Built as a Multi-Chain Game

Built as a multichain product DRKVRS will use the EMV-compatible blockchain and Unreal Engine 5. Available on PC through the Epic Games Store, the game employs NVIDIA DLSS technology to enhance visuals. EVM ensures fast and cost-effective in-game transactions for a seamless experience. Players can trade NFTs, stake tokens, and participate in governance within a robust blockchain ecosystem.

This foundation sets DRKVRS apart from traditional games, offering unique opportunities for engagement and monetization. DRKVRS was originally developed on the Aleph Zero ecosystem and obtained initial fundraising from the Aleph Zero Ecosystem Funding Program. It is confirmed that one of the blockchains the game will operate on will be the L2 EVM from Aleph Zero.

DRKVRS and SKY ENGINE AI Collaboration

The SKY ENGINE AI platform can analyze 3D game assets and generate variants through advanced AI methods. This includes producing 3D models, textures, and materials that can be integrated into the game development environment. By using creations from game development teams and external artists as a basis, the platform avoids copyright issues commonly associated with modern AI tools.

DRKVRS will test this platform by using its team's creations to generate multiple asset versions, providing feedback to SKY ENGINE AI. This tool is expected to optimize the video game production process, potentially benefiting the entire industry.
