Yeah, I'm hype. I'm hyped to learn more about baby Pepe's. I'd to finally speak to I think it's Tom behind the account right now, right? Yeah, that's me. Nice to meet you, man. Hello, how you doing? Very good.
Oh I see hunts creeping around and fixing it. Hi guys. It's always nice to hunt around. Did you guys speak about the power up yet? We hinted at it.
Yeah, we'll let people filing, we'll let people get relaxed, get yourself a drink, maybe get a sandwich, hunker down, and we'll give you the heartbreaking news when you're ready. Oh man. You're adding oil to the fire right now.

I was just saying I can hear the excitement and already I don't think I've heard him happier
Yeah, but again, thank you so much everybody who's popping out and showing support for baby Pepez. It is like exactly like Junshi said it has been a long time coming. We've talked to Hans before we've had invalid up on the stage from team naked and you know we we
We know all about Hans, we love Hans here, and you know, Fangying loves Hans, and Baby Pepe is just another example of great artwork and really great direction. I can't wait to get the discussion started talking with you, Tom. Thanks again, thank you so much for being here.
Absolutely proud to be on your guys' stage. I love the Fang Gang and I love the pixels that Hans put together for you guys because he's a beast.
Absolutely. He is a beast.
100% you already know on this space
All right guys, I think we have enough people to at least get the ball rolling. No. Yeah, go for it. Yeah, and I wanted to say also leave your questions in the comments.
comments of this space. Normally we just hype it up there with other traits and stuff like that, but if you're not comfortable coming up on stage, feel free to leave some questions in the chat here.
more than anything. Again, Junxi, thank you so much for reminding. If you guys have a question but you're not comfortable speaking on a public platform like that, there's no need to feel like you can't participate in the discussion. You can go ahead and tag me @lunally. I'm the host usually for these fangames spaces by the way guys. Thank you so much for joining us. Again, if you have a question, Eric,#
If you are comfortable with talking, if you want to talk to Extreme Tom from Baby Pepez or if you want to say something about Hans' artwork or even just come up and say hello, everyone is more than invited to do so. But yeah guys, we're going to get the ball rolling and started right now. Thank you so much for joining us on this, wow, on Wednesday of the 19th
I really want to thank you guys for joining us live because we're getting the chance today to talk with the creative minds behind the upcoming project as you already know, Baby Pepe's features artwork from none other than one of my personal favorite pixel artists in the web 3 scene, Pixel Hans, and he's
community when it comes to baby pepies. When? We're all pressing that when button guys and yeah. I'm super excited to be here though. Once again guys I'm your host Lunali. Thank you so much for joining us live. If you are not here live here, every night here with us live. However the spaces are always recorded for everyone's convenience.
If you guys wouldn't mind retweeting and liking the space now, some more people can get the word out. That would be fantastic because we want as many people to know about this project that is upcoming. They've been playing their cards close to the heart in terms of when they're releasing. But we have them here today at Talk and it's really exciting guys.
