Introducing: Stageverse Creator Alpha
Hello friends!
Today we’re excited to finally launch the next phase of our journey together — Stageverse Creator Alpha.
The team has been hard at work building the platform foundation that will enable anyone to create and share immersive social experiences within Stageverse — no coding skills required!
This is an early peak at what’s coming — we’re excited to bring the community in for feedback and suggestions early so we can continue to co-create the future of Stageverse together.
What can you expect from the Creator Alpha? Here are the high-level rocks of the release.
- Avatar Customization: Create your own unique 3D Avatar identity
- Space Customization: Create your own unique 3D Space and use it for community events, hanging out with friends, or just plain fun!
- Social Interaction: Interact with others in new ways with Dances, Emotes, and Spatial Voice Chat.
- Livestreaming: Livestream into your Space to create immersive 3D events and experiences (e.g. Community AMAs, Town Halls, Concerts, DJ Sets, Art Exhibitions, Movie Premiers, Game Nights, and more)
- Landowners Experience: For Landowners, you’ll now be able to create a Space and link it to your Land so that it’s directly accessible from the Map. You’ll also be able to visit your Land Plot inside Stageverse — a taste of the future!
Avatar Customization
Alpha
We consider identity a core pillar of the metaverse, powered by expressive 3D avatars. We’ve built the foundations of a system that will enable anyone to build their own unique, expressive Avatar. Customize your facial structure, hairstyle, outfit, accessories, and more.
Future Plans
Now that we have the basic modular system in place, be on the lookout for more customization options and much more content in the near future. We’re also looking forward to continuing on our path towards interoperability with other platforms.
Space Customization
Alpha
3D environments are the base unit of the Stageverse ecosystem. We’ve built the foundations of a system that enables anyone to quickly build their own metaverse Space.
Future Plans
With the basic system in place, in the near future be on the lookout for more templates to choose from, an expanded placeable object library, the ability to import your own 3D assets, and deeper creative control over your Space’s aesthetic and environment (e.g. changing colors, materials, textures, and lighting inside the Space). We’re also looking at incorporating some next-gen AI image generation tools into the experience — stay tuned for that!
For those more technically inclined, we’ll also be working on a Unity SDK that will allow more technical builders to import bespoke Spaces directly from Unity into Stageverse.
Social Interaction
Alpha
As we’ve mentioned before, we believe that the promise of the metaverse lies in its ability to bring us closer together through avatar embodiment and shared 3D space. We’ve significantly enhanced the ability to ‘connect’ with one another inside Stageverse through a new animation system (Dances/Emotes) and positional Voice Chat on Browser. We’re super excited about this feature and look forward to chatting with you inside Stageverse!
Future Plans
We will continue to optimize Spatial Voice Chat to make it more realistic and responsive to the 3D environment; and we have plans to continue enhancing avatar body language through more emotes/dances and enhanced facial expressions that respond dynamically to voice chat.
Livestreaming
Alpha
While Livestream events have been a staple of the Stageverse experience for the past year, we finally have a system set up for anyone to run their own Livestream event inside Stageverse. Take a quick peek at our Mint Party Livestream with DJ Tricker (our CEO) on the decks!
For more information on how to set on up, you can check out our Help Article.
Future Plans
We have plans to continue to improve upon our Livestream MVP by removing friction from the core experience of setting up a stream. We’re also exploring more event host functionality (e.g. token-gated spaces, moderation tools) and more ways to facilitate 3D-native audience/host interaction to make events that much more engaging — stay tuned!
Landowner Experience
Alpha
As we’ve said before, the Stage represents the primary entry point for exploring Spaces in Stageverse, and the basis for our creator community to come together, organize, participate, and build together.
Landowners will now be able to directly link any Space to their Land, making their Spaces directly accessible from the Stage Map. Additionally, Landowners will now be able to visit a preview of their Land directly within the Stageverse experience. This is just a small peak at what the future might hold.
Future Plans
As we’ve mentioned, our long term goal is that the Stage becomes an immersive layer for exploring and discovering Spaces within Stageverse. Part of this vision includes gradually evolving the Stage from a 2D map into an immersive 3D world that we can explore and traverse together. This will not be an overnight journey — we’re committed to making gradual progress towards these ends, and incorporating community feedback along the way.
Conclusion
This release is an important milestone for us — it represents the beginning of our journey as a true platform for creativity. We’re looking forward to seeing all of your creations, hearing your feedback, and continuing to build and improve upon these foundations together.
