In Brief:
- Otherside (official site) is building an interconnected economy that ties 74 resources together across 100,000 Otherdeeds, the project’s NFT land plots.
- The plan is to deepen player engagement by wiring land ownership directly into a wider resource system.
- Development diaries and community sessions are promised in upcoming updates, though no launch date has been given.
Otherside unveils new economy
Attention at Otherside is turning toward the wider economic framework it has in the works — one built to connect 74 resources across its 100,000 Otherdeeds. Those NFT land plots sit at the heart of the virtual world, and the incoming system will shape what players hold, harvest, construct, and exchange.
Work is currently spread across 3D design, game mechanics, and smart-contract systems. What remains unanswered is how resources will be distributed or what each one actually does. The studio wants to improve the experience for Otherdeed and Koda holders alike, while still pulling in newcomers who own nothing at all.
Yuga Labs recently picked up the Unreal Engine platform from Improbable, along with a perpetual license covering its multiplayer technology. Owning that infrastructure outright puts the company firmly in control of the foundation Otherside runs on, and signals a serious commitment to long-term development.
Coming updates are set to bring development diaries, concept artwork, and channels for community feedback. The same announcement looked back on Otherside's first year, pointing to community events, creator tools, and token-gated experiences. “Our focus is on making ownership matter in a way that enhances everyone’s experience,” a team spokesperson said.
