Treeverse
Welcome to
An introduction to the upcoming videogame (that happens to use NFTs)
Intro
Treeverse is a MMORPG in development. Founded by Lopify and Aizea, it was presented in 2021. Endless Cloud studio is the team working on it, formed by veterans who worked on titles such as League of Legends, Rainbow 6 Siege, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dark Souls 3, Marvel Spiderman.
The game will be free to play and available on mobile first. So, yes, everyone will be able to play. If you happen to like NFTs, you'll have them, but it won't be a requirement.
Development
The team is playing the long term while building in public. There are already 11 monthly updates where you can read how everything is going on.
We already know some details, like players will be able to: · explore lands · complete quests · for guilds · level up your skills
And what will these skills be? · melee · ranged · magic · crafting · mining · woodcutting · fishing
They also shared the first combat trailer, which got a lot of us quite excited.
So what about the NFTs?
They've repeated many times that it's a videogame. The important part is having fun. The technology behind happens to be a blockchain, which will allow you to own you in-game assets, but they'll probably avoid using the term NFT in order to not scare traditional gamers and web3 haters.
Anyway, there are already 3 NFT collections that you'll be able to use when the game releases.
420 Trees that will produce fruit. Holders can place them in the game, let them bear fruits and set a $ROOT price for other players to purchase.
Minted in February 2021 for 0.2 ETH has now a floor price above 12 ETH.
10420 homes to teleport during game and use as storage space. Holders will be able to rent it out to other players.
Minted in August 2021 for 0.12 ETH, floor price is now 0.7 ETH.
They've recently worked together with Oncyber to allow hodlers to create our own Tree Galleries.
9421 characters that'll act as a skin. These are purely cosmetic and could be used in several virtual worlds or as your Vtuber skin.
Minted in November 2021 for 0.22 ETH, floor price is now 0.34 ETH.
Treeverse is for sure one of the most anticipated "NFT games". Building an engaging game is hard. Adding functional tokenomics doesn't make it easier. But I am optimistic. And I think that, if you like MMORPGs, you'll want to follow along while they keep building.
