LAMINA1 and Crucible Launch Pathfinders: Open Metaverse Discovery Month

Pathfinders Will Celebrate Official Unity & Unreal Game Engine Toolkit Integration

Crucible and LAMINA1 are launching Pathfinders, a month-long program that will empower builders and creators to begin exploring new open metaverse experiences, coinciding with the integration of Crucible’s Emergence SDK toolkit into the LAMINA1 blockchain.
Starting October 1st, the program will include joint quests and bounties, hands-on workshops for game developers, and sponsored competitions for community creators – with a chance to launch Spaces (playable experiences) on the LAMINA1 Hub, as well as digital assets to be used across many open metaverse games & experiences.

To participate in Pathfinders: Open Metaverse Discovery Month and stay updated on its upcoming competition, quest, and bounty initiatives, join the LAMINA1 and Open Meta Discords at https://discord.gg/lamina1& discord.gg/OpenMeta

The program marks the official integration of the Emergence SDK as the preferred SDK for LAMINA1. Using Crucible’s Emergence SDK with LAMINA1, game developers can now seamlessly connect experiences built on Unity and Unreal engines to enable features like VRM avatars, on-chain assets, and blockchain interactions, and begin testing them with its community of over 50,000 open metaverse builders.
In celebration of the new integration, Pathfinders Discovery Month will include:
  • Hands-on workshops that will let developers easily link their experiences to the LAMINA1 blockchain using the popular Unreal and Unity game engines
  • Joint bounties and quests for participating in AMAs, Creator Competitions, campaign amplification, and beyond that invite community members to earn rewards for participating in Pathfinders initiatives across the Open Meta and LAMINA1 ecosystems
  • The launch of 2 co-sponsored Creator Competitions offering developers and players a chance to begin exploring the open metaverse and have their art/experiences featured in upcoming experience launches on LAMINA1.

The first set of workshops from Open Meta and LAMINA1 will be hosted on Wednesday, October 25 (Unity) and Thursday October 26 (Unreal) on the Open Meta Discord at 4:00pm UTC. A sign-up form for the workshops with additional details for interested developers can be found here

On the tooling side of things, Emergence provides easy plug-and-play Web3 functionality so game developers can focus on creating great experiences. With integration complete, the tools are now matched with LAMINA1’s purpose-built infrastructure optimised for an open, creator-driven metaverse.
Says Ryan Gill, Founder of Crucible, “LAMINA1 has been a leader in establishing a vision for an Open Metaverse that’s open and inclusive. We’ve been hard at work building the infrastructure to make it easy for game developers to easily create web3 experiences. Now, it’s time for our communities to begin experimenting and prototyping the future.”
Aleissia Laidacker, Head of Product and Technology of Crucible, adds, “Our singular focus with Emergence is to make it easy to tap into the utility of blockchains such as LAMINA1. Now that our integration is complete, we’re excited to see what game developers create using this full suite of tools.”

Gordon Mattey, Chief Product Officer of LAMINA1 says: “Crucible and LAMINA1 are leaders in their fields when it comes to developing the tools and infrastructure for the Open Metaverse: Emergence is a toolkit for game developers that lets them easily integrate Web3 features, including VRM avatars, on-chain inventory, and read/write to the L1 blockchain, while LAMINA1 is building the core infrastructure to allow for an equitable and open metaverse that empowers communities, developers, and creators.”
