Web3 gaming studio Faraway has announced the first major launch of their very own UGC system, introducing support for user-created skins in Mini Royale: Nations, a blockchain FPS and land strategy game.

Players now have the option to purchase user-generated skins for Season 4 Premium heroes, which means that, at the time of writing, the heroes that currently have support for custom skins include the following: Akuma, Batto, Daichi, Frozen Warrior, Hibagon, Holy Emperor, Kitsune, Kuma San, Mei, MekaShogun, Sakura, Shadow Ronin, Tokyo Rebel, Usagi, and Yugi.

To find a new skin for the hero you own, simply head to the Inventory and click on your hero to get a list of available UGC skins that you can buy directly in-game by paying in $SOL using a wallet you connect. You can even send this purchased skin to a friend if you want to, but of course, they’ll only be able to use if they have the base character the skin is designed for. Heroes can still be staked in Clan Wars even with a user-created skin equipped, but the skin alone cannot be staked.

Should you ever decide you don’t want to use the skin you bought anymore, you have the option to sell it on the Magic Eden marketplace as part of the Faraway Creator Collection. If you buy a skin for a hero you don’t own, the skin will of course be present in your wallet, but you won’t be able to see it in your in-game inventory until you have the base character for it.

The developers revealed that they plan to launch the Faraway Shop this summer where creators will be able to set up their storefronts and sell their own skins. They also teased that some launch partners with “familiar IP” might be a part of this upcoming browser-based release.

In the meantime, those who are interested in submitting their own skins to sell can do so through the Faraway Creator Program, for which you can find the link to in the second tweet of the Twitter thread down below.

Earlier this earlier, the team launched the Faraway Map Creator Program that gave way for the community to submit their own maps for Mini Royale: Nations. This release was then followed by a partnership with Ready Player Me, enabling support for custom avatars.
