We are out of COF.
Our PO is deserted.
No one is working.
The devs may want to just retain a digital artist(s) and have them produce a starter set of pieces and from there just produce the art as demanded, ‘commissioning’ an original piece costs $X and is exclusive to the commissioner for say 1 year, then it is available to all with Pro, can pay more to get the original work sent to your home/framed. In this way the collection can grow at market demand, the devs and artist can get a slice of profit, the commissioner gets to be big dick on campus for a while, and the commitment to absolutely no MTX is retained. Of course, I have no idea the economics for such a retention and it may be completely impossible. These pieces could also be the previously mentioned NFTs, I suggest PrUn retain the NFT rights but sell a single signed print to the commissioner, then after a year put it in the Pro catalogue, make say 100 unsigned prints, and sell the NFT and prints to the community in the shop.
By no means is the buff building a ready to ship idea, but there’s some there there. The big focus to me in this conversation is more about how much demand can their inclusion drum up for the input materials, the output is all about making the use of those input materials economical enough so the demand gets drummed up in the first place.
