The Challenge
The Eden: Discovery project was a collaborative venture between CXR.Agency and XPUNKS, aimed at creating an immersive Web3 gaming metaverse. The challenges were multi-faceted:
Branding: Creating a brand identity that encapsulates the essence of a living, breathing metaverse.
Website: Building an interactive website that engages and converts visitors.
Trailer: Developing compelling trailers within a tight timeline and limited gameplay footage.
Social Media: Crafting a tweet strategy to engage an active community.
Branding: The Eden Doctrine
We initiated the "Eden Doctrine," a conceptual framework that guided the branding process. The brand identity balanced futurism with navigability, inspired by successful looter-shooter games.

Website: From Space to Eden
We started with a basic splash page with a glitching effect to capture emails. The final website was a seamless, scroll-based experience that starts from space and brings the user into the game's setting.
