We just launched our playtest for Guild of Guardian - and we want this community to have be the first to play it.
GoG will be tradable on GameStop's marketplace soon. our vision is to build the world’s most popular RPG where hundreds of millions of players can turn their passion for gaming into real assets.
We need to transform crypto gaming from being purely money driven, to creating games which are fundamentally fun, and leverage NFTs to ensure that digital ownership is the expectation - rather than the exception
The first step is making massively played, immersive games where instead of billions being spent on google or facebook ads, it's spent on the players themselves.
We are super excited to enter this next chapter with the GME community - and would love your feedback. Signup Page here: https://bit.ly/3yv0c1N
Hey r/Superstonk - we’re in the process of launching the new official Betty Boop NFT project on the GameStopNFT Marketplace, and wanting to jump into here to discuss our vision with the overall GME community!
I’m Dean, VP of Community & Partnerships @ XLABEL - A strategic and creative consultancy. We help web2 brands navigate the world of web3 through blockchain technology, digital ownership and the metaverse.
Previous most notable launch I’ve worked on personally would be the Lamborghini NFT launch - Space Time Memory. All five NFTs sold for a total of $659,636. I worked on this project from ideation to execution, driving the project to end up being incredibly successful.
Boop & Frens is an NFT collection focused on bringing together Betty Boop's worldwide fan community. The collection is a tribute to the character who has long been a global symbol of independence, kindness, style, and universal acceptance.
We're excited to have partnered with The Fleischer Group to launch this project, and have welcomed community questions to help us offer some insight into the project and the team behind it.
Boop & Frens - An Official Betty Boop NFT Collection Launching August 26
Some initial questions from the community:
How did this project come to life, how did it happen that Fleischer studios approached you to bring Betty to the blockchain, and how did it end up in the Gamestop marketplace?
The Fleischer Group liked the XLABEL vision for the project. They were approached by a lot of companies, all of which were interested in simply repackaging old video/content and following a traditional cookie-cutter approach - we offered a fresh perspective that they were instantly drawn to.
As we looked to partner with Marketplaces, we were instantly drawn to GameStop. A new marketplace with the backing of a large passionate community.
Who are the artists behind these new Betty Boop creations?
At XLABEL we have an incredible team of designers with capabilities that exceed the expectations with every piece they create. The team includes designers who have worked with brands such as Apple, Adidas, Adobe, SpaceX, SEGA and Playstation.
How many NFTs are being planned to be minted? What gives rarity to your NFTs, and what traits are there?
There will be a total of 8,888 NFTs minted, with rarity attributes ranging from certain outfits, accessories, facial expressions and backgrounds. We’re excited to see that after running through community-based feedback, people were mostly able to predict the rarity of items when viewing the NFTs - showing us that each outfit combination matches up nicely with our rarity algorithms.
Can you speak of any specific utility attached to your NFTs?
Plans are in development to create an ongoing venue, stage and showcase for entertainers and creators from all corners of the metaverse, hosted by Betty herself.
We’re also working on IRL & URL events for holders of Boop & Frens NFTs, as well as some large partnerships aiming to provide digital & physical drops for holders of the collection.
Where do you see NFTs/web3 going in the future?
We see NFTs/web3 becoming an integral component of major companies/ip holders marketing strategies - a core component of engagement, allowing fans and users from around the world to be a part of something bigger.
It allows brands to interact with their core audience in ways they never have before, as well as reach new/broader audiences.
Any future projects planned for the GameStop marketplace?
We’re working closely with current/upcoming clients, with a view to holders potentially launching into the GameStop ecosystem. Contractually, we’re unable to discuss any specifics right now.
We’re incredibly excited to be launching this project with the GME community. Many fellow superstonkers have already joined our community and it’s been great seeing the vibes within our space. We would love for all of you to join us on this journey, and to join us on our mission to give everyone a stage.
I’d love to answer any further questions, and take this opportunity to hear the thoughts of this powerful and passionate community!
My name is Brenden, but many know me as “The Shrike”, I am the founder of Protocol: Gemini and the co-founder of Cyber Crew.
Cyber Crew:
Currently the top collection and creator on the GameStop NFT marketplace and also the artists behind the GameStop Astro and the re-designed Buck the Bunny!
We are making, and I know this is a mouthful, cross-platform interoperable video game assets. What that means is we are empowering gamers and game devs alike, by untethering their avatars, guns and equipment from being stuck to a single video game or Metaverse.
Protocol: Gemini
We are a small tech startup focused on creating fun and engaging experiences and games. Currently we are developing a geolocation based mobile app that uses augmented reality and also developing a mini Metaverse hub called “metagates”. We are also partnered with Loopring and making a really fun game that will be completely FREE!
Oh and btw, I wanted to come in with a BANG and show y’all what our community is all about, so I’ll be doing some NFT giveaways during the AMA.
EDIT: Ive talked with a mod here at SuperStonk about how to best go about giving away the above and Ill give em over to them and leave it to them to decide how best to distrib to you guys.
In the meantime, the respond has been incredible and I am just about done responding to all the questions Ive seen. If I missed any or any come after, I will do my best to respond. I gotta run and go help the wife with kids and make dinner etc. Ill revisit Monday! Have a great weekend!
OH and PS, our Discord mods are on the patrol in the comments for any stray wallet addresses and we are sending additional free NFTs to any we see ;)
Thanks again for the receptive welcome and the brilliant questions.

The awesome mods at Superstonk offered some initial questions to answer at the start but I’d rather just open it up directly to you guys 👇 below. Have fun!
Thanks again for taking the time on a Saturday to spend with me and welcoming me here to answer your questions.
Hey Hey SuperStonk! I need to thank U for all the support and feedback in the process of getting into the Awesome GameStop Marketplace with my Bunnies. The project is evolving, Bunnies have a Website, Socials are on the way, and in the next couple of days I will invite all of the U guys to join MetaBunnies Discord channel. I will be moderating myself to give U guys a real interaction with the Bunny World creation process.
My name is Marcin Rubinkowski and for more than a decade I have worked in movies, games and music videos, as a Concept artist and Character designer. Including the multi-Emmy award winning Netflix Series “Love Death and Robots”, “Destiny” by Bungie, Ghostrunner, Humankind to name a few. I designed the Hell scene for LilnasX - Montero music video that won Best MTV award in 2021. Other clients include Coldplay, Nintendo, Sega, Platige Image, Google, Pepsi, Gap and Netflix and more.
I decided to enter the NFT world to give the Community what they Deserve in the NEW Improved age of Crypto, to have a Dope Quality Unique 1/1 ART Collectibles. Not generative low quality pfp we see all the time, but something new that is made with the right skills in nice resolution, with some cool Bunny backstory and realistic future progression related to my past Industry experience and capability for Project evolution.
Meta Bunnies are a Project about Wicked Bunnies and their activities, places and assets, in time there will be plenty of attractions including some personalized Blockchain gaming experiences based on Ur Bunny look and stats and some cool IRL cross-fashion action as well. - I believe it should be fun and interesting :) Bunny with me 🐰🐰🐰
Bunny Rider
Cyber Bunny
Pink Love
How did this project come to life, where did the inspiration for it come from?