Let's not forget about the yellow housekeeping. I swear I will do this super fast because you already know the big thing coming up next week is Fanguang's rocket shop experience at the non-fungible conference in Lisbon. Junshi already shared it up on the jumbo tron above and if you are not here listening live you can go check the pinned tweet on the Fanguang account
and you can see what all the hard work has been going on into putting this experience together as it goes live a week from tomorrow. So yeah, while there won't be a, this is the announcement right now guys, this is a big alpha that means there will not be a thing out spaces because Junqi and Pekka and the team are going to be busy. So we decided
to give everyone the week off for the fang out spaces, but you know you can always count on looney to come through. You can keep more info out. You can keep an eye out for more info as we come closer next week, next Wednesday. I have something exciting for you guys to participate in, but yeah, as always guys, the fang game reply guy syndicate is the initiative to
support any and all fanguying content here on twitter. If you're interested or if you post anything like that, please DM me or the main fanguying account to be invited. As well as more presents on twitter, you can also stay up to date with all the upcoming projects and announcements that are coming out from @AUU Studios. Of course they brought you Pixel fangsters, they brought you
PixelFan Collection and they brought you the main FANGANG collection, Wild Fangs, all that good stuff guys. However, if you are present on other aspects of social media, you can check out FANGANG's presence on Instagram @FANGANGNFTs and @WLDFNGZ. That's Wild Fangs. And yeah, guys, last up on the housekeeping list is
If you want to join the Fangame Discord account to keep up with the community and all the latest developments, that is the Discord server, the link for that is discord.gg/fangame. That's all the housekeeping for me. That's usually how we start these sessions off. We really have, that's really just the way to get people in before we get
the real discussion started. So once again guys, thank you so much. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments. And yeah, let's get the ball. Oh, I almost forgot the baby Pepe inspired traits that we published on Newfax City. I'm going to go ahead and share that. I'm going to go ahead and share that to the jumbo
Tom from BabyPepase. Thank you so much for joining us. Hello, yeah, thanks for having us once again. Yeah, super excited to actually start talking a little bit more about the project. I mean, it's BabyPepase, right? Ask your questions. I think it's probably a good way to approach this. I can tell you, I can
guess how the project started, but that side of it's kind of obvious. So instead, I'll tell you why we decided to work with Hans. So I don't know how many of you are aware of Hans' backstory in the NFT space, but the way I met him was actually through someone stealing his artwork.
So he's actually the reason I got into the NFT space because I saw some of his artwork and I thought that's an amazing project and I bought the NFT. That's what I ended up learning how to build NFTs because I reversed and engineered that. But then later on I found out that it was actually stolen from him and it went through a whole legal process.
process. I don't know how much he wants to talk about that. But yeah, I got to know about Hans and I really wanted to build something with him because he's the one who got me into the NFT space. And that's kind of the backstory, I guess the deeper backstory behind Pepe's other than Pepe's are awesome and Pepe's are memes and Pepe's are life so Pepe's
the B-Pepa lore runs deep I hear. I really remember that whole event. I would say at this point it's an F.E. history. It's something that has got to be put in the books, right? Yeah, it is with though. I don't think many people
I don't even know about it because I unless they're like proper old OGs like way back in 2021 slash 2020. Yeah, early 2021. I think it was even pre-bored 8 actually. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah. Yeah, so that's like crazy long time ago. And you know, the space is kind of done.
a whole new injection of people since then who no idea what we're talking about. Yeah, starting before people all over here. I don't mean interrupt anything, but people stealing pixel art and then a rugging. Oh no, that doesn't sound like anything.
Yeah, it's been a tough couple days really. Yeah, but I mean, if you've got any questions, fire away is probably the best way to go about this. Anything you want to tell me.
Absolutely, and again, I don't mean to cut you off. It's just like usually I like to like we like to start off the discussions and I like to start by asking really what like the really the whole the whole genesis of the project was and I'm glad that you started off with how you met Hans really because again that
that's really how this whole journey in your NFT story started. And I think that's great, you know, but to, to, if your guys aren't familiar with Baby Pepez, if you're just joining us now, not even a full month ago on May 2nd, the first teaser of the project was published on the main account, and that's the Baby Pepez
I'm not mistaken right with the clown face. Yeah, yeah, oh actually whilst we're doing this do you mind if we if we bring up Hans and Link as well because I don't want to be answering stuff for them. Absolutely. Oh yeah, I always take an opportunity to get hands up to speak.
Yeah, I was gonna say I've heard that's rare in the past. Yeah, so I've invited up Hans and where's the link?
