Just in case you missed our most recent Ask Me Anything featuring RCM Labs CEO S. Binici Kaya and Creative Director Matthew Grau, here are a few of the highlights.
Recent ProgressĀ
Our Meerkat Bag NFTs are going fast! As a reminder, these special NFTs can only be EARNED through involvement in our community. And hereās the best part - you can use your Meerkat Bag NFT to create an in-game character called a Genius, which will have the potential to earn royalties within the game. Itās a free NFT with unlimited earning potential. If you havenāt secured yours yet, now is the time. We just had our sixth cohort minting! The collection is limited to 888 Meerkat Bag NFTs and they are going fast. Join our Discord to start earning yours today!
Thus far, weāve created over 160 game characters! Players will have so many options to enjoy the game and create unique experiences.Ā
Community First
Binici and Matthew both pointed out the importance of the growing RedCat Multiverse online community. We are sincerely a community-first project and much of our progress is directly driven by the strength of our community. We are independent game developers, which means that we must have the support of our active community in order to make this vision come to life.Ā
āOur community has been extremely helpful,ā added Binici. āWe are looking for our community members to share what they find that is special about the Play, Learn and Earn (PLE) model. You know, we need to, we need to articulate this to the world. It's as our community member Robyn said in her blog post, this is something that is unheard of.ā
āWe're independent game developers,ā said Matthew. āSo that means that we are doing this all under our own steam. We have to reach certain community milestones so that we can really push this thing forward with confidence. So we have a schedule in terms of milestones, but the timing of it really depends on the strength of our community for us.ā
NFT Collections
Binici walked us through RedCat Multiverse's upcoming NFT Collection. We will have three collections diligently designed by very talented artists. The upcoming Inception NFT collection features some very special benefits. Each NFT will multiply to become seven NFTs within the game (or may be higher if you are an early bird) and they will also have additional tools to provide you with everything you need to play the game. Inception NFT holders will have access to begin playing the game during our Closed Beta.
āInception NFTs come with a very generous package basically,ā said Binici. āWe will have an Accretion collection which is going to be a mystery box. Then we will have a Conception collection that is going to be a surprise that we are still finalizing. And we are going to attach that to limited artificial intelligence mechanisms.ā
Creating Geniuses
RedCat Multiverse has received about 40 Genius submissions from our hypersocial community members who based their submissions on the Meerkat Bag NFTs they received. Matthew spent some time sharing what elements make for a good Genius submission.Ā
āWhat makes a good genius is that it's not exactly what you would expect,ā said Matthew. āItās got to have a little bit of a personal, interesting twist on it. Characters that are too normal may not necessarily fit well within our campaigns because our multiverse is widely varied. So having something that is unusual is definitely good. We want something that's gonna make us go, āOh, interesting!āāĀ
Game ConceptĀ
In the RedCat Multiverse, as you are mastering valuable skills that are really highly sought after in real life, you will also be earning as you learn with the RCMāsĀ Play, Learn and Earn model. So the intrinsic motivation will be together with the extrinsic motivation.Ā
Matthew shared, āThe concept behind the game is that Sanura is a powerful being from a higher dimension who manages to manifest as a red cat anthropomorphic in some ways. There's a threat that is coming that is going to require people from all over the multiverse to band together with understanding and cooperation in order to save the universe. And so to do that she's created a Convergence City, which is a multidimensional nexus where it's a city that kinda looks like it's from everywhere, all at the same time. And in that, she's created the Institute for the study of multiverse convergence and players are going to take on the world. Players will take on the role of the Gifted, who are agents and envoys of the Institute, whose job it is to go out and explore, meet new people and help bring people together in unity as they do.ā
It's getting more and more interesting. I am glad to be with you at the initial stage of development.
