Hello and welcome! I’m thrilled to introduce a new series of posts that will take you behind the scenes of Undra and explain how we are building this studio and game.
For those of you who don’t know me yet I’m Alex / @Sazerac_eth. I’m the director of Studio Decent, the team behind the game of Undra. If you’d like to subscribe to updates, either join the Discord, or follow us on Twitter.
Many of you will be joining us for the first time, maybe you’ve seen us on Twitter (@undra_game) or been to our website (https://undra.game). So here’s the nutshell.
We’re working full-steam ahead for launch, getting all of our artwork finalised and generated into the 10,000 different rooms that are going up for sale.
We revealed the first art preview this week!
You can also view this (with more story background) at https://undra.game/art.
Next week you’ll see a few more previews, along with something really special… The animated video versions 📽️ 🔥
As a rough hiring update, we’ve just passed at 20 people in the team
Roughly half are full-time, the rest are part-time / freelance. We have been very lucky with our full-time team, either folks were already freelancing and interested in a full-time role, or we managed to get some early warning out so that some could wrap up existing work and join us.
But for a lot of people, it’s just not feasible to quit a stable job and join a pre-launch team with only 2-3 months runway. That’s why our NFT launch is such a big milestone, it helps create the financial footing and runway we need to offer long-term permanent roles to everyone.
We’ve completed our pre-launch hiring so there are no open roles right now. We do have soft offers in place with a handful of great people, ready for after launch.
I’m looking forward to talking more about our post-launch goals, team structures, and hiring plans in a future post 🙂
The next 2 weeks are all about promoting the Undraverse content, getting players and fans into our Discord channel, following us on Twitter, and preparing for the best possible sale on November 4th! [Edit: December 1st!]
Our NFT launch is two weeks away, and next week I’m going to be sharing more about the art itself, the NFTs that will be available, and a peek into how we have been organising and generating them.
See you next time 🙌
