💥 Big Project Update!
- This is a lengthy but informative post you won't want to miss; you've been warned!
🛠️ Game Development Updates:
🔸 Our team has been working tirelessly to complete our current development goals and bring new features for the upcoming playtest in a few weeks:
▫️ Loadout System: We’ve replaced the in-game store system with a new Loadout System. Now, you can customize your weapons to match your playstyle and choose from a variety of attachments, skins, and unique weapon variations.
▫️ Social System: A new social system has been integrated, allowing you to add friends, join your friend’s games, invite others to private and public lobbies, chat through voice chat, and more!
▫️ Pre-Game Lobby: We’re developing a new pre-game lobby with game settings for custom matches. This will include options for private/public games, map settings, game modes, choosing teams, and other customizable features.
▫️ New Game Modes: We’re working on exciting new game modes to enhance your experience and offer more variety. Fan-favorite FPS game modes like domination, hardpoint, TDM, and many others are coming to Alternates very soon. We plan to keep adding more of these with each upcoming open playtest.
▫️ New Maps: New maps are being built in line with our storyline to offer more immersive and exciting gameplay. These maps will challenge you to adapt your gameplay and find the best dominant strategies.
New Weapons: We’re integrating new weapons for this upcoming playtest, including new SMGs, a new Assault Rifle, a Pump-Action Shotgun, a Light Machine Gun, and new Melee weapons. Each weapon will have a variety of attachments to choose from!
▫️ Attachment System: A new attachment system will let players tailor weapons to their playstyle, enhancing game mechanics across all current and future game modes. We’re hosting private testing games to ensure these attachments are balanced and effective.
▫️ Seamless Login & Wallet Connection: A new seamless login and wallet connection system is in development. This system will eliminate the need to open a browser or manually connect your wallet. Your NFT wallet will be linked to your account and synced with our game’s database, making the entire NFT integration seamless.
🌐 Web Updates:
🔸 Being a web3 gaming project, we understand that our website is integral to the game’s content, economy, and overall core. This is why we are working on completely revamping our old website and apps. Here’s what we’ve been working on:
▫️ New Landing Page: A redesigned Home Page is being finished and will be launched on our next update. This landing page will provide all the general information about Alternates, and our team.
▫️ Player Hub dApp Launch: We’ve created the Player Hub, which will be the main platform connecting our in-game and web-related features. You’ll be able to view player profiles, stats, inventories, social engagement, and much more! User profile pages will also let you track personal stats, social missions, marketplace activity, and so much more! Our marketplace will also be part of our Player Hub dApp; here, you’ll be able to buy, sell, or trade all of your in-game assets. The goal of the Player Hub is to unify all features into one central platform, ensuring that players have all services, content, and information in a single place with a user-friendly design.
▫️ Marketplace Revamp: We’ve restructured our marketplace to offer the best possible purchasing and trading experience. We’ve streamlined the process by initially including only the essential features, with new features being gradually implemented.
🚀 Web3 Updates:
🔸 We’ve recently partnered with Sequence, which will provide our entire web3 infrastructure. We’ve implemented most of the essential features and developed some independently to give our players the seamless experience we’ve always aimed for. Our official partnership announcement is coming soon.
👫 Community, General, and Social Update:
🔸 Alternates is building alongside web3 and NFT communities at its core, not just a traditional game with some web3 incentives. This means we are focusing on integrating many of the biggest NFT communities into our game’s lore, main characters, map creation process, and every aspect of the game.
▫️ Storyline Explanation & Teaser: Our main goal as a web3 game is to onboard web3 communities and encourage them to interact as one. Our storyline reflects this, illustrating how the web3 community must unite and work together to overcome challenges, just as we must in the game. Here’s a lore teaser:
👾Metalands: Rift in Realities - In a multiverse where countless realities coexist, a cataclysmic event disrupts the delicate balance between worlds. A band of misfit heroes from different species unite to confront a hidden threat exploiting these newfound connections. They embark on a journey through unknown dangers, forging unexpected alliances and discovering powers that could forever alter the fate of the multiverse.
▫️ Public Documentation: We’re working on detailed documentation for Alternates to provide a deep overview of our ecosystem and plans. This documentation will be available alongside the launch of the new Home Page.
▫️ Special Announcements: In the coming weeks, we’ll announce a handful of new development partners, investors, advisors, team members, and official NFT collections that will be part of our initial storyline plans, with many more added along the way. Make sure to keep an eye out because some of these posts will include unique incentives and free limited digital assets!
