Otherside unveils new economy
Otherside is shifting focus to its broader economic framework designed to integrate 74 resources across its 100,000 Otherdeeds. The NFT land plots are central to the virtual world, and this new system will impact what players own, gather, build, and trade.
The development team is engaged in 3D design, game mechanics, and smart-contract systems. However, specifics on resource distribution or individual functions have yet to be announced. Otherside aims to enhance the experience for both Otherdeed and Koda holders while attracting new players without assets.
Yuga Labs recently acquired the Unreal Engine platform from Improbable, securing a perpetual license for its multiplayer tech. This move solidifies control over the infrastructure supporting Otherside, reflecting a commitment to robust development.
Future updates will include development diaries, concept artwork, and opportunities for community feedback. The announcement also highlighted the first year of Otherside, showcasing community events, creator tools, and token-gated experiences. “Our focus is on making ownership matter in a way that enhances everyone’s experience,” said a team spokesperson.