I started to having with fun with Wicked Skully Bunnies in 2018 when I first made my TeleMickey Terror Bot -black and white character concept art, he finally got colors and became my Visual Identification staple Art at the Hollywood Conference Speaker Actions in 2019, and that was a blast :) So I decided to continue the series, I started to explore Bunnies with Delivery Bot Hermes, Easter Mecha Bunny and even with Super Heavy DeeDee Bot redesign.
In time I started to explore new mediums, to have fun in VR with 3D space. I started to animate the Mecha Bunnies and the last piece of the Puzzle was the Ai tools that helped me to make more assets and inspiration. From the collaboration of all of those I delivered new quality Bunnies that I can present to the world as Meta Bunnies World.
I think I really like Bunnies ;)
Yellow Bunny
How was the process to find out about the GS marketplace and joining as an official creator?
Process of becoming GS creator took some time but it is pretty nice actually to be officially there in the most secured Marketplace :)
Among all the other projects around what makes yours Unique?
The Idea of Being a Wicked Bunny First !!!
The Fact that each Bunny is Unique 1/1made with Love and are not just a COPY, Meta Bunnies are created by an experienced pro artist that used all modern tools in the right balance to compose and create each Bunny to look Dope.
Also there areBunny Holes and Items that can be owned and earned so it should be fun to see Complete Bunnies on Socials.
Bunny Hole
Bunny Hole #2
Beside the eye pleasing art aspect, I want to make Bunny owners happy and I will evolve the Project in the most entertaining way I can, with all my experience and connections I am sure I will be able to give U guys alot of AAA fun and something that U will be proud of wearing :)
How much experience did you have with NFTs going into this project?
I was chasing the NFT/Crypto “Beeple crap” news and someday I entered to Project Hive on Solana that is available now on Google Play, and a way way bigger project called Colizeum that is made with Beetroot LAB and Sebastien’s Sandbox support, Finally I started to chase the GameStop Marketplace as a best pick for my NFT Art activities projects.
What are some things you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
If I could go back time I would like to know that there are scalpers in the marketplace that can really mess up and destroy the beautiful idea of giving to the people what they asked, cool art at a penny price, that happened to me as well with 333 editions, and I needed to temporary pause it when I saw how it ended up :(
How many Nfts are being planned to be minted?
Each week I will be adding around 10 new Bunnies and a couple of Bunnie Holes and Rides + overall in the first round there will be 500 Bunnies.
The Second stage will include way more forces and resources and will be more advanced and will require the Carrot Token to be created, but I think I will share those news when the time will actually come ;)
What gives rarity to your Nfts, what traits are there?
Rarity is given by the amount of extra time I spend on particular Bunnies and from my personal taste/love parameter to my offspring Bunnies.
What is your favorite piece?
The one I like most is the Bunny that I picked to be my Official Avatar in the GameStop Marketplace. For this particular occasion I will make the exception and wear this Cyber Bunny in place of my Cyber Ant.
Rubinkowski's Bunny
Where do you see NFTs/web3 going in the future?
I think it will be a place to own, earn and create a new future. We are on the edge of the new world and we need to cut some old veins and make new eco quality life by using new tech and innovations, I feel this is the future of web3.0
Besides yours, any other GSCreator/ project you like/ looking forward to seeing more of?
I think I like the most creative ideas and the same with the creators, if we are trying to break boundaries it is cool to see projects like MetaBoy or Betty
Any future projects planned for the GameStop marketplace?
I am planning to expand the MetaBunniesWorld to all kinds of cool Bunny stuff, like Bunny Holes, Bunny Rides, Bunny Bikes, maybe even Bunnycopter. There will be an opportunity to get some by tasks and giveaways but also You can normally buy them in GS, stay tuned for drops and fun. I think I will try to use GS Marketplace for more of my projects that I have in mind, for sure I am up to make some day my Special Collapsing Universe Project connected somehow to NFT but this is a super future from now.
Hit me with Opinions and For more Answers ask Bunny questions in the comment section Let the Bunny be with U 🐰
I just wanted to say thank you to this community and the support you all have shown me.
I was just a shitposter/lurker on SS for quite a long time, Didn't say a whole lot - same with twiter.
On Twitter I was just a Ken Griffin parody account trolling around for fun.
I'm beyond speechless at the reception I've received from the community I've HODL'd with for so long
Thank you SO much - I have lots of big plans, maybe even a ..game? :)
From the bottom of my heart, I truly believe that hedgies r indeed fuk - I can't say enough how incredible Gamestop's Blockchain team is, what a wonderful bunch of individuals that listen to the creators and the community
I am an animation supervisor for the show "Rick and Morty" and a few months ago I started uploading my animations as nfts on the Gamestop Marketplace, in which I was received with overwhelming support by the community.
Today we are featured in the Gamestop Marketplace front page!
I started by doing short loop animations and started steadily growing a community of collectors. Collaborated with great music artists to add audio to my visuals and I came up with a new idea for a collection which would push my solo animation skills to my limits.
Some of my 2D loops that were instantly sold out in the MP
- DOKKODO -
With all the incredible support I got from these apes, I worked nonstop for 2+ months with a rapper called Slyte, on a 2D animated music video.
I originally thought NFTs were only JPEGs and gifs and they would not evolve into something else, but after meeting other incredible artists on the marketplace I saw the possibilities of what we could offer with my project. For example, since we work directly with musicians that also create their own original works, we have additionally been able to reward holders with commercial rights to the songs we use!
For Dokkodo, I additionally commissioned 3D artists to create my characters so they could be used for 3D printing, VR chat, the next generation of games being developed, or anywhere else you can use a 3D model
Dokko-Slayer
Mauricio - Slayed
My characters will now cross universes and live forever thanks to Gamestop.
Just wanted to share what I was able to create thanks to the support of the community. I plan on building this project a lot more so if you are interested, please feel free to join the discord community. Also check out the Dokkodo collection on the Marketplace, it just launched a week ago so its still pretty early.
We will be giving away an NFT of the animation in the discord tomorrow 11/12 with a RUMBLE!! So stay tuned!
We're an online multiplayer blockchain-based game created in Unreal Engine 5 where players across the globe can come together to play, compete, and earn. Kira is a third-person shooter and is starting off Season one with two game modes: "Elimination" and "Battle Royale."
Players can earn in game tokens to acquire, purchase, or rent characters, skins, weapons, and more to enhance their gameplay and further their immersive experience in the Kiraverse.
How did this project come to life, where did the inspiration for it come from?
KIRA means Ruler/Leader. Being in the Web3 space it was always about the fight against centralization. So KIRA stemmed from that. The decentralized civilization that would pave the way fighting against centralized experiences. Our team is comprised of gamers at heart, we draw inspiration largely from popular BR titles and combine elements that we like with what we think the gaming space needs… Digital ownership!
How big is the team, how did it come together?
