Whether you were unable to attend the live event or just want to review the highlights, this recap will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the key takeaways from the AMA.
PART 1: GENERAL REVIEW
- What is The Unfettered?
The Unfettered is a genre-defying game that has been developed with Unreal Engine 5. It immerses players in a captivating dark fantasy environment and introduces unique earning mechanisms through its blockchain-based infrastructure. From a technical standpoint, we can categorize the game into two main aspects: Web2 and Web3. In terms of gameplay, we offer three distinct modes: which include Soulslike, Roguelike, and Arena elements.
- The Unfettered Milestone
The development of The Unfettered has reached several significant milestones. One of the biggest achievements is the implementation of AI, which enhances the game’s NPC interaction system. Players will engage with select NPCs through text-based conversations, offering a unique and immersive experience.
In addition to that, here are some other notable milestones:
Steam demo release: The Unfettered has released a demo version of The Unfettered on the Steam platform, allowing players to get a taste of the game’s mechanics and atmosphere for free
Founder’s Pass NFT launch: The Unfettered has introduced the Founder’s Pass, a collection of exclusive NFTs, which grants players special in-game benefits and rewards.
Exclusive Sale of Souls token, which was for NFT holders only
IDOs of SOULS
Recently, The Unfettered announced the introduction of a Staking system for Souls, offering players the opportunity to stake their tokens and earn additional rewards.
- The Unfettered Development Updates
The Unfettered is being developed to cater to both Web2 and Web3 gaming experiences.
The Web2 version of The Unfettered will be available on platforms like Steam, where players can fully immerse themselves in the game’s AI-based infrastructure and enjoy the rich Souls-like RPG elements of the game’s story.
On the other hand, the Web3 version offers an entirely different experience. In a Web3 RPG game with a story, repeating the same tasks can become monotonous. To address this, The Unfettered’s Web3 version introduces two additional game modes alongside the story mode: PvE Roguelike mode and PvP Arena mode.
In the PvE mode, players will engage in battles against waves of challenging mobs and bosses, which spawn in specific sections of The Unfettered’s map. As players progress through the waves, they will have the opportunity to claim unique NFT items from defeated enemies, such as armor and weapons. The rewards obtained become more valuable as the waves become more difficult, providing an exciting and rewarding experience.
In the PvP Arena mode, players will compete against each other in an arena setting, with an entry fee required to participate. This mode can be likened to “last man standing” games, where the last player remaining receives the rewards. Here’s where it gets interesting: players can equip the NFT items obtained in the PvE mode for the PvP mode, intensifying the competition and strategy.
Furthermore, players will need to spend SOULS tokens to repair or upgrade their NFT items, which becomes essential for progressing through the waves in the PvE mode. This creates a significant burning mechanism for the SOULS token within the game, as players consume tokens during item-related activities. This burning mechanism reduces the circulating supply of SOULS, increasing its scarcity and value. It adds an additional layer of utility and economic incentive to the gameplay experience in The Unfettered’s Web3 version.
- The Unfettered relationship with Community and Partners
Our relationship with the community and our partners is incredibly close and collaborative. We prioritize keeping them consistently updated on our progress and developments. We always ask their feed-backs and the demo version is perfect way to do it. You can see our update’s most results of the communities feedbacks. Also, building strong partnerships is essential for our project’s growth and reaching a wider audience. We are constantly seeking partnerships that can benefit our project in terms of development support and expanding our player base. In fact, we are excited to share that we recently announced a partnership with Playstation. This collaboration enables us to develop and release our upcoming game, The Unfettered, on the PS4 and PS5 platforms.
- The Unfettered Biggest Problem to face
One of the biggest challenges we have encountered is effectively introducing our project to the target audience. Our project belongs to a complex genre, and conveying its unique features and value to people has been a struggle. We firmly believe that even if we have successfully solved significant problems within our industry, it is crucial to present our project in a way that resonates with people. Without effective communication and engagement, even the most groundbreaking solutions or web2&web3 integration solutions-like our mint on demand system- might not gain traction.
- The Unfettered Upcoming Big Event
Firstly, after months of hard work, I am delighted to announce the nearing completion of our TestNet but we still have 1 or 2 months to launch it. This milestone will allow players to experience the thrilling combination of a soulslike game with integrated blockchain technology. Alongside the TestNet, we will be releasing a player dashboard that enables users to manage their in-game assets and blockchain holdings conveniently in one place. This will serve as an excellent opportunity for players who are new to blockchain gaming to explore and immerse themselves in the world of web3.
As for the tournament, today marks the beginning of our SpeedRun Tournament collaboration with you all. in honor of the GGG community. The tournament will be based on the demo version of The Unfettered available on Steam, and participants will compete in a speedrun format. The primary objective is to defeat the first boss as quickly as possible. We have an exciting prize pool of $500 for top20. We will be sharing further details and updates on our social media accounts in the coming hours.

PART 2: Community Question
- Q1 from @Kreidell#0721: Web3 Games are a hit recently and there are a lot of games are on space right now, what are your plans to gain more players and attraction?
