Dear Community, The [Grant Support Squad](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=7a236540-d305-11ec-b521-2f98ffa6ccb0) was created to support the grantees in achieving their goals and taking care of the DAO treasury. After thoroughly reviewing this grant and speaking with the grantee [-who has requested a new grant-](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=04112d30-e5d6-11ed-b8f1-75dbe089d333), this vesting contract should be revoked by the DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik) Facts: * The Grant Program [has categories with their respective requirements and metrics](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=77475620-7b74-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c). * Also, a [budgeting strategy](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=b2626480-75b0-11ed-bc92-ef497b387215) to secure the good standing of the treasury and long-term operations of the DAO. * The [Dual Arena ](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=0414e9e0-d1a2-11ed-9cb9-2563bc989482)team has requested a Grant under the Platform Category for the *“development of an immersive 3D game'* for the Decentraland”. Analysis: The funds were requested under the Platform category, which has different requirements and metrics than In World Content category, which, based on the project to be developed, is the most suitable for this grant. Letting Dual Arena receive this grant under the Platform category would affect how this grant should be audited as the project has different requirements and metrics than the ones it should have under the correct category; it also diminishes the budget distribution for Platform projects. This would also set a precedent for other grants to do the same, damaging the budget allocation from the [DAO to its Grants Program](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=b2626480-75b0-11ed-bc92-ef497b387215). We encourage the honorable behavior (@InJesterr) of the Dual Arena team by resubmitting the Grant in the correct category.

Dear @dao Community I want to repropose our proposal because we don't want to use the funds from platform while we have a In- World Category. We acknowledge this mistake and want to prevent to give the Revocation Un necessary work. We already discussed this matter with @Zino and came to the conclusion at our first meeting that this would be the best solution! If its possible I would like to re- invite everyone to revote yes on our new proposal with the new updated category!

Thank you for your support its great to see family in the community aswell love to you all ❤️

Hey mom, visiting soon ❤️😂🤣🤣🤣

I miss my son he has havent seen him for over 5 months hahaha he is obsessed with you dcl and wont stop talking about it. Im still waiting for him to visit ⭐️

Hey everyone, I can vouch for @InJesterr s work he is crazy about his work and we dont see him for a long time because he is always working, Vote yes for his effort!

[quote="Mimsy, post:19, topic:18832"] I noticed that without reading the website information for the 2D game, it is a bit difficult to understand what to do once you’re in the game. Is there a plan to make things more intuitive or improve the tutorials for new players? I enjoyed walking around and seeing the map, but that was about all I could do at first. [/quote] Hey mimsy i totally overlooked your first line, I just noticed it silly me... **Here is the tutorial video we released a month ago for the 2D game** https://youtu.be/XDPufmq4I6M So everything you see in this tutorial video is going to be recreated in 3D aswell, it might differ from the 2D game but the concept is the same. In the 3D world we still need to check if the nations are going to work out with instances without lagg so that everything can be runned smoothly. **We covered all the minor and big details of the 2D also on our fandom page:** [Duel Arena P2E Wiki | Fandom](https://duel-arena-p2e.fandom.com/wiki/Duel_Arena_P2E_Wiki)

Hey @DedheadJ u mentioned that the space seems small for a game, I would like you to know that thats relative to your opinion, if we would have had a bigger estate like a 10x10 we would need 100 parcels which equals to nearly 300,000$ buying it or 36500$ yearly for rent, we are asking a startup funding not to go fund un necessary costs, everything we want to do fits perfectly in our currently rented estate.

[quote="DedHeadJ, post:24, topic:18832"] but what else should I expect besides chopping down a tree or picking flowers? [/quote] @DedHeadJ here you can read in our proposal your the your asked question. [quote="dao, post:1, topic:18832"] **Progress So Far** * We released the stress test 2D version of our game in February 2023. * We launched our fandom page on February in 2023. * We submitted our first grant proposal, March in 2023. * We created a 3D Map of the game and used the 2D one as a reference in March 2023. * We started to host our 2D game through WebGL in March 2023. * We added a full UI template on the 3D scene in March 2023. ( Not everything is visible yet in 3D ) * We created basic game logic & battleground for the 3D version in April 2023. * We developed a basic model to gather resources and data storage for it on PlayFab in April 2023. * We have now our 2nd proposal up and worked on all the feedback from the first in April 2023. * We published our 3D scene to our 4x4 Parcel in Decentraland in April 2023 [/quote] [quote="dao, post:1, topic:18832"] **Promises** * Functional buttons for parkour & team games. * Maximum of 100 energy that can be used to start a game… * Wearables Stalls add our own wearable store to the stalls 3D. * Create unlockable skills for battle. * We are going to add a peer to peer system to synchronize players and use it as a battle handler. * Leaderboards with a ranking system that can be obtained by PVP. * P2P system for a synchronized battle system and sending battle system. * Functional skills to use in battle, such as doing 5% damage to the enemy. * Health bar UI to track current health. * Reward system with winners receiving currency.

Hi @DedHeadJ, I would highly advise that you take the time to peruse the proposal, especially given your lack of familiarity with gaming. Additionally, you may register any email address without issue, and citing that as a reason for voting against the proposal appears to be a deliberate attempt to obstruct progress. Furthermore, your characterization of the game as "basic" seems to overlook the fact that we are seeking funding for its development. It stands to reason that if the game were fully operational, we would simply launch it, but such is not the case.

