Hello everyone! How’s it going? I just get vaccinated today and I’m feeling kind of great to start the week. Let’s get back to our weekly report. Our GMV increases from the prior week. We record $6542 in sales volume. On a side note, 2685 transactions happened last week. Our artists also minted 488 new cards for collectors to collect. These numbers are an improvement for the prior week. We thank the community for this week’s result.

The MTVRS NFT Drops are available for the public! Don’t forget that these cards are beneficial for players who’d like to hop in the metaverse. The unsold cards will be unavailable after the 25th of June 2021. Before that happens, go get the cards you desire!

We are ready to publish a new update regarding the platform around this week, therefore please watch for the news from us! Soon, we hope that we can bring more collaborations and creativity to the platform. We see a lot more cards minted this week, but we will try to bring 5 collections worth your time.

Unfortunately, we cannot list all the minted cards for this week, so we encourage you to discover others that are as good as this list. If you have input and suggestions, we welcome them with open arms and we want you to hit us up on Twitter or our Discord channel.

Doctor NEAR shows itself on Paras marketplace. Created by Samtoshi_F_Baby, Doctor NEAR makes his debut to the blockchain in this new series of digital art cards. Similar to Captain Ethereum, Doctor NEAR is a character derived from famous comic characters. According to the artist:

Doctor NEAR has been experimenting with the rainbow technology to bridge to the Ethereum blockchain in efforts to help Captain Ethereum regain control. And NOW, after months of preparation Doctor NEAR has finally obtained the power to bridge to the Ethereum blockchain and save the day! The evil Gassfee has no chance, the future is NEAR!

Following up its predecessor, Doctor NEAR comes in 4 variations of card: Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red versions. Each version has its pricing; the lowest is 1 $NEAR while the most expensive is 25 $NEAR. If you like comic book characters, these cards are definitely for you.

I honestly cannot stop looking at the cards from fictionspawn.near. It is creepy and breathtaking at the same time. The Invasion of the Worm Men gets an update from the artist. Now, Invasion of the Worm Men is a card collecting adventure game where your choices decide which cards you get. The cards vary from very high editions (especially for the spendable cards which should be burned in specific places to move on) to very rare editions of three and six copies. In each game, you are guaranteed at least four cards including the cover card and one of the end cards with a first edition rarity of 24–29 copies. If you decide to play again, there are other cards with even rarer editions to be unlocked if you find the right cards.

The game mechanics are quite simple. You buy the initial card The Worms Are Coming. On the backside of the card, you get two choices. You choose by putting the card out for sale either an odd (5,7,…999…) or an even (6,8,…998…) number of NEAR above the initial price of the cover card. Then you get a new card, with new choices.

If all copies of a card are transferred out, the artist will make new cards with new artwork and sometimes new twists to the stories. How about it? It’s cool, right? You can start by purchasing “The Worms Are Coming”. Let’s start playing the game and tell us immediately about the adventure you get on Invasion of the Worm Men.

Artbase.near comes to the platform by bringing new a new collection called “Talking Heads-Pentagon League”. The collection consists of three new cards: Mastermind, Psychic, The Magician. Each of these characters possesses powerful and unique powers. There will be 5 cards available for this collection. With the buzz coming from pixel art, will this collection get the same attention? You decide! Get to the Pentagon League!

How do you like your astrology? I like mine in a form of NFTs. Canned_mann.near publishes the remastered version of his astrology signs. The art in this collection is splendid. Each zodiac is presented differently from one another and it is perfect if you are an astrology aficionado. Unlike the previous version, the remastered collection has a new card called “Mystic Queen”. There are only 2 of these cards in the market, can you make it yours? Get your signs from Canned_mann.near now!

I’m a sucker for cute illustrations. Asepnurdinn.near brings out the range as an artist. After his collection called “illustration” which is filled with creepy imagery, the artist chooses to do the opposite of that by creating a “couple 2” collection. It seems to be a very simple premise; a happy girl and a “bad person”. I just wish the artist is willing to fill in the blanks through the description. Although, these cards are already speaking through their design. Who are you rooting for? the happiest girl or the “bad person”? I am rooting for them; as long as they are building a happy relationship of course.

