Could you kindly introduce yourself and the people who are behind NuNu Spirits?
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Hello, my name is Gabriel and I am the creator of Nunu Spirits. I am originally from the U.S. but have been living in Bratislava, Slovakia for something like 12 years.
I got into crypto back in the early ICO altcoin days, but my heart has always been set on making games. So,. myself and my co-founder, Marian, after working for other studios/projects for many years decided to start our own studio.
it’s a studio that celebrates collaboration and demands collective responsibility for the games we make. We have great culture, a super flat hierarchy, and an extremely high skill level.
which is super conducive to making games.
I can introduce some of our team too?
Reza/ DAOLaunch
yes please do!
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Marian Kuruc (COO/Cofounder)
is primarily responsible for game production and ensuring all projects meet deliverables and milestones with the utmost quality and on budget. We have a very balanced skill set between the two of us. He is more tech and I more creative based.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
we’d like to know who are the core team bringing the nunu vision to life
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Daniel Svonova (CTO)
he is an ex-YouTube engineer who is well versed in the latest tech trends. He is responsible for the continued growth/evolution of our in-house tech stack and provides a deep network for discovering the latest technologies.
Milan Gajdos (Legal/Financial Advisor)
is responsible for making sure our studio’s vision fits within the framework of all applicable laws and regulations. Milan has worked for VCs and banking institutions where his business savvy was honed into a fine tool to make sure our projects are well protected.
Daniel Radocha (Art Director)
has been working in the games industry for over 13 years. He enjoys sharing his passion for art by training young artists and experimenting with new technologies. Daniel has recently joined the Tater Games team to lead the art department and is excited to be merging two of his interests, games and crypto.
In total we have 10 developers (artists, programers, designers) working on the project.
Next? or have you something more you would like to know about me/us?
Reza/ DAOLaunch
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Clearly the team has some experience working in traditional games
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
all of us over 10 years
in core team is more like 12 min
one of our artists has 16!
we have been making games A LOT!
Reza/ DAOLaunch
Could you tell us more about your experience and your journey so far? What has been your highest and lowest points?
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Nice question
Building Nunu Spirits from the ground is so much fun. It started as just wanting to play a game and plant some trees. So many people have joined our community and the fact that this project is making connections between gameFi and real world actions means this project is bigger than just planting trees. I am constantly amazed with the growth of this project.
And the lowest, hmm, this is tricky. We could go back, I guess 3 years ago, when the game was being developed for mobile casual. We had soft launch to test marketing and saw extremely good market response but the gameplay wasn’t syncing with players and we couldn’t find a meaningful way to have our players actually plant trees in the real world so the project was put on hold. But, good things come to those who wait. With the rise in NFT games we found our way to let players participate directly in planting trees.
Games are tricky like that, many good games fail because the timing just isnt right.
Now is clearly a good time for this game. The community support shows it without a doubt
Reza/ DAOLaunch
The market wants what the market wants
for sure, you guys have done an awesome job at engaging your community
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
they are the best.
Truly
Reza/ DAOLaunch
Why should DAOLaunch users and our community get involved with you? Please list three reasons
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
too slow on the reaction
Nunu Spirits merges the joy of casual gaming with the earning capacity of blockchain and turns it into ecological action.
- DaoLaunch users get to have fun playing various games in the Nuniverse. (Games not found elsewhere in GameFi. Like cooperative games, party games, and more.)
- They will be able to collect and trade tokens and NFTs on the market. These NFTs are Fully 3D and can even be printed on home 3d printers. 🌳 And every NFT can become a real tree (they also boost your ability to earn rewards in game)
- They get to save our forests by planting trees all while playing and earning in the game. Collectively, we can battle the stigma that crypto can’t be green.
You mentioned the market wants what it wants but in this case they want to game and not feel bad about it.
oops forgot the number…
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
you found one of my favorite gifs
Reza/ DAOLaunch
Please share a little bit about your tokenomics, initial marketcap and vesting schedule for our users
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Sure let me grab the graphic.
Vesting is 20% at tge 3month cliff then 4.44% for 18 months.
Price is the same across all rounds.
We have a significant reserve for community and ecosystem incentives.
Lot of people ask why same price.
We did this with our partners on Dinox and were really happy with the results. It just feels more…DAO… you know?
Reza/ DAOLaunch
indeed
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
you can find more detail on our website and WP
Reza/ DAOLaunch
very nice and refreshing to seee
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
i think more are doing it these days. but yeah we would want it if we were looking to support a project
Reza/ DAOLaunch
it makes sense, especially for gamefi project where the community actually makes the product valuable
what do those incentives look like? can you give us some examples?
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
sure. We will run community quests so there is potential to earn out side of game even. This can also be used for ingame tournaments and special events.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
a reverse metaverse
nice
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Of course staking and voting rewards could call on this allocation.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
life back in the meatspace, u love to see it
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
thing about NFTs is the utility really comes into its full when you can find use outside the native ecosystem
we are looking for partners to swap NFTs and we will have game modes for guest NFTs to come play with us
who knows who will come hang out in the nuniverse some day
Reza/ DAOLaunch
very exciting stuff
Please share one thing you and your team have figured out but other projects in your space don’t seem to get.
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
The real world connection to the NFT…
I think that is the biggest one. Games we have seen so far all seem to rely on ever increasing users.
when you are creating things like trees this have tangible value out side of the game ecosystem
I think it’s really an important step for GameFi.
it doesnt have to be eco actions but that tether is meaninful
Reza/ DAOLaunch
that makes total sense
Please share about your partners and backers.
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
Metrix capital is our incubator they are legends for a newer outfit. They are perhaps the most honorable individuals I have worked with.
Magnus Capital were very early seed investors and offer continuous support.
We have so many other great investors it would take to long to mention them all.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
that is one hell of a shoutout
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
but they quickly saw the potential in our project and are looking forward to a project that is “doing some good”
it does feel good to plant trees.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
how many have been planted to date?
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
We are finializing our first 1000 tree order this week
Reza/ DAOLaunch
what are the types of trees?
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
we have tree partners that can support 8k seedlings monthly and others with even higher capacity in the works
all of our tree partners plant bio diverse.
Reza/ DAOLaunch
this is such a cool concept
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
this is crucial for sustainability and health of the forests
Reza/ DAOLaunch
play and plant
lol
Gabriel | Nunu Spirits
yep
it seems really simple
but there is soo much going on behind it
Greensteps is one of our key eco partners. you can read up on them on our blog