Hey @DedHeadJ I hope you understand that we didn't implement the 2D in Decentraland because when we wanted to do that everybody kept saying NO thats impossible and didnt agree with us, so we released the 2D game on WebGL to help you see what the 3D game is going to look like, yes you chop trees but the 3D version is currently in development we havent stated that its finished, the key component of the game is going to be that you will have turn based battles and you dont need big land for that. How are we ever going to develop the game if we will never receive funding, we wasted 6 month on paying our developer for the 2D game first the community said there is no game, then we made it and got critiques on the game being on a frame, then we started on our game in 3D asked for funding and still released the 2D version only to hear that we need to finish it entirely in DCL... pretty frustrating.

@InJesterr I acknowledge this is multiple requests from you and I am rooting for you but since I am not a gamer, I can only comment on what I learned from going to the DCL site and your own website outside of DCL. When I go in world the space seems small for a game and it is basic. I understand that the game is under development but what else should I expect besides chopping down a tree or picking flowers? I had to click outside of DCL to really play the game and when I did, I had to register to play your game but because I did not want to provide my email, I could not see your off-chain game. I appreciate your tenacity and please keep at it but for now I must vote no.

Haha well played, sir :rofl: :joy: :six: :teapot: :nine:

Hahahah well in 75000 there is more 69s then in 69000 we tought this through :rofl:

Hey InJesterr, yes I completely understand! Looking forward to seeing the 3D game playable in world. I just wasn't too sure at the moment so I'm not voting either yes or no yet. Generally games in DCL that I've voted yes for grants on had already had a working game that was completely in DCL, so I'd like to see that! I can see why you were confused with the grant categories, the Platform category is literally a gaming joystick LOL. That probably needs to be made more clear for us when applying for grants. PS. I think the correct grant amount for you to ask for is $69k

Hey thank you for taking your time to read it :smiley: So to cover your question, the game we have in 2D will be now used as a example to build it in 3D So we keep the 2D game online while we work on the 3D, It wont be exactly like the 2D but we will definetely take the main ideas and assets and use it in our game. I think it is wise to see keep the proposal up and if it becomes a no we will be able take the feedback from this proposal to upgrade the one we will post in the in world category. with some additional pictures and videos highlighted :D

I appreciate the time this team has taken to listen to feedback on previous proposals and to modify the plan accordingly to bring the game into DCL in a 3D version instead of using DCL as a portal to the game in an outside location. I'm supportive of new games and interactive experiences coming into DCL as they are good opportunities to attract new users to DCL. I do have a few questions/concerns though before fully supporting this proposal. 1. I noticed that without reading the website information for the 2D game, it is a bit difficult to understand what to do once you're in the game. Is there a plan to make things more intuitive or improve the tutorials for new players? I enjoyed walking around and seeing the map, but that was about all I could do at first. 2. After reading the info on the website, I learned that the concept is a world divided into 4 nations represented by the different elements. I think this concept is awesome, but am wondering what the plans are to expand upon this? Personally I feel this is the most unique aspect of the game compared to other DCL games and would love to see it be brought more to the forefront. I know skills will be affected by the nation one aligns with, but in what other areas will this play out? 3. I agree with the other comments that this proposal would be more appropriate under the In-World Content category. I can see how the confusion with categories came about based on the language used, but as this isn't something applicable to the overall platform of DCL I think resubmitting it under In-World Content would be best to free up budget space in the Platform category for universal DCL tools and platform developments.

  Just finished the female representation of the wearable :open_mouth:

How confusing this, this is how we read it.  Creation of tools and aplications extending our platform and ecosystem. Which could refer to many things... In-World Content Development of experiences aiming to improve user retention. Which in our believe refered to museas, courses, clubhouses like babydolls and metaparty. One is a Joystick other is a Globe. Maybe they'll be able to change it to the right category. We skipped that part on the page when we read because we were certain we had the right one. But either way she would have voted no. I recall her typing very active with CAPSLOCK and having a short temper, I figured its not worth fighting over a grant request with someone. The back and forth would have created only drama and there is no need to break each other hearts.

I have not read your prop yet, but given the brief and dismissive nature of Shiny's reply I suspect additional context isn't needed. They would probably not have said that if your grant was in the "In-World Content" category. I'm not saying you are or are not in the wrong category at the moment, I would need to do more reading, but I suspect that is what they were referring to.

Hey @Billyteacoin ! Thank you for your comment and interested in our project. We can understand your desire to see more proof of concept and a working game in Decentraland. We have been working hard on this project for the previous 7 months, we have already released a 2D version of the game that is available for the public to play. Also We have made significant progres on the 3D version, with a finished map, UI, assets, basic game logic and wearables NFTs already. *( Note that we will use the same UI, Textures, Icons & Skills from our current 2D game aswell )* We appreciate youre constructive feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our project, but respectfully as a team, we have invested already an great deal of time and effort and money into the development of this game, without any financial support or funding until this grant proposal. We hope you can understand that creating a project from scratch is a challenging and time consuming task not to mention that we also have to expect most personnel to do this for free until we get a grant, this can be frustrating for the team because as of this moment only our Game Developer @DR3NK0 has been paid so far, while our website developer, Me, @Buraggan, @didiimakiii are doing this for completely free. Some of us are even paying from our own pocket to fund this project while I we are also just a creatosr (I hope I dont sound to cocky here but I hope you get my point. ). We have already made signifcant progres and are commited to delivering a high-quality game that meets the needs and expectation of the DCL community. Thank you again for your interrest in our project.