That’s all for this week’s recap. How do you feel about these releases? I guess there will be a lot of cards to collect and collection that will put us on the edge of our seats. Go get the NFT Drops from MTVRS before it’s too late! I’ll see you next week. Cheers!

Paras Weekly Recap for the 20th of June 2021.

Catching Up with Paras #19

Hello there! Have you seen our NFT Drops with MTVRS? If you haven’t, you should sign the form now because what’s coming next in MTVRS platform is something that you want to enjoy fully.

How is it going everyone? Paras has been very busy apparently with events like NFT Drops and Card4Card. We witness a lot of enthusiasm and collaboration on our platform. We are utterly happy with the wondrous experience. Today, let’s take a step back and see the collections that you might miss!

Let’s get back to our weekly report. Our GMV increases from the prior week. We record $4794 in sales volume. On a side note, 2278 transactions happened last week. Our artists also minted 275 new cards for collectors to collect. Thanks for your excitement. We promise to get better!

“Big Robot Press” is a new NFT gallery and hub to drop new collections, available as digital art cards on Paras. Alexbobeda.near is a visual designer, illustrator and a pop culture addict. Big Robot Press represents pop culture characters that the artist fond of. These art are drawn with pastel brushes by Alex Bobeda; the designer and illustrator who created this new NFT outlet. The Series One lineup consists of 5 cards. For those who manage to collect all 5 cards, the artist will reward them with a bonus card.

The cards will drop every two days between June 14 and June 23 — each one in a very limited run, with different quantities

If you love your villains and enjoy pop cultures, “Big Robot Press” is definitely for you.

One of the most exciting event is here! Card4card is an event to celebrate artists creation and a small time collector. During the event, every artist in Paras can mint their cards under the same collection called: Card4Card. The idea is to make all these cards in a very low price, yet collector should only buy one of each card. The event is selling like a hot cakes. With a new card every day, the event seems to be such a blast for artists and collectors alike. I enjoy the event very dearly. If you have participated in Card4Card, why don’t you share what you have bought for yourself?

What’s not to enjoy from bright neon collection? Drewmarpa pleases our inner need of psychedelics by releasing “Psychedelic Series”. The series not only include a character that looks like Dr. Manhattan, but it also releases an enigma and a faceless character. The greatest catch of this series is the artist’s ability to conjure different unique images and accentuate it with psychedelic theme.

Pose is iconic. Pose defines characters, themes, and tones of a series. One of my favorite character pose is coming from Ginyu forces in Dragon Ball series. When I see “Garrid Universe” collection, I know it’s something that I immediately adore. Garrid comes into Paras and releases three characters from his universe. “Feel the Toxin”, “Feel the Blindness”, and “Feel the Silence” are three first cards under this universe. The artwork is splendid. From the costume, pose, color and facial features, I think it is very unique and exciting to see. I personally can’t wait to see how the collection will turn out in the future, especially with such a superb character design.

“Ancient Odyssey” sounds like an epic tale of a voyage with multiple findings and changes of fortunes. That’s what I picture when I see the “Ancient Odyssey” collection from Connoisseur_dane.near. The tale tells a story of 5000 years after the vanishing of a goddess. The world has shifted into the worst when the one who steers the wheel of balance left it. The story starts with a prophecy that someone will inherit her power one day. What will happen to the land of Zoi? Who is the person who gets the Goddess’ power? Let’s find it out by collecting “Ancient Odyssey”!

That’s all for this week’s recap. How do you feel about these releases? I guess there will be a lot of cards to collect and collection that will put us on the edge of our seats.

We also would like to remind you that our NFT Drops with MTVRS is still on-going, so get yourself a whitelist and get an ultimate discount for each cards. Remember, there are more collections to come. There will be more artists to look out for. Cheers!

Paras Weekly Recap for the 13th of June 2021.

