Story - part 1
The world trembled violently, as if the entire planet were naught but a plaything in some giant child's grasp. The mighty forest had stood for centuries, silently watching over the peaceful valley. Now, the proud trees strained against the howling winds, eerie groans and ferocious cracks echoing through the forest as their weary frames shrieked in protest. Volcanoes long thought dormant spewed vile ash and debris, oozing lava and decimating the once lush landscape. The sun struggled to penetrate the suffocating clouds of ash, turning the sky the colour of blood and bathing the world in an unnerving glow. The very air felt thick and choking, every breath heavier than the last. All around lay battered bodies. Friends. Enemies. Carnivores, Herbivores... none of it mattered now. He turned his gaze to the sky one last time. What little light the sun could provide was quickly fading. With every moment, impending doom grew closer and despair threatened to consume all. He began to close his eyes, accepting the inevitable. Just before all turned to darkness, something in the sky caught his eye.

Leonardo snapped awake abruptly and shook his head. As he prepared for the day, deep sense of unease took root in the pit of his stomach. He stared into the distance, chewing down his favourite breakfast of plant-based Dipl-O's without even tasting it. Leonardo was usually content to tidy and organise, forage for supplies and sleep. He was shy, rarely leaving the comforts of his den. But today, the more he tried to busy himself, the more he struggled to shake the feeling of dread that gnawed at his mind. That night, the dream returned. Choking, toxic air. The blood-red sky quickly darkening. Howling winds, fire and debris. Bodies everywhere.

CryptoDino

<div><div><section>This week’s guest on the Cardano NFT Column is a project building a Play-And-Earn (P&amp;E) game that’s reminiscent of Axie Infinity with some key differences: <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cryptodino_io">CryptoDino</a>.<a target="_blank" href="https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2023/01/28/cardano-nft-column-rogue-galaxies/">The previous guest</a> was a project building a Sci-Fi Roguelike MMO game with the story being driven by the community.This initiative is a point of reference for NFTs on Cardano and every week or two we will invite someone to answer some questions and give us an update directly from within the Cardano community.Considering that many of our readers are new to the crypto space, we will have a mix of simple and technical questions.<figure><img src="https://i2.wp.com/cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-1024x471.jpg" alt srcset="https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-1024x471.jpg 1024w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-300x138.jpg 300w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-768x353.jpg 768w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-761x350.jpg 761w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-450x207.jpg 450w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-195x90.jpg 195w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1-96x44.jpg 96w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT1_036-1.jpg 1189w" /><figcaption>Cardano NFT project CryptoDino is building a Play-And-Earn game</figcaption></figure><h3>Hey, glad to have you here. Please introduce your team, where are you from, what are your backgrounds?</h3>Thank you for having us. Our core project team is based in Poland and consists of Adam, Slawek, Bartek, and Zuza.<ul><li>Adam is a software developer from Warsaw and a co-founder of CryptoDino.</li><li>Slawek is also a software developer from Warsaw and the co-founder and CEO of CryptoDino.</li><li>Bartek is the co-founder and art director of CryptoDino, responsible for all the art in the project.</li><li>Zuza is the co-founder and CMO of CryptoDino and her tasks revolve around marketing and community management.</li></ul>Together, we are building an innovative and engaging project for all NFT gaming and dinosaur enthusiasts.<h3>What is CryptoDino? How does it compare to other breeding games like Axie Infinity?</h3>DinoLabs’ CryptoDino is an NFT-based gaming brand that appeals to both gaming and NFT enthusiasts. Comparisons have been drawn to Axie Infinity, as the properties of CryptoDino’s <a target="_blank" href="https://en.cryptonomist.ch/categoria/nft/">NFT</a>s are also utilized in gameplay. However, the key difference is that CryptoDino offers a more casual gaming experience, characterized by consistent, easy, and enjoyable gameplay that does not require high levels of skill or risk to advance. In contrast, Axie Infinity places a greater emphasis on player skill and offers a more challenging, multiplayer experience.The main objective in CryptoDino is to regularly check and maintain a virtual village, with minimal potential for error or loss when sufficient time is dedicated to the game.<figure><img src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-1024x341.jpg" alt="cardano" srcset="https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-300x100.jpg 300w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-768x256.jpg 768w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-800x267.jpg 800w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-450x150.jpg 450w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-195x65.jpg 195w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1-96x32.jpg 96w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT2_036-1.jpg 1500w" /><figcaption>Three examples from the CryptoDino NFT collection</figcaption></figure><h3>The general gaming community is very averse to NFTs and Play &amp; Earn. What is your strategy to reach even the most skeptical gamers?</h3>We understand that the gaming community may have concerns about NFTs and Play &amp; Earn, but our strategy is to focus on the core aspect of the game which is to make it enjoyable and fun to play. We believe that once players experience the CryptoDino Game and see the potential for earnings in $DINO, they will be more open to the concept of NFTs and Play &amp; Earn.Additionally, we plan to educate and inform our community about the benefits and potential of our NFTs in the game, and how they can enhance the gaming experience. We are also open to feedback and suggestions from our community to continuously improve the game and address any concerns they may have. Our goal is to create a positive and engaging gaming experience for all players, regardless of their familiarity with NFTs and Play &amp; Earn.<h3>What does the future hold? Where do you envision CryptoDino in 2, 5 and 10 years respectively?</h3>Naturally, the future of CryptoDino depends on various factors. But if we were to share our goals and wishes with you, here they are:In the next 2 years, we see CryptoDino continuing to grow and evolve, with new features and gameplay elements added to the game. We will also focus on expanding our player base and building a strong community of dedicated gamers. We aim to increase the number of players to create a more engaging and diverse gaming experience for everyone.Moving forward, in the next 5 years, we envision CryptoDino as a leading player in the gaming and NFT space, with a wide range of games and experiences available to players. We also see the potential for CryptoDino to expand into other industries. Our goal is to create a seamless, engaging, and fun experience for players, while also providing them with the opportunity to earn real-world value through their in-game actions.Finally, in 10 years from now on, we would love to continue to create new and exciting experiences for our players. We see ourselves as a catalyst for mainstream adoption of NFTs and Play &amp; Earn, and help pave the way for a more decentralized, open, and equitable gaming ecosystem for all.<figure><img src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-1024x432.jpg" alt="cardano" srcset="https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-1024x432.jpg 1024w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-300x127.jpg 300w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-768x324.jpg 768w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-800x338.jpg 800w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-450x190.jpg 450w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-195x82.jpg 195w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1-96x41.jpg 96w, https://en.cryptonomist.ch/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_InternaNFT3_036-1.jpg 1440w" /><figcaption>CryptoDino offers a more casual gaming experience as compared to Axie Infinity</figcaption></figure><h3>Thank you kindly for your time.