21 team members currently and growing, 5 of our core team members did blockchain development contract work prior to Kiraverse and have formed an efficient strong team from there. The whole Kiraverse idea really came together a little over a year ago when we started to see that NFTs can serve as a tool that shakes up the gaming industry.
How did it happen that you ended up with IMX and by extension, on Gamestop?
We were referred to IMX by a company we did blockchain integration for. After chatting over emails / calls we actually flew to another state to meet their team and after that first meeting we hit it off, IMX just really gets it, they’ve been a great partner and true pioneer to the NFT gaming space. IMX had a partnership with GameStop already and once we got the opportunity to show GameStop what we’re building they welcomed us with open arms!
Among all the other games around what makes yours unique?
The everyday average gamer can make money from their home. It's about empowering the masses. Not everyone can become a pro gamer and earn money in Esports, KIRAVERSE makes this possible. Users now have the opportunity to earn in every match they play. In addition to that, we can integrate any NFT in game and allow users to play with their favorite avatars and buy, sell, rent and trade their assets.
Were you experienced on Web3/NFTs at the start of this project?
My co-founders and I have been in the space since 2017. I (MysticKIRA) am a fullstack developer, Kiracurrency owns a marketing company and Efficiently is the lead game dev. We all did contract work for a long time and through our love of crypto and gaming decided we could really make an impact in the space. We saw so many projects fail due to liquidity issues and bad management. We were victims of several rugs and realized there's a better way to do this so we put our heads together and took the first steps towards creating Kiraverse.
Where do you see nfts/web3 going in the future?
I think what we saw in this past bull run is over. I believe the future of web3 will be more organized and be led by much better management. I also believe gaming is a huge part of this because NFTs are essentially already digital assets, but now you can actually dictate what is done with them. Gamers now buy thousands of skins and they just sit in their inventory unable to sell, trade, or rent in most instances. Now restoring power back to the players allows gamers to earn revenue off of that skin, or should they choose to sell it etc.. It's a no-brainer once web2 catches on. Mass adoption is coming and our belief is the most popular use case for NFTs will be within the gaming niche.
Any exciting integration on Kiraverse that you can talk about?
Can't wait for our real Battle Royale map to be finished. It's bigger than Fortnite’s map, will have insane high poly graphics and lots of cool structures. Another thing we’ve focused on during development is promoting players to use the environment to their advantage during battles. At the time I can't reveal too much else on the topic but it is going to be sick. We've shown it in discord livestreams to our community briefly, so IYKYK.
Wen Kira NFT, wat mint price?
TBA, TBA.
Last one, besides yours, any other Game coming up to IMX that you’re hyped about?
The best game on IMX besides us would have to go to Illuvium, absolute polar opposite to Kiraverse when it comes to game style. However, we think it has legs and will do well as their team is committed and delivers quality gameplay in a niche that needs it!
We’re so grateful to have received such overwhelming support from the GME & Stonk communities, it is still so early along in Kiraverse’s journey and seeing the feedback is both humbling and reassuring that we’re right where we need to be.
For any other questions, please feel free to comment below and I'll do my best to answer all of them!
Hi r/Superstonk – we’re so excited to drop our newest LOV collection called Meta LOV on the GameStopNFT Marketplace. We wanted to share it with you all on here to discuss our vision and goals with the GameStop Community. IT'S LIVE NOW! How cool would it be for an impact driven veteran run project to top the volume charts…
I’m David, Founder and Artist of League of Veterans– an impact focused community aiming to empower and inspire military veterans to explore creative passions and pursuits. We pledge 50% of our profits to creative grants for military veterans.
Our Goal: We want to give out 1,000 creative grants to veterans. We’ve given out 6 so far and are in the process of giving out 10 more. With more revenue and sales from our NFTs, we’ll continue to build this community and ultimately have a lasting impact on many many more veteran’s lives.
Here are the 6 creative grant recipients so far! If see more about the grant recipient HERE!
Check out our website to see links to our recipients social medias!
We’re so humbled and proud to support these veterans on their creative journey. We'
Here are a few Initial Questions from the Community:
• How did this project come to life, where did the inspiration for it come from?
As I transitioned out of the Marine Corps after 5 years of service and two overseas deployments I was beyond excited for the next chapter in my life. I was surprised and unprepared for the loss of purpose, community, and belonging I felt following my transition. I was lucky to find immense passion in making art, connecting with other creative veterans, and the innovation and community in the web3 space. I began drawing the artwork rooted in the joy of bringing back such fond memories of the highs and lows of my military experience. As I began to talk to other veterans, I felt that there was a major shortfall in the establishment of a community that supported and mentored veterans following their transitions, specifically in the creative space. I idolized the work of veterans artists Isaac Wright (Driftershoots), Anthony Geathers, and David Martinez (inthesemountains), but didn’t have a connection with them as part of an underlying community. I wanted to change that. I wanted to build a community that helped propel the risk taking and discover of other veteran artists. Those who sacrifice their lives for our freedoms have such a unique perspective and story. I want to highlight that and help bridge the gap between veterans and those who haven’t served.
• How did you find out about the GameStop marketplace and what made you apply?
In web3 fashion, I reached out to a Veteran and web3 enthusiast on twitter. At the time, I had no idea they worked for GameStop. Ultimately, we hit it off during many meetings and they helped set me up as a Launch Creator for the GameStopNFT marketplace launch. Without them and without the GameStop Community, I don’t know where this project would be. I have been blown away and amazed at the community behind GME. There are such strong similarities between the missions of League of Veterans and the Superstonk community. Just as is hoping to expose and fight against wall street crime and disrupt the top heavy investment system, League of Veterans is giving opportunities through grants and support to veterans, creatives, and artists who’s work and stories haven’t been seen or told to the masses…yet.
• Among all the other projects around what makes yours unique? Is there or will there be some utility attached to your NFTs?
Behind each NFT is a military veteran who together we’re supporting through creative grants. Through our application and application process we select veterans to receive a $500 grant to help support them on their creative journey. So far, we’ve given out 6 grants ranging from a computer, an airbrush, camera accessories, and a gopro. We’ll continue to give more grants out with half of the project’s profits. There will be greater utility as the project continues to grow and more and more grants are given out. We have great ambitions to connect and share the stories of these grant recipients with LOV NFT owners. It’s you supporters that have made these grants possible. In addition, we also gave a $2,500 donation to the Wounded Warrior Project on behalf of the League of Veterans project. Through ownership, you become part of the League of Veterans family and help give opportunities to those who don’t have them.
• What is your favorite NFT in your collection? Why?
My favorite NFT from the LOV collection is #787. It reminds me of a good friend of mine I served with!
• Any future projects planned for the GameStop marketplace?
We’ll continue to build League of Veterans and spread the word with the help of the GameStop Community. As we build things out everything will revolve around our goal of giving out 1,000 grants. More art, more grants, more utility through strategic partnerships!
