BUILD, DISCOVER, INVITE AND PLAY

The Portals editor in the browser is used to create this area. After purchasing a Portals NFT, you can conduct events for 30 to 150 people online within a few hours.

NO DEVS REQUIRED ANYONE CAN CONSTRUCT. THE BROWSER.

Its expansive metaverse may be browsed on browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge without the need to download any apps or extensions, the game itself has resemblance to the popular simulation computer game “The Sims,” which contains many recognisable characteristics. Residents can completely and easily personalize their homes, stores, and other properties they own with the help of portals.

The Gameplay

When exploring the metaverse’s central business district, you can purchase a plot of land (and build on it), rent a pod (without needing to own the land), and have some creative freedom when it comes to furnishing it (though not as much as creating your own from scratch). In essence, it’s the distinction between constructing your own home and renting an apartment.

According to one of the co-founders, Adam Gomez, “Animal Crossing meets Roblox and SimCity” in terms of how Portals is intended to be played.

Consider it not only as an NFT, but also as “metaverse-software-as-a-service,” as this metaverse is much more than just a game or a communal area for users. You can use it both for and with other people in addition to yourself. Review software and SaaS costs for conducting business digitally with 30+ individuals. Businesses spend a lot.

Citizen Cards and Pods:

Don’t worry if you can’t afford the land parcels represented by the cards above. Citizen Cards still allow you to have your own pad. Additionally, these cards get you entry to the Downtown area and grant you ownership of a Pod that you can personalize with objects of your choosing. Similar to the land plots, your pad has voice and text chat, so you can invite your pals over. The best part is that as long as you have your own NFT, your buddies don’t need to have any. Similar to a membership, being a Citizen places you in the priority line for specific events or even Citizens-only events.
