In this episode, I'm joined by @remnynt, creator of onchain NFT collections vibes.art and the reliquary. We chat about remnynt’s background as a mobile game dev, his transition into generative NFT art, and the influence of Artblocks, Terraforms, and Corruptions on his practice. We dive into vibes.art, his first on-chain Javascript based collection, and the reliquary his latest creation, which combines his interest in on-chain generative art and fantasy RPGs.
I've never seen anyone use source code to tell a story in the way today's guest has. It was great chatting with remnynt about games, art, life, and code. I hope you enjoy the show.