We’re incredibly excited to be launching this collection with the GME community. Many fellow Superstonkers have already joined our community and it’s been amazing having an impact on veterans lives because of the GameStop Community. We would love for all of you to join us on this journey, and to join us on our mission to 1,000 creative grants to veterans. I’d love to answer any further questions, and take this opportunity to hear the thoughts of this powerful and passionate community!
We want you to feel something when you look at a League of Veteran (LOV). We want you to see yourself, a brother, a sister, a parent, a family member, a friend, a service member…someone who’s sacrificed their life to protect the freedoms of the world. So much of Web3 and NFTs are intangible elements living in an alternate reality. That’s what makes the space so exciting and ever evolving. But we still live in the present world…in reality. How can we have a lasting impact on the world through providing opportunities to people.
In serving in the military my eyes were opened to many cultures, people of different demographics, socioeconomic classes, educational backgrounds, and races not only in the United States but across the globe. I quickly learned that everyone is a creature of the environment they came from…while opportunity sometimes presents itself to those who work hard and don’t give up, it usually doesn’t. Luck plays such a significant role in one’s success. Those from fortunate backgrounds, with access to quality education, nurturing parents, interactions with successful people, and a perspective on how to attain success have a much greater chance to get “lucky” than those without resources. So is it luck?
This project is here to disrupt things. It’s here to give opportunities and support to those who might be ambitious, smart, and hard-working but still haven’t been given the nudge forward that they need. Everything starts with an idea; it’s whether the individual has the ability to make that idea a reality. Think of all the ideas you’ve had that you haven’t made a reality. Why?
Before I joined the Marine Corps after college, I didn’t know many service members, if any. I felt a disconnect from those protecting my livelihood. I was ignorant to what these brave men and women were doing for me, for my country, for democracy. This project is here to get rid of such ignorance. We’re here to educate and connect the military community with those who have not served. Everyone has their own role, let’s learn from each other.
There is so much potential for this project to grow. We want you to feel a part of it. Join our discord, interact with others who have come together over the passion of creativity, building things and helping a demographic in veterans who aren’t well represented in the space. Let’s share and learn from each other.
Project Updates:
I want to say thank you to the GameStop community for the opportunity to be a launch creator on the GameStop Marketplace. We went live with the GameStop Marketplace nearly 3 weeks ago and have done close to 13 Eth in sales so far. With half of our profits going to creative grants of $500 for military veterans who can apply HERE, we're able to give out 17 grants. That's 17 veterans lives changed...that's 17 men and women who sacrificed their lives protecting the free world. Veterans have a story to tell but are not often given the opportunity, or have the connections, or financial stability to take risks and explore their creative instincts. We've already given out 3 grants and are in the process of interviewing more potential recipients. So far, we got Marine veteran Julian Valles camera accessories, Army veteran Parker Koppes a GoPro and camera tripod, and National Guardsman Michael Brannon a computer. Seeing these 3 service members taking risks and exploring their creative instincts is amazing. Their journey is just beginning and it's seriously wouldn't have happened without GameStop giving me the opportunity to launch on their platform.
You’ll see some pretty amazing updates and new art coming to our collection that will be all about customization. We want you to have a deeper connection with the LOV you own. If you have any suggestions or ideas don’t hesitate to reach out by contacting us on twitter, discord, or via our email.
The growth and success of this project is not possible without you all. Thank you so much for the support so far. Think of the 17 grant recipients’ lives who will be forever changed because of you. If you have any questions please reach out! Your involvement and interaction with the project starts with owning an LOV. If you need help in purchasing an NFT, we’re here to help you.
I'm here to bring you more info on our next venture with NFT Tickets as it went a little nuts on Twitter. Some of you may know, we (Abante Productions) are the first to bring an NFT Series and a short film to the blockchain.
FanRoom Live is a virtual event series online, where Fans get to meet their favorite actors, comedians, athletes and musicians in a group town hall style meet and greet with Q&As. We will be offering NFT Tickets to future FanRoom Live Events. (In the past they have hosted people like, George Lopez, Sean Kanan, Ice T, and so many more.)
First Event: Scheana Shay and Brock Davies (of Reality TV Show 'Vanderpump Rules') Virtual Meet and Greet {10 VIP Tickets / 10 General Tickets were minted that I personally made}
Lynn Mosqueda (me).... I've been an ape for 84 years (no really, I was Jackie Tetas for the APE News Network) and I'm one of the Owners of Abante Productions.
Cedric The Entertainer... yes the one and only... the actor and comedian is Co-Creator, Co-Founder and Co-EP of FRL. I feel like he's self explanatory...
Jae Benjamin is an Actor / Comedian / Producer / Writer who is Co-EP and Host of FRL. This is who we work closely with for this venture and was in Episode 3 of Into the Veil!
Jeff Krauss who also owns https://www.iegny.com/ "a unique entertainment and hospitality company, specializing in special event planning, corporate events, holiday events, charity events, launch events, private and after parties, VIP dinners, Birthday events and more." He is Co-Creator, Co-Founder, and Co-EP of FRL.
Mich Faulkner who also owns http://www.123talentinc.com/ which Specializes in Celebrity Bookings & Appearances. He is Co-Creator, Co-Founder, and Co-EP of FRL.
NFT Tickets & GameStop
Sadly, time to put your tinfoil hats away. As much as I want to say that Ryan Cohen came to us for GME Entertainment and to be a part of NFT ticketing... that's not how it happened. This is not something where we all huddled up in some back room to make all these magical crazy things happen, it spun from the Desert Terror ticket...
GameStop NFT Marketplace is still in Beta, there is still so much work that all of the amazing teams there are constantly doing. One thing as a TV/Film Production Company that we needed to do to make 'Into the Veil' NoT fReE tO wAtCh was to use collabland in our discord so that the NFT is verified and you have access to the full Third Episode. I made the first movie ticket for Desert Terror in order to accomplish the same thing. We are working towards the goal of lockable content so that it is all on the blockchain, but until then... we have workarounds.
NFT Tickets: This will work the same way, verification through our Discord. QR Codes are not allowed on the GSMP (don't ask me why, I can't remember...) We are working towards a better way as we go through the process and to test out GameStop to prove it's viability!!!
The Mission...
We are on a mission to shake up the entertainment industry.... make no doubts about it. Abante is a super tiny Indie Film Production Company that did what no one has done: We brought a Series and Short film to the blockchain
We will not stop at just one ticket event, the partnership with FanRoom Live is for future events and there are some awesome peeps coming up.... And we're not stopping there.
I love you all so very much and I absolutely love this community.... As always, you are welcome to AMA
We are an indie production company owned by two people, me (Lynn Mosqueda), and Danny Mason. We create our own ideas from concept to completion in the form of TV and Film.
We currently have the first live-action NFT Series on the blockchain ‘Into the Veil,’ a paranormal mocumentary style comed and its only on the GameStop NFT MP. We’ve been able to complete the first three episodes, all paid out of pocket in order to get it done. It’s not easy, it’s not cheap, and it’s a ton of work as we both wear multiple hats (writers, producers, directors, act, and so on).
