Hi, DeHorizon metaverse Humans! Are you ready for the upcoming DeVerse Internal Test II?
On the community call held on April 3rd, together with OG members Sadok and Dev, Shane had an in-depth discussion with community members about test II, and the topics covered the following points:
- 5 New Features in DeVerse Internal Test II
- 3 Types of Rewards in DeVerse Internal Test II
- DeVerse to launch on Polygon Mainnet
- Next week about DeVerse
Now, let’s review the essentials of their discussion and be up for the next week!
5 New Features in DeVerse Internal Test II
-3D Waiting Room
-Optimization of Matching Mechanism
-Text-chat Feature
-“Health Pack” Gameplay in “City of Dawn” Map
-Customize Your Keyboard Shortcuts
3D waiting room is where you can wander around and communicate with your teammates. Some surprises are left in the room for you to discover, which are the key elements to becoming mini-games in the game for the upcoming version. Go check out!
5v5 mode is still alive. Optimization of Matching Mechanism aims to increase matching efficiency. For example, if there are only two players in your room, you can also click the “MATCH” button and we’ll find three other teammates to form a team with you, which avoids long-time waiting.
Communication is GvG game, and many players demand a chat system. There are 4 channels available to have quick communication with others:
World Channel, System Channel, Team Channel, and Battle Channel.
Health Pack is new gameplay we added in “City of Dawn” Map, which will appear at 3 fixed places to help restore LOST HP.
And in test I, people might be a little bit confused about the control. Now you can customize hotkeys in your favor.

3 Types of Rewards in DeVerse Internal Test II
The Server will be open from 11th April to 8th May. The daily server’s online period will be 3 parts: 2–6 AM UTC; 13–17 UTC; 20–24 UTC. We will offer everyone the prize pool of more than 3 million $DVT in DeVerse Internal Test II.
The rewards will be divided into the following 3 parts:
Invitation Rewards with $DEVT
A unique user invitation code will be generated after players log into the game, which can be sent to friends to fill in optionally while log-in the game. One valid invitation will be rewarded 5 $DEVT. Each user has at most 20 chances of invite-to-reward to grab up to 100 $DEVT. Go tell your friends and invite them to play!
Ranking Rewards pool with $DVT
Biweekly Top 1000 Kills and Wins are the two rankings for the capable players to grab the rewards with the total prize pool of 1,634,000 $DVT. Same as in the last test: Internal Testing Ticket Holders will share an exclusive prize pool of 400,000 $DVT according to their ingame ranking.
Check-in Reward with $DVT
To keep everyone active in the test, we add the Check-in Reward. 349 $DVT accumulated total at most Biweekly, which means you can earn 698 $DVT in total by check-in every day during test II.

DeVerse to launch on Polygon Mainnet
We have announced that DeVerse will be entirely built on Polygon. Glad to work with Polygon Studios on technical solutions, game distribution, asset expansion and much more!
Check it out for more details: https://medium.com/@DeHorizon/deverse-is-to-launch-on-polygon-mainnet-9edf2cc28e19
Why choose Polygon? The reason is simple: lower gas fees, a larger community and a solid team. We’ll have an AMA on Polygon’s official Twitter Space soon. Don’t miss it out. We will migrate our NFTs once built on Binance to Matic. It is called DeSwap Travel. Please wait for our follow-up announcement and guidance for the specific operation. Some active users of Matic will have access to our Airdrop, stay tuned!
De-Swap Travel will launch on our website soon, which means holders of BSC-supported DeVerse NFT assets shall swap to Polygon-based NFTs for future development, including the Numen(SSR, SR), Props(Pre-mining Pass, Galaxy Cube, Magic Cube, Internal Testing Ticket, Sweetie Pie, Spirit Burning Necklace and Fiery Feast). Apparently, the network swap will not influence the quality of your NFTs. After you click to swap, your Polygon-based NFTs will automatically show up in your wallet address in 48 hours. Please find details in the later announcement.
We will probably work with Polygon’s portfolio and community in terms of games and other projects. There will be cross-promotion and cross-collaboration. Maybe you will see their assets in our game. You will never know!
Next week about DeVerse

The second map will be previewed eek, including its background storyand the new PVE gameplay. We will further discuss with you the process and details of the new map. Stay tuned.
Numen 2D co-creation

