Screw the Metaverse! Japanese Developer MyDearest Announces Next VR Project with Project: Gathering
Japanese Developer MyDearest invites its community to choose its next VR game
Tokyo, Japan / April 26th, 2022 - Screw the Metaverse. Japanese game developer MyDearest hopes to stop “metaverse” from being just an empty buzzword. How about real content? In order to do just that, the team has just announced its latest venture, Project: Gathering. The team has released three concept trailers for three different VR multiplayer games and MyDearest invites the gaming community to decide what game they want to see made. Players that participate in the event will gain access to the chosen game’s Closed Beta Test.
MyDearest have previously worked on titles: Tokyo Chronos, ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos and its newest upcoming title Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate making Project: Gathering its first multiplayer endeavour. Project: Gathering is its biggest project yet and they plan to involve the community in every step of the planning process.
The three games to choose from are:
- Code: Camp - an open world fantasy game
- Code: Gauntlet - an action MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena)
- Code: Bell - a 4vs1 survival game
“This is our biggest project until now,” states Alberto Moreno, Head of International Promotion at MyDearest, “We’ve been recruiting the best talent in Japan to make this game and to prove that you don't have to be the biggest company to make the best games.”
In order to participate in Project: Gathering players can head over to MyDearest’s official Discord Server. Anyone who shares their thoughts on the server will be entered into the project's “present campaign.” Rewards for the campaign will increase based on the number of people who join the server to participate. Rewards include: a Steam Gift card, a Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset, a Razer Tactical Pro 17.3 Backpack V2, a Meta Quest 2 and a Secretlab Titan Evo 2022.
"We’re not only making a game for the gaming community, we want to make a game for the gaming community with the gaming community. We want people to come to our Discord server and tell us what they want so we can make it. It’s going to be the first game in the industry where the interaction with the community starts from the very concept of the game.” - Alberto Moreno
Players that want to join in on the fun can head over to the MyDearest Discord server right now. Make your thoughts heard and you might even find yourself being recruited as MyDearest plans to use Project: Gathering as a way to find new talent around the world. Artists, programmers, streamers and anyone who participates in the project will be considered.
