Neon Plexus: Override was a cyberpunk collection of real-time 3D characters called "Fabricants", launched in April 2022 by a team of game-industry veterans. It is a typical example of a mid-size 2022 drop that never reached its planned supply.

What was promised
The team described itself as longtime friends with decades of combined experience in the games industry. Holders were promised the chance to become content creators within the Neon Plexus world, lore and concept art, a "Flex Kit", a "Meta City" and "The Plexus" as later products, physical merchandise and 3D prints. A share of the treasury was earmarked for creators and charities.
What happened
The collection's current marketplace description on Harvest.art refers to 1,006 Fabricants, far below the 9,000 planned at mint. That suggests most of the supply was never minted. Harvest.art is a marketplace for illiquid NFTs, and it shows no floor price or recent trading for the collection. This archive found no evidence that the products on the roadmap shipped.
Lessons
- A professional team and polished 3D art did not guarantee demand in the crowded spring 2022 market.
- When a mint stops well short of supply, roadmap funding disappears with it.
- Check how many tokens a collection actually minted, not the planned supply in the announcement.
