Japanese developer MyDearest has revealed its new VR project called Project: Gathering, hoping to stop the metaverse form just being an empty buzzword.
Project Gathering is about what the gaming community wants to see in a game and what they want to play. This is where the developer MyDearest invites gamers to come and decide what they want to see made. Players will participate in the event will gain access to the chosen game’s closed beta test.
A little background information on Mydearest, they have previously worked on titles such as Tokyo Chronos, ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos and its newest upcoming title Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate making Project: Gathering its first multiplayer endeavour. This new VR project is their biggest project yet, which involves the community in every step of planning.
The three game modes to choose from are:
- Code: Camp – an open world fantasy game
- Code: Gauntlet – an action MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena)
- Code: Bell – a 4vs1 survival game
Alberto Moreno, Head of International Promotion at MyDearest had this to say,
This is our biggest project until now. We’ve been recruiting the best talent in Japan to make this game and to prove that you don’t have to be the biggest company to make the best games.
We’re not only making a game for the gaming community, we want to make a game for the gaming community with the gaming community. We want people to come to our Discord server and tell us what they want so we can make it. It’s going to be the first game in the industry where the interaction with the community starts from the very concept of the game.
The developer also shared three concept trailers for the three different VR multiplayer games.
If you are interested in participating in Project: Gathering, you can head over the MyDearst’s official Discord Server. Everyone who shares their thoughts on the server will be entered into the project’s preseng campaign. There are also rewards which will be increased based on the number of people who join the server to participate.