Meet your Author



This is Charlie Chang &ndash; I&rsquo;m back for my third and final week! Don&rsquo;t worry, this won&rsquo;t be the last you&rsquo;ll see of me though ;). Just an update, I&rsquo;ve been hiring people to automate my spreadsheet, there&rsquo;s been a few bumps and pauses along the way but I&rsquo;m trying really hard to get it done! Once it is, you can expect daily posts to recommence, hopefully, a blog and perhaps some paid exclusive content in the not-too-distant future!



Be sure to follow me and turn those notifications on!! Thanks and hope you enjoy the rest of this.



<a href="https://itsblockchain.com/top-3-upcoming-nft-drops-to-watch-this-week-23-to-29-august/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://itsblockchain.com/top-3-upcoming-nft-drops-to-watch-this-week-23-to-29-august/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out our recommendation list from the last week. </a>



<h2>NFT WORLD</h2>



We&rsquo;ve seen some pretty crazy things happen over the last week. MAYC had their surprise launch and reached 100m in sales in under 24 hours &ndash; making it the most successful mint to date. 0n1 Force has seen a retracement in its floor price &ndash; which, to be honest, was probably expected given the astronomical growth we saw. World of Women has been silently but steadily gaining ground as well. All around, the top blue-chip projects have continued to grow. To be honest, I haven&rsquo;t really been following the success of new projects that have come out. This is not to say that there&rsquo;s been nothing special, but just that I haven&rsquo;t had the time and/or interest to be expanding outside of my collection at the moment.



