# Project Direction

The XscapeNFT project was founded in November 2021, based on the vision of the Xscape universe created by [Daniel](the-team), with years of thought and planning behind it. Our core and most long-term direction for the XscapeNFT project is to develop a game that contains blockchain-based XRPL NFT integration. This is something that we are taking our time with, as we do not want to cut any corners, and we are focused on creating an in-depth gaming experience not yet seen in the blockchain space. We are working with various entities to progress the Xscape game development, such as the XRPL Gaming Alliance, from which Xscape will be one of the core game releases. \
More about the gamification side of Xscape can be found [here](gamification).&#x20;

However, we understand that it does not make sense for NFT collections to rely solely on utility found in a future game release, which is why we also focus on having some other core aspects for every NFT collection that we launch. These include; [the highest quality art and thoughtful design](project-direction/the-art-of-xscape), [consistent holder benefits](project-direction/holder-benefits), and [interactivity with the ever-evolving world of Xscape](project-direction/community-interactivity).&#x20;
