So this quite an interesting project so I had to reach out and see whats it all about every peice is hand drawn which is always great to see.
Hey
I'm ready bru .
No problem how was your day ?
My day has been very good and yours?
Cant complain and that's great to here . So did you do any work on your project today ?
Yes, some sketches were made, despite being digital arts, they go through a hand-drawing process. Ah so how did this all start . The dream maze is a 2 person project, so we always start with some conversations about random things about life, and how they end up taking us down such dark paths. After that, we put ourselves in Math's shoes, the protagonist, and watch his reactions as if we were in an rpg. We had a lot of fun creating this. After that, we start the sketches.
When did the project start ?
The project started with a conversation about greed that my friend and I were having on the shore.
And did you know what blockchain you were going to use ?
We were in doubt between open sea and wax. I went into the wax because a co-worker told us to, but after studying the blockchain wax more, we knew that this was our place.
When did you set up on wax ?
Another reason was that, after studying the minting process, I deduced that big companies like Mattel and Hasbro would also enter the wax blockchain. I told this to my friend Modolon, and he trusted me. Months later Mattel and Hasbro entered the WAX blockchain, and we were even more certain of our decision.
When did you drop your first NFT what was it ?
I don't remember the right day, but a few months ago, 7 months or more
Oh so you have been for a while what was first NFT you dropped ?
The first NFT of the labyrinth of dreams, were the first chapter, we spent 4 days without selling anything, and suddenly, sales increased enormously. We were independently studying and we had to wait sometime because we requested the verified so we could drop it on neftyblocks .
So was a nervous few days without a sale?
HAHAHA yes, we were very nervous. We put all our energy into the project, we created a huge universe, we didn't just post random NFTs to mine wax, we actually wrote an amazing story around Math and his saga in the dream maze. We were scared, but I think this is part of every initial project hahaha, if you don't get scared, it's not cool.
In total how many NFTs did you drop the first day so ?
There were 14 cards, divided by rarities: common, rare, super rare, and unique. We release an extremely limited amount of each card, it's very few units. Even the simplest items are hard to get.
That is some first drop very brave .
We did it this way, because there is nothing simple inside the dream maze, everything is obscure, everything is a mystery inside, even for us.
Do you a community now ?
Yes, we had courage, but from the beginning, we believed and loved it. We love creating this. Yes, there is an underground community forming within wax.
So have you drop series 2 yet ?
We release by chapter. Chapter 2 has already been released, we are now working on the third chapter.
Ah cool and is there anything new coming with the 3rd chapter ?
Yes, there are new cards, and a temporary blending system will be included. Whoever bought the purple key and also bought the purple door, congratulations, we have great news for you too hahaha. Temporary blends are blends that we will drop in neftyblocks, which will only be available for a short period of time. There are other blends that will stay there forever. We are exploring how far these blends can take us.
Did you a favourite NFT that you have released ?
My favourite NFT is for sure Bad Jester. My friend has his favorite NFT, it's Mr Pep.
Mr Pep
Bad Jester
Both are from the first chapter .
Why is bad jester your favourite ?
Bad Jester, is a figure that portrays someone who is deformed by others, I think it's very sad, this card conveys this feeling with clarity and a lot of reality.
Did you design it ?
The co-producer sketched it, and I coloured it and animated it and I designed the style of the card.
How long did it take to create ?
This specific card, it took 2 days to create it .
What programs you use to create ?
Adobe illustrator .
Has there been any collabs ?
Just me and my friend are on this project .
Would you collab with anyone ?
Yes, we are interested in collaborations.
Who would be your dream collab ?
We don't have that ambition for now. But for sure collaborating with Dc comics is the goal.
Oh wow aiming high . Who is your favourite NFT artist ?
Hotwheels , they are the masters of collecting.
What has been the best part of your project ?
For sure the best part was the beginning, where we were creating the genesis of the dream maze.
What had been the hardest part ?
The hardest part was creating the whole plot, all the chapters.
Is the dream to be full time job ?
The dream maze is already a full-time job
Oh brilliant and is still just the 2 of yous?
Yes, there is also a friend of ours who works in the translation part, he has been helping us a lot. His name is Aníbal.
Cool are you all from brazil ?
Yes Brasil .
What you like to do to unwind ?
Have a coffee and play the guitar.
Tell us something random about you ?
I like rpgs and fables, fantastic stories. I like philosophy and psychology. I love survival games. I like to have coffee, and I skate. Everything I have I owe to God and my family, so like, I like spending time with my family.
Is your dream to make your project into a game ?
This is not a dream, it's something we have as a goal, but there are a lot of chapters that we have to drop for the game to start being developed.
When would you say we are likely to see a game ?
I can't say anything about it at the moment, because we're too small yet, but that's a very clear goal.
