PIXEL STREAMING: IMPROBABLE

Coming off of the success of the Otherdeed mint and the First Trip, there was a lot of anticipation for Otherside's development. Yuga followed up with a bigger, more ambitious public demo titled 2nd Trip. We not only aimed for larger concurrency, deeper gameplay, but also richer world and storytelling. It was also the first time Voyagers get a detailed view of Otherside's in-engine look and feel.

Playtest Captures

To foreshadow the event, we put out a cinematic teaser showcasing the game's fully developed stylized art direction in the form of Bone deed. The teaser also hinted at a mysterious vessel that Blue and Curtis found there. This teaser left the community speculating on what was about to come.

Live Event

7000+ Voyagers from around the world joined in on the trip, divided into 4 teams competiting for the prize of a Winged Helmet, a one-time NFT token that grants holders a cosmetic upgrade in the future Otherside meta.
