Nine-time Emmy award-winning independent animation studio Baobab Studios announces its debut digital collectible storytelling world, “Momoguro”. The storytelling metaverse project is hosted on the Ethereum blockchain. The animation studio hosts expertise across film, tv, games, and books/publishing, and is set to rattle web3 with their latest storytelling NFT project!
What Is Momoguro by Baobab Studios?
Momoguro is a digital universe that introduces a fantastical world to its players. The world has creatures called Momos which can fuse to take advantage of their complementary strengths. The first release of the Momoguro world and IP is its digital collectible storytelling role-playing game (RPG). This RPG also allows players to collect Momos, go on quests, and discover the story of the ‘Uno Plane’ by taking on the role of the ‘Holoself’. The Holoself is a being with the rare ability to fuse with multiple Momos to create wildly unique, powerful, and super-fun Momobeasts. Moreover, players use characters of the Uno Plane to unite to fight the Singulars – egotistical monsters seeking to divide the plane.
Baobab’s web3 story studio conceptualizes, develops, and releases new projects with the help of a dedicated group of creators. Momoguro is currently in development, and the digital collectible storytelling RPG is also powered by ImmutableX. Immutable X is the leading developer platform for building and scaling mainstream-ready Web3 games on Ethereum. Baobab’s deep background in storytelling and gaming works across a range of popular franchises. These include Marvel, Disney, League of Legends, D&D, Star Wars, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Zynga, EA, and many more.
“We believe stories transcend mediums,” states Maureen Fan, Baobab Studios CEO, and Co-Founder. “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.”
More About The Team Behind Momoguro
The co-creators of Momoguro, Martin Allais and Nico Cassavecchia brings a unique approach to the project. Their mixed-media approach to mood, mashups, and music also makes this a promising project. The whole idea around the project filters through their Latin American roots and vision. To add to this, Baobab’s team of creators also promises to make Momoguro a unique addition to the wider entertainment industry.
Baobab aims to expand Momoguro’s reach to millions of fans through various entertainment mediums, similar to their previous successful IPs. For instance, their Emmy-winning “Baba Yaga” VR experience and traditional animated short are currently in development as a Disney+ series – “THE WITCHVERSE”. Additionally, “Intercats” is a graphic novel book series with First Second Books and Macmillan, which is also set to become a future Disney+ series.
Moreover, Baobab has notable board members. These include Pixar co-founders Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith, and Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin. Other advisors also come from well-known companies including Netflix, Paramount Animation, Tribeca, and the Oscars. All team members and advisors are publicly identified on the Baobab website, and they bring extensive experience working on popular movies such as Toy Story 3, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast. You may find more information and details about the project via the official Momoguro website.
