Also @HPrivakos, DCL-Edit V3 will have features that the Decentraland Editor won't (like building UI inside DCL-Edit and an improved modelling workflows with live model updates, supporting multiple formats). So the Decentraland Editor will not replace DCL-Edit. Rather, both will evolve into different directions with a different focus which I think is a healthy dynamic for the whole ecosystem. In my opinion, we'd miss a great opportunity without DCL-Edit. I strongly believe that our efforts (which go beyond just delivering the tool itself) will significantly increase adoption and make Decentraland stand out from the competition. Also, just for the correctness, it will actually be around 9 months for the last 240K until the next (potential) funding. We are currently continuing development without funding.

Hi @HPrivakos. The Decentraland Editor is not a scene editor. It is supposed to become one eventually, but that might take some time. That means DCL-Edit is the only editor for interactive scenes. I think right now we should be focusing on bringing quality builders and creators who can create engaging experiences instead of trying to monetize a tool meant by the community for the community, but that is my personal opinion. Monetization can be sorted out later, for example by adding scenes and 3D assets created with DCL-Edit to the Decentraland marketplace. In any case, I firmly believe that DCL-Edit, with all its new features, will be a driving factor for adoption.

@Steezyarts Our team around DCL-Edit has been built throughout 2022. Our workflows are optimized, we have the right person for each position and we're very efficient. Replacing staff to lower costs would have a great risk to reduce efficiency by a notable amount. So while this is of course a point, I don't think we could lower the costs by 50% to 60% and get the same result. These kinds of calculations are always hard to do. What you need is a motivated team of competent developers that are well aligned, efficient and eager to move forward. This can easily double or triple efficiency compared to the average dev team. Of course, we understand that there's always room to reduce costs while remaining productive, and we are taking this into account. Thanks for the feedback!

I believe we need professional tooling in Decentraland in order to attract expert developers. I think in the long-run, this has a greater impact than providing light-weight tools for casual developers. While the latter is absolutely fine and desirable as well, I believe such creations will not be a driving factor for the overall value provided inside Decentraland.

I have used dcl-edit before, but I am not sure this is a tool that DCL community needs right now. Even though you are planning to offer no-code features, there still needs to be a set up done to start working with dcl-edit tool, which is easy to do for developers, but not so easy for other people. With set up I mean installing Node, Visual Studio Code, Decentraland CLI and dcl-edit. Unless you can move to a browser where users don't need to set up anything locally to start using it, I think I will vote no.

Hey Camilo I think it's worth considering the cost benefits of hiring developers from Asia for Decentraland's development. With lower costs in countries like India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. Decentraland could potentially save up to 50-60% on expenses, which could increase profits. Furthermore, I completely agree that making the process of creating scenes easier for users is a significant win for Decentraland. This move can attract more users to the platform who have no experience, resulting in higher engagement levels.

Already got 245k out of two grants. No plan for monetization. And with the DCL Editor from the Foundation making quick progress, I don't know if it still make sense to pour 240k every 6 months in this project.

Hi @jar0d we have been contributing to the DCL community for the last two years on multiple fronts. We are a verified studio (https://studios.decentraland.org/profile/metagamehub-dao) and have made multiple events over the years. One of them even got showcased in their recent [metaverse guide](https://studios.decentraland.org/Metaverse-guide.pdf) We co-organized the 2022 Game Jam with Decentraland and 16 out of 20 winning projects used DCL-Edit to create their games. Here is an overview of the [games created with DCL-Edit](https://decentraland.org/blog/announcements/decentraland-game-jam-2022-winners-announcement/): We did a phygital party called MetaPartyHub were we had 1500 people during Devcon Bogota and were able to stream the event in Decentraland at the same time. Here is a little video about the [event](https://twitter.com/metapartyhub/status/1584987039497584640): Our most successfull event was with our Partner Fitchin (Web3 Esports Platform). We organized a [party](https://fitchincommunitiesparty.gg/) with over 10 wearables, minigames, a jump and run parkour and other quests. The event lasted two hours and over 400 people visited the scene. We had 200 concurrent users which spent an average of 51 minutes on the scene. You can visit the scene [here](https://play.decentraland.org/?position=-132%2C-33). We also participated together with [Espacio Creador](https://escreador.wtf/) and [DRESSX](https://dressx.com/) in the MVFW23 and showcased a famous graffiti artist as well as his signature Traveller Parka. You can visit the scene [here](https://play.decentraland.org/?realm=baldr&position=-62%2C45&island=Iveh4) Here are two more references of our created scenes: - [MGH Community Hub](https://play.decentraland.org/?position=-4%2C-61&realm=athena&island=I9xu) - [Event Location](https://play.decentraland.org/?position=66%2C-48&realm=athena&island=I9xu) We are also big countributors of Somnium Space. There we specialize on created VR compatible games: - [MGH Competitive Hub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDPmuM-Kpg) - [MGH World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWbQ_BWEuq0&t=858s) We were part of The Sandbox Accelerator program together with Brinc and have been creating experiences on that virtual world for quite some time as well. - [MGH The Sandbox Experiences](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/culmclNbpAw) You can visit our [Website](https://metagamehub.io/) or our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MGH_DAO) so you can see the different tools and initiatives we have created for the Decentraland community.

Can we see any examples of gaming experiences you or your tools have helped make in DCL or on other platforms?

We at MGH are very happy to be part of shaping the future of Decentraland. Decentraland has a strong base compared to almost any other open metaverse thanks to the Decentraland SDK. The challenge now is to unfold this potential by providing the necessary tools for expert developers and other creatives alike, providing high accessibility for them. 2023 is the year of the creators, lets make sure they can easily build in Decentraland. To decentralization together!
