Baobab Studios, a nine-time Emmy award-winning independent animation studio, confirmed its debut digital collectible storytelling world, ‘Momoguro’. The new storytelling metaverse project is powered by the Ethereum blockchain. This animation studio hosts expertise across television, games, film, and books/publishing, and is expected to rattle web3 with their most recent storytelling NFT project.
Momoguro By Baobab Studios
Momoguro is a digital universe that unveils a fantastical world to its players. In this setting, the world has creatures known as Momos that can integrate to benefit from their complementary strengths. The first release of the Momoguro world and IP is its interesting digital collectible storytelling role-playing game (RPG).
Notably, the RPG enables gamers to collect Momos, go on quests, and discover the story of the ‘Uno Plane’ by adopting the role of the ‘Holoself’. The Holoself is a creature with the rare ability to integrate with many Momos to develop wildly distinct, powerful, and super-fun Momobeasts. Additionally, gamers use characters of the Uno Plane to unite to fight the Singulars –egotistical monsters that want to divide the plane.
Baobab’s Web3 story studio is designed to conceptualize, develop, and release new projects mostly with the assistance of a dedicated group of developers. Momoguro is now in development, and the digital collectible storytelling RPG is also powered by ImmutableX.
Immutable X is the biggest developer platform for creating and scaling mainstream-ready Web3 games on Ethereum. Baobab’s extensive background in gaming and storytelling works across a wide range of popular franchises. They include League of Legends, D&D, Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Magic: The Gathering, EA, Zynga, Pokémon, and many others,
Maureen Fan, Baobab Studios CEO, and Co-Founder, said:
“We believe stories transcend mediums. Baobab Studios’ mission is to inspire you to dream and bring out your sense of wonder. Make YOU matter. This begins by creating great characters and stories, like Momoguro, where you can be part of the story. We aspire to bring the Momoguro IP to as many channels, streaming platforms, and widespread media as possible.”
The Team Behind Momoguro
The co-developers of Momoguro, Nico Cassavecchia, and Martin Allais introduce a distinct approach to the project. Their mixed-media approach to mashups, mood, and music also makes it a highly promising project.
This whole idea surrounding the project filters through their Latin American roots and vision. Furthermore, Baobab’s team of developers also promises to make Momoguro a distinct addition to the general entertainment sector.
Baobab strives to expand Momoguro’s reach to millions of fans via different entertainment mediums, which is similar to their past successful IPs. For example, their Emmy-winning “Baba Yaga” VR experience coupled with traditionally animated shorts is now in development as a Disney+ series – “THE WITCHVERSE”.
Also, “Intercats” is a renowned graphic novel book series with First Second Books and Macmillan, and is set to become a future Disney+ series.
Baobab has assembled a team of notable board members. They include Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin and Pixar co-founders Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith. Other advisors also come from renowned firms including Paramount Animation, the Oscars, Netflix, and Tribeca.
All advisors and team members are identified publicly on the Baobab website, and they come with massive experience working on popular movies like Aladdin, Toy Story 3, and Beauty and the Beast.
More information about this project is available on the official Momoguro website.
