Today we announce a new direction for this phase of Noreva Studios: Raízes, a civic game-platform where every player creates and raises an avatar born as a baby — and what makes it grow isn't screen time, it's real volunteer work in the community.
Volunteer hours — cleaning paths, supporting local festivals, helping elders, preserving heritage — are validated by parish councils and converted into Sementes (Seeds), the game's merit currency. With them, the avatar has birthdays, learns crafts and earns the tools of its growth. Character is built through decisions and challenges inside the game — village dilemmas with no right answer, only the person your avatar is becoming.
The sacred rule of Raízes is simple: you can buy clothes, you can't buy character. Seeds are never for sale, and the last third of every personality trait can only be earned in real life.
What about Project Ota? It remains on the horizon. Raízes is the first step that builds the community, the municipal partnerships and the model that will make Ota's 3D world possible — and the avatar you raise in Raízes will one day be your character in the Noreva worlds.
The prototype is in development and the pilot will start with a single parish council. If you represent one and want your parish to be first, reach out through our partnerships page.
