AlterVerse: Disruption

A concept nearly 7 years in the making is about to become a Virtual Reality. The AlterVerse is a VR world and game creation platform currently in development. According to Scot Kinney, the platforms Founder and Project Lead, it is compatible with the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive but also fully playable without a VR headset. Using blockchain technology, the platform will offer Limited Edition Game Servers and Limited Edition Citizenships, a game industry first. Other blockchain driven Scarce Digital Assets will be also be available for trade in their marketplace and 3rd party markets.

Once complete, Kinney says, the AlterVerse will be populated with many interconnected worlds in a variety of themes such as Scifi, Medieval, Roman/Greco, Pirates, Vikings, and more. Players will be able to create their own worlds and games on a collaborative building platform; explore existing worlds; engage in survival adventures, raids, and competitive quests; and connect with others for social interaction. Starting with the introductory game AlterVerse: Disruption, additional worlds and games will be released in stages over the next year or so.

AlterVerse: Disruption

Traveling through a portal aboard massive Disrupter ships, the tale begins, as mankind makes its first foray into the AlterVerse. The brave pioneers face a variety of challenges to survive and protect their ships as they travel through a mysterious solar system in an alternate universe.

The first game, AlterVerse: Disruption, can be played solo or in teams (Alliances) competing for top scores with other players featuring:

Solo and Co-op Raids. Launch a solo raid on an unsuspecting ship or join an Alliance and raid other Alliances ships in a Raid Challenge. Its Capture the Flag in space!
Quest for the Keys. An intense, timed adventure, fraught with dangers to retrieve the keys and reset the ships controls to regain power from an invading force.
Social Connections. With built-in voice chat, hang out with other players on the Bridge or in Mama Bahamas Lounge in the aft sector and brag about your exploits.
AlterVerse: Disruption will soon be available on Steams Early Access. Several other worlds and games in the AlterVerse series are also nearing completion.

History
Scot Kinney was on a mission to create an online community which allowed people to:
1) socialize in awe-inspiring 3D environments from all over the world,
2) play a wide assortment of exciting games alone and in teams, and
3) create their own 3D games and environments.

So, in 2012, along with co-founder and Lead Programmer Michael Reino and several talented collaborators, they took a risk and started Dog Star VR Studios, an indie game studio in the purist sense, and they began to work on the AlterVerse project. What they lacked in budget, they made up for in effort, tenacity, and grit. After many years of trial and error, technology advancements, and intense testing, Dog Star VR Studios is now on the verge of releasing the first in a series of games on Steams Early Access.

Were developing the engine, the tools, the framework, the game mechanics, and the first games to get the platform started. Reino said.
