On August 10, we successfully launched Metafluence v1.0.0 (Alpha Testing). As we advance further, other versions will be gradually released based on collected feedback. It was the first time our community members, influencers, and core team members gathered all around and had a great time altogether in Metafluence City.
Best of all, we had a fantastic chance to engage with innovators, industry experts, investors, and metaverse evangelists one by one, asking their opinions about their experiences and discussing the Alpha Version with our 3D avatars.
After collecting all those impressions & valuable feedback about Alpha Testing, we decided to bring those experiences to you to understand the testing process better. So, are you ready to dive in? Let’s kick it off.
Group Socialization
The most notable and spectacular feature of Alpha Testing is undoubtedly group socialization and intensive communication. Our community members, influencers, and internal team met “virtually,” chatted, visited Metahuts, and explored Metafluence City together.
Visitors had a great time visiting NFT, Shopping, and Event rooms, which, by the way, all come in the form of NFTs. This means that when one purchases the Metahut, they get 3 NFTs of each respective room, and altogether they resemble one Metahut.
That’s exactly what Metafluence’s fundamental mission is – to engage and communicate in an influencer-driven social metaverse. With more features coming soon in the subsequent releases, we believe Metafluence will be a one-stop platform for influencers, brands, and their audiences to communicate and engage in a transparent and incentivized manner!
Avatar-to-avatar communication with team members
Don’t be surprised if you often come across our team members in glamorous & striking Metahuts in Metafluence City. As a team, we also actively participate in the Testing phase with our 3D avatars and test Metafluence v1.0.0 with our influencers.
Influencers welcomed the opportunity to directly communicate with the people behind the project and ask them questions in person. Conversations were also held about $METO, its staking model, virtual residences, land plots and the Metaverse in general. It’s not a one-time exception; we plan to have a regular presence in Metafluence City and have already scheduled to conduct AMA sessions there!
Hear out how our community member, Arif Ozer Ozsan, describes his Metafluence Alpha experience in his own words:
“Metafluence is one of the best Metaverse projects that enable you to do networking, NFT Trading, eCommerce, creating events, and more. I spent around 4 hours in Metafluence Alpha and liked the visuals, functions, and overall atmosphere so much. As this is Alpha Version, I have faced some little errors, but they all can be fixed quickly. I believe Metafluence City will be a new addiction to most people who love Metaverse, NFT, and social networking.”
Some of our influencer Metahut owners, including Altcoin Rookie, Janice Hung, Radu-Florin Chirila, Abilbek Narembayev, Mahmut Erdal, Darryl Boo, and Nora Gouma, accompanied us through this immersive journey and provided us with their valuable feedback based upon their straightforward observations. You can see our entire influencers & first Metahut owners’ list here.
Mahmut Erdal had also invited his friends to join the Alpha Testing, and together they spent entertaining hours wandering inside Metahuts.
Multiple Avatars , One Game
While walking around Metafluence City, you can create multiple avatars and change them whenever you want. So, just like in real life, you can change your clothes, hairstyle, etc., and get more colorful & personalized experiences.
This was one of the features our participants appreciated the most during Alpha Testing; they often changed their clothes during the process and took selfies in their new outfits.
Encounter Your Fellow Countrymen Speaking Your Native Language
Just remember, how do we feel when we see someone speaking our native language when we are abroad? In Metafluence City, you’ll encounter this kind of situation quite often; you’ll be walking around the city when you hear someone speaking in your native language or any other language you understand. This will help you start a conversation with strangers.
For example, here’s a brief but insightful conversation between Metafluence CEO Emin Vali and Wushu champion, model & actress Janice Hung about expanding Metafluence City’s capabilities on health & sports issues:
Text Chat Was Used Commonly
Text chat was another feature that our testers were quite pleased with. When someone didn’t want to talk or had voice-connecting problems for whatever reason, they could exchange ideas via live chat. During Alpha Testing, quite a few participants used the text chat feature and continued the communication where they left off.
“Visual Feast” For The Eyes: Cool & Fancy Effects
Until the testing process, people might have had a legitimate hesitation: are the visual effects really as shown in the promotional materials?
Metafluence v1.0.0 put an end to all these doubts, as all participants were amazed at the magnificence and eye-catching visual effects. All 3D effects and visuals were designed in a life-like and high-quality manner, as shown in the promotions.
“Early Movers Catch The Badge”: First 100 Movers
The First 100 Movers Badge was a topic that many people were interested in and asked us questions about frequently. During Alpha Testing, we found the opportunity to have valuable and productive conversations about this with our community members.
For the record, we have launched a First Movers Badge Feedback competition in this regard; you can join our Private First Movers Telegram Group and learn the details now.
Gender Balance
While walking in Metahuts, it is possible to see avatars of different genders’ representatives. We tried to maintain gender balance, which added an even more colorful experience to Metafluence Alpha.
Our large community is made up of people with different backgrounds, genders, races, and nationalities. We’re very sensitive about that and do everything we can to prevent any sort of discrimination in Metafluence City.
Voice Chat
Want to say “hello” to someone? Just activate voice chat and start real communication within the virtual world. It’s pretty easy.
The voice chat feature, along with the text chat feature, was one of the key aspects that made Metafluence Alpha Testing more realistic and easy to interact, so unsurprisingly, it was highly appreciated by the participants.
Obviously, the feature also facilitated smooth communication between the team members and other participants, allowing them to exchange thoughts and ideas and share valuable insights.
Realistic Avatars
We cannot imagine a metaverse experience without avatars. The gorgeous and life-like 3D avatars created through the Ready Player Me platform were an invaluable part of the Metafluence Alpha experience.
We had quite a few Alpha Testing participants changing their current life-like avatars to something big, funny, and colorful. Thus, avatars have conquered a special place in testers’ hearts, and they’re looking forward to coming up with more entertaining and creative avatars!
Screenshoting And Taking Videos & Selfies
You might be thinking, “Spending quality time in the Metaverse was super-amazing, but how can I demonstrate it to my friends?” No need to worry because you can share this unique experience with others.
It’s totally up to you; take screenshots or selfies, make video recordings and then show off these fancy visuals to your friends & followers. This worked pretty well; throughout Alpha Testing, our participants took many selfies and screenshots and shared them on their social media accounts.
Sounds Fun? It’s Never Too Late To Join The Party
These were only “sneak peeks” of the big show. You know that old saying, “action speaks louder than words,” so you need to experiment with it with your own eyes.
