We create and aggregate communities!
Firm in our belief that communities of common interest and goals are the foundation for growth - we have engaged in creating and aggregating different communities - with demand and supply in view - to create a healthy growth environment for all parties to benefit from.
This involves on-the-ground interaction and multi-way communication with different parties and participants, to identify needs of each community segment - and then develop activities, projects, or initiatives that would benefit as many different parties as possible - all with a commercial view in mind.
We have created and nurtured notable communities which are currently self-sustaining and have potential to grow further to achieve greater heights :-
The Unity Macroverse was conceived and created at a time where participants in the creative industry were facing challenges in securing jobs and projects. So, we created our own! The Unity Macroverse was developed as a "platform for storytelling" based on a the premise of science fiction in an alternate timeline, set in the 23rd century, which has so far produced :-
More than 12 graphic novels / comics
More than 60 written publications including Short Stories and Paperback Novels (which are available globally through amazon.com)
A tabletop wargame with expansion packs and add-ons
Collectible scaled models of vehicles and action figures of story characters
Various other merchandise such as apparel, printed posters, and so forth.
A number of different communities participated in creating the base for the Unity Macroverse, including :-
Creatives : graphic artists, illustrators, writers, storytellers, musicians, actors, etc.
"Techies and tinkerers" : 3D printing enthusiasts, DIY enthusiasts, model makers, toy makers, etc.
Further communities then participated as we lowered the bar and virtually removed barriers to participate, making it available and accessible to anyone from all walks of life. Whilst doing this, we started receiving contributions and submission from children with special needs, which spun-off into another core community, "The Spectrum" - which focuses on the commercialisation of creations by youth on the autism and differently-abled spectrum.
The Unity Macroverse is constantly growing with newer stories being developed by different individuals and participants, interweaved into the common storytelling canvas which ties everything together. There were even talks initiated to explore bringing Unity Macroverse stories to regional streaming services, until the Covid-19 pandemic hit us. Nevertheless, we continue to engage communities to keep the Unity Macroverse going.

The Spectrum was initiated as a spin-off from the Unity Macroverse, as we started to receive an increasing number of contributions in the form of children's stories and illustrations by young individuals with autism. Realizing that such creations could stand on their own separately from the Unity Macroverse as a storytelling platform - we began exploring avenues to help these young individuals earn from their creations, from a slightly different angle.
We opened up by allowing pretty much any form of creation to be submitted, from artwork and writings - to even scribbles and casual colouring work. We then transposed these creations onto daily use merchandise and items such as t-shirts, mugs and drink flasks, keychains, notepad journals, umbrellas and caps, bags and so forth. As with the Unity Macroverse, some of these items (publications) are available globally through amazon.com. From a more local standpoint, The Spectrum items are currently available through an increasing number of local community businesses - which we also engage in expanding reach.
To find out more about The Spectrum, please visit The Spectrum Website or The Spectrum Facebook and/or Instagram pages. The Spectrum Website contains a list of all current community retail partners that are helping to bring The Spectrum items to their respective local communities.
It just keeps on growing and expanding ... interweaving and intertwining along the way ...
Both Unity Macroverse and The Spectrum items are being made available through our growing network of community retail partners. At the same time, we are also reciprocating with our community retail partners by creating related activities, events, promotions, and initiatives that will benefit them as well. Ultimately, community is all about sharing. And that's exactly what we are continuously aiming for and trying to achieve with all that participate.
