Supdrive, an NFT video game project, is being helmed by Dom Hofmann, the co-creator of Vine, a popular short-video sharing app that got shut down in 2017. Twitter user @jacksondame shared more on the micro-blogging site about what appears to be an out-of-the-box project. Sharing a screenshot of a communication received from Hoffmann, the user wrote that Supdrive pushes the boundaries and innovates in ways that makes it stand out in an already crowded market.In his message, Hoffman said that he was not expecting the kind of response his project had already received in the first 12 hours of the announcement.update from @dhof on what exactly @supdrive actually is — needless to say, i am very excited for this NFT project, it pushes the boundaries and innovates in ways that make it stand out from the crowded market pic.twitter.com/ExJMlKnWrl— Dame.eth ????
