Slow and steady progress - definitely stay tuned for news on upcoming playtests. The initial few will be closed so we will be reaching out to various communities and tapping into our own Discord community for testers.
Petrified Delta
The second to last stop in Swamps End is an arid, seemingly dead river delta where everything has been petrified by the harsh winds and dry heat. Well perhaps not everything ...
Stranded Boggers on their way to the outpost will require your assistance and protection and perhaps in the remaining oasis you may uncover clues as to what happened to this once lush river ecosystem.

This first design pass on the region showcases the vast almost empty landscape that players must traverse in their final push to find the Bogger Outpost and their eventual journey out into new regions.
Almost everyone is ill prepared for resource farming and the new @OthersideMeta economyā¦

Meet the Starpod.
Part home, part lander, part exploration vehicle.
It is fast, nimble, and always with you. The Starpod is how you launch, travel, return, and touch down across the world.

Otherside is a next-generation token economy made up of 74 onchain resources.
The only way in and out of the Otherside economy is $APE.
Kodas and Voyagers, along with Otherdeed environments, play a central role.
Only two sub-regions left to be built in Swamps End - you know what that means...
Marketing was on vacation because we are lazy but thankfully the game artists were still hard at work. We missed the early block out phase so we are skipping straight to the first polish pass...
Humid Hallows
The next region of Swamps End is a marsh with giant vents expelling gas from The Morass, the underground Bogger city below. They want you to investigate the vents and try to find any signs of what could be causing the mysterious illness to those spending time near them.
Is this all just coincidence or is someone trying to stop the Boggers from mobilizing voyagers to help them?

Lazy Bull Club is lazy but they weren't lying. š
They announced they were coming to UnVault a little before our announcement calendar said they were supposed to.
Some of you didn't believe them, but we can confirm.
We're excited to officially welcome Lazy Bull Club as an UnVault Partner Collection. šš§
And Lazy Bull holders will receive a Phase 1 allocation for the Genesis Bugz mint. š
They may have front-run the announcement but now they get to eat first.
Welcome to UnVault, Lazy Bull Club.
Get Bit. š
PS: It's not an ETH mint, it's an ETH, Solana, Robinhood, Base, Abstract, Polygon, BinanceSC, ApeChain mint.
Weāre official partner collection for @unvault
Lazy Bulls will have an allocation for the first mint phase of their upcoming mint on $ETH
The platform is built different. Truly bringing new innovations to the NFT space. We like.
Special thanks to @ernestleedotcom & @AaronHaber for giving us this opportunity

As promised, another look at the Choking Tangle just 24 hours later. This isn't quite a complete first design pass as we are missing the grass / bushes and some of the finer detailing in the landscape but definitely taking shape.
Also an astute eye may notice that the Swamps End has gotten an upgrade to our latest OS Engine build but those are spoilers for another day....
Things are ramping up quick - I canāt wait for that first play test for folks to see all the hard work the team has been putting in as Iām certain itās going to be something special.
Choking Tangle
The next region of Swamps End that players encounter is a dangerous, spider-infested labyrinth of thorned roots and vines.
This region is such a stark contrast from the lush green Swamp and Spore Basin that it almost feels like an evil is lurking just around every twist and turn. Perhaps something or someone is leading you right into their trapā¦
Below is the initial blockout for the region but we can expect a quick turnaround on the initial design pass so turn notifications on if you want to see the progress.
Free mint with good artā¦

Update: We are so back.
Legends of the Mara Page forwards now to lotm.otherside.xyz/.
@mfigge confirmed its again under Yuga's control.
Appreciate and thanks not giving up on one of the most loyal holder base of Otherside.

gm
we didnāt control this particular lotm.gg domain
but wouldāve gladly picked up the bill to keep page live
very annoying
as of a few weeks ago
the LOTM contracts are now under yugaās control
hereās the tx showing faraway admin being revoked:
etherscan.io/tx/0x58769b7688ā¦
thanks to yuga's devops team who were able to jump in this morning to take over the domain
domain register could take 48+ hours on backend to transfer
then DNS will take a sec to propogate
will check back midweek
you can tell weāve been keeping our eye on these assets
(ex: their gucci trails are respected in otherside)
wanted to roll out with proper marketing when the time comes
have a good sunday everyone
Brian Bento retweeted
All Legends of the Mara pages got shut down, either we receive some light soon or was this a full targeted rug... I think we all were waiting patiently for long now.
It's disrespectful not to inform the holders - who have literally spent hundreds of ETH on assets you generated - to hand them over to someone else, and then to completely ignore the whole thing.
Please answer who owns now the IP and what happens with it.
To me a top tier MMO has to have a top tier city where players congregate and hang out. MMOs are as much a social experience as they are a game to play. This city has some great bones and I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like when its finished. My recommendation was an open-air style bazaar for one of the sections with vendors and craftsman.
How about a little "Then and Now"...
This was the original block out and now current day for The Morass - the main city in OtherWorld - that will end up being the equivalent of Stormwind or Undercity in WoW in terms of function. Most players will likely hang out here to peruse the auction house, dance on tables or larp with their friends - you know who you weirdos are...
Watching a whole new world you dreamed up in your head come to life has got to be one of the coolest things about building games

This is where your journey in OtherWorld begins at the beginning of Swamps End. A small party camp where Apes are living the good vibes lifestyle - well maybe not all of them...
There is this one Ape who can't seem to stop talking about the "Boggers" and this thing called The Reckoning....what a total buzzkill!

Art team is cooking fast and furious - updated look at Spore Basin just 24 hours after first layout pass. Now time to pass it onto the game designers to build out the quest lines and story for the sub-region before the final polishing. @OthersideMeta
Slowly but surely - it is inevitable...
Welcome to what will eventually be Spore Basin.
This is our first design pass on one of the first real traditional gameplay sub-regions in Swamps End.
Our team is going to start sharing more work in progress images as we inch closer to an early playtest to help players get a feel for how things go from concept to delivery.
In terms of process - our team completes an initial block-out of an area for sizing, a first design pass for layout and elevation, a second design pass where landscaping / environment props are added and then a final polishing pass once the story line and quests have been completed.