First of all, let’s talk about attracting attention, The Unfettered is a project that carefully chooses the topics it contains, SoulsLike, RogueLike and Arena are all very niche categories and we understand the needs of these games very well, so we are working on The Unfettered, especially for this species.
If we talk about more players, nowadays everyone says they are targeting web2 players but we are a little different, we are making a web2 game first and after our game continues with 2 different modes on web3. We also offer the web2 experience with the innovations we have brought to our users on web3.
2. Q2 from @Capcosmos #4519: Your thoughts on adding AI to the Unfettered were in all of the current games, should we add it, or have you been thinking about this since the beginning of the project?
The Unfettered adventure started about 5 years ago and we have been developing the last 2 years full time. 5 years ago, AI was not so common. However, especially RPG fans, we were very excited when we connected with a system where players can have unique interactions, and that’s why we added it. So we follow the game and technology closely, we are open to all innovations without breaking our main line.
3. Q3 from @Robert10 #5054: 1. Can you explain more about the gameplay mechanics of The Unfettered in both the PvE Roguelike mode and the PvP Arena mode?
2. How are the NFT items obtained in the PvE mode? Are they randomly generated or are there specific challenges or quests that players need to complete?
A kind of Rogue like system is waiting for us on the PVE side, I guess everyone thinks of 2D games like “”Hades”” or “”Vampire survivors””, but there are good examples in 3D, for example, “”Ziggurat””. So and of day what awaits us, Random Dungeons & Mobs, Traps and Badass bosses which is my favorites.
On the PVP side, we will have more badd ass then bosses, I mean bad ass players, and the battles will live place in a souls-like atmosphere in different lobby systems.
Finally, the items in PvE, namely NFTs, will drop depending on both the difficulty of the lvl and the chance difference.
4. Q4 from @pandalucu66 #5805: The Unfettered aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 gaming experiences. How do you envision the integration of these two worlds to create a seamless and engaging gameplay experience for users?
Very good question, our adventure begins as soulslike rpg. first of all, our players dive into our story and experience the gameplay elements we offer with our soulslike elements. After taht, they have the desire to continue this adventure, more mobs, more boss, when they have the desire our PvE mode is waiting for them, as rogue-like, when they full with AI, to give them pleasure, bad ass players who are in this exact situation are waiting at the arena door :)
we also offer web2 experience on web3 side with the innovation we have brought in this establishment
5. Q5 from @Pendekarbiru #4884: The gaming industry is highly competitive, with countless new games being released regularly. What unique aspects or features does The Unfettered bring to the table that sets it apart from other similar games in the market?
almost same with q1
6. Q6 from @Donilnilton9 #7409: The Unfettered offers both PvE and PvP game modes. How do you balance the competitive aspects of PvP while ensuring a fair and enjoyable experience for all players, including those who prefer PvE gameplay?
Even some players may prefer PvE or PvP only. First of all, items will be obtained from PvE modes, namely NFT, and Tokens in PvP modes. On the PvP side, there will be a Rank system, in addition to this, our game is a skillbase game, I’m sure everyone here knows the Elder Ring and there is a Naked guy there, he fights all the bosses without using armor, so we may come across some skillfull player like that :)
7. Q7 from @Ggg#6342: Talking about NFTs, can you please share with us, what is the difference between your NFT and other traditional gaming NFTs?
You can think of our NFTs, like “Founder pass” or future collections like this, They are like the pack system in MMO games, these systems bring you privilege in games. , on the other hand,Gaming NFTs you can think like the items on the MMO games.
8. Q8 from @LCS111#4624: During these turbulent times when the market conditions for GameFi and P2E games is not good and a lot of FOMO is there,how can you ensure smooth operationality?
By explaining ourselves and working on the project is the best way. Let’s not forget that for NFTs or Tokens is the biggest utility of them, our game. And we focused on exactly these two issues right now. We are trying to make our game better every day. And as much as possible, we will be explaining ourselves better to more people with new tournaments and new AMAs every week, but also very soon we will be starting our different events on Discord.
So as you know two things are important to survive in the web3 world, product and community, we will take care to do the best for both.
9. Q9 from @CloseClose#4975: The Unfettered has chosen to target web2 influencers initially before expanding to web3 influencers. Can you elaborate on the strategic reasoning behind this decision and how it aligns with your goals for community engagement and adoption?
Of course, we want to stand out with our game. In the Web2 world, the most important thing is the game. Also web2 players are very sensitive to web3 elements so they need to hear from people they trust already, web2 streammers.
But that doesn’t mean we will never work with web3 streams
10. Q10 from @Jackk#8212: Can you explain the process of acquiring and owning lands in the Unfettered Metaverse? How do players benefit from their land ownership?
Answer: too early to answer
Let’s look forward to a brighter future in The Unfettered — the First Story-Based AA PC Game that combines Soulslike and RPG genres with Play-to-Earn, NFT, and Metaverse concepts!
