The year 2142 AD A dystopian future controlled by corporations is shaken as the last bitcoin (BTC) is mined, and Satoshi Nakamoto’s long-dormant wallet is woken up and used to oust his control. . The physical, virtual and astral realms are all disrupted as Enthogen spirits, angels and demons fight it out while artificial intelligence (AI) battles the AI to free the conscious entities in the metaverse.
It is the scene-setter for an immutable token-powered (NFT) comic book project, led by an ambitious team of former game developers from Serbia. The Web3 platform combines the ever-popular collection of comic books with the world of NFT to establish the lore of a virtual tabletop RPG board game that is in pre-production.
Dusan Zika, CEO and COO of 2142, jumps straight to the premise of the project in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph. After working for 11 years as a copywriter and advertising director, ica switched to the world of video game development over the past seven years, before the idea of 2142 was born in late 2021.
Frustrated by the collection of copycats in the NFT realm, his team envisioned a gamefi comic book, in which users collect, collect and compile panels and pages of a 2142 AD comic book series, starting with its first volume, a To guide the course of progress and end of the story before participating in the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
Cointelegraph discovered the Web3 website to begin the process of creating and compiling the first edition of the 2142 comic book. Paying the gas fee gives users a small bundle of free, random NFTs, providing the first pieces of the comic book puzzle.
As Zika points out, users will need to purchase a total of 15 to 20 bundles to complete the first 34-page comic issue. These bundles may give the user two identical panels or pages, but ERC-20 NFTs can be bought and sold on 2142’s proprietary NFT Marketplace as well as on platforms such as OpenSea, enabling collectors to complete comics Is.
The first issue of 2142 AD will also feature random cover pages, adding to the unique collectibles of the comic books, which upon completion are molded into a complete, single NFT:
“We have different covers, which are based on random models, different characters and combinations. When you burn an entire collection of panels, you get an NFT problem. Because of that rarity there must be an inherent value to this issue .
Seasoned comic collectors are used to paying anything from tens to hundreds of dollars for the latest copy or rare issue of their favorite comics. A bundle of 21 NFTs will cost around $30 and users will need to acquire at least 15 bundles to receive an airdrop of a character, location, and object from the 2142 universe, which can then be used in the new, five-page spin-off. Off can be used to prepare webcomics. Based on user preference.
“In this way, we are really decentralizing and randomizing world-building, it is a new concept, and we are not aware of anyone doing this,” ica said.
These characters, locations and items are essentially pre-production part of the team’s long-term goal of creating collectible card video games and tabletop RPGs in the mold of Cyberpunk 2020, Cult and The World of Darkness. ica stated that the true value of NFT intellectual property will be realized and executed in a video game.
“We are in the process of pre-production of a CCG video game, as we all come from video game production backgrounds. This is going to be a big part of pre-production, it will help our community grow and our world-building. can help us grow.”
The 2142 team also wanted to avoid attracting NFT ‘flippers’ who have become part and parcel of the space, plunking down new digital collectibles in hopes of making big profits.
ica acknowledged that their Ethereum-based NFTs will be available on platforms such as OpenC – the same way that Reddit’s collectible NFT avatars were listed and sold for a premium on the popular marketplace.
According to the project overview, 2142 DAO members will be entitled to a revenue share in developing tabletop RPGs, CCG video games and animated series.
