The Electrique Mutton project is meant to be built upon by the community, layer by layer. This includes expanding and detailing the lore, characters and faction interactions. Some core, already established guidelines include the compressed crew/gang/faction personality traits and the abbreviated intro lore. To join the world building project, you must purchase an Electrique Mutton NFT, which will give you access to the Discord channel.

“It all starts with an idea. I wanted to try something new and outside of my comfort zone. Sometimes it is more important to do what you are passionate about than worry about whether it will succeed or not. This is the beginning of this world and I hope others can enjoy and build on it. A major goal would be to see these characters become 3D models and avatars for a more Web3 centric experience. ”
