at blockchain speed. By weaving compliance and data verification right into the chain, Plume is clearing hurdles that often slow asset tokenization on other platforms. The result aims to be a simpler journey for those who want to own or trade items backed by real-world value.
Sharon Osbourne has mysteriously called off her planned talk show tour over an alleged “family issue.”
The TV personality had previously canceled a public appearance at Mad Monster Party in Phoenix due to her husband Ozzy Osbourne “not being able to fly.”
Sharon Osbourne has been the primary caretaker of her ailing husband, who has been battling Parkinson’s disease and is said to be unable to walk.
Sharon has sparked concerns after she abruptly canceled her entire talk show tour.
The 72-year-old was scheduled to head to Scandinavia this week for a series of four shows dubbed “Cut The Cr-p,” but the dates have now been mysteriously canceled at the last minute.
She was supposed to kick off the tour on Tuesday in Stockholm and visit other cities within the region, including Helsinki, where one venue detailed the event saying: “Sharon Osbourne, the well-known international TV personality, is now making her debut on stage – live. On her European tour, she’ll be interviewed by Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielsen.”
“On stage, Sharon promises to reveal everything about the most challenging years of her eventful life,” the venue added.

Although Sharon is yet to comment on why she pulled the plug on the tour, The Mirror reports that Oslo’s Folketeateret Venue, where she was due to be appearing on Saturday, said they believed it was because of a “family issue.”
Last year, she was forced to cancel a public appearance at Mad Monster Party in Phoenix due to her husband Ozzy “not being able to fly.”

Sharon Osbourne’s Husband’s Health Is Worsening
MEGA
The tour cancellation comes amid her husband Ozzy’s ailing health condition with Parkinson’s disease.
Sharon has been the primary caregiver of the legendary rocker, who was first diagnosed with the condition in 2003.
In February, she opened up about Ozzy’s health as he prepares to hit the stage for his final concert in July with his Black Sabbath group.
Sharon disclosed that the Black Sabbath frontman can no longer walk due to the effects of the condition on his health, but shared that his singing voice is “as good as ever.”
“He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” Sharon told The Sun of her husband’s final show.

“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it’s affected his legs,” she continued. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
Ozzy disclosed he had been diagnosed with the brain disorder in 2020 after suffering a fall the previous year.
He has reportedly undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023.

Ozzy Will Not Perform A Full Set In Black Sabbath Show
MEGA
Meanwhile, Ozzy will reportedly not perform a full set when he reunites with his Black Sabbath band for the first time in 20 years.
Earlier this year, the Prince of Darkness opened up about his upcoming performance in his “Ozzy Speaks Show,” where he confessed that he’ll only be doing “little bits and pieces.”
“I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath, but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”
The event will feature a dozen bands, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Anthrax, and will also see a “supergroup” performance comprising members of Limp Bizkit, Van Halen, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Faith No More.
Sharon Osbourne Says The Performance Would Be Ozzy’s ‘Full Stop’
MEGA
Despite Ozzy’s love for performance, Sharon noted that the concert would be the rocker’s final show.
“Ozzy didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there’s been no full stop,” she said. “This is his full stop.”
The all-day heavy metal concert at Villa Park is a charity initiative, as proceeds from the show will be donated to several Parkinson-related charities.
These charities include Cure Parkinson’s, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.

Ozzy Osbourne Says He’ll ‘Die A Happy Man’ If He Passes Away While Performing
MEGA
Sharon’s husband, Ozzy, was forced to quit touring in early 2023 because of his many health conditions.
However, he disclosed that if he got the chance to play one final show, it would be to repay a debt of gratitude he owed to his fans for their support through the years.
“That’s one of the things I’ve been the most fucking pissed off at: I never got the chance to say goodbye or thank you,” he told Rolling Stone UK. “Because my fans are what it’s all about. If I can just do a few gigs… They’ve been loyal to me for f-cking years. They write to me, they know all about my dogs. It’s my extended family, really, and they give us the lifestyle we have. For whatever reason, that’s my goal to work to. To do those shows.”
He added: “If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”

The next big event is headed for NetEase’s Marvel Rivals. Apparently, the devs have gotten frustrated at players missing easy headshots – now, it’s all headshots, all the time.
The Giant Size Brain Blast event is exactly what it looks like. Those classic big-head-mode cheat codes have been brought into the default experience, and promise free rewards for anyone looking to grind them out.
While the exact details of this event remain under wraps (thanks, MarvelRivals.gg), there is a good deal we already know.
First and foremost, a release date. The chaos starts on April 25th, and if you play at least 10 rounds of it during the festivities, you’ll get an emote for a character of your choice. What is the emote? You’ll never guess – it makes their head big.
You’ll also pick up a Title reward, depending on how you do. The top 10, 100, and 500 players of each character will get a corresponding title.
Naturally, when the event ends, so do your chances at these rewards. Welcome to free-to-play, baby.
Beyond the obvious gameplay implications, we don’t yet know how exactly the event will play out. The adapted game mode, for instance, remains a mystery.
