IntoTheVerse January 2024 recap
Breaking New Ground: IntoTheVerse’s Latest Updates of January in 2024!
Greetings, IntoTheVerse community! As we step further into the realm of blockchain gaming, we are thrilled to share our monthly update. Our journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, and we are proud to announce some significant milestones and exciting collaborations.
Securing Grants and Partnerships
Major Grants Achievement: We have secured grants from Metaplex and Magicblock after winning the Metaplex and SOAR tracks at Solana Speedrun 2 with our fully on-chain dungeon raider game, SOLDungeons.
Collaborations for fully Onchain Gaming: In our quest for fully onchain gaming, we have partnered with Flow Foundation, Nibiru Chain, and Vara Network.
Technological Breakthroughs
Unity and Blockchain Integration: A significant stride in our technology was compressing 3D map data in Unity to a few kilobytes. We did not stop there; we have successfully put this data on-chain and fetched updates from smart contracts into the Unity editor. This paves the way for fully on-chain games that preserve game states, fostering innovation and developer composability.
Intrant Inferis (flagship RPG on Solana) Updates
Community Alpha Release: The team is working diligently on the alpha release for our community. Get ready for a sneak peek into the future of gaming! Check it out: https://x.com/IntrantInferis?s=20
StreamNFT Integration: We are integrating rentals into our marketplace, enhancing player experience and accessibility.
Smart Contracts for Gaming Dynamics: New smart contracts are underway for player attributes, rarities, and upgrades, powered by Metaplex.
Enhanced Game Functionality: We are focusing on improved narrations and checkpoints, ensuring they are preserved on-chain via cNFTs.
Technology and Infrastructure
Google Cloud Integration: Utilizing Google Cloud for game addressables is a key development, made possible through our Google Cloud for Startups partnership.
Token-Based Access Control: Research is ongoing on using the Solana token extension for effective access control in our on-chain game logic.
Exploring Bolt for Off-Chain Computation: We are looking into Bolt for leveraging off-chain computation via rollups on Solana for Intrant Inferis.
Community and Collaborations
Rex Collaboration: Exciting news for SOLDungeons enthusiasts! We are collaborating with Rex to test these with our community.
Media and Outreach
