Background: NFT avatars and the platform inquiry had led the studio to consider whether recognizable names might help it reach players beyond the cards themselves. But the team had just set boundaries for fundraising discussions and did not want to mistake attention for a product direction.

Today: The team discussed the possibility of a celebrity IP collaboration, focusing on a heavyweight figure from the world of sports. Some saw a fit between athletes and competitive cards; others worried that licensing talks and resource demands could take time away from development. The meeting left it as an avenue to explore, without claiming there was already a candidate or a deal.

Impact and next steps: The discussion narrowed a vague idea of “celebrity appeal” to sports, creating a point of connection with the card gameplay. The next step was still to assess fit, licensing difficulty, and what the team could manage; whether to approach anyone remained undecided.
