Frogland Will Reward Owners of the Amphibious NFT Collection with Free Land within its Lore-Rich Metaverse
Leesburg, VA (June 15, 2022) — Good Ribbit Productions, LLC — a Web3 company founded by an all-star team of award-winning Disney, Sony, and Lucasfilm creatives — has announced that it will officially opened up land sales to members of the The Notorious Frogs of Frogland NFT collection and its associated metaverse, “NewPangea” on Saturday, June 18th. The lore-rich NewPangea metaverse is populated by unique amphibian NFT characters that feature individual RPG statistics, for a true roleplay experience in a virtual world. To celebrate the project’s next leap in growth, existing Frogland NFT owners will be given a free land deed machine for each Frog owned, for placement in the central district of the NewPangea metaverse, the titular Frogland — with the optional flexibility to relocate.
Proceeds from the sales of the original Frogland NFT collection allow the project to scale with the community, unlike other metaverse initiatives that rely on VC funding. This funding approach allows Frogland to take full advantage of cutting-edge Web3 technologies to innovate in the burgeoning virtual universe sector. This also encourages the community to leverage Frogland’s fully-realized roleplaying mechanics — including the individual personality properties assigned to each Frogland NFT and player-assigned roles within the NewPangea metaverse. The Frogland team works directly with the Frogholders, receiving input from the community for new Frogland content and features.
A user-created society from the ground up with a strong focus on organic growth and creativity, the Frogland community has been inspired to flesh out their personal roles within the Frogland metaverse. Since the project’s launch, community members have self-organized into groups (or “Syndicates”) with shared goals, creating decentralized organizational structures that further inform gameplay and content additions to the project.
The launch of land sales follows community projects created within the Frogland metaverse, which includes the upcoming creation of new Web3 tracks from double Grammy award-winning producer Dumma Boy and Scott Page of Pink Floyd. Additional community projects include an environmentally-focused NFT project that utilizes the platform’s integration and gameplay to support the development of protected woodlands and forests. Another project is a podcast that is broadcast via a music studio existing within the NewPangea metaverse, with the goal of seeking new artists for collaborative efforts — minting their stems from the platform to collect royalties — and a community written and produced news program that covers “local” NewPangea news and crypto-related topics, and much more.
“Let content creators create, let users own their data, and let the funding come from an organic community; that’s our goal and our mantra,” said Andy Armstrong, co-founder and Chief of Production & Community. “The freedom of choice and ability to collaborate openly while tracking community contributions and financial gain from their efforts will create an unstoppable wave of inspiration and innovation. Content is king; the greatest tech in the world without good content is doomed to fail.”
Initially kicked off in June 2021, The Notorious Frogsof Frogland started as a 10k NFT project offering owners unique characters and digital avatars in Frogland, the original district in the NewPangea metaverse. Not simply portraits, each frog represents an important character in an ongoing story. The goal of Frogland? A virtual world with a thriving community given the tools to create, build, and design — whether that be music, visual art, epic stories, and more — all while reaping meaningful rewards. Frogland is the first of many gamified and fully customized districts within NewPangea for future partner projects, aimed at fostering and developing characters, content, and gameplay mechanics.
The team behind the Frogland metaverse carries quite the pedigree. Ed “Snoop Frog” Mason, CEO, has developed partnerships with NVIDIA and built products and prototypes for Samsung, LG, and Mattel. He was also recently a judge at the Bermuda International Film Festival, where he presented NFTs, Frogland, and the NewPangea metaverse to the United Nations. Matt Wilhelm aka “Froggy Digital”, is a co-founder and Chief Technical Officer/Frog” who has launched products for Microsoft, NPR, Samsung, and Discovery Communications. Anthony Shafer, Chief Creative Officer aka “Shrimp”, is an award-winning Hollywood veteran that has worked on iconic IPs like the Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Transformers franchises. Andy Jane Armstrong aka “Lollihops” is a co-founder and Chief of Production & Community with a background in the importance of human connection and nonverbal communication. Armstrong recently presented Frogland at the Game Developers Conference 2022 (GDC).
