Evaverse NFTs: an interview with the creators
The Evaverse NFT collection aims to disrupt the status quo of standard NFT art collections by offering the NFT community 10K unique 1/1 playable game avatars for a multiplayer PC game called the Evaverse.
The Evaverse game is a full-featured multiplayer game releasing on Steam right after the collection releases. All 10K avatars will be fully animated and playable characters in the world of the Evaverse. Players will be able to create their own servers, meet other collectors, show off their opensea collections and find buyers, all while playing mini-games and hanging out with other community members.
The First Arrivals NFT collection is 10K of the first arrivals into the Evaverse. There are over 30 unique collection traits and 450 million possible variations of characters in the set. Owning a First Arrivals character grants you exclusive access to that character within the Evaverse. The Evaverse game will be free to play for all players though, with or without NFTs.
The long-term vision for Evaverse is to build alongside the NFT community. The developers plan to partner with other collections and bring their avatars into the 3D non-voxelized Evaverse world for collectors to experience.
We were lucky enough to sit down with the team and ask some detailed questions about the project!
Please provide an overview of the project in your own words.
The Evaverse First Arrivals NFT collection is a 10,000 1/1/ unique ERC-721 set of beautifully animated 3D avatars that are first to arrive in the Evaverse video game. Each avatar is created from up to 19 possible unique traits, creating 430 million total unique variations possible, with certain avatars possessing incredibly rare traits.
The Evaverse is a multiplayer social game built for the NFT Community. Each NFT is a rigged and animated playable game character inside the Evaverse video game. Owning a First Arrivals character grants you exclusive access to that avatar within the Evaverse.
The Evaverse is playable on PC and is releasing on Steam after the collection launch. Players can create their own servers, meet other collectors, and show off their Opensea NFTs while playing mini-games and hanging out with other community members in an immersive 3d environment.
The long-term vision is to expand the Evaverse game alongside the NFT community. Evaverse NFT holders will be able to propose game updates and future design mechanics as we build out the Evaverse world in the direction our NFT community wants. Ultimately, our goal is to partner with other NFT collections to bring their avatars into the non-voxelized 3D world of the Evaverse for all to experience.
What is the projects launch date?
The Evaverse pre-sale is launching Wednesday, July 14th at 1 PM PST. All player avatars will be revealed the following week on July 21st at 1 PM PST.
How did you come up with the idea for this project?
We were inspired by the NFT community itself. We saw how strong and passionate the community is and how collectors used Discord to band together around NFT projects. This gave us the idea of building a more immersive digital social space for the entire NFT community. We also believe the potential for NFTs and gaming is massive and we’re still in the early stages of the play-to-earn revolution.
What Makes this project unique?
The Evaverse is unique because it’s offering a set of fully animated, 3D NFT avatars alongside a fully developed multiplayer game for PC. The game and metaverse concept is not a stretch goal that will be developed months or years to come, it’s releasing right after the Evaverse NFT collection. Our goal was to create a high-quality, game-centric take on the mainstream collection style.
How Big is the team and what are their roles?
The Evaverse team is small and developers fill multiple roles on the project. We have an art lead, a tech lead, an animator, a web developer, and two supporting artists. All our technology has been developed internally by our team.
What is the price?
.1 ETH. The presale will last for 1 week,
Why is that price fair?
The mint price reflects the overall utility and aesthetic quality of our avatars. We have fully animated playable game characters, with beautifully rendered backgrounds and facial animation. The Evaverse game is going to expand and grow over time, and with that, so will the value of the very First Arrivals collection. We believe the price is fair and reflects the opportunity and uniqueness of our project.
What is the Mint Size?
The mint size is 10,000 NFTs.
Are there any mechanics we should know about?
The Evaverse game has voice chat enabled and gives players the opportunity to create their own servers. It also has mini-games like laser tag, tag, bowling, soccer, and low gravity settings. In the future, we plan to expand the types of games based on what our community desires.
