Curious what the team has been up to this week?

Releasing brand new game mechanics and reward system with gamified NFTs, creating a generator for horse wearables and tweaking DeRace V2 functionalities for improved performance were a few items of the list that we have crossed off. Learn more about our achievement below ๐Ÿ˜‰

Brand new game mechanics reveal โœจ

After many discussions with well-established guilds we have finalized the brand new and even more immersive game mechanics than before.

We have upgraded DeRace gameplay by introducing a sustainable player earning concept which allows players to collect rewards via a combination of 3 actions: creating, engaging and governing.

The new model expands the Engage2Earn feature which creates opportunities for players to be rewarded for being active on the platform by completing missions and unlocking the achievements.

Extensive DeRace game mechanics available on Fandom

The upcoming in-game assets such as chests, keys, NFT horse wearables and shards will be given out as additional rewards for the active players.

๐ŸŽ Horse equipment

The NFT horse wearables are coming along nicely: we have finalized the color schemes and patterns for all the items. Our NFT horses look even more gorgeous now! ๐Ÿ˜

We have also launched a system that allows us to generate NFT horse wearables of desired colors. Teams and guilds *wink wink*

Today, Egle and Kristijonas picked the color blue to share with you, fam!

Fully equipped DeRace NFT horse

NFT horse equipment is integral to the gameplay and P2E model as it works on 2 levels: it boosts horseโ€™s performance on the racetrack and also is given out as an in-game activity reward (directly or indirectly through chests, keys and shards).

The owner of NFT chooses what to do with the equipment: he can use it to boost horse performance in the races, sell it to other players or burn it for shards to get better assets.

The release of horse wearables will bring additional thrill into the hippodromes as players will have to decide on the strategy of equipping their NFT horses. The best strategists will be the ones to succeed on the racetrack. Are you ready for it?

Chests, keys and shards ๐Ÿ—

As the game play and P2E mechanics are finished, our game design team is finally confident to move forward with our new NFTs! The team has created primary designs for chests, keys and shards. Take a look at our chests:

Primary DeRace NFT chest designs

The assets are being designed to fit perfectly into the DeRace metaverse and to resemble real life horse racing aesthetics. How do you like our chests?

Spoiler: shards will get a fun plot twist ๐Ÿฌ

๐ŸŽ DeRace V2 updates

Letโ€™s start from the fun part: this week our NFT horse wearables have reached V2! The team has lots of fun racing and breeding seamlessly ๐ŸŽฎ

Our developers are testing, proof-testing and testing it over again! We got the results of the audit from one of the firms and now, working on that as well. More on it next week!