Personally, I&rsquo;ve been picking up AB pieces (here&rsquo;s some free alpha &ndash; look for the AB Factory projects with a low mint count, good art, and reasonable floor prices and pick some up and hold for at least 3 weeks). That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;ve been doing consistently over the last ~2-3 weeks. I did this with The Liths of Sisyphus a while back and that&rsquo;s doing quite well. I&rsquo;m also looking at Planets and some other pieces. 



Disclaimer: I own 1 Lith and 0 Planets.



Aside from this, I&rsquo;ve also been exploring NFTs on other platforms like Solana and Cardano. Personally, I&rsquo;m quite bullish on both of these blockchains and I think that there&rsquo;s enough space in the market for both to co-exist with Ethereum. If this is the case, then it&rsquo;s only logical to follow that their corresponding NFT platforms and projects should also be huge.



For Solana &ndash; I recently picked up a SolanaMonkeyBusiness (SMB) and I&rsquo;ve been looking into Solarians.



For Cardano &ndash; I&rsquo;ll list the ones I&rsquo;m looking at below.



Please do your own research before hopping into any of these. Personally, I think that top tier Solana and Cardano NFTs are less risk than bottom tier Eth projects &ndash; the reasoning behind this is that I have faith in the Solana and Cardano ecosystems and I think the NFTs built on those platforms with historical significance attached to their project will do well in the long run (e.g. SMB is the first NFT DAO on Solana). More free alpha &ndash; look for good generative art projects on these platforms.



<h2>The Sevens</h2>



<ul><li>Mint Date: 8 September 2021 AEST</li><li>Mint Time: 5AM AEST</li><li>Mint Size: 7000</li><li>Mint Price: 0.07</li><li>Twitter Following: 19700</li><li>Discord Following: 29494</li><li>Average Following: 23865</li></ul>I&rsquo;m honestly a little conflicted on this project. The numbers are astounding &ndash; especially given there&rsquo;s still one week left until launch. I think the project will do well based on this alone. The project also seems to have a fairly interesting road map &ndash; with cross-project collaborations, artist incubation programs, and the development and release of The Sevens DAO. My only reservation with this though is that I&rsquo;m not a big fan of the art. To me (and this is entirely my own opinion) I feel like the artwork is too derivative of 0n1 Force without the level of cleanliness that 0n1 has. I have no doubt that a degree of attention around the project is due to the success of 0n1 and as such a degree of hype has been the result of cross-pollination across audiences.



Still, I think that the project will mint out with a degree of price appreciation for a period before an inevitable correction. Whether or not this project survives will depend on how the team delivers on its roadmap. The project does have an advantage over 0n1 in that it&rsquo;s intending to implement a DAO structure in 2022 &ndash; something that 0n1 has not considered or announced yet. Overall, I&rsquo;m conflicted but interested.

<h2>SIPHER</h2>



<ul><li>Mint Date: 7 September 2021 AEST</li><li>Mint Time: 10AM AEST</li><li>Mint Size: 10000</li><li>Mint Price: 0.1 Eth</li><li>Twitter Following: 9030</li><li>Discord Following: 17966</li><li>Average Following: 13498</li></ul>It&rsquo;s not a secret that I&rsquo;m a big fan of utility NFTs and I&rsquo;m definitely a big fan of SIPHER. The project has brought on two Kyber Network Founders (great low-cap DeFi gem btw) as advisers and is a blockchain-based open-world game. I&rsquo;m not gonna lie &ndash; the goals set by this project are VERY ambitious. From an in-game ERC-20 token to an open-world gaming universe, living economy, customizable characters, breeding economy, and much much more &ndash; the developers have certainly set themselves a task and a half. What gives me confidence though is the industry experience the Kyber Network Founders bring, the great social numbers, and the public identification of the team members. A lesser team would&rsquo;ve remained anonymous given the over-the-top promises, but the fact that the team has come out publicly, and risked their own reputation and the reputation of affiliate projects, is something that I commend.



