Howdy DeRacers!🤠

Another Friday means another Friday Development Update. And this week we have something REALLY AMAZING to share will you, visuals included 🤩

Let’s see what our game developers have been working on this week!

DeRace native NFT horse shop

Our back-end and smart contract developers have finished all the work with our native NFT horse shop! We are ready for our NFT horse drop next week!

Horse ticket exchange

Good news for horse ticket holders! We are finishing up our horse ticket exchange! Everyone who purchased a horse ticket on Binance NFT, NFTrade or secondary market will be able to exchange it for in-game NFT horses! The exchange system is almost done and we are aiming to launch it live next week.

In-game environment

The planning and sketching phase is finally over! We crafted our race logic, mechanics, algorithms and have been working hard on a visual part for the last few weeks!

First, we will introduce you to a NFT horse explorer that you will be able to see next week in our NFT horse explorer and on the platform in the future!

And for those who are super tech-savvy here is the whole process of building a hippodrome environment for scratch:

So far, our development process has gone smoothly as we overcame the most challenging part: NFT horses. You will get more visual materials from us in the very near future, so stay tuned!
