What is AlterVerse?

• A Metaverse platform focused on gaming, world-building, and different economies.
• It has native games and areas, like Sky City (first phase).
• It is involved with Web3, NFTs, and blockchain.
• “Free to play”, no wallet necessary.
• Partners can utilize the whole Metaverse.
• We are offering a virtual world.
• Built on Unreal Engine 5.1, the gold standard of the game building (that powers Fortnite) to port over to other consoles, mobile versions, VR and others.
• We are genuinely gamifying, not just our metaverse experience, with two standalone games, Outpost, a sci-fi shooter in Space and Rekt.

Development

• CEO and CTO were initially developing on Torque 3D and old Engine. We adopted the Unreal Engine for about two years. It kicked into high development and got into this massive metaverse building instead of just a traditional, typical game building on Steam.
• Six or seven years ago, Scott had a grand vision, not just a universe full of different game titles, kind of Xbox game, but instead, you´re actually in a world, and you can pour it out to these games through cars or teleportation. Not just games.
• Sky City for years.
• The transition from Unity to Unreal Engine started on January 2021 — with a public release in the summer of 2023.

Roadmap for 2023

• Q2, maybe early April: Sky City. Create your free profile, sign up, and get early access. Then live public open beta version.

Sky City in detail:

Quote: “You´ll spend hours there, trust us, building your house.”

• It is the central hub for the Alterverse, with the other games and worlds accessible as well.
• It will attract the NFT and blockchain gamers interested in all the land and NFTs.
• We will target the gamers out there, the same people who would play Fortnite, Val, Second Life, and Minecraft.
• Sky City is all about the journey, the socializing, the events, the retail, the mini-games, etc.
• We are offering partnerships, skins, and collectables.
• The central point is a platform called Epicenter. The goal is to create as much fun and activity in this area to help our partners grow and to bring in that audience.
• Play against each other, driving vehicles through obstacles and smashing these giant robots in a brawling style in the middle of the arena.
• We offer all the earns with $ACE tokens daily and in gamified ways.
• This makes this Epicenter some of the most prime real estate in Sky City.
• Real estate with some skyscrapers with massive public ground levels, but as you go up, every single floor and multiple floors can be their own NFT properties — a thousand just in this epicentre circle alone.
• This is only one of more than ten giant platforms of halos spheres in Sky City. Each with different themes, attractions, and environments to go out and explore and check all out.
• NFT digital collectable centre where you can buy everything from skins and equipment, clothing and sell your artwork, areas like this stadium arena, where we will host our native draft ball games, eSports events, concerts, and anything you can think of.
• Lush jungles, forest beaches, hidden caves and mines where you can find certain resources. Different islands and land plots that you can purchase and build on. Plenty to explore.
• Vehicles that you´re flying around, burn fuel, recharge these paid for with $ACE tokens you´re earning in these gamified ways. It´s a closed loop.
• Health, energy, hunger and thirst meters. Gather your resources and refill those meters. You can purchase more food, etc. You can go out to one of these giant biomes and fish hunt.
• Players can scavenge for other materials and use them to build their own NFT furnishings or build a house or different things to put in that house.
• The Unreal Engine has allowed us to build craft and even change item textures.
• You´ll spend hours in there, trust us, building your house.
• Everything is designed and built on top of this survival RPG code base.

Outpost in detail:

• Sci-fi shooter, Team Deathmatch, battle royale capture the flag.
• Giant space stations that can be owned and monetized.
• Track eSports competitive shooter players.

Rekt in detail:

• Hardcore survival game. You can answer a call to look for survivors on this planet, only to crash your ship there and find yourself stranded.
• They are designed to be a lot like Rust and Val Himm.
• Track survival crafting players.

Meta Servers in detail:

• Offer to our players can launch and own these servers for Rekt and Outpost themselves.

• Building on the Unreal Five Engine.
• We have 20 internal gaming veterans, mostly staff from blockchain gaming and traditional gaming.

Community questions:

When can we go in? Can we already buy some land?

• There is a closed beta, go to the website and sign up, get your profile set up and you will be the first to play it and test it out. Early access.
• Land sales are closer to our token launch.
• Late spring, early summer.
• The private market for selling skyscrapers.
• One of the benefits of owning real estate in Sky City is that you´ll be able to rent it out for special events, parties, etc. There are indeed numerous ways to monetize it — partner with Double Protocol.

What system requirements are necessary?

• We want everybody to be able to enjoy this.
• Our biggest goal has been optimizing this.
• Lower-Mid PCs will be able to handle the game.
• Mac, console.

Will the game be available on the play/app store? How can I play?

• Mirrored version on mobile is doable.
• Unreal is very supportive.
• A companion app for your journey through AlterVerse where you can customize your character, check your digital collectables, see events, calendar, leaderboards

What is the benefit of the partnership with ritestream? (answer from Kenny of ritestream)

Quote: “It is giving them what they want in a much streamlined way.”

• We want to be the go-to in Metaverse projects, supplying digital content, films, and TV shows.
• We can help with licensing content in your Metaverse.
• We´re going to develop a very, very, very close relationship with you and provide you with what you need and for us to support you and bring you guys and our community great content that you can enjoy with your friends and your loved ones in the Metaverse and anywhere.
• You have people in the music and film industries. You´re like trying to collaborate with all these different people covering all these other entertainment avenues, and it´s the collaboration´s what it´s all about.
• We believe in working and collaborating and building everything through blockchain and web3 and getting out there. It´s a beautiful future, guys.

(Answer from AlterVerse)

• We love working with partners specifically like yourself because it gives our gamers, our players, just more to experience, more to learn, and more to be a part of.
• It´s audience sharing.
• It is giving our gamers what they want in easy ways.
• I see a future where individuals are sitting with either VR or on PC, watching a ritestream movie in the theatre, getting some popcorn in a drone drops directly at their doorsteps.

What about security and privacy?

• The wallet security is in the hands of the players, not so much on AlterVerse servers or databases, so very decentralized sense.

Compared with other games and virtual worlds, what are AlterVerse advantages?

1. Unreal Engine is the gold standard for graphics. Few Metaverse branded offerings don´t have the graphic capability that we have. The world is realistic, and it does look like an authentic life.
2. Several games and mini-games that we´re creating in there. There are games, goals, objectives, and infrastructure.
3. The Meta Servers. We have the ability and the infrastructure to make copies and futuristic models of those communities, those cities like if you want to recreate London or your romantic vision of your city.
4. It´ll also be interesting to see all the Hollywood cinemas powered by ritestream.