Catching Up with Paras #18

On the 13th of June, Paras held an AMA event with Isaac Misa from MTVRS. We and the community ask several questions regarding “The architect’s devices” and how the project will go moving forward. Isaac joined our Telegram group as the solo interviewee whilst our community manager, Andini became the host of the event. This event is also part of the NFT Drops from MTVRS on Paras. If you haven’t signed the form, you can sign it here: https://tripetto.app/run/2OGYWACAC6

If you miss the AMA, do not worry! We record all the chat logs and you can read it before the NFT Drops starts.

Hop into MTVRS and hop to all the games!

Andini: Hello everyone! Thank you for joining us today at the AMA with MTVRS. For those who may not know me, I’m Andini and I will be the host for today’s event.

We will have a one hour AMA, all in text and have 2 sessions.

1st session: Isaac from MTVRS team will answer the pre-screening questions. All chat will be muted.

2nd session: everyone can ask questions they would like to know & Isaac will answer them

Stay tuned everyone! Let’s start today’s event!

Let me share a brief introduction about Metaverse aka MTVRS, it is a platform where you can discover worlds and play blockchain-powered games.

MTVRS has launched the first series of collectibles “The Architect’s Devices” which connects the MTVRS world together. Don’t miss the chance to get whitelisted on the NFT Drops by filling in this form: https://tripetto.app/run/2OGYWACAC6. You can get a special discount for the card you want to own.

Before we begin, let’s welcome Isaac Misa! Please say hi to our community!

Isaac: Hello everybody!! Pleasure to be here and answer any questions you have on the MTVRS!

Andini:Let’s begin with the first questions! How does MTVRS start? What makes you and the MTVRS creators to form MTVRS?

Our dream was small in the beginning, we wanted to create an app for Metamon where we can attach logic to NFTs in order to enable blockchain games & experiences like surprise pack redemption and evolution.

And our ultimate goal with Metamon is to build a video game where you could use the NFTs and battle other collectors to win prizes. So we started building our app and we quickly realized that what we are developing can benefit a lot of artists and developers looking to create blockchain-powered experiences and games. And if we were to work with them, we can build something much much bigger and more attractive to players & collectors. That’s how MTVRS was born!

We’re now collaborating with amazing artists to create good quality content (games/experiences) and working with them to develop a template of tools they can use in their creation process. On the other side of things we’re collaborating with devs on both mini-games and the Metamon video game to showcase the possibilities of integrating blockchain assets into web and mobile games and through that we will release an API for anyone to integrate blockchain assets into their games.

Andini:Cool! Even though it started small, it gives us something we can look forward to.

Isaac: Definitely! A lot more to come :)

Andini: Next, what kind of content do you allow in MTVRS?

Isaac: We don't have any constraints on what type of content you can create, in fact we leave it open ended for our creators! We're writing custom contracts for each game depending on what features the creators want in their game. For instance some creators want to modify the contracts to allow for a CYOA card game or different mechanics for combining NFTs together and so on. After the first 25–50 games on our platform we believe we will have a wide enough set of rules, logic and economics that any new creator on the platform can use simply.

Andini: I see. So there's no restriction for now, correct?

Andini: As a new player in the game, what is your recommendation to be played first and why?

Isaac: It depends on what you like! Metamon was created for ppl like me who love Pokémon and Digimon :P If that’s not something you enjoy, that’s OK! We have a bunch of different games coming that I am sure you will find your match!

At this point you can start hunting Metamon through surprise packs and unlocking rarer versions of them through evolution! Over the next weeks, we will release new games and features that will add more fun and excitement around the games.

Andini: Seems like fun! I will definitely recommend Metamon to some of my friends who like Pokémon and Digimon, and of course the other games included. Probably Afiq lol.

Andini: Since you name it Metaverse, what can we expect from the games released on your platform? How are they connected to one another?

Isaac: Our vision is to create a real metaverse where we can take one asset from one game and have value in another. The first metaverse feature we will release will be earning tokens in one game that is redeemable in another, there are interesting DeFi elements to that, we’re still working on it so more details will be available with our whitepaper. Connecting the world is one of the most exciting challenges in our opinion!

Andini: How will MTVRS develop its features in the near future?

