We are on a mission to build the world's most immersive metaverse.
After more than a year of extremely hard work, we’re so excited to publicly announce the Hyper Expansive Lifelike Interoperable eXperience, or H.E.L.I.X. for short.
HELIX is a web3 powered high-fidelity metaverse built on Unreal Engine 5 where players can own and develop on land, meet new people, play games, and earn tokens. Every item within HELIX is finite in supply and represented by an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain.
Set within Parallel City, a painstakingly detailed 1:1 scale recreation of New York City, players can freely roam around the open world and discover user-created experiences.
CORE VALUES BEHIND HELIX
- Immersive Graphics
- Verifiable Digital Assets
- Player-Controlled Economy
- Massive Scale
Read more about these core values in our documents.
INSPIRATIONS & BENCHMARKS
As avid gamers growing up, we were mesmerized by the level of detail and freedom that open-world games such as the Grand Theft Auto series provided us as players. With game engines such as Unreal Engine and procedural tools such as Houdini being much more advanced and accessible than ever before, we now have the ability to create such a vast open world even with a relatively smaller team.
OUR TEAM
We currently have team members from all around the world, across the USA to Canada to France to Morocco and more. We are actively hiring more developers and artists.
Our team has a strong technical and product background, having built and shipped numerous products to millions of users, and are working extremely hard to bring HELIX to the public as soon as we can.
WHERE WE ARE NOW
We currently have a functional alpha version of HELIX that we can play and explore around in. We’ve created a fully open-world, 1:1 scale Manhattan island within Unreal Engine using real-world street data from OpenStreetMap.
This took many painstaking months of experimenting with different workflows and tools, and we’re constantly improving and optimizing the city even more.
In addition, our artists are busy creating and populating assets throughout the city, from parked vehicles to landmark buildings down to the fictional store signs and advertisements spread throughout the streets.
WHAT’S AHEAD
We’re currently preparing for our first NFT sale which will give holders early access to HELIX and the ability to claim their own land within Parallel City. Once a player owns land, they can customize it however they like using our standalone Creator software which will be released later this year.
We are laser-focusing on optimizing Parallel City which serves as the foundation and infrastructure upon which everything else is built on top of.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
HELIX is a very ambitious, large-scale project which will undoubtedly take a lot of work to build. Thankfully we have a strong, passionate team and very supportive investors to help us get there, and hopefully many more talented people joining our team in the next coming months to join our mission in creating the world’s most immersive metaverse.
As long as we stick to our core requirements and work backwards from there, we will be able to build a truly groundbreaking product that can be enjoyed by millions of people. My team and I are extremely dedicated to bringing this vision to you no matter what it takes.
Thanks for your support, and we’ll see you on the other side!
