Bringing together the worlds of digital asset NFTs on the blockchain and virtual reality (VR) for gamers could be very cool indeed. Now a new virtual reality pet NFT aims to merge the two technologies.
The metaverse is a hot topic in blockchain right now, but there are few examples to combine a VR metaverse with blockchain technology and NFTs.
Miami-based technology and video game studio Aexlab had launched its first NFT series as it looks to ‘plant its flag’ in the blockchain ecosystem.
The company which develops virtual reality (VR) experiences and applications from the ground-up has raised over S1M from its crowdfunding campaign on the Start Engine.
Its NFT drop, released in partnership with Metadrop, is a series of AI-generated 3D virtual reality pets, Vailiens, minted for players in the company’s tactical first-person shooter game, Vail VR. This game combes virtual reality technologies with social gaming – and NFTs
Vailiens are loyal pets to players in the Vail VR universe, who respond to players’ touch and commands gaining new abilities over time and making them more valuable to their owners.
Only 13,370 Vailiens are available to own or trade. On November 30th, 10,800 will be minted via live auction on the Metadrop platform.
The remaining NFTs will be reserved for early backers (1,500) and community development activities (1,070). Users buy the NFTs on Metadrop with ETH currency by auction when they are released.
The game itself is not a blockchain game, so it does not compare to other blockchain games, and has no peers.
