First stage
The Goals
The Cyber Syndicate VX collection on The Sandbox is a development for our client Aaron Jo Ferris that wanted to develop a cyberpunk themed collection of avatars in the metaverse of The Sandbox. THe goal was to create a collection of 3333 VX Avatars that resembled the characters from existing cyberpunk IPs such as Cyberpunk 2077.
- 3333 VX Avatars
- Cyberpunk Inspired
- 93 Unique Characters
The 3 main elements regarding the development of the Cyber Syndicate VX Collection were:
Randomized avatars: the collection had to be based on 95 unique avatars and randomized versions of those to achieve a total number of 3333 models.
The Sandbox native: the collection had to be integrated with The Sandbox metaverse platform.
Multi level: multiple difficulties was one of the highlight, so players could not just get bored in 1 main difficulty.
Second stage
Initial concept
The concept that we created, based on Aaron's idea was a 3 steps approach:
Brainstorm references: gather all of the relevant and could be used to create the first versions of the avatar vx models.
Find key leaders: one of the main elements was to find 6 key leaders of the 6 "factions" of the Cyber Syndicate ecosystem.
Randomization: after the development we had to prepare lines of code in a way could could randomize the collection through the VoxEdit software to be able to have the 3333 randomized avatars output.
- Crafting a Lineup of the Collection
- Defining all the Code
- Lie Down all of the Elements
Third stage
Development
In the development phase of the Cyber Syndicate project, the team will design and prototype detailed 3D avatars for each faction using tools like Blender and Maya, guided by the key leaders identified earlier. Programmers will integrate randomization scripts within VoxEdit to ensure each of the 3333 avatars is unique, focusing on traits and accessories diversity. This phase includes rigorous testing to refine avatar models and algorithms, leading to final adjustments before a strategically planned launch, aiming to maximize community engagement and impact.

Delivery
In the delivery and launch phase of the Cyber Syndicate project, the team successfully released 3333 unique avatars onto the blockchain, accompanied by a live-streamed launch event. Pre-launch teasers and previews built community excitement. Following the launch, the team monitored user interactions and provided necessary updates, ensuring a smooth integration of the avatars into the Cyber Syndicate ecosystem.
