Today's @OthersideMeta First Trip was truly a wild experience! Jumping through the swamp portal legit gave me chills and it was insane to see 4500 voyagers running around a large, immersive space. pic.twitter.com/Nl5luxaZl3

These 4,500 voyagers initially joined a blank digital lobby prior to following a giant Bored Ape via a colorful platform in the Otherside metaverse. Upon arriving in Biogenic Swamp, a location, they moved towards a centrally placed stadium to test the avatar dynamics like jumping, dancing, running and emojis.
From the stadium, they explored certain other specific areas and interacted with the environment, which had huge creatures attacking the voyagers who approached very close.
Yuga Labs, during the project’s initial testing phases, stated that Otherside was possible to be accessed exclusively by the Otherdeed owners and third-party developers. These voyagers can share their valuable feedback and important aspects like in-game building tools and software development kits.
After a short duration of the trip being live, a litepaper was released by Yuga Labs sharing a brief about the principles supporting the Otherside as well as how the project will proceed further. Though there will be a total of 3 phases, only one among them has been outlined as of now.
Today’s tech demo has ended. Thank you to all the Voyagers who participated: we'll tweet here when your credit is ready later today. If you’re already hungry for more Otherside, we’ve released a litepaper: https://t.co/XPlNEwPGCC. See 🧵for more

An 11-part storyline game mode based on a mysterious Obelisk will be featured in the first phase. The game mode will enable users to explore what to buy, craft, harvest, trade and sell in the game.
According to the litepaper, chief capabilities of the platform are largely based on the voyagers via events, playtesting opportunities and as co-developers of Otherside Development Kits.
Yuga Labs shared that community-first, authentic asset possession and interoperability form the concept behind designing the platform. Plans of including incentives and support like experience, education and leadership from associated entities are also expected.