I just want to
what one to know that we don't cover here by all means please don't be afraid to ask but of course we've got Hans and we got Link joining us up on stage now if you guys want to say hi hey how's it going hello it's been a while you're going mate hello hello
as I live in breathe it is hot again talking again I don't know how rare it is now guys I'm too pretty with writing them up and getting them to speak now totally joking but uh link how are you doing today I'm not gonna ask cons because I want to put them on spot but how are you doing link uh yeah good good I apologize if I'm if I'm delayed
uh... first-based tense not to treat me very well but like yeah we're doing good we're doing good you just staring at baby pathways and discord all the time which you can't really get much better so yeah good you can't feel the jet hobby yeah yeah it takes up a lot of time
And again, if you guys want to, we've already spoken on Hans' role. Of course, if you look at the collection, you can kind of see that I've said this line exactly before in the space that we did with Team Naked, but really any collection that involves Hans' work
you can see his personality bleed through it. So of course you know that ponds behind the artwork but if Link Tom if you guys would just want to fill in everybody in who's listening on your roles of the project I think they'd be really interested to hear what's how you guys are manning the ship
Yeah, sure. So I'm writing the salinity contracts for the whole thing. We can get into a little bit more about that because we did actually have something lined up that we decided not to actually add to baby Pepe's in the end. Possibly slightly controversial that you guys might be interested in. That's Hannah Blink.
Yeah, I'm done to very little I just I just said discord and cheer everyone on and say you're doing great and then every so yeah
I mean, we all need those words of positivity and those affirmations sometimes. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice. Direct to advice.#
We appreciate it every time we get to have like a team that not only we resonate like with like the artwork or we resonate with the idea and oh shit, there's pack of So did you become a slow-up but but yeah like we it's a pleasure always and again like
Thank you for taking the time to join us. It really means a lot. And I'm sure people have tons of questions. It seems like there's a lot of traction behind baby Pepez less far. And yeah, I guess we can talk more about that once Pack is those. Hello, if you want to. Yo, can you hear me? Yo, what's up?
Yo, what's going on man? I'm driving first time doing spaces while driving so bear with me Everyone okay. Yeah, hey man eyes on the road. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah trying to do that you know modern cars have
a way to speak without having your hands on the phone that's what I'm using. Wow, right. Oh, was that road rage pack guy here? No, how are you gonna hit emojis? How are you gonna hit the 100s while you're driving? That's what I'm trying to figure out right.
now. I need that updates over here. It's you got to use voice commands now. But again, stay safe, man. Eyes on the road and don't feel like we're if I if anyone puts on the spot, you don't have to talk, right? Stay safe. No, that's fine. All right.
That's what I was talking about.
I really feel as though having baby Pepe's here is great because like you said, the way that we're going to find out more about this project is we ask the questions. So, you know, if again, if we could get like the ball rolling on that, because I really do want more people to know about this project. I think it's super cool that our work is great.
you know, for the information that we have now, I would want to know, I would just want to ask, sorry, I'm so sorry, I thought I rug there for a second. Wonderful. So again, like the specific inspiration for like the project, you guys already said, like, you know, it's obvious, like,
memes, the memes birth themselves and I think baby Pepe is a great image to have for Pepe, especially all things considered that have happened this year. But again, was it simply born out of the memes or was there a greater desire to collab with Hans and get something off the ground? If I may ask you guys.
Yeah, sure. So, um, funny enough, I actually poked hands to start working on something together right at the start of the, of the ordnance movement. And he fired off a complete collection to me and said, I've had this on a back burner for basically two years, let's do something with this.
So a bit of alpha here for you now is when I first got into ordinals, this is sub 10k sub 20k in terms of the inscription IDs, I actually put, I think it's 10 or 20 of these PFPs that we haven't released as a project yet.
to Bitcoin and we're still looking to figure out when the best time to actually launch that project is. Whether it's going to be on Bitcoin or go straight to Ethereum and give out those ordinals either as like a freebie or something to mint as we don't know yet but we have them and they're pretty valuable.
as it stands just to Ordnall's. But then we started to play around with some other stuff and then we just actually played around with some ideas with Pepe and this was actually before I believe the Pepe coin launched and it just happened to be very serendipitous of everything coming together.
perfect timing with Pepe just moaning as in the token like moaning. Our original plan was to launch a thing, let me just check my calendar here. My original plan I think was to launch on the 8th of May, might have been the 15th camera but we had some personal issues
We didn't want to push anyone because an unhappy team is an unproductive team. We want everyone to be chill and be able to work under their own speed and do the best work they can. So we pushed it back. Now we're ramping up for the launch again.
