UMA Avatars in VulcanVerse: Enhanced Customization at Your Fingertips
Today, Wednesday, August 14th 2024, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of VulcanVerse as we introduce the Unity Multipurpose Avatar (UMA) system. This isn’t just another update—this is a game-changer for how you express yourself in our ever-expanding metaverse.
So, what’s the big deal about UMA avatars?
We’re unlocking a world of customization that goes far beyond what you’ve experienced so far. UMA is going to let you mold and shape your avatar with a level of detail and creativity that truly represents you, the player. As you gear up for a battle in VulcanVerse your look, feel, and style are about to get a massive upgrade – and this opens up many future opportunities as you look to explore the unknown in Tartarus, or gear up for combat in Vulcan Royale..
Here’s what’s on the table:
- A Unified Experience Across Games: UMA is all about breaking down barriers. In future, your avatar’s appearance will carry across some of our titles—VulcanVerse, Tartarus, and Vulcan Royale – as we build to integrate the latter two games with VulcanVerse. This is the start of something much bigger, where the boundaries between games blur, and your character becomes a true resident of the Vulcan Forged universe. Expect cross-game mechanics and more in the future!
- Prepare for Future Awesomeness: UMA sets the stage for what’s next. We’re talking about seamless updates, faster rollouts of new features, and a consistent experience no matter where you play. We’ve got some big plans for cosmetics, new game mechanics, and even tighter integration between our games—all made possible by this switch to UMA.
- Express Yourself Like Never Before: We know how important it is to stand out in the crowd. With UMA, you’re not just another player—you’re an individual with your own unique style. And now, you’ll have the tools to prove it. From outfits to NFT clothing, to those little touches that make your avatar you, UMA gives you the freedom to be as creative as you want. Yes, we even have many more facial hair options, something that people asked for regularly with the old system.
What do UMA avatars mean for you, the player?
Starting today, as you step into VulcanVerse following the update, you’ll be doing so with an avatar that’s more customizable, more dynamic, and just waiting to represent who you are. And as we roll out more features, those customizations will follow you wherever you go in our universe, from the icy peaks of Boreas to the dark depths of Hades.
So be ready—UMA is here, and it’s going to change how you see yourself in VulcanVerse and beyond. Whether you consider a battle-hardened warrior, a mystical sage, a record keeper(!) or anything in between, UMA will make your avatar truly your own.
Please bear in mind that this is our first build featuring this new avatar system and so there may be some small issues related to animation, but we’ll be refining it from here – the UMA system will improve in-game performance and will also correct the old synchronization issues between the avatar and clothes. The perfect foundation for us to build upon.
Remember, you can customize your avatar as you login to VulcanVerse. We can’t wait for you to dive in and start exploring the new possibilities. See you in the ‘Verse—where your story just got a whole lot more personal.
