Holders will have Exclusive Game Access, Extraordinary Character class with Skills and Attributes — Founder's Interview

We are joined by Tyke AKA Vedran and Dino Tomic, founders of Onna-Bugeisha. Vedran aka Emperor Tyke is the leader and innovator of the Samurai Saga. He has been an early supporter of crypto space since 2013. He has a degree in computer programming and telecommunications and has been building projects as early as 2001. Dino Tomic is a world-famous celebrity artist who has worked with many major celebrities in his career. He also has worked with AAA gaming studios, movie production studios and have drawn masterpieces on medium.

Chris: Onna Bugeisha NFT's artwork is beyond impressive. Who is behind the digital token creation? How did you come together to form a team for the development of Onna Bugeisha NFT?

Tyke: We are very honored to partner with the world-celebrity artist, Dino Tomic again on this new Onna-Bugeisha NFT collection. He was actually the soul and warrior behind the first Cyborg Samurai NFT collection in the Samurai Saga universe, which completely sold out and is now only available on OpenSea. His insanely-detailed artwork is one of many things that sets our collection apart. 

Chris: In similar lines, what do these tokens represent? Are these playable characters in the online game?

Dino: The Onna-Bugeisha NFT collection plays an important role within the Samurai Saga universe. They are unique playable characters in our upcoming play-to-earn game, who will join alongside our original Cyborg Warriors in the great battle ahead. By owning an Onna-Bugeisha NFT, you will have exclusive game access plus extraordinary character class with skills and attributes that will prepare you for the great fight. 

Chris: Besides, Onna Bugeisha tokens are eligible for staking. How does this work? How can the investors harvest tokens?

Tyke: Aside from being playable characters, the Onna Bugeisha NFTs give holders exclusive staking access to our community-based $GENKI token. Simply stake the NFT through our website to begin mining our $GENKi token. The longer the stake, the more $GENKI tokens will be harvested. The token is our native in-game currency which can be used to upgrade characters, open loot boxes, and mint future NFT collections such as Kaiju and Teen Samurai. Currently, the staking is already enabled for our Samurai Saga project, and the $GENKI tokens can be purchased on the ERC network via Uniswap. 

Chris: How soon can the investors breed their tokens? What are the requirements of breeding the Onna Bugeisha NFTs?

Dino: The Onna-Bugeisha NFTs are available for breeding in Q3 of 2022. Holders must own an Onna-Bugeisha NFT and a certain amount of $GENKI tokens to breed our future Teen Samurai collection. We will be releasing more details about our breeding mechanism so sure to stay tuned in our Discord community. 

Chris: Likewise, what is the process for playing the game with Onna Bugeisha NFT? Is there a link to the instructions for gameplay?

Tyke: Our playable demo is expected to be released for our NFT holders in April 2022 and we have released a game demo showcasing the game play. You can check them out on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/TzRy586rjvY

Chris: Importantly, what will be the price of each token of Onna Bugeisha NFT? How much will be gas?

Dino: The minting price of Onna-Bugeisha will be 0.25 ETH and we believe that the gas fees will be minimal as we have an optimized ERC-721A smart contract in place. We understand that many investors right now are weary of higher mint prices, but we strongly believe what we have delivered so far, and what we are going to be delivering is state-of-the art, and surpasses any other NFT projects out there. Our vision for the Samurai Saga universe is long-term and with a higher mint price, we are attracting serious investors who are committed to be in the running with us. On top of that, we have also introduced minting with our $GENKI tokens to test-drive the innovation we have created. 

Chris: Before closing, we would request you to share your roadmap for Onna Bugeisha NFT in the next six months.

Tyke: We recently published a whitepaper to talk more about the entire Samurai Saga - Onna-Bugeisha NFT project and the roadmap for the next few months. You can read more about it here

But just to give you a quick overview, our focus in the next coming months is to have the full play-to-earn game released by Q4 of 2022. We will be continuing to enhance our Samurai Saga universe with new NFT collections such as the Kaiju Monsters and Teen Samurai, as well as future develop our tokenomics to help our holders earn more and realize an unprecedented gaming experience with our play-to-earn game. Once the game is released, we will develop a new roadmap that will focus on different game plays, more playable characters and even tournaments.
