AlterVerse introduces the first ever Customizable, Tokenized Game Skins.
AlterVerse Inc., a next-gen, indie, game dev studio, is pleased to announce a major upgrade to our customization system.
In a blockchain game industry first, the AlterVerse Customizer will allow players to apply millions of pure colors and color gradients to tokenized game skin designs. Users will be able to make incredible personalized characters and items by choosing a design and coloring each zone separately while keeping the underlying design intact.
The customization system is now linked to the Enjin wallet where players securely hold the tokenized game skins they purchase. A quick check at login confirms ownership and allows the player to apply any of their tokenized skins.
Designer Eric Kinney has crafted seven new uniform designs specifically for the AlterVerse Customizer. “With over 16.7 million color possibilities per area, players will be able to use any crazy combination they can imagine,” Kinney said.
In addition to the extreme flexibility the new system gives to the average player to customize the skins they purchase, innovative Alliance and Server owners can choose separate uniform designs for their crew based on rank or role with a unified color scheme for example. Or they may want to use a single design for everyone with multiple color options to denote status. The flexibility for individual and group expression will ensure a colorful and interesting alternate universe!
Jeff McCaig, Studio Creative Director and chief architect of the system said, “As we add more customizable models, server owners will be able to use it to colorize and personalize their game environments in practically limitless ways.” At Electronic Arts and Perpetual Entertainment, Jeff served as a lead artist on many titles including The Sims 4, Star Trek Online and The Sims Mobile. He was also instrumental in designing tools for customizing content.
The game is set aboard large Disrupter starships in the AlterVerse. Each starship is a player owned, tokenized server.
Improved Efficiency and Performance: For example, instead of 9 enormous, 8k ship hull textures for color options, server owners will soon be able to colorize 1 gray scale ship hull texture with millions of color options. Players will now download far less and be treated to limitless variety. Several interior customization options will be made available to server owners as well. (Only skin designs created specifically for the new system will be customizable.)
Tim Barnes, lead programmer of the customization system said, “We wanted a system that wouldn’t consume large amounts of GPU memory, would still hit our performance targets, while at the same time giving our art department and our end users a plethora of options. We chose to run with a system that utilized color gradient lookup tables with masking maps.”
Public release of Disruption on Steam and other platforms will follow soon after the pre-alpha testing is complete.
Customizable, Enjin-backed uniform skins will be available for purchase and immediate delivery in the AlterVerse Market starting this weekend. Special bundles will be available for Server and Alliance owners.
