KOMPETE Early Access Build v0.38

More About KOMPETE?

KOMPETE, developed on Unreal Engine 5 by Modernize Games, offers a free-to-play, cross-platform multiplayer experience with game modes like Blitz Royale, Kart Race, and Social Deduction. The game supports cross-progression and features a diverse economy allowing players to trade cosmetic items through platforms like the Bazaar Marketplace.

Monetization and Game Economy

In line with its commitment to fair monetization, KOMPETE focuses on NFT trading for cosmetic items rather than direct cryptocurrency earnings, ensuring a balanced in-game economy. Players can earn rewards through XP, Chapter Tickets, and Fame levels, enhancing their gameplay experience without impacting competitive balance.

Cosmetic items in KOMPETE are available in the Limited-Time Shop and Divine Shop, where players can purchase rare items using Ethereum and in-game currencies like $VOOLAH. The Bazaar Marketplace allows players to buy, sell, and trade cosmetics using the $KOMPETE token.

What's New in KOMPETE v0.38

The v0.38 build of KOMPETE brings substantial updates to gameplay mechanics and visuals. Players will now experience a revamped initial flow, necessitating the creation of a player build before diving into matches. This new player-build progression system is designed to deepen player engagement right from the start.

Graphical Improvements

Graphical improvements are also a highlight, with enhanced menu icons and integrated GPU settings aimed at optimizing performance across PC and mobile platforms. Audio adjustments include a refined master audio level for better in-game balance, contributing to overall performance and stability improvements.

Character and Gameplay Updates

Character animations and visuals receive a significant boost in v0.38, featuring new poses, improved eye materials, and additional customization options such as modular eyebrows and eyebrow color settings linked to facial hair.