AMA Part
Q1 from Sadok: Are you considering more server locations?
A: We’ve been thinking about getting multiple servers, but for test II, there will still be one server globally. We will explore to get to know players’ opinions before the decision. We have multiple servers, it will be difficult for players in different areas to play together due to the pin.
Q2 from Globo: Will there be a scholarship system in test II?
A: Very good question. The scholarship system is in progress internally but is not available now. We also cooperate with many guilds, who have scholarship programs from their sides. Having our own scholarship is super important, which will be online around the official launch of DeVerse.
Q3 from babytiger#3722: Will DeVerse has its own marketplace on the site?
A: We will have our own Marketplace, which is expected to be available during DeVerse’s completed version is officially launched.
Q4 from pennchester#5694: Will there be PVE mode？
A: DeVerse’s second map is PVE mode. It will take one-to-many Melee gameplay. The specific content and related introduction, including its backstory, we will give a preview next week.
Q5 from Lexj🔥#0449: Why was DeMining canceled? It was said to be released in Nov 2021. Why was Q1 litepaper in DeHorizon not accomplished?
A: Many thanks to Lexj🔥#0449 for organizing and asking so many detailed questions. During the development of DeVerse’s gameplay and economic model, we also investigated a lot of other Gamefi projects. The GVG gameplay we chose is a type of scarcity and a certain threshold.
We believe that starting our first step from the DeVerse GvG model will better accumulate more enthusiastic and energetic players on DeHorizon’s platform, and build a platform full of entertainment and social attributes together, so for some early assumptions and our early expected version, we filtered and optimized some plannings in our actual operation and implementation.
To summarize, focusing on one thing and making it better is very important. That’s why we choose GvG as the first gameplay. More people enjoy this mode. For DeMining, maybe we will come up with it again.
Many people ask why DeHorizon can make all those games in a short time as a small team. A small team means a straight team. We always wanna make one game better until the best and then move on to the next one.
Our roadmap also ones and adjustments in our continuous development process. We will release DeHorizon metaverse trailer. It’s ongoing and coming soon. For Q2, we will have DVT listed on DEXs before the official launch of DeVerse. The DeTournament launch is delayed to Q3 and we actually changed the name of DeTournament. We will let you know the new name.
We added several items for Q2: build DeVerse on Polygon, set up and promote DeVerse Scholarship, launch DeVerse Geo Beta Test, and launch DeHorizon Marketplace. We’ll give you an updated roadmap soon to check all details.
Q6 from Lexj🔥#0449: Why is the platform so dynamic? The NFTs are ETH and Binance platformed, the Governance token is ETH mainnet but the farm tokens will be transitioned to Polygon chain? Did the team give up on the sidechain called DeChain? That’s why they adapt to Polygon.
A: Our understanding of a complete, high-quality metaverse ecosystem requires a chain of its own. Therefore, our future direction is also to do sidechains, and this goal will not change, but we have to focus now, to make you have fun.
In our current early stage, when the third-party chain cannot meet our needs, we will also develop our own chain to improve the platform's construction continuously.
With the development process of DeVerse, the core energy of our team is to make the first game well first. It is also the number one priority right now.
Q7 from Lexj🔥#0449: Why does DAO give 3 choices (new map, new Numen, voice/text chat) that are so simple? Most DAO options in other projects are complex and have a greater impact.
A: Communities in different ecosystems will have different forms of DAOs. When it comes to the particularity of a Gamefi product during the research and development process, we will focus on discussing the gameplay and some numeric value of the current first game — DeVerse, on the role of DAO and the proposed direction at this stage.
Some options seem to be simple options, but their actual implementation requires a lot of technology and manpower to complete. Therefore, whenever multiple choices the development efficiency of game projects or user preferences, we will seek the opinions of our community DAO members.
Of course, in addition to the votes of DAO members, whether it is the suggestions submitted by community members through daily chats or through the survey form, we will also collect them one by one and discuss them with you all on our Discord. When the opinions of most members converge, we will also implement it according to the actual situation.
Q8 from Lexj🔥#0449: Can you also please release more leaks? 1 concept drawing of a gun isn’t worthy and a pre-rendered land doesn’t have much impact.
A: I do agree with you. The gun is the very early process of DeTournament. I always want to be the first one to share when we have it, but our PR and marketing team tell me to chill a little bit. If you want more leaks, I’ll do that!
Q9 from Discord: What about DeMeta?
A: DeMeta is the passport of DeHorizon metaverse. We are going to do a campaign with DeMeta: DeHorizon metaverse comic book requires DeMeta to do some collection. Don’t worry! We don’t forget DeMeta.
Q10 from Dev: Do you have some campaigns about DEVT?
A: I know that many people complain about the price of DEVT. To make DEVT more valuable, you have to make sure that games are good enough, the community is strong enough. We do have more events and campaigns regarding DEVT to make sure more people can participate. We want to deliver the game and what we promised, the price will definitely appreciate.
Stay tuned!
The clock is ticking! Count down and get ready for the exciting DeVerse test II. Don’t forget to invite your friends to play for fun and to earn together! We will also update our Roadmap and are open to hearing your voices about our long-term plans. Stay tuned!
