NiftyNoon: Why Don’t People Care About Otherside by Yuga Labs Lore?
Yuga Labs releases detailed lore for their Otherside metaverse to little market excitement (June 14, 2023)
Nifty Thought
Yuga Labs has been eager to share lore regarding Legends of the Mara and The Otherside. However, this lore, shared in the form of written text in a tweet, has clearly not been well received by the NFT market. The main point of contention seems to be the lore’s delivery mechanism: short form written text. There is no doubt that Yuga likely has highly competent lore designers that have crafted a deep and rich world for the Otherside. However, this may not be enough. As NiftyNoon has often mentioned in the past, the path to a successful game relies, not on technical success, but rich and compelling gameplay.
Take, for example, the amount of people wildly interested in the lore for Nintendo’s best seller The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Despite being a low fidelity game produced by a studio that openly admits it does not prioritize story consistency, millions of gamers are deeply invested in the lore of the Zelda franchise. Nintendo has coerced the public into caring with an engaging user experience that delivers both engaging gameplay and an interesting story. In the future, Otherside lore may be better delivered through short-form video content or even direct gameplay.
