On February 19th, Ultiverse, an AI-driven Web3 game creation and publishing platform invested by Binance Labs, announced the launch of Ulti-Pilot. Ulti-Pilot allows users to obtain points, SOUL, and other in-game assets of the Ultiverse ecosystem at zero cost.

According to information revealed by the team, users who obtain SOUL in Ulti-Pilot will later be able to exchange them for $ULTC, the governance token of Ultiverse, at a ratio of 100:1. On February 26th, the Ultiverse team announced that the airdrop reward on Ulti-Pilot has been increased from 3 billion SOUL to 10 billion SOUL, meaning that 100 million $ULTC will be distributed to users of Ulti-Pilot.

The heat of the chain game track is gradually rising. Is Ultiverse a project worth paying attention to? What can be observed is that the floor price of the Genesis NFT Electric Sheep under Ultiverse has risen from 0.66ETH to 2.165ETH. In the BIG BANG competition announced by Blast the day before yesterday, BAC Game, a chain game that was once promoted by Ultiverse, was selected as one of the 47 winners out of more than 3,000 projects. At the time of writing, Ultiverse's Discord community has 320,000 members.

How to experience the AI x Metaverse created by Ulti-Pilot and earn points and SOUL? What other ways are there to earn more $ULTC? How has the Ultiverse developed after nearly two years of construction? BlockBeats author experienced the interaction process of Ulti-Pilot and interviewed early Ultiverse community players.

Ulti-Pilot: Create Your Own Virtual World

0 Cost Acquisition of SOUL and Pilot Points

Ulti-Pilot's positioning is to provide users with an immersive experience of diverse gaming in Ultiverse. Ulti-Pilot enhances players' gaming experience by creating randomness in games through AI. With the power of AI, users can gradually shape their virtual world and ultimately collaborate with Ultiverse to create immersive experiences similar to those in movie masterpieces such as "Ready Player One," "The Matrix," and "Westworld."

Since last week, joining Ulti-Pilot and completing tasks can earn you SOUL rewards and Pilot points (points used to increase the probability of obtaining SOUL). Currently, an invitation code is required to experience Ulti-Pilot, and there are two types of invitation codes, including Pilot Code and Invite code. The difference is that registering with Pilot Code can generate 5 Invite codes, while registering with Invite code can only generate invitation codes after the first week (February 26th) of being online on Ulti-Pilot.

According to the team, the invitation code for Invite code will be opened today (February 26) (not yet opened at the time of writing), and the situation of "difficult to obtain a code" will be greatly improved. The number of invitation codes that each account can obtain is divided into 4 levels according to Pilot points, which can obtain 5, 10, 20, and unlimited invitation codes respectively. Inviting others will receive Pilot points rewards, and can obtain 16% Pilot points owned by the first-level inviter and 8% Pilot points owned by the second-level inviter. BlockBeats provides five Invite codes here: gQ3DY, 2z5Y6, aXgxd, c0jgO, 2tppk.

Enter the official website https://pilot.ultiverse.io/, and bind your Twitter and wallet after entering the invitation code. Please note that if you have completed other tasks for Ultiverse before this, the account binding must be consistent with the previous registration account's Twitter, wallet, and Discord binding, otherwise it cannot be bound.

In Ulti-Pilot, creating a character requires taking the "Finding Your Path" personality test. The test consists of four questions: "Sensitive/Free/Curious", "Practical/Socialite/Independent", "Responsible/Open-minded/Funny", and "Down-to-earth/Skeptical/Selfless". After completing the test, the game will suggest suitable characters based on the selected answers, including government and corporate factions.

After completing the test, click CONFIRM to mint the player role. During this process, you need to spend OPBNB as gas fee, which costs less than 0.1 USD.

After creating a game character, you can explore Ulti-Pilot. Ulti-Pilot aims to provide users with the experience of creating a virtual world together with AI in Ultiverse, so the interactions available revolve around "exploration".

Click "Explore" to view all scenes in the world. Players can send agents to explore different scenes every day to earn rewards and unlock achievements. Currently, there are 5 worlds available for exploration: Terminus, Moonlight, Metamerge, Billiards, and BAC.