The rest of the Frogland team is a powerhouse of industry expertise and experience, including Damon Wolfe aka “Bugs”, former Computer Graphics Supervisor at Disney Animation Studio; Daniel Van Der Ghinse, developer, entrepreneur and defi specialist; Didi Mx, traditional fine artist; former head of Sony’s Flagship London Studio, Dr. Dave Ranyard, who helped create PlayStation Home and PlayStation VR content; Ali Durrant, former Project Manager for the development of PlayStation Home, and more.

About Good Ribbit Productions, LLC
The Notorious Frogs began in June of 2021 as a 10k NFT project representative of their owners’ characters and avatars in Frogland, the founding district of our metaverse called NewPangea. The Frogland team has always seen the concept and the technologies that comprise Web3 as a pivotal moment in history, one where the users of technology become the beneficiary of social change — not simply the consumers for a centralized system that is based on one-way financial flow and the extraction of personal data. Our promise is to supply the framework, tools, and opportunity to support a new creative system that enables active participants to have more exposure to their audience, peers and professionals, and to supply them with a mechanism that can verify and reap the rewards for their contributions.
Exclusive clothing and items up for grabs for Metaverse HQ NFT holders
Amsterdam, NL – June 15th 2022 – Azerion, the digital entertainment and media platform, today announced the partnership with Metaverse HQ to their Habbo metaverse in the first of many upcoming NFT collaboration projects coming this Summer!
By connecting their crypto wallets to their Habbo account, Metaverse HQ NFT holders will be able to unlock unique in-game collectibles including clothing, badges and furniture to decorate their hotel rooms, as well as bespoke speech bubbles and effects in a future Habbo update. Allowing Habbo residents to show off their collections and feel part of the wider NFT community, these in-game items will be exclusively owned and tied to owning Metaverse HQ NFTs in the connected wallet. Habbo will also create a decorative community room for the collaborations as a social hub for the collection.
“Inclusivity and community have always been part of the core values of Habbo, and we want our residents to be able to raise their voice as part of any community, including the metaverse,” said Jurriaan van Teunenbroek, Vice President of Azerion. “This collaboration with Metaverse HQ shows that Habbo is a pioneering social platform and fully embraces the ways in which new technologies allow people to express themselves!”
“An immersive virtual experience, like the world Habbo has built for our community, incentivizes engagement valued to consumers and brands alike. Too many communities in Web3 focus on building their own meta verses, instead of aligning with the best builders, which is what we’ve done here today.” said Mitch Lacsamana, Co-Leader at Metaverse HQ.

Tokyo, Japan – June 15th, 2022 – During the Guerrilla Collective digital showcases that took place last weekend, Gravity Game Arise announced partnerships with five talented indie development teams to publish their titles. Tactical bullet-hell RPG, Grid Force – Mask Of The Goddess, classic tactics RPG-inspired Live By The Sword: Tactics, stunning pixel art RPG Alterium Shift, colourful 3D co-op platformer River Tails: Stronger Together and 3D puzzle adventure NecroBoy: Path to Evilship all made an appearance during the show. For those who who made have missed the shows, here’s a roundup of each title:
Grid Force – Mask Of The Goddess
Grid Force – Mask Of The Goddess is an innovative tactical bullet-hell RPG from Dreamnauts coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on August. Grid Force’s release date was revealed during the Black Voices in Gaming event on June 8th. The game combines exciting and tactically rich real-time grid based combat, a deep story that adapts to your choices and a diverse roster of heroines that enrich the game both through their unique combat abilities and their fascinating personal backstories.
Live by the Sword: Tactics is at its heart a Tactical RPG but takes a few modern measures to differentiate itself from others. No grinding is needed to enjoy the game, your characters are the same strength at the end of the game as they were at the start. You the player are what grows and as you become better you are able to beat harder fights and solve more difficult encounters.
“We would like to announce today we have partnered with Gravity Game Arise, an indie game publishing company,” said Labrador Studios founder Matthew Hamilton. “Labrador Studios is extremely excited to be working with Gravity Game Arise to ensure Live by the Sword: Tactics is able to reach as many people as possible. Our partnership will last for years to come with a goal of delivering unique IP’s in the RPG genre that you can’t get anywhere else.”
Alterium Shift is a retro JRPG-inspired indie game from Drattzy Games. Choose one of three heroes in training on a mission to prevent a catastrophic conflict between two worlds. Discover the heroes’ intertwined link as they seek to save Alteria from the Dark Elves. Be prepared to shift your expectations on what the real journey might be.
