Right I am guessing many of you haven't heard about this project and yes I was one of you till recently the project was pointed out to me by a friend on noise.cash and I so glad he did but I will let the artist explain about his project .
Hi
Hey, how are you ?
I am good you . Well how is your day going ?
Just great & you ?
Good where you working today ?
From home like always .
Can I ask what you work as ?
I was working on UniversSpace collection ! Trying to build a strong community
Is this your full time job now ?
For a bit, yes it is Sounds a bit strange to jump from a manager in the auto-industries to NFT creator right ?! I'm now focusing on doing what I have always enjoyed, creating and sharing knowledge about Univers
Wow that is some jump what made you do it ?
To be honest, a lot of pressure, and I wasn't feeling that it was the way I wanted to create things Now I'm participating in something much healthier & futuristic for the world !
It must be strange going from managing a company to creating NFT's?
From my youngest age I was always drawing everywhere on everything, things got me back ! I'm realizing my dreams with NFTs
What is the dream ?
The real dream would be to create what people want for people, the project is to start a "multiverse" out of UniversSpace collection soon if the next sales goes right, there is still a lot to do, but bit by bit we will make it !(edited)
Of course how did you come up with the project ?
I discovered NFTs throw all the hype that was going on with NFTs, and then I searched for a "crypto game" and found out about Aliens World and Wax Atomichub, for me it was a revolution, I was able to create and share my own NFTs on this platform, I came out with this project because I'm always dreaming and thinking about all the infinity that surrounds us and I want to share it !! Oh and yes, the community ! "Is it a game?" "When the game?" And why not create a whole world ? Like I've always imagined !
So your plan is to create a whole world ?
Sure ! Each planet will have it's own "playground" . Let's say, many worlds
And will it be done in series or which way ?
There will be sales for the main assets in the game, like "species" to create your characters or even spaceships that will be announced soon. And there are a lot of people that doesn't even know it right now, but what they already hold from UniversSpace collection will be used to get access to specific regions !! The main idea is to gather enough from the next sales to build up the team .
So certain NFT's will be like passports ?
Exactly ! I'll explain it in details when I'll release the official road-map . There is even a pass that grants access to the whole region on the named NFT, but requires a lot of blending, only the toughest will get it
When will the road map be out ?
The road-map could be out in a week or two, I need to make some phone calls and see if Salvador would be a good place to get things done . Seems like they are far ahead of the world in crypto projects right now
Oh is it a team project ?
Sure, we are actually 2 on the project and trying to bring the best ideas and NFTs out of it, but the goal is to build a team that would create the worlds people want ! Created by the community for the community ! And if anyone is interested in joining the project with new ideas, it's with a great pleasure that we will welcome those who wants it . We want to create something strong that will last forever !
Are you friends in real life ?
Sure, we are best friends for around 15 years now . His the moderator on our discord, feel free to ask him anything, he will be glad to respond.
Oh brilliant and are you both designing NFT's ?
I'm making all NFTs, he projects to be the community manager for the team and he is creating a website for UniversSpace at the moment and he is bringing a lot of ideas, I have to sort it out each time !
And do you both get a say on the design of the NFT's ?
When I finish some NFTs and I show them to him, he tells me "Awesome !!" That's his way to participate in the design I guess
Ok so how many NFT's have you created so far ?
NFTs without counting rarities, around 50, but with all rarities, more than 250 that you can obtain trough blends
Wow and how long you working on this project ?
Around two months ago, I try to work everyday on some NFTs and add ideas to the project, more and more people gets interested, maybe we will have some music added to future NFTs from a collaboration I need to get a clear call from the artists !
Ah do you have any in mind ?
It's a contact that wants to promote some independent artists, and from what I heard already, it could go well with UniversSpace NFTs and the game atmosphere
Oh cool what kind of music ?
Something a bit "groovy" & futuristic . I'm already seeing myself in a space ship turning on the radio and hearing it on the space vibes
Ha ha ha how do you create your NFT's ?
I'm mainly using photoshop and inspiring myself from original space shoots !! But I project to use "after effect" a bit to bring more magic in my NFT's !
How long does it take to create ?
It depends a lot, but a few hours do the trick, I've have spent a whole 2 weeks to create Saturn's Moons & Magic Numbers (31 NFT's declined in 5 rarities with all blends)
Oh that's a lot what's your favorite you have created ?
This one is my favorite, just because we live on Earth & the Moon its what lights up our sky by night And every night I get a look at the sky to see the Moon from Earth !! What a beautiful thing .
That is a gorgeous NFT !!
Don't get me aroused
Il try not to lol . How is the NFT community liking your project ?
I get a lot of very enthusiastic reactions, and even a streamer-to-be (PeaceTV on our discord) on Theta.tv wants to share about the collection each time there are new packs with some openings. And like I said, some musicians will probably join in the adventure !
Wow that's great free promotion for the project . Have you any Collab's done yet?
Not yet, but I'm very open minded on the subject, and I'll try to reach The Cryptostache soon about the whole project and see what can be done in this way.
Is there anyone else you would like to work with ?