During exploration, players can choose to explore a single world or multiple worlds simultaneously. In addition to freely exploring the main world of Teminus, players need to pay a certain amount of SOUL to interact on-chain in various game worlds. The exploration task resets every 24 hours. After completing the exploration, Pilot points and SOUL rewards will be automatically distributed to the player's account, and players can use the obtained SOUL rewards to explore again. The channels for players to obtain SOUL include completing daily "Missions" in the Ulti-Pilot game, as well as completing tasks on the Ultiverse Mission Platform and staking Electric Sheep, among other methods.

It should be noted that the amount of SOUL that can be obtained from each exploration is random, and it is possible to gain nothing after spending SOUL on exploration. Therefore, there are two ways to participate in this situation. One is to choose to complete the MISSION every day to obtain SOUL, and then only participate in exploration tasks that do not require SOUL to obtain points, so as not to lose SOUL. The other is to use all SOUL for exploration tasks, increase points, and increase the probability of obtaining SOUL later. From player feedback, the probability of obtaining SOUL varies greatly, and it is related to the number of points, whether or not they have Electric Sheep, etc.

Ulti-Pilot's Worldview

After a series of operations, except for knowing how to earn Pilot points and SOUL, non-Early Ultiverse players may still be a bit confused. After all, they have not seen common game combat mechanisms such as PvP, and do not know how to profit in the game. So, what are the design concepts of Ulti-Pilot's game design?

Ulti-Pilot currently resembles a gaming portal that allows users to experience the imaginative space created by the collision of AIx, Metaverse, and Web3, serving as a foundation for the development of Ultiverse.

From the initial character creation phase, it can be felt that Ulti-Pilot hopes to shape a unique personalized AI agent through the user's "self-discovery" process, allowing users to explore a microcosm world tailored to their own personality in the game (i.e. the dApp launched in the Ultiverse ecosystem).

After entering the game, the first thing you will do is read Ulti-Pilot's "World Story" to learn about the history and worldview of Ultiverse. Since its launch, "World Story" has been updated daily. While the overall storyline develops, each user's independent exploration journey will also generate a diary, which includes important events, encountered characters, and obtained items. Users will be able to create their own virtual world by integrating various elements such as text, images, videos, AI NPCs, and AI-generated maps through Ulti-Pilot.

You can view global and personal stories in Dairy.

In addition, each user has a role, and the system randomly selects at least three users to participate in "World Story" every day, allowing them to immerse themselves in the historical worldview development of Ultiverse and have the opportunity to win SOUL rewards.

Through the symbiotic relationship between artificial intelligence and users, each microcosm has developed its unique worldview while maintaining a crucial connection to the overall storyline of Ultiverse. This comprehensive approach, driven by AI and community-based narrative, enhances interoperability between microcosms.

According to the team, the diary function is just the first step in realizing the autonomous world. After Ultiverse, the plan is to launch a virtual world driven by artificial intelligence that is tailored to the worldview of each microcosm and allows users to interact with NPCs.

Layout for two years, Ultiverse wants to be the first MetaFi

In Ulti-Pilot, users can earn achievements that include not only SOUL and Pilot points, but also asset items from other games in the Ultiverse ecosystem. What are these assets used for? While the team has not yet released specific information, it can be understood from the Ultiverse ecosystem map.

It is reported that the core members of the Ultiverse team have participated in the development of famous games such as "The Elder Scrolls", "Prince of Persia", and "Assassin's Creed". In 2022, Ultiverse received a seed round financing of $4.5 million led by Binance Labs and Defiance Capital, with participation from Three Arrows Capital and SkyVision Capital. Later, Ultiverse received an additional $5 million equity investment from Binance Labs.

Early members of the Ultiverse community, including a player from the Metaverse, have expressed to BlockBeats that "I have been following Ultiverse since I added equity investment from Binance, and at that time participated in the mint of the Genesis NFT Electric Sheep." Over the past two years, Ultiverse has been very pragmatic in its layout. On the one hand, Ultiverse has expanded its game partnerships based on its mission platform, Mission Runner (holders of Electric Sheep can enjoy airdrop incentives from Ultiverse partners). Metaverse players have gained a deep understanding and experience of Meta Merge, a pet chain game that combines AIGC technology, through Ultiverse.