Isaac: Our core team is hard at work to develop new features like upgrades to UI/UX, leaderboards for games, a P2P marketplace, Play to Earn mechanisms, and more!

The Paras NFT drop along with the HumanGuild team is helping support our development, enabling us to grow our core team and work with more developers and artists to build games.

Please reach out if you’re interested to join us in any capacity :)

Andini: There everyone, if some of you are interested in helping the community in MTVRS, you can reach out to Isaac directly.

Isaac: Yes, reach out anytime through telegram or on our Discord!

Andini: Probably this is one of the most awaited question, especially since this one is related with the NFT Drops that will start in June 16th. Do you mind telling us more about the benefits of “The Architect’s Devices” for the community as the MTVRS first NFT Drops?

Isaac: For sure! “The Architect’s Devices” are designed to give utility to collectors and showcase a new type of NFT where you can unlock value beyond the asset itself!

Each has unique perks which may never be found/created again and will allow players to have a more engaging experience on the platform across games. Learn more about them here: https://www.mtvrs.app/collectibles. The proceeds from the drop will go to support the core team, the artists and game developers to bring our games and features to you faster!

Andini: OK! The above question marks the end of the session. Now, let’s move on to the 2nd session! Are you ready Isaac?

Andini: All of you can start dropping your LIVE questions here. Please ask something that you want to know, Isaac will guide you to the light & answer them!

Community |Bolia664: Too many projects promise magic but never release any working product or prove any revenue, Within a short/long time of release. Is it like this? If not can u tell us, What makes it different from other projects?

Isaac: This is something that many of you have addressed in your questions. There have been many scams out there in the crypto world, and that’s something so unfortunate because it reflects badly on all of us. The MTVRS team is here for the long-run, we’re committed to building something that you can enjoy and trust. As you see, we have already released the first version of our platform, and we are committed to continuously build it to be better. Over the next weeks and months you will see more features and games coming out, we are also releasing a whitepaper to showcase our long term plan and commitment to you.

Community | Yunothinh: What is PROJECT’s revenue model? In which ways do you generate revenue/profit?

Isaac: A lot of people have asked about this. Our revenue model for now is a rev share transaction fee on every game. We take a % fee on every transaction that will account between 5–10% depending on the level of contribution we have to make to support the development of the game. More details will be available on our whitepaper.

Community | Lucy6555: How do you plan to spread awareness about your project in different countries where English is not spoken well?"

Isaac: This is a very important question as we’ve experienced first hand how we need to have documentation and support for other languages. Especially supporting languages from Asian markets. In the short run, we will make sure to provide documentation in several languages. In the long run our app will have the ability to change language. Please do reach out with the language you want us to support so we include it in our plan.

Community | tony05019: Your project has great features. There must be an experienced team behind. Can you tell some about your team and their experiences in the market?

Isaac: Our team is comprised of experienced developers who previously worked in the core team of the Aion protocol.

Community | Kandooob: NFT is a very hot trend now, do you pretend to catch up with this trend or still follow and focus on your original roadmap? create values, not create TREND!

Isaac: We aren’t shaken by ups and down trends as we believe that NFTs are here to stay. Gaming is one of the biggest opportunities to disrupt and we are building the platform that will enable the transition of gaming into a market where you can unlock real value by playing instead of just winning static assets. The vision Is to ultimately be the platform where these gaming assets live.

A lot of questions that I’d love to answer, please join our Discord and we can continue the discussion! https://discord.gg/wSNk3ktahF

Andini: Since 5 questions are already answered, we will end today’s AMA. We really appreciate all of your enthusiasm and questions! For the first 5 selected questions, we will contact you personally.

As mentioned by Isaac, if you still have more questions about MTVRS, you can hop into their social media platforms:

- Discord channel: https://discord.gg/wSNk3ktahF

Stay tuned to Paras’ Twitter @ParasHQ for more upcoming updates & projects!

Isaac: Thanks Andini for hosting, and everyone for asking your questions!

Andini: Thanks to @therealspaceoddity as well for spending your time with us, it was nice talking with you in today’s AMA :) Bye all!
