WELCOME TO "VIBECODE WORLD": Yuga Labs Is Launching A Major Otherside Update This Tuesday!

Welcome to Vibecode World!

Yuga Labs is set to launch its highly anticipated “Vibecode World” update tomorrow, inviting everyone to build and place vibecoded objects inside Otherside, according to Yuga Labs' Micahel Figge.

 

While we don’t know everything about tomorrow’s launch, longtime BAYC member and metaverse builder TropicalVirtual shared a walkthrough of Vibecode World late last week, giving the community an early look at what’s coming next.

This update marks a major step toward Otherside becoming a truly user built metaverse that could one day rival giants and become a “Roblox Killer.”

 

“You should be able to publish and you should be able to create,” Figge said during the BAYC’s Meet At The Clubhouse Space on January 8th. “Success looks like you don’t need to notify any of us to publish, you should be able to do that on your own. Kind of like how anyone can mint an NFT and it shows up on OpenSea. But to do that, you need a lot of work to make sure its automatic. And I think we are about to see the first signs of that this year. Everybody is building and they don’t need us to do it.”

 

As the Gazette previously reported, the idea of user generated items inside the metaverse has been in the works for some time.

Back in the summer of 2023, Improbable developers first showcased its Metaverse Markup Language (MML), a system designed to allow objects to appear inside virtual worlds using text rather than traditional code. At the time it was mostly a demonstration, but now Otherside appears to be moving closer to opening creation tools to players.

 

Tomorrow’s vibecoding update comes just two and a half months after Yuga Labs acquired the Unreal Engine based creator platform powering Otherside from Improbable, along with many of the engineers behind it, signaling a push to speed up the development of the metaverse.

 

 

The Gazette will continue to follow Vibecode World’s launch tomorrow and will let you know how you can get involved. Stay tuned for updates.