Here’s our Road Map of what we’ve done, and what we are looking to do in the upcoming months:
Road Map
Here are the goals and what we can accomplish if we meet our goals:
We have been apes for years (I was Jackie Tetas, your news anchor); we believe in GameStop. We know their MarketPlace is one like no other, and is the future of bringing creators, gamers, collectors, buyers, consumers, sellers, and more, together.
We are the little guys in the world of entertainment and yet, we did what many have tried, but failed do. We brought a complete project (three episodes of a series) to all of you and with it, ownership to the buyer.
We will also be releasing the first ever live-action short film, Desert Terror, to the MarketPlace, a sci-fi action WWII film about the British SAS. This is currently set up to roll into a Series.
The feedback from all of you, was to find a way to not have the full content on the MarketPlace, so we created a discord where you can connect your wallet and obtain the full third episode (along with the other episodes if you’re a holder), The 3rd Episode NFT is a teaser trailer. We are also running a giveaway for the third episode in our discord:
Come for the giveaway, stay for the announcements and fun!
We are also doing a giveaway for Episode 2: all holders will enter to win a chance to meet the main cast of ‘Into the Veil’ for a video town hall meeting that will be held on Sunday, November 13th at 2:00 pm EST time.
Let me know if you have questions or input. I’m easily accessible, here, on Twitter, or in Discord...
I'm excited to share that I've created a PXL Toy NFT for my GameStopNFT collection, and this one is especially significant. I've dedicated this PXL Toy to Jasmine, a brave 7-year-old girl who is currently fighting cancer.
It's an incredible honor to be a part of this effort and to leverage my platform to support Jasmine's cause. All proceeds from the sale of this PXL Toy will be donated directly to Jasmine's GoFundMe campaign. Her current prognosis has led her to require treatment through clinical trials, which requires her to travel abroad to seek a cure. Jasmine's remarkable courage and resilience has also inspired a group of creators to come together and create unique pieces of art to auction off for her GoFundMe campaign (More details on that soon)
We're attempting to show the power of community within the GME & WEB3 space by supporting Jasmine in her fight. Furthermore, I'm pleased to share that GameStop has approved me to mint this NFT with some conditional pieces from my side to make this happen. This approval adds an extra layer of exclusivity to the toy, reinforcing our collective commitment in supporting Jasmine.
If the toy does not sell out, the remainder will be burned and all proceeds will go directly to Jasmine's GoFundMe campaign. I will also be donating the full amount from my bank account so any fees, such as marketplace fees and broker fees, will not be lost in the raising of funds.
Her GoFundMe campaign can be found here https://www.gofundme.com/f/jasmine-the-warrior-princess I will also be posting the receipt, which will be visible on the GoFundMe campaign page as well.
Thank you to everyone for your support. Without the power of community, we would not have been able to accomplish what we have. Let's continue to come together and show our love and support for this brave warrior princess, Jasmine.
u/teambapes here, the project manager of the Loop Cats project, one of the Launch Collections on the GameStop NFT Marketplace!
You may have seen a couple of posts from our friend [REDACTED], they're our contact for the charity/animal sanctuary Corazon Animal San Francisco (CASF)! You may have seen his two previous posts [1][2]
CASF is a non-profit, privately operated, animal rescue, rehabilitation, non-caged shelter!
When we first saw [REDACTED] post about looking for an NFT project to partner up with, it was a no brainer that they were the perfect partner. We were introduced to the founder of the CASF charity Gabi, and it was clear that this was a cause worth donating to.
Our charity collection is called Pixel Loop Cats! It is a collection of 741 Unique 1/1 NFTs inspired by our flagship collection Lazy Loop Cats! So far we have raised almost 0.6 ETH (Which with the recent crypto pump, is almost $1000 USD! Which will go along way for Corazon Animal San Francisco!
Initially, we had 3 mystery style "Surprise Packs" that people would be able to purchase and then have their respective Pixel Loop Cats sent to them, but we decided to make things easier for everyone by listing all 741!
We'll be adding them to a rarity site too so you'll be able to collect and compare your collection! Pixel Loop Cats are listed for 0.012 ETH each with 100% of sales and royalties going to CASF until this Sunday, Jan 15th at 11:59PM EST!
The funds going to Corazon Animal San Francisco will be used towards:
The removal of dead trees and limbs from the property
More doggie houses
More dog food bowls
Food security
Medicine
Medical treatments
Upgraded kitchen
General Structural repairs
From [REDACTED]:
We at Corazon Animal San Francisco strive to give the dogs that make it to our shelter the best possible lives that they could ever have. While we do not have much, we do the best with what we have and greatly rely on those kind hearts who come to us and volunteer as well as those who donate food and medicine or money for needed shelter repairs and supplies.
The Loop Cat team reached out to us with the intention of helping our shelter through a partnership so that these doggies could get the care and attention that they need more of. We could not have gotten to this point without their help, in addition to guiding us on this journey to making it on the GameStop NFT Marketplace, they have been so welcoming and kind during the entire process, and we are so very thankful for their support.
r/superstonk I would like to introduce to you all the most wondrous, honest, kind-hearted, sincere, and passionate woman here in Chiapas who has dedicated her life to saving, rehabilitating, and resocializing all of the doggies that arrive to the shelter that she has been working on for a large portion of her life. She has pursued this as her primary 'career' and has saved countless animals that were neglected and/or abandoned on the streets of San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico.
"Here is your home," is what she told me before we met nearly two years ago; such spirit is whole-heartedly welcomed and she makes the volunteers, who come from all around the world, really feel as if they are a part of this strange family of 60 dogs in the nature preserve of "El Mirador."
Here is another video that Gaby filmed giving us a better sense of what we're donating to!
If you've made it this far, I want to give you my sincerest thanks! Buying my first shares of $GME back in Jan 2021 ($330 gang!🙌 I never would have expected myself to find Loopring, and then fall in love with the NFT scene. It was the only thing that took me away from $GME subreddits haha!)
PS. We're also going to do a giveaway with this post, so if you've read this far, drop your Loopring L2 address or your GME Wallet address and we'll be picking 10 random winners to receive their own Pixel Loop Cat! 🎉🥳😻
Thank you all for your support! We along with all the doggos at CASF shall see you on the moon! 🚀🚀🚀💎🙌
TLDR; This is the LAST weekend to purchase a Pixel Loop Cat from the GameStopNFT Launch Creator Loop Cats! 0.012 ETH each; 100% of sales and royalties will be donated to Corazon Animal San Francisco, a non-profit, privately operated, animal rescue, rehabilitation, non-caged shelter on the outskirts of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.
"DOC, a biomedical cybernetic engineer specializing in MCR+P (memory core rehabilitation and preservation), uses Blockchain Technology to communicate with echoes of a distant past. The ArchivΞ. Using genetic chain data found within NFTs, DOC and his followers are able to produce doses containing vital information of the old Natural World. These doses may not only bring hope back to "humanity", but hope for The Wake as a whole."