We dropped a teaser, letting people know there's going to be 20,000 of them, which some people have been like, "Ust way too many." But the whole idea behind this project is extremely low-minced cost. So it's like 0.0069, which is like $13, $12, $13.
And the idea is we're building these to share. Like flip them, burn them, give them to friends. We don't care. Do what you want with them. There's 20,000 of them. They're so unique.
there's so many random combinations, there's literally something for everybody, throw them into memes if you want. Do what you want with them. Share them, love them, the arts amazing. And that's the whole idea behind this project.
Oh man, and again, I think it's super evident in the fact that you guys have really not... Again, I'm talking specifically on the fact that you really put emphasis on making sure that the team comes first. I think that's super evident in the fact that the only question that you have now is, of course, people know the
like worth collecting. And I think that's exactly what you guys are doing, which is huge. The previews that have been posted thus far have been really exciting to see, as again, it demonstrates Hans' ability to put his personality in the designs and in the animation. And of course, the consideration that goes into
each one, it can't be done without the code. I believe that's where you come in, right Tom? Yeah, so you're saying about Hans putting himself into these. You can see it throughout the whole collection. It's insane. The sneak previews that we're sharing
all the little teasers, they're nowhere near the best that is in the collection. Like nowhere near. There are some seriously weird ones where you look at them and you know we're thinking what the hell, put it out there, someone's gonna love it and there's some insane ones that I personally love that I really want. And I'm thinking yeah other people can love those two
So there's some super clean ones that I'll give a bit of out. There's a chat. There's basically a chat asset within this, a chat trait, which is hilarious. We haven't given any teases of that away, but people are going to love it. It was actually Link's idea to put the chat into this collection.
But it's going to need that. It's going to be amazing. I can't wait to see that. Yeah, it's so good. But in terms of the amount of time and effort being put into this is, as you said, with the code, what we ended up having to do is we built like a rendering system so we could render out, you know, we've literally
looked at tens of thousands of combinations of pepies to make sure that things are pixel perfect. Like, I mean, we literally go through them and like, Hans and I are like, oh, that pixels out. Okay, that pixel, there's a, there's a, what we call, there's like a rogue pixel here. And so we have to go to the whole collection
do another round of rendering just to make sure we corrected the mistake. So obviously it's kind of a combination of art and obviously the code to produce all these renders and randomize the whole thing and then obviously do the salinity contracts. So yeah, it's a lot of work, but it's fun, it's really fun because these are hilarious.
I think the fact that you guys are having fun doing the work, it is really bleb through into the preview images as well. I'm sure there's intention behind like, "Oh, we have to make sure that these traits are really liked the
The long preview that you guys did the baby Pepe and Zelda collab and again because like you can tell that there was fun that was had and designing it and I'm sure every piece in the collection it will seem like that
Yeah, Hans has done an amazing job. I mean, like Hans, do you want to come up and speak to your own work rather than me, like chatting it up? Because it's great stuff. You should definitely be taking the credit for this.
Yeah, I don't know what I should say. It's so modest. That is big itself both times. That's absolutely true. See how much of a legend you are. Thank you, thank you.
So I don't know, we decided to basically double the trade number at some point and that's when some really weird combination started to get out. Yeah. That sounds great. I don't know if it's saving.
He's massively understanding himself. Basically, when we started doing the trade system, we decided we were going to go for a particular style of trade system. And when we started doing the renders, we realized there was too many similar combinations. And this was basically, I think, about three or four days before we wanted to get things
things completely done because the way that I like launching stuff is literally have everything done, code, art, website, minimum, a week before it needs to go out so we can test the crud out of it and make sure it's really good, put it in front of friends and family to test it so you can find anything weird. So we're basically on this really fast
sprint. There's like four days, five days left before we got to that point of testing. And I just kind of, bit sheepishly said to Hans, like, I think we're going to need to double the traits. And he kind of went a little bit quiet a little bit on Discord. And then he just went, replied with like, give me three days. And I was like, there's no way you're going to get this done in three#
Yeah, it does. I was looking, I just had this image of his like, sunglasses falling down, looking at his drawing tablet and then he just emerged from it at three days later and he's just like,
guys I'm a legend it's done and you were lucky enough that his first answer wasn't well there you go and the full trades will be on your side like on his first message because that's what typically happens with hands
Yeah, I mean, if anyone's ever going to work with him, like you couldn't ask for a better artist to work with, honestly, he's so fast and massively creative. And the other thing I really love about working with him, he understands the format. So other artists that I've worked with, they, you know, if you're going to build an animated gift, so the way these are constructed is all of the different aspects.
