6,396 procedurally generated 5D 1 of 1 NFT vehicles with dynamic gameplay abilities in Wilder World.
Due to the significant number of unique vehicle models in the Wheels collection (120+), we had to find a smart solution for vehicle related character animations. Keep in mind, animations must account for numerous possibilities, such as cars positioned at various angles (including on inclined surfaces) or scenarios where exiting may occur without a stable ground surface.
To overcome this challenge, the team successfully integrated procedural animation systems, allowing singular animation code per car type. In real time, this animation system dynamically adapts the character based on the specific car being utilized and the surrounding environment. This system will save countless hours when compared to traditional game development.
The implementation of on-chain mechanisms was pivotal to ensure the accurate spawning of Wheels based on the information pulled from the blockchain. After all, everything in Wilder World is an NFT and your Wheels are no exception.
This integration required the collaboration of multiple teams, as the tech stack involved was highly intricate and built completely from scratch with the ZERO Protocol Team. The process aimed to provide a smooth experience, starting with blockchain authentication using the player's wallet credentials. Subsequently, the player can load their owned NFTs into the game, which then spawns the corresponding NFT asset into the game environment.