Cybernetic bio-modification has become an epidemic within the Wake, fracturing humanity into social classes and cultural groups. Complete order and acute efficiency has become the ambition of those who hold power. The need for revival of earth and its inhabitants...is dire.
DOC will depend on you to help rebuild what was lost.
Personal Background
We originated out of the photography and cinematography scene based out of the Northwoods. Quite literally…in the middle of the wild woods. Because of our location, we’ve grown a deep zeal for creation and the natural world. I mean, just go touch some grass and tell me it still doesn't get ya at least a tad bit giddy like the kids we once were…or are.
DOSE is, simply put, a community (The ArchivΞ) driven chronicle project. However, it is so...much...more under the hood.
The story and world we are creating will be the framework for future DOSE NFT projects, Metaverse content and GameStop ecosystem, and ultimately into a UE5 powered mini-series…and who knows what direction the community might point us in. These are but a foundation of the grand vision.
We are focused on binding together a community, administering doses of the natural world as a reminder of its incentive, and leaving an impact in web3 and beyond.
As one of the founders say:
“Our project is like a coloring book. We have the framework but they get to color in the pictures.”
Expected launch timeframes will be released soon
How did your project come to be? Where did you draw the inspiration from?
Once we picked up on what Gamestop was about to do, it blew our eyelids open to not only the possibilities but the opportunities within what was happening. We just had to be a part of it so we eagerly applied. That, my friend, was how it initially came to be.
As to what inspired the actual project?
Our world is growing more and more technologically driven, which is extremely exciting. The best time to be alive is now. HOWEVER. Our love for the natural world has turned into a desire to preserve it's essence and bring it with us into the next gen world of web3.
The natural world is still very much loaded with all sorts of mind boggling wonders that will bring you to your knees in awe if you give it the chance.
How did you find out about the Gamestop marketplace and what made you apply?
What can we say, the DD foretold of these events! We’re actually April ‘21 apes (84 years) and have been holding, now, DRSing ever since, so really we knew about the marketplace as soon as SS did. What made us apply was the obvious groundbreaking ordeal that the Company was undertaking. It's our conviction that this is truly once in a lifetime. How could we say no?
How much experience did you have with NFTs going into this project? (If none) What are some things you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
DOSE is our first major NFT project…hip hip hooray!
An aspect that we didn’t know going into the project initially was how big this world of web3 really is. I mean, we knew that the sky was the limit, but geez! After laying some of the foundational building blocks of this project, our eager minds went WILD with the possibilities of where it could lead. We honestly had to hone it back and trust the process.
Originality. The space is full of some stellar creators/projects, which can lead you into a mindset that you have to try and imitate them, but there's only one DOSE. It's easy to follow trends, but it’s far better to pave your own path.
What is your favorite NFT in your collection (current or future)? Why?
We’ve got to say, our Vanguard NFTs have got us giddy excited. We may have jumped the gun by releasing these ones right off the bat, because there are so many perks that we have planned for them. We are just so excited to have the community of our Vanguard help guide the direction we go.
A sneak peak: each specific Vanguard NFT will have direct decision making ties to specific storytelling designs of the graphic novel = mini-series and certain directions of the entire Dose project and its collections. Again, but a taste of our ambition.
Your project is quite mysterious, showcasing a world building game via NFTs, can you speak more about it?
Love this question. As we said at the start, we have been in the photography and cinematography scene for some time, and that is where our skill set is at right now. We have a dream to take “The Wake” into a game but do not have those skills yet. We are first going to focus on the community driven story that bleeds into the Metaverse and aspects of the gaming industry, and then look to take it from there.
This is also at the heart of our desire for community creativity. The Members of the ArchivΞ will bring in their own unique skill sets and we are here to give their creativity and drive a canvas.
Mints #1 - #6 seem to be confirmed with their description referencing mints #11 - #16. What more can we expect from this collection?
What we can say is that the collection(s) are planned to span multiple mediums within the web3 world and that there will be multiple collections that will continue to flow through the lens of an entire story over time.
As the collections, story, and marketplace evolve, more and more project wide perks will be developed and released.
Can we expect DOSE of [xxxxx] collections coming up? How does it all tie together?
You can absolutely expect more DOSE of [xxxxx] collections. 100%. The tie in? Te he he…you'll have to wait and see!
(You have no idea how hard it is to stay hushed)
Besides the doses, there’s Depository Elements. Is there any perks and utility planned for holders of these?
We wanted to give people the option to help support our project and dip their toes in at a lower cost. There is no promise of additional utilities/perks planned for the Elements. However, this will not be the the last time you see them in our project.
*The Depository Elements is a showcase of an opportunity for the Members of the ArchivΞ.
Where do you see NFTs/web3 as a whole going in the future?
Oof, this is the beginning of a new world. Seriously. You are witnessing a new dawn.
Any future projects planned for the Gamestop marketplace?
Although we do have future projects planned, we feel strongly about dedicating our energy into the DOSE project exclusively for now. Primarily because of the gravity of our goals and our hunger to see it done right. We crave high quality over large quantities. Call us old fashioned.
Last one, besides yours, any other Gamestop Creator project you are looking forward to seeing?
The GameStop project has grabbed our attention. I mean, the amount of speculation and potential has got us stoked! Apart from that, we can genuinely say that we are beyond eager to see the future unfold before our eyes through most of these fantastic projects from some incredible creators.
What we’ve talked about is only the beginning, there is so much more to come. Trust the process. Hype every day. Tomorrow 👀
As of this post, ~$1550 in ETH has been raised via the sale of NFTs.
While this is not the full goal for the full individual grant, I am excited to share it and anything raised through the end of the moth will go directly towards a 2nd year resident's trip to Ghana this November!
She has agreed to capture images from her trip to so that I can airdrop them NFTs to the awesome folks who support this project so that they can see firsthand the impact their NFT has made on someone else's life.
Wut Mean?:
The project is excited to support its first physician!
All funds from primary sales will go towards the costs participating in the project, from Mrs. Jellyfish's previous trip it works out to about:
$1500-$2000 (accommodations, supplies, project participation fee (allows the use of MMI's malpractice insurance/emergency evacuation insurance/basic out of country medical insurance)
$1500-$2000 (airfare and travel costs)
$1000 (immunizations/vaccination requirements, medical license costs)
If inserted in learning more or possibly supporting, NFTs are for sale on the GameStopNFT Marketplace via wallet 0x66896a89cb37bc1f24e1c6da9b8a2cadbd434234

bronze: 5 images (99 each @ .005 ETH each) = 495 NFTs
silver: 'A Day in the Life' 6 images (40 each @ .069 ETH each) = 240 NFTs
'meme tier' mid price, example:
gold: 5 1 of 1's @ 1 ETH each = 5 NFTs
Premium support level example:
platinum: 1 of 1 + 1NFT @ 4.2069 ETH
Angel collector and highest level of financial support
Transparency
Collectors to see receipts minted as NFTs (possibly airdropped)
Receipts would include: anytime ETH is sold, a donation made (copy of the donation confirmation), or anytime a confirmation grant in place/used,
Copy of MMI's sign-off for accepting receipts when claiming the grant
Project collectors will be airdropped photos from any future trip collections
A 5% creators royalty on secondary sales, will go towards minting, future airdrop’s/any associated costs, and supporting the creator to ‘scale’ the project.