sets are animated separately, and then we kind of glue them all together. Certain people wouldn't necessarily understand that it's easiest if they're all the same number of frames to get them to kind of glue together better. Didn't have to explain any of that to him. He's just like, he's total professional. Amazing. But now this whole space is just turning on to basically big and up parts
because he's just amazing and we just love these pappas so much. He's great. That's the best kind of spaces. That's the team name. It's first all over again. Yeah. I love it though. I bet he modeled the cat trade after himself.
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I#
Is it the rock one? It's a very relatable one, yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, but so you're saying that there's another GM trade though. No, so there's depends I guess we want to call GM trade so we've got the GM one is like the GM bubble above the head we've also kind of got like
the morning kind of just out of the shower or I think it's no, it's in Wiferunds with a cup of coffee. There's also one just out of the shower with a white towel around it. So whichever of them worked for you for GM, yeah.
20,000 is not a number that you can just like play that you can really mess with like there's a lot that that can happen I think Yeah, so in creating that to 20,000 we made sure there are no
two PEPAs are same. That was fun. But also with this collection, as with every collection, there's things that you expect to come from a collection, which we've added. There's also a few things that we've added just for fun, like
You said, what if you could collect the whole GM set? So we've added combo sets. So there's like the rocker was full rocker. There's like the full dragon, the full long, full prisoner like chef, you know, GM. There's I think
And there's a hundred of those in the collection, like the full sets. And they will stand out as unique from everything else. They've got like, I'm not going to give away too much, but they will definitely stand out when you get one. You'll know that you've got one. So they're fun.
is like you can just, you just go collect them. You just grab as many as you want. Like I'm sure. Yeah, I think that's a really fun idea. It's like having a, having a super little mint price.
and a super high supply, which it's good for people to get involved in the community, to get pressed out of all communities and it's like you can get a lot of people in and bond for a really positive and fun community that way, it's a really good idea.
And the other thing we've done with this as well is there's no enforce royalties. So where are the people might be, you know, enforcing 5% or whatever it is on blur and everything else, which actually starts to hinder flipping. We're like flip away. Do you want like
Yeah, I think that's really beneficial for like the arts focus projects like maybe Peffa Yeah, because then it becomes you use a Peffa to get another Peffa Yeah, exactly. It's like trade it's like trading like it's like easier to
to trade and collect stuff I think. Yeah, trading Pokemon cards. Yeah. So the slightly controversial thing that we kind of nearly did the code exists for this everything because everything was coming out
kind of planned to pick up on the hype of the whole Pepe token. We also thought, wouldn't it be cool if baby Pepe, when you minted it, you also got given a baby Pepe token, well, number of tokens, but we'd never announced it. It just happened and then you just realized we'd have some notification on the website.
once you've done your mint to say, "Chinch, chinching, chinching, like you've got some baby peppercorns, like do what you want with them." But we decided against that purely because the whole meme token stuff is quite questionable and we didn't want problems to fire back on us
like later on in the future. So we're stepping well away from the ERC 20 idea, ERC 2020 idea. But that was kind of one of the initial things we thought, which would be really cool. Which, you know, I still like the idea, but the legality is a bit like just scare me to be honest. I was linking it to the
which can have a bit of a negative kind of, like the collectibility of the art is really interesting and then all of some new act is this coin that just becomes its own thing and it just became a little bit muddy. So let's keep it to the art.
