Who has Greg Hildebrandt teamed up with for the NFT project?
Hildebrandt’s main partners in the NFT are web3 Artist Fund and Heavy Metal Magazine.
In short, web3 Artist Fund is a blockchain strategy and branding company. Its primary goal is to bring as many iconic content creators into the web3 world as possible. Of course, founder Matt Medney is excited about his NFT partnership with Hildebrandt:
“In bringing that level of talent to the web3 gaming space, we wanted to explore a style that paid homage to his legacy while exploring something more fun, silly and just plain wacky. Rule The Mob brings together the best of Greg and showcases a collection of generative art that provides the framework to his own web3 universe.”
Heavy Metal Magazine also plays a key role in the development of the blockchain game. The publication has been thriving since 1977, supporting unique artists, alternate realities and SF creations.
On May 23, Greg Hildebrandt will unveil the storyline for Rule The Mob. Accordingly, more details will soon be posted on the game’s official website.