There is a little designer that I have in mind : Md designer on Atomichub We will try to work on characters together . We have already applied for an R-planet listing too. But to be honest I'm mostly focusing on all the aspects of the game from UniversSpace NFTs and how things can be done.
What about tokenheadz ?
Why not, it could be a great idea !
Any idea can be made for real ! And that's the kind of things I want from the community ! From Ideas to creations !
So feed back from the community is what you want ?
Sure ! It is even the main essence of the project
Where can the community find you ?
For the moment the community can find me on the discord dedicated to the project : https://discord.gg/RWEke3JtZp
What about twitter ?
Soon we will have a twitter and a website . We will announce it on the discord
You should try get twitter set up !
Ok, I'm contacting my friend that is in charge of this right now !
Brilliant .
https://twitter.com/UniversSpace
Do you collect NFTs ?
Yes, I try to collect some NFTs from each collection that suits me . I have around 700 NFTs from many collections . I think that creating, sharing and using this technologies can only bring good things for the future & allow us to see incredible things
That's some amount what's your favorite collection and technology will bring people together .
The whole decentralization will bring & empower people together !! I strongly believe in it. And I kind of like some Noacollector and graffiti.r2 NFTs, all this hero world looks awesome and these street arts are insane !
Yea I think graffiti.r2 came in with a bang
Yeah, maybe you'll see some of their graffiti on some walls in our game, who knows ?!
Oh interesting so you hoping for game where can visit areas with different artists artwork .
Maybe directly work with artists to put their work in Univers & Space game without it being a showroom. It could be any wall in a city that will look like these guys been there doing this graffiti !
Awh so it would be just a random design from an artist ?
the more you talk to me the more I have ideas now, pretty good On each design from any artists there could be a little "flash-code" that could redirect to the artists social links or others platforms . A good way to make everyone participate in the project and promote those who participate .
Like a tiny QR code
that's it ! that's what I was talking about with "flash-code" lol
How many worlds would you like to have ?
One for each planets already existing in the collection (9), for the Sun it would be an orbital city-station, and worlds dedicated for mining like Saturn's Moons & Magic Numbers (Numbers would be perimeters in asteroid belts)
Oh interesting and would you be creating your own crypto currency like TLM ?
It's something that needs to be discussed with the community, we can create our own currency but we can also use one already existing, depends what doors we can open and want to open .
Well if you were to create a crypto currency what would you call it ?
Zenonium
Why that name ?
Zenon is a name that was worn by some philosophers from the old Greece and doesn't that sound so cool ?
It does in all fairness
Thanks !
When is your next drop ?
The next drop should be scheduled soon, I need to finish some spaceships first to make a big drop with ships & NFTs that will grant access to "mining regions" when the game will be out
When would you like to have the game out ?
"{[( IF )]}" things go well, there should be one or two worlds accessible in alpha-test phase in 2 years and mining regions should be accessible too
This really is a long term project
Much more like a life project
Yea really is
And that's why I don't make any big crazy announcements on our discord, I'll simply post a road-map soon like said earlier and schedule drops, and I want to thank all the community that supported my idea & the project till this time, all the supporters & holders will be gracefully rewarded from what the game will have to offer
Of course .
Where you from ?
I'm from Baguette-land
"Taking his best French accent" "Eiffel tower ? do you know ?"
Ol la la la what part ?
In the south-west of Paris . Next to the "Bois de Boulogne" . It's a very green place a lot of nature in the city !
Oh I know nice and Boit but I know there south east
South east is very pleasant too
Can I ask how your family feel about your project ?
My parents are very supportive and are really happy that I finally came back to my artistic spirit. And my wife, even if she doesn't understand a lot about NFT's is always by my side
That's brilliant to have that support. Tell us something random about yourself?
To infinity and beyond ! Do what you believe in !
LOL
To be more serious, I'm practicing Rollerblade a lot ! Some extreme sensations riding trough the city !
What do you when your not working on your project ?
I'm taking some naps and chillin in front of a good tv series (like Altered Carbon for a good example for "the world" but a shitty ending lol) and trying out some new games from time to time.
What games ?
The last one I'm playing is Scavengers, the new game in early access on Epic Games if I'm not wrong . Looks a bit like Apex legends but different and of course Aliens World & R-planet with a touch of Koloboks
Haven't played koloboks
Very easy to understand and try, I try to send my koloboks on an adventure everyday, sometimes I get an NFT that I can stake on R-planet . You can even breed them .
Nice I must look into it . Any advice for new artists ?
Never give up, even if things seems frozen some times, just keep going, and your passion will out-pass any difficulties ! You'll make a lot of mistakes like I made and I'll make, but that's how you learn and that's how you make everything better !
Just 2 more questions
Sure, let's go
Any chance of a drop or competition for the readers ?
Yeah ! I have prepared something for the readers, a special link featuring a glimpse of the next drop ! "Here is the secret key" : https://wax.atomichub.io/drops/71401?key=5KiG2tFT4vhMKUca7iPWFT8FKLXcNN5qy99kW3vJrwnqJhR7zq9