I&rsquo;m a dreamer and I believe in the grandiose dreams of others. That may be a fault but it&rsquo;s the reason why I choose to believe in this project. Remember &ndash; more than one blockchain game will make it. In fact, dozens of blockchain games will make it. Axie is the only clear winner right now and taking (healthy) gambles on the next top competitors is definitely not a bad decision. If you do choose to invest &ndash; just remember why you&rsquo;re investing. Like all gaming NFTs, the probability of you consistently flipping for a profit isn&rsquo;t that high. These projects inevitably see a reduction in their hype and a lack of interest in their growth. Their true value doesn&rsquo;t shine until their game is launched. This means two things: (1) if you&rsquo;re looking for a quick flip this probably isn&rsquo;t for you; and (2) if you miss out on mint there will most likely be another opportunity for you to pick something up at mint price on OS at some time in the near future.&nbsp;

<h2>RTFKT &ndash; Avatar Project</h2>



<ul><li>Mint Date: TBA</li><li>Mint Time: TBA</li><li>Mint Size: TBA</li><li>Mint Price: TBA</li><li>Twitter Following: 43,800</li><li>Discord Following: 8964</li><li>Average Following: 26,382</li></ul>The specifics around this project are unknown at the minute. I was initially a bit hesitant given the 5x disparity between its Discord and Twitter numbers. However, the fact that the project has secured $8m in funding via its recent seed funding round gives me a lot of security. Additionally, the project made $3.1m worth in NFT sales for its NFT sneaker collection in February this year &ndash; which was significantly before the NFT craze that has descended upon us. This project meets a lot of my benchmarks, that being: (1) proven track record and (2) community support. Approval from its investors (enough approval to invest 8m) is also a big plus. The project also has a great story line &ndash; being the epitome of NFT hype fashion. I&rsquo;ll be following the progression of this project closely.



The available details right now are:



<ul><li>10k presale &amp; 10k public sale = 20k avatars;</li><li>The owner gets lifetime RTFKT benefits; and</li><li>The owner will get the 3d model.</li></ul><a href="https://www.rtfkt.com/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.rtfkt.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Website</a>

<h2>CryptoDads</h2>



<ul><li>Mint Date: 8 September 2021 AEST</li><li>Mint Time: 7AM AEST</li><li>Mint Size: 10,000</li><li>Mint Price: 0.07</li><li>Twitter Following: 6389</li><li>Discord Following: 6731</li><li>Average Following: 6560</li></ul>There&rsquo;s nothing insanely special about this project. It&rsquo;s a new avatar project that&rsquo;s launching &ndash; this time based on dads that turn to crypto in the midst of their mid-life crisis. I think it&rsquo;s quite funny and the project has captured a fair share of its audience a week out from its launch. The merch is simple and aesthetic and the artwork fits its vibe. I&rsquo;m not sure if I&rsquo;ll participate in this project yet but it did draw a chuckle from me. Beyond this, the social numbers interest me as well.

<h2>Cardano NFTs</h2>



<ol type="1"><li>SpaceBudz</li><li>Coco Loco</li><li>Cardano Trees</li><li>unsigned_algorithms</li><li>CryptoDino</li></ol>That&rsquo;s all I&rsquo;m going to write on these for now. The space is still quite tricky given how new it is. Alonso is deploying on September 12th and the success of the above projects will be affected by Alonso&rsquo;s launch. I hold a decent bag of ADA so I will be allocating some of that into the above projects.



<h2>Concluding Notes</h2>



Look, recently the space has been a bit tough for me. The sheer volume of projects releasing is something that&rsquo;s become impossible to keep up with. It&rsquo;s getting harder and harder to sift through the trash from the diamonds. I don&rsquo;t really have much advice except to do your own research and trust in your convictions. For me &ndash; that&rsquo;s been trusting in dev teams that have performed in the past and focus on niches that have yet to be capitalized on. Generative art is a space that I&rsquo;ve been playing a lot of emphasis on. NFTs are revolutionizing the way digital value is perceived. There are sectors that are more prone to this evolution &ndash; the most significant of which, in my opinion, is digital art. Other sectors will be affected too &ndash; think gaming, music, and fashion. Avatar projects, to me at least, have been over-capitalized at this point. But the reality is that there&rsquo;s only ~200K registered OpenSea accounts. The majority of the crypto community has not ventured into this space yet so I wouldn&rsquo;t argue with you if you said that there&rsquo;s much more room for growth. Just make sure that if you are going into avatar projects, you&rsquo;re going into ones that have a good dev team and real potential.



Anyway &ndash; I hope this has helped some people! As always, stay safe and I wish you all the best &#128578;



P.s. if you got into Geometry Runners at the mint from last week&rsquo;s post &ndash; you&rsquo;re welcome.