Yeah, we do want to detract away from the awesome work that is Hans and the God. I think that's clever to be honest to step away from it because you have something fun and it can quickly turn into something that's
Just flippable for the sake of it and their school art there are school trades and stuff that people want to collect just for the sake of it Just get bit that way because if it it's a fun collection right everyone looks at baby Pepe's and they see it's gonna be a fun thing and if you turn it into a flip or die thing
Well, I guess the main purpose of it, at least from my point of view, kind of gets lost. So it's a fun idea to think of it token, but I think it will be way better to make it live just by the fun traits and the fun art, and let people have fun with the art itself.
Yeah, 100% agree with you on that. And I think people will-- people will-- they're going to have a lot of fun uncovering some of these crazy things and just being like, oh, wow, I've got a blah, blah, blah. I want to swap it for a blah, blah, blah.
or I'm collecting these, yeah, there's so many cool things. And we've got some extra things that we are planning to drop. Our future point as well, as part of the Pepe kind of continuation.
if if I may really quit those oh go ahead pack a good no I was gonna say you need to spill some alpha at some point on just shoot things and don't share anything you need to spill some alpha come on
just share the alpha that we're not doing a coin. Okay, one thing, let me just send a message to my team right now in Discord.
And then depending on what the answer on this will depend on why drop so it's gonna go quiet for a second It's happening. Well, you know that. Yeah, come on pack. You see yeah, pack is making moves now. He's dry. He gets behind the wheel and he's like, all right, I gotta make it happen.
Something gets announced, you know, our man already over here has a wonderful time every week doing something that we we really love him for doing and that's dealing with the Po app but Jun-Shi's got your hand up so what's going on?
Oh yeah, I just wanted to add on to it. So yeah, no poet this week. Unfortunately, they kind of wrote this. But we are already looking into an alternative called Super Spaces. We have a meeting with their team soon to try and on board the fang out so we can start
doing poaps there. Or actually it's called toe apps on their end. So if that starts rolling out, we should be good forever with no rugging or weird brain games that take forever. Yeah, we still appreciate to see what we can do with the the toe apps that we'll be going.
if you're an abu- I know we've got avid po- app collectors, shout out to Bernk so of course, guess I always the man, he's always collecting the po- app so well don't worry we'll try and we'll mitigate this and hopefully we can move forward but yeah guys no po- app this week but you will see us next week or not next week.
next time we have an official thing out to face for a tour, but yeah. Just had chat with Team Realquit and you guys don't get po-at, but we're gonna give away 10 whitelists for baby Pepe's right now. Let's go! Let's go!
So these are ways for us to do this. If you jump over onto baby Pepe's, you don't have to follow, read Tweet any of that rubbish. Go down to the post underneath the pinned one, which literally just says chatting with Fangang and NFT about baby Pepe's coming chat with us. Literally just drop a comment in there. Well, doesn't happen.
doesn't have any comment lips to give you emoji whatever and we're just going to pick some people from that. And then we're just going to throw it, we'll DM you and then we'll get your address and we'll throw in a white list. So just throw your comments on there and yeah, we'll grab them. Just do that now before the end of the space and we'll throw you in.
That's probably the easiest way to do it. That's awesome. Thank you guys so much Tom. Thank you Tom and again the baby Pepe's team. I know it's not just like a one person
until the space ends. Just prove that you guys came to show up and talk with us today. And you might win a baby Pepe White List spot, which is pretty dope. Yep, good luck, everyone. We're just going to go through and pick them around them. Like I said, we'll DM the winners. But we'll announce the winners and then we'll DM you.
that is huge and again thank you so much man because like I know this isn't the first time you guys have done a white list giveaway right I believe that there was a a hashtag that you guys set up oh my god that that's a hilarious story so when we first
launch the Twitter or just like, what are you going to do? And we're just like, "Taywalk, let's just only ever communicate in memes." Everyone was asking us questions and I just said to Hans, let's just do throw some memes to the others and fix some memes just to Pepe. And you'll notice for like the first two or three posts that we put, the replies are
only ever like memes of whatever. But after that we're like okay we've got to put something a bit more out there and like literally Link just disappeared for a bit and then he came back with this video of just this song that just goes baby Pepe baby Pepe in like some kind of
Trans thing. It's friggin' hilarious. And then you just like let's make it as a competition if someone could beat my silly thing, we'll give them some maybe pepies. So if you scroll down to, if you go on my feed and go down to the 8th of May, actually can I share that one here?
