Emergence has announced the launch of the New Worlds Initiative, a program designed to support the first 100 World Producers in the Open Metaverse. Leveraging the $ometa token and Emergence's infrastructure, the initiative aims to develop a collaborative, interconnected "playable cinematic universe" of worlds. Participants will gain access to a range of tools, including the Emergence SDK and Marketplace, to help bring their creative visions to life.

Tools for Creators

The New Worlds Initiative offers a comprehensive suite of resources to empower web3 gaming creators. Through the program, artists and developers can shape new worlds while retaining intellectual property rights and benefiting from a cross-platform, interoperable economy.

The $ometa token will serve as a shared currency across all participating worlds, and some initiative members will be eligible for grants to accelerate their projects. Emergence also introduced the first members of the New Worlds Initiative, highlighting the diversity of projects it aims to support:

1. Bunshin Industries: A futuristic Tokyo-inspired world, Bunshin Industries provides players with tools for generating photorealistic user-generated content (UGC) and creating on-chain assets using the Emergence SDK. Ryan Gill, CEO of Emergence, described Bunshin as exemplifying the vision of a World Producer and expressed enthusiasm about its inclusion in the initiative.
2. Kor: Kor focuses on the on-chain tracking and management of intellectual property (IP) while integrating seamlessly with the Emergence SDK.
3. ON1 Force: A community-driven project, ON1 Force brings together artists to develop a decentralized anime universe.
4. Basejump + ACTION: Combining AI-powered social gaming with asset monetization, this platform enables players to earn, buy, and mint game-related assets.

By providing tools, tokenized support, and a framework for interoperability, the initiative aspires to shape a thriving Open Metaverse where creativity and ownership coexist.

Ryan Gill emphasized that the initiative is part of Emergence's larger vision to "collaboratively shape new worlds and economies." By nurturing the first wave of World Producers, the New Worlds Initiative lays the groundwork for an innovative and interconnected metaverse experience.
