Getting Started with NFT | Personal Entry No. 1

Honestly, I have no idea how this goes. We have a friend whom he and his team have successfully launched this awesome NFT collection of aliens and humans. The art is just superb! And people just love how the story and entire concept go!

We couldn’t be any more proud of this guy! And so he encouraged us to do the same…

He wants us to create our own NFT. Our own project. Our own cause. But I have no idea how NFT works. Why does it even exist?

So, I did a little research. Not to say I know much but I think I get it a little bit.

At first, I was excited to try something totally new (not to mention, the kind of profit it will bring LOL). But the more I dwelled about NFT, I realized it’s not just about art or a game.

It’s like creating something that is one of a kind. A new DNA. An entirely new species. Am I even making sense here? LOL

The best thing about NFT is that it creates such an impact both in the digital space and in real life. I was personally thinking of using it for charity or creating organizations in real life that can help the environment and people on a large scale. But I guess that’s just the gullible me talking. Who knows?

There is still so much to learn about NFTs. I know this isn’t just ‘some art’. It is and will be capable of so much more.

NFT Creation | Entry No. 1

In this blog series, I’ll try to document my thoughts and our action plan as much as I can. So, if it becomes a success, I’d have something to happily look back and read while sipping the best coffee somewhere nice. If it’s a bust, then I’d still happily look back at this and … well, at least we tried, right?

Brainstorming.

This phase sucks. Because we’re stuck.

We got a team name. I think we have a good look at how our characters are supposed to look like. Now, we’re stuck in the lore.

Honestly, we already have a good prologue. All there is left to do is think about what to name the factions and leading characters and all that. We plan to make our NFT story driven with the focus on surviving the ever-changing environment in the new world. Or at least that’s what I think about it.

So yeah, we’re stuck. Tell me, are we doing this wrong? We have been so focused on the story that we’re forgetting all other aspects of creating NFT (and not to mention, THE ART!!)

As much as we want to deny it, first impressions will be on the art. And boy, do we want a good impression!

There’s also marketing. And the financial plan. And the website. And Discord? And how on earth are we going to connect this to the blockchain? I have NO IDEA.

Team Dynamics

When it comes to the team, we all have something to say. We have no common ground. I was barely friends with them in the first place. So, this was either going to be a burden or an advantage.

Either way, working on our dynamics has been one of the challenges. But I think this is something we can fix with a little open communication (which is still difficult since we’re in that civil-i-dont-wanna-say-something-not-nice-so-i’ll-just-shut-up phase)

With all these frustrations and confusion in the initial phase or, basically, attempts to create our own NFT, what can we do to get out of this hole? How can we move forward?

For the nth time, I HAVE NO IDEA.

P.S that photo there is our so-called “Headquarters” which is kinda cool and one of the members is an excellent cook. Happy to say there is still some silver lining to this…

Here’s to hoping!