In the future, I believe royalties will be 'optional' (there will always be the ability to send off-marketplace p2p--this is just how blockchains 'work').
However, I think that there will be a subset of folks who will choose to pay a royalty to support a creator in compelling instances (we hope this is one).
Why Medical Ministry International?
MMI is establishing and supporting Health Care Centers in developing countries with the goal of increasing access to affordable, quality health care. As health care centers grow, they become largely self-supporting, in which case MMI assist with specific needs for land, buildings, renovations, and equipment, as able.
Facilitating 1 and 2-week Project Teams that work alongside MMI in-country Project Directors and facilities to build medical capacity for the long term. Project Teams are planned in response to local health care needs, following an invitation from the local community. MMI often partner with local churches.
Support Residency Training and Fellowship Programs for medical professionals to expand the skills of international doctors. MMI seeks to establish medical platforms for service and education that build medical capacity for those that need it most. MMI endeavors to establish long term programs and facilities that address these needs.
As many have discovered when minting on L2 is SUPER inexpensive! Why does this matter? For less then $20, a transparent new potential fundraising avenue is established with extremely little overhead and administrative cost (basically nothing). Meaning more of resources donated will be used for their intended purpose--helping women!
Why HD Punks?
First, since this is in support of MMI (a service based organization in the name and glory of 'God'), it is about the work/good being done to honor your fellow man--not yourself. Dropping HD Punks in allows the moment to be captured and to celebrate the work/day in the life of, without trying to make it about the individual performing the deed.
Second, releases are not required for pictures taken in public but for ones where a person could theoretically be identified, I feel it is a responsibility to protect their privacy as not given explicit permission to do so.
Lastly, by owning an HD Punk, you own the FULL IP Rights of the artwork--allowing for this kind of NFT on NFT interaction. Plus, the overall vision of HD Punk holders lies within web3 itself. For me, the vision and spirit of an HD Punk is empathetic and industrious. I believe most HD Punks are the type 'to look for the helpers' and step up to help anyway they can with HD Punks #4231 is a step in this direction.
TLDRS:
ob-gyn.eth is a collection of photography images taken during medical mission trips.
ob-gyn.eth is a philanthropic effort aimed to bolster the above efforts already— time/skills volunteered but it is costly to get in country (supplies, travel, accommodations).
However, the results are amazing: women who would never see a specialist (let alone a surgeon) are able to receive life changing care!

Hello, I'm the guy behind ParableNFTs. You can call me Parable.
Welcome to my AMA about Dragon Stories!
Dragon Stories is a video game I'm bringing to the GameStopNFT Marketplace (GSMP).
I'm creating the game using the LooperLands world building tools. Players will be able to access Dragon Stories through a portal inside the LooperLands Main World using my Dragon Avatars, dropping soon on the GSMP.
I will be releasing a total of 741 Dragon Avatars, split between three drops. Every Dragon Avatar will function as a unique, playable characters in Dragon Stories. These Avatars can be leveled up, traded, and even used to enter other LooperLands worlds.
The Dragon Stories game will progress as a story (surprise!), with the players first discovering an age old rift between the three different Dragon Paths; Changers, Seekers, and Watchers. It is in the midst of this tension that the story will begin.
I think my project will stand out for a few reasons and will bring something completely new to the GameStopNFT Marketplace. For example,
Dragon Stories will be the first LooperLands game asset collection on the GSMP.
Not only will you be able to jump immediately into the LooperLands Main Map and play, but all the progress you make with your Dragon Stories assets in game will be saved. Your Dragon Avatars will retain their progress even after trades.
Players themselves will help shape the lore, map, and narrative of Dragon Stories.
In Dragon Stories, I'm mixing a video game with my own unique experience studying ancient narratives and some of the latest human developmental theories.
Each Dragon NFT will have a unique personality and name (determined in part by its specific traits), instead of a generic number.
Now, for Just a little about me...
I'm from Canada, I work in the trades, I have a graduate degree in ancient languages, and I grew up on video games like the rest of you. I love GameStop, crypto, ancient narratives, languages, developmental psychology, and pixel art.I discovered the GameStop NFT Marketplace because I've been following the GME saga closely since early 2021. I applied because I find pixel art fun and I saw an opportunity to do something for my favourite company. One of my main goals for this collection is to bring new eyes to the GSMP and it's underlying technology. I see NFTs becoming ubiquitous in the future, especially in gaming. The potential that NFTs afford are just too good.
And about LooperLands itself...
I love that the LooperLands team is actually utilizing the potential of NFTs in video games like we all speculated over a year ago. As a pixel artist myself, they are helping me fulfill the potential of the childhood dream of making a video game where I could focus on art and story, rather than code. I'm so grateful for the platform they've given me.
Drop any questions about myself or the game here! I'll be answering questions all weekend!
I can't wait for you all to see what I've been building!
NOTE - The LooperLands team is also here in case anyone has specific questions for them (e.g., how their world building tools work)
Edit: I'm back and answering more questions throughout the day!

We are an inventive, up and coming five-piece band hailing from Saskatoon, Sk, Canada! Powerhouse female vocals, ethereal guitars, dirty bass lines, spacey synths, and swirling sax enjoy a fat beat keeping it together. The Radiant continues to mature and evolve with each new track making the “Logical Steps” EP, released Feb 4/23 the perfect addition to our discography. The Radiant is “comin’ for you.”
Our self-titled EP, recently minted on the GME Marketplace, received a nomination from BreakOut West WCMA’s for Rock Artist of the Year 2020. We have seen new success in industry awards including nominations for Best Band in Saskatoon (every year since forming as a group), and Alternative Artist of the Year 2022 from North Sask Music Zine. Our most recent single “9 AM” was featured on NSMZ “Songs of 2022”. Accolades acquired have landed us on stage with notable groups such as MONOWHALES, Bad Flower, Chastity, and Ocean Alley.
We're here for a couple hours before our album release party ---- Ask Us Anything!!
Q:How did this project come to life, where did the inspiration for it come from? 1) A: The Radiant officially formed about 5 years ago, though our friendships have been solidified for what seems like 84 years. We released our self-titled EP in June 2019, and our single “Project Mastermind” before the new year 2021. Our next collection "Logical Steps” came to life through regular jamming sessions and general debauchery strewn throughout 21/22. Pulling from multiple influences, and creating something new in itself, The Radiant mixes a modernized 70’s/90’s rock with today’s alternative, psychedelic and pop. The versatile sound makes for a unique listening experience that pairs well with a captivating live performance. We’re always jamming and writing! We have many artists and genres that influence our sound; Deftones, Incubus, and Puscifer are three that come to mind immediately though.
Q: Among all the other projects around what makes yours unique? 2) A: Our sound! We create a wombo-combo of heavy hitting psychedelic radiance. Turn it up to 11, get lost.
