In Reality Rift, movement is magic, and now it pays off.
Our team has completed the first interactive AR loop. Players can now collect floating coins in the real world using their smartphone camera and exchange them for an in-game sword.
This feature is live in our Android tech demo and represents a foundational step for our gameplay system. It’s simple, intuitive, and satisfying: walk, find coins, tap to collect, then trade them for your first piece of gear.
Why this matters
The coin to sword system is more than a test. It’s a proof of concept for how augmented reality can connect real-world exploration to meaningful game progression. No menus. No guesswork. Just movement and reward.
This is the first time we are closing a full gameplay loop in AR:
- Search with your camera
- Collect coins in real locations
- Unlock equipment in the app
- See the reward appear instantly
And yes, that sword? You’ll need it soon.
