Still not dead A year have past, so what have we been up to…

With about a year since last one, it’s time for the annually “not dead post”, lol, hopefully there won’t be a 2025 Edition of it!

As we just updated the website a bit we thought to give a short informal rundown of what’s been going on and our current status. And with “we”, I mean “me”, Andreas…

About a year ago, as per the latest update, the comic was actually finished. There was just one little problem, Koji unmasked was not looking like the hero we imagined! (yes, that is an understatement and very diplomatic way of putting it!) And he only had his signature helmet and suit on for three panels of the first two pages, and for some weird reason those three panels had all slightly different looking helmets. So for the other 30 pages we where left with something that was so far off from our initial vision and no one on the Team could really say we would have been proud to release it as it was, especially not after already being a year “late”!

Huh, but how did that happen you might ask? Well, that’s a long, kind of funny and very frustrating story with a little twist that we might tell you one day. But to make a long story really short; end of the day it’s “our fault” as we should have been more “direct and efficient” in our communication.

Couldn’t have it though! So I took my designer OCD and went to town! And what was initially thought to be “re-work different dimensions of Koji’s appearance in a way that we can update certain scenes and pages to our liking.” turned out to learning the basics of 3D modelling and a several software along with it, all to finetune body shape, suit, helmet and face, making materials and textures, then rigging, posing and rendering out a new Koji for all panels in the whole comic!

And as I am also, as the rest of the team, just a regular guy juggling family and kids, full time employments and life’s must, this took almost a year, but a little while ago last TIER2 page revision was finally done!

Along side me have also our in-house animation magician Cody re-animated all the pages and once again done a spectacular job. And Nodezy is back neck deep in the code and contracts beasting out the last pieces of one hell of a dApp if you ask me!

Now we’re wrapping everything up and are getting close to have the NFT Comic ready for release, and with it our dApp 2.0 with staking, page minting, NFT marketplace and a little later the first KOJI minigame, and more…

We still will refrain from giving any more accurate ETA then “soon-ish” for launch though, but expect a longer and more thorough and official update when we get closer, meanwhile, jump in the TG and say Hi!