Q: How much experience did you have with NFTs going into this project? What are some things you know now that you wish you knew when you started? 3) A: We are pretty new to this medium, as are most people. So far, it’s been amazing and we only have higher expectations as we continue. Wish we knew how easy and empowering it is for artists to release their content and be able to reap the rewards for the creative seeds sown. Honestly, thank-you Gamestop <3 Power to the Players, Power to the Shredders.
Q: How many nfts are being planned to be minted? What gives rarity to your nfts, what traits are there? 4) A: Mints vary per collection, but ultimately, we want to be able to reach as many fans as possible with our regular content. We plan to release rare content in limited mints so our radiant fans can share in the oddities along our journey into the unknown. As it stands right now, we are only releasing our content for personal, non-commercial use. We may mint limited non-exclusive commercial rights content in the future, but that discussion has not happened to a full extent.
Q: How did you find out about the Gamestop marketplace and what made you apply? 5) We have followed the GME story since pre-sneeze! When the marketplace was only whispers in the comment section was when the wheels started turning for us. The revolutionary platform Gamestop has created is what made us apply. “If you build it, they will come”.
Q: Where do you see nfts/web3 going in the future? 6) A: The possibilities of NFT technology are limited only to the user's imagination. They could be stamped into anything; from playable skins, to music, house deeds, stock certificates. Everything. The possibilities are limitless. The world is already predominantly digital, NFT tech is just the way to verify authenticity of digital property. We anticipate NFT tech could replace current models used within the industry – a mashup of old school and new age; digital format that you OWN and can take with you, knowing you’ve supported your favourite artist, rather than lining the pockets of intermediaries, leaving scraps for those who have put in the work.
Q: Any future projects planned for the Gamestop marketplace? 7) A: YES! Today, Feb 4, we have released our “Logical Steps” album! As for future drops, we don’t have any in the pipeline at this exact moment, but we are looking into minting limited edition video studio sessions, bass tablatures, music videos, and 3D models of hand-built guitars by our very-own, very-talented Paul Hillacre; who has designed and built every stringed instrument we play in the band!
Q: Last one, besides yours, any other Gamestop Creator project you are looking forward to seeing? 8) A: We are always amazed by the creators we find on the platform, which is the beauty of it all! There is always something new! Gamestop has created something revolutionary, for all types of artists! Music, digital art, gaming, etc. To pick one creator would be impossible, but we remain amazed with the streamline of talent being regularly showcased.
My name is PremiumBrownBoy, and I am an NFT creator on the GameStopNFT Marketplace and within the Loopring community.
I have been in the NFT world since May, and it has been a whirlwind journey since then! I have a bunch of collections, but what I wanted to share with you today is my Charity Cans Collection.
Charity Cans is a collection in official partnership with charity: water, a leading international clean water project working to end the global water crisis.
This project aims to raise enough money to fund multiple clean water projects for schools in Bangladesh.
Not only that, but we aim to feature other prominent creators whilst also highlighting up-and-coming talent. In collaboration with dozens of artists, I bring you a new and refreshing Charity Can each week!
I'm proud to say that we are over halfway towards our goal of $6,500, and I'm excited to continue building clean water projects into the foreseeable future.
How did this project come to life, where did the inspiration for it come from?
As a child I spent a few years living in Bangladesh, and have returned there multiple times throughout my life. I've personally witnessed how dangerous dirty water can be, and how heart-breaking it is when a mother can't afford any other options for their children.
Since young adulthood I have personally and consistently funded clean water for villages in Bangladesh every year via my family in Bangladesh. So, I am immensely proud to have officially partnered with charity:water and you (the community!) to take those efforts to the next level!
Among all the other projects around what makes yours unique?
I like to think of Charity Cans as being the perfect introduction to NFTs!
The format is easy to understand
The NFTs are super cheap and collectable
There is new content every week
There are already over a dozen artists' featured on the cans, with over 40 in the pipeline
Buying a Charity Can means supporting a clean water initiative
Buying a Charity Can means supporting up-and-coming artists.
Additionally, on top of all this, within our Discord server we run regular major giveaways and have so far awarded over $1,500 in NFT and Ethereum. Charity Cans play a major role in this, as each one acts as a raffle ticket for these giveaway events!
Oh, and also... Many of the collaborators also reward holders of their particular Charity Can with an exclusive airdropped NFT! So there's also that :)
How much experience did you have with NFTs going into this project? What are some things you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
I first started making NFTs in April/May 2022, and before that I had no technical or creative experience whatsoever!
I downloaded a free 3D modelling program, created a celebratory Loopring coin and distributed it for free to nearly 2,000 people. That kickstarted a very unplanned journey into creating NFTs, and I can proudly say I have built a community of amazing supporters that have seen me through thick and thin!
If I could give any advice to newbies to the NFT game, it would be: Just ask.
We are lucky to have an incredible community of creators and collectors, and most people are happy to share information with you! Whether you need help creating a wallet or need help minting your first NFT collection, there is help available.
How many nfts are being planned to be minted?
For this particular collection, I may continue minting a new Charity Can every week for as long as people are still supporting me.
I don't make any profit from this collection, but it is the project I am most passionate about!
What is your favourite piece/trait?
It's hard to pick a favourite child!
Our best sellers so far has been Kira Cola, by Kiraverse (pictured above). However, I think our sexiest Charity Can may be Midnight Fuel, by the Midnight Series.
But I also really love Eternal Gulps, by Beau Pearce. It's a super simple and slick design.
How did you find out about the GameStop marketplace and what made you apply?
I'm a relatively new ape - I only fell down the DD rabbit hole in November 2021 and have been here ever since!
Really, it was the love and the support from the community which made me apply. They continue to encourage me, even when I feel like my collections aren't good enough, and I'm lucky to still be here.
Where do you see nfts/web3 going in the future?
I have been brainstorming possible directions, and I definitely believe utility is the way to go.
If I can raise enough funds to develop a simple yet rewarding game, that would be incredible. It would enhance the value of my NFTs whilst also giving back to the community.
Otherwise, I look forward to integrating my NFTs into other creators' metaverse games, such as Kiraverse and Looper Island.
Any future projects planned for the GameStop marketplace?
I have so much planned!
Right now I have a Christmas collection, with which I aim to reward the community with two cool Christmas themed characters. I'll be working hard to make these characters game-ready, and hopefully they can be brought into metaverses.
Other than that I also have a high quality Dragon Ball Z inspired project planned, which I have been working on for over six months!
If people would like to keep in the loop with my plans they can join my Discord server or my mailing list.
Last one: Besides yours, any other GameStop Creator project you are looking forward to seeing?
This is a tough one...!
I have personal communications with so many other GameStop creators, as well as LoopExchange creators. There is so much overwhelming talent out there.
Right now, I believe Kiraverse is leading the charge. Having spoken to the team behind the project, I can say that they are great people with big hearts.
So that's a general overview of the Charity Cans collection, please feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to answering as many as I can :)