Alterium Shift has grown from a small passion project to a full-fledged game with many awesome features to come,” said Drattzy co-founder Mottzy. “We are extremely excited to be working with Gravity Game Arise to deliver a truly unique retro-style RPG that brings the nostalgia of the 90s to the modern world.”
“Alterium Shift culminates years of passion for retro-style JRPGs into a project we could only dream of making by ourselves,” said Drattzy co-founder DrazzRay. “Thanks to our partnership with Gravity Game Arise, we’ll be able to deliver on that dream and transform those passions into a game that we believe people will love for years to come”.
River Tails: Stronger Together is a 3D two player co-op adventure platformer with a colourful cartoon aesthetic. Teammates must work together to defeat end-of-level bosses and solve puzzles across a range of natural-world environments.
Play either as Furple, the curious and excitable purple kitten, or Finn, the independent fish with a bit of an attitude problem. You’ll embark upstream with these unexpected allies, towards the icy mountain where Furple’s family are in mortal danger. Can you save them in time?
Pick a trusted teammate and prepare to experience an epic journey through nature in all its glory. Kid Onion Studio, an indie game development company headquartered in the UK and Italy is developing River Tails: Stronger Together. This exciting 3D action-adventure platformer is designed to be played by two people in couch co-op mode and is targeted to all major platforms.
“Think about a great road trip with one of your best friend…done?! Great! Now replace the road with a lush river, your friend with grumpy fish and you are a cute purple cat.”, Kid Onion co-founder Francesco says, “Get ready to experience a great two player adventure in which you need to collaborate and time your actions in order to succeed”
“We are working to offer players a co-operative game where they can create fun memories and have a lot of laughs while playing”, from Kid Onion co-founder Gabriele.
NecroBoy is a puzzle-adventure game from French indie developer Chillin’ Wolf, in which you can revive souls into the form of minions, the NecroMinions (because everything starting with Necro is cooler), that will follow our hero, NecroBoy.
Use your minions to solve various puzzles by giving them orders, helping you to progress further into the crypt of NecroMan, an infamous necromancer that tyrannized the kingdom a century ago. What a role model!
Although the gameplay is made to be relaxed (we’re Chillin’ Wolf, remember?). The journey through the dungeons will make the players scratch their heads over puzzles as the difficulty increases!
But the main focus of this game is the story. A story of this megalomaniac, theatrical, lonely kid who wants to take the path of evil. Why would he choose such a goal? What does he really want? That’s what you’ll learn as you follow the progress of NecroBoy into the crypt – and his progress as a person, with a tone often comedic, but… sometimes darker. NecroBoy’s character design was originally inspired by Ed from the 90’s game Tonic Trouble! It was one of my favorite games when I was a kid, so I wanted NecroBoy to be a fun and endearing protagonist like Ed was.
A demo for NecroBoy: Path to Evilship will be available soon, so please keep your eyes open!
“I hope people will fall in love with NecroBoy, like I did while creating this little guy” from Yool the developer and owner of Chillin’ Wolf.

In LOOPMANCER, private eye Xiang Zixu is murdered while investigating the vanishing of a famous journalist. As Xiang awakens in his bed on the morning of his death, he discovers time resets every time he bites the dust. Kill, die, and enact revenge in an oppressive Far East cyberpunk world to uncover the connections between your case, your murder and your limitless resurrection. Do you have what it takes to become a LOOPMANCER?
“You think too highly of yourself, Xiang Zixu,” says Wei Long, LOOPMANCER’s mob boss. “I’ll get you in the end!!”
Annihilate bionic cyborgs, deformed mutants, and Wei Long’s army of street level gangsters in slow-motion. Electrify the city’s underbelly with your vast array of cybernetic enhancements or dismember opera mask-wearing grunts with the full force of your high-tech armory. Soak neon-lit streets with the blood of the future’s most notorious criminals.
Players will be able to make choices and investigate side paths in seven sprawling levels, each rife with traps to avoid and clever puzzles to solve. Search carefully for clues hidden throughout each stage’s randomly generated layout. The secrets you uncover and decisions you make determine seven unique endings, each of which sheds more light behind your case, your murder and the consequences of becoming a LOOPMANCER.
