Supdrive, an NFT video game project, is led by Dom Hofmann, the co-creator of Vine, a popular short video sharing app that was discontinued in 2017. Twitter user @jacksondame shared more on the microblogging site about what appears to be an out-of-the-box project. The user shared a screenshot of a communication received from Hoffmann, writing that Supdrive is pushing the boundaries and innovating in ways that make it stand out in an already crowded market.
In his message, Hoffman said he didn’t expect the kind of response his project had already received in the first 12 hours after its announcement.

Shedding more light on what exactly the project entails, Hoffman said that Supdrive is an on-chain fantasy console where the games are the NFTs. He goes on to say that the public can see it as ‘Art Blocks for games’. The games, he said, will run on the Supdrive Virtual Firmware, a toolkit that allows games to be written in concise instructions that are “gas-friendly” and ideal for chain storage.

“While each game will be released in fixed editions, each edition is unique – each version of the game will be different, be it color palettes, difficulty levels, special abilities or more,” he added.

If you’re already wondering what kind of game this console will have, Hoffman explains that Supdrive will have old-fashioned arcade-style games. “As the firmware is upgraded, the games will gradually become more advanced,” he said, adding that we may have a “Super Supdrive or Supdrive 64” one day.
The first game in the console is called Origin.