I already got to cover time I just showed it to the jumbo trying above and it is all worth the listen guys I'm I'm in denial about my creative abilities but I like to think I did I like to think I did the same thing hands did when when he said don't worry about
three days and I'll do the trades. I was like, guys, guys, don't worry, I've got this. I got this. Yeah, we can start with that masterpiece. So, you know, when I'm saying we're like, you know, we're having fun building, we really are, we really are having fun building this. We're just laughing at each other's stupidity as we build stuff.
That's that's called getting in the zone, you know, oh, sorry.
guys I uh I might be getting rugged by my weather there's uh there's a huge like thunderstorm going out outside but uh yeah I'm trying to assess how you're gonna let me get my fingers
but, uh, but yeah, as always, the show goes on. And I think it's, uh, it's super, super evident in like exactly what package is that, the fact that like you guys are having fun, it's, uh, it's really cool. Like because it just manifests itself into something that just turns into commu- like,
not community but posts, like content for the community. The fact that there's always something to see on the baby's website, not baby's website, the Twitter feed, but at the same time, you're playing your cards very close. It's cool. Again, like I said,
prior the ball is in your court and I think it's really cool mainly because we've got some questions over in the in the the the comment section right now I've gotten at I was mentioned by let's see here I'm just going to go ahead look for these really quick all right hack the goat you guys already know if I familiar
with the community you already know hack he is as says as I said in his username it got uh... you go ahead when i had an and mentioned me and uh... he wants to know if i can get you guys to uh... to spill that alpha and uh... and again i believe i saw another mention let's see
Yes, all right. We have another mention from NFK Sasha and Sasha wants to know actually Sasha's asking you directly Tom when baby Pepe's all caps when baby Pepe's The Eli list distraction didn't work so
I know, I know. So as people know, we came over, like, Lincoln, myself, we're a were found as a cool cats and a lot of stuff over at cool cats. We learn a lot, you know, we learn a lot through that project. And one thing that we learn is as soon as you give a date,
Essentially, you could be shooting yourself in the foot because you honestly have no idea what could happen between now and that date. Or your power could go for a week. Someone could be full ill, something crazy could happen in the space, and you're forced to launch at a time.
that is not optimal. We could end up launching at the worst point in NFT history where something diabolical happens and the price of East goes down to let nothing. But we just don't know. I mean that obviously is a risk everyone takes. But by leaving ourselves open with the
kind of when mint, it allows us to get to a point where we are ready to launch and we can pick the date within like, you know, a few days a week. So it's as opportune as possible and we're not left just scrambling around and potentially not producing the best work that we can.
And you know what? I think that's that is one of the answers that we really love to hear here on the Fangouts mainly because when we invite like these communities, I mean invite these creators up and and we like you know we use it as one of course as a means to connect with the community and to have people in these other communities
you know, find out more about the creators, find out more about the artists, and more often than not, we're given answers that are exactly like that. You know, like we want to make sure that we're providing the best thing possible, and you know, even the fang out, even the fang game, like when it comes to this really big, funny
enough, the Pixel things upgrade that Hans has also had a huge hand in making the new traits and add-ons, there's a lot of work that goes into it and it's all super exciting. I think the fact that you guys are working on a collection that is as large as it is and you're trying to plan these moves accordingly
i think it's you know it is very much like parallel to what we're what the thing is doing with the rollout of the uh... of the new pixel fares rates i don't know june she packer would you guys want to talk a little bit about that because i know that's coming up but again i'm not trying to ask for when i'm not trying to force you guys uh... on a date
Yeah, I think yeah, we spoke about it in the community, thank God of course It's looking amazing like this ever for and the development is coming close to the end, but yeah
You know, like Tom said, putting a date on it, it's a necessary stress, I guess. A lot of things can still, you know, go sideways or not the way he intended to go.
