Wilder World

The vision behind Wilder World is to build a decentralized metaverse that transcends traditional gaming and virtual reality. With a mission to create a "Network State," the project is focused on empowering users to own and govern a digital world where creativity is the main driver of value. Wilder World seeks to merge the lines between reality and the virtual, offering users a space where they can create, trade, and interact within a protopian future, underpinned by values of responsibility, kindness, and transcendence.

One of the key inspirations for the project stems from the desire to offer a decentralized alternative to centralized gaming and virtual environments. Wilder World integrates the concepts of play-to-earn (P2E) and decentralized economies, giving users control over digital assets, governance, and participation in its development. This vision includes creating a self-sustaining virtual economy supported by AAA-quality NFTs and vast industries, built to evolve over time as user participation grows.

Ultimately, Wilder World’s creative inspiration lies in its focus on collaboration and partnerships, working with leading Web3 projects and renowned digital artists to realize its vision. The goal is to establish a space where millions of users can engage in meaningful digital experiences while contributing to a future shaped by the metaverse itself.

The Essential Role of WILD in Wilder World

Core of All Transactions: Every in-game interaction within Wilder World revolves around WILD, the lifeblood of the metaverse economy.

• Driving requires fuel purchased in WILD.
• Public transport like buses or trains also costs WILD.
• Building, purchasing goods, trading, and even social experiences are settled in WILD.
• Questing requires WILD to be earned and spent.

Gameplay-Specific Utility:

• Racing Gameplay: Earn WILD by winning races but spend it on fuel, NOS, repairs, and car parts.
• Combat Gameplay: Loot WILD during gameplay but spend it on ammo, weapons, and gear.
• Mining Gameplay: Mine WILD-backed resources but need WILD to buy mining rigs and equipment.
• Resource Refining and Building: Refining WILD-backed resources needed to build anything in Wilder World costs WILD.

Diverse Use Cases Beyond Gaming:

• Social Experiences: Museums, art galleries, concerts, educational courses, and e-commerce are all powered by WILD. A growing pipeline of Web2 and Web3 partners is eager to sell their digital and physical assets inside Wilder World.
• Virtual Real Estate: Every transaction related to land or buildings in Wiami is conducted in WILD.

Wilder World is led by a highly skilled team of creators and entrepreneurs. Frank Wilder, the Art Director, is a renowned crypto artist who has been instrumental in shaping the creative direction of the project. Other key team members include Michael Pryor, Co-Lead Procedural, who previously worked at Nike, and Marcus Reynolds, the Lead Vehicle Handler, who has a background working on popular racing games like GTR and WRC.

The broader team consists of experienced professionals from diverse industries, including gaming, architecture, and design. Notable contributors include Kadir Yilmazer, a Senior Game Artist who has worked on high-profile projects like Alan Wake 2, and Mucahit Vangolu, who has contributed to major brands such as Rolex and Netflix. The executive team is rounded out by n3o, a serial entrepreneur with experience in launching five companies, including ZERO and Wilder World.

Wilder World has also attracted significant investment and strategic partnerships. Collaborators include major Web3 entities like Animoca Brands, Illuvium, and Immutable X, which have all contributed to the development and expansion of the Wilder World ecosystem.

Wilder World launched its Alpha phase on the Epic Games Store in 2024, allowing early adopters to experience the core features of its metaverse. This release opened up the game to a broader audience without requiring access codes, making it more accessible to gamers and enthusiasts interested in exploring its innovative digital economy. While the Alpha is live, the development team continues to roll out updates and bug fixes as part of its iterative approach to enhancing gameplay.

Looking forward, the integration of NVIDIA GeForce NOW technology is expected to significantly improve accessibility, removing the need for high-end hardware, thus allowing a broader audience to participate in the metaverse experience.
