What are the things you cherish most in your daily life? We live in a world often referred to as the โage of personal taste,โ and itโs clear that many people are truly passionate about the things they love. From movies that left a lasting impression to webtoons you never miss an episode of, and even game characters youโve watched grow alongsideโthe more you look around, the more you realize your life is filled with things you hold dear.
Wadiz, we wondered if there was a way to bring our fandoms and personal tastes closer to our daily lives. Thatโs how our IP licensing businessโ[Fans Maker]โwas born ๐ Today, weโd like to share the story of the Fans Maker project that WadizMapleStory have been working on together!
I just can't resist a combination of great ideas and charming characters!
About 1,000 projects launch Wadizevery month, bringing something new to our many supporters. However, there are also makers whose projectsโdespite being truly compellingโdonโt reach as many people as they deserve, which is a real shame.
To help great creators and projects reach a wider audience, Wadizis launching a new project in collaboration with the MapleStory IP, known for its captivating stories and characters. Wadiz, MapleStory characters will be brought to life in a variety of unique merchandise never seen before.
Fans Maker: Bringing you closer to everyday life
The Fans Maker Project isnโt just about using MapleStory characters; itโs designed to bring the game into fansโ everyday lives through products they use in their kitchens, on their walks, and in other familiar settings. Itโs a valuable opportunity for the makers creating these products, and it gives fans a chance to extend their gaming experience into their daily lives.

Q. What are you looking forward to from theWadiz crowdfunding campaign?
In the past, people used to buy things out of necessity, but nowadays, many people buy things based on their personal preferences rather than just what they need. We launched this crowdfunding campaign featuring the MapleStory character Pink Bean, but I believe the product line has great potential to expand significantly to include a variety of other characters in the future.

MapleStory is a game that has been loved by many people for a long time. I hope this product will help people recall the fun memories they have of playing the game when they were young.

Stories Created by Fans Maker
Due to the pandemic, MapleStory has had fewer opportunities to share memorable experiences with our customers in person. However, through the Fans Maker Project, we were able to deliver high-quality merchandise to our fans. We hope that the valuable experience gained from the Fans Maker Project will serve as a foundation for the MapleStory IPโand indeed, for many other IPsโto create more opportunities to connect with customers and earn their affection!
