TRAVERSE: Mars is Mine — GamerHash Studio Celebrates First Release

TRAVERSE: Mars is Mine — GamerHash Studio Celebrates First Release

One year ago, the GamerHash studio team was celebrating. We were celebrating because we really couldn’t believe our luck. Having just signed a contract with our dream partner, it was time to unleash our full creativity and redefine metaverse gaming as we know it.

That partner was of course The Sandbox.

We joined The Sandbox with ambitious goals. Keeping a player-centric approach in mind at every step, we set out to create fully immersive experiences including custom assets and a gripping story that allows our team to embrace our edgy (did someone say “degen”?) side 🤪

They say reach for the stars and if you fail, you’ll land on the moon. Well, we reached for the stars…and I guess we landed on Mars!

Far more than a simple game, we’re excited to present a richly-layered, three chapter experience whose release date happens to fall exactly one year after we joined The Sandbox! 🔥

Introducing TRAVERSE: Mars is Mine!

May 11th marks a very special date in the GamerHash history. The words of Dawid ‘Skibee’ Skibiński, Metaverse Manager at GamerHash, tell the story:

“Today, we’re celebrating! Not only is it the first anniversary of our partnership with The Sandbox, we’re also using this auspicious date to launch our first-ever immersive metaverse game — TRAVERSE: Mars is Mine. Building this game has been an adventure only rivaled by the gameplay experience itself, especially as we wanted it to be a truly ground-breaking creation — something which not The Sandbox, nor any other metaverse has ever seen before. Because of that, our internal team has grown not only in size, but also knowledge and confidence as the whole process was moving forward and it goes without saying that we couldn’t be more excited to finally share our work with the community.”

Now, we’re sure you’re excited to find out what is our game actually about?

The fully immersive meta-gaming experience, TRAVERSE: Mars is Mine puts you in the shoes of Astro, a plucky astronaut whose ship crashed on Mars and needs to navigate a strange world in order to rescue his friends!

…Some very concerned friends at that! 🤣👇🏼

To get out alive, you’ll have an opportunity to participate in over 30 quests, interact with at least 50 sassy NPCs and explore some of the most intricate and original storytelling that The Sandbox has to offer!

…Not to mention discovering the amazing virtual world we’ve created:

As of today, Traverse Chapters One & Two are available for everyone to play in The Sandbox metaverse, while the release of Chapter Three will follow during Season Alpha 4.

“We’re excited — Traverse has been the product of passionate, creative vision, and it brings our brand hero to life. This is a quest like no other, with wry social commentary interlinked with highly engaging gameplay, and of course, it wouldn’t be possible without the support of the great partnership that The Sandbox has provided!” — Joanna Marks, Metaverse Business Developer at GamerHash.

A Natural Partner for GamerHash

GamerHash, the parent of GamerHash Studio, is known as one of the biggest crypto-gaming ecosystems in the world with over 700,000 players worldwide. As fellow members of the Crypto Gaming Alliance, it was natural that eventually we’d strike a partnership with The Sandbox. What’s more, seeing how in the past they have also partnered with brands like The Walking Dead, Gucci Vault and Snoop Dogg, it’s fair to say they’re definitely the coolest platform around!

When last year’s deal was announced, Sebastien Borget, Co-founder and COO of The Sandbox wrote:

“GamerHash has an active and engaged community of gamers that have found The Sandbox open metaverse to be a great playground for educating, rewarding and engaging its members through the creative capabilities offered by our no-code Game Maker. It turned its ideas into reality and brought its mascot to life, making it possible to create expandable adventures its community can engage with, in true Web3 spirit.”

Seeing this statement 365 days later, it only makes us think: he really was 100% right!

Not only does the mascot has indeed been brought to life as Traverse’s playable character Astro, but we’re also still here, providing every aspect mentioned! That’s why, this launch and Astro’s intergalactic adventures only confirm GamerHash studio’s ongoing collaboration with the Sandbox (despite the fact that our lands are highly sought-after!)

The words of our CEO are also a validation for that:

“We bought a 6x6 LAND parcel during one of the first sales in 2020, and have since been offered significantly more than we originally paid for it. However, we’re certainly not in the mood to sell! What gets us excited every morning is the possibility to create new, groundbreaking experiences that get the community buzzing and bring new people into the wonderful world of metaverse gaming. Our partnership with The Sandbox is the best way to make that happen.” Patryk Pusch, (Chief Executive Officer) GamerHash
