Description

### Original proposal ### https://forum.decentraland.org/t/dao-3a70282-dark-dungeons-game/18230 ### Changes in resubmission ### ● __Budget: 54 000$ -> 47 500$__ ● __Land Rental: 2000$ -> 500$__ ● __Locations: 10 -> 8__ ● __LAND: 2x3 -> 1x1__ ### Goal ### The main goal in creating this game is to expand the user base of Decentraland and showcase it as a place to have fun! Decentraland has many casinos and other establishments that require financial investments from players. Thus, for an ordinary user Decentraland looks like a place where everyone wants to get money from you - but it is and can be much more than that! [Demo](https://dark-dungeons.herokuapp.com) [Proposal Demo](https://forum.decentraland.org/t/dao-de7fa02-dungeons-and-dragons-decentraland-demo/15603) [Discord Demo](https://discord.com/channels/894658869391933540/1027268770923827320) [CEN Discord](https://discord.gg/U3w9CZRg) We believe the main thing missing in Decentraland is the reasons for an ordinary user rather than an investor to join Decentraland. The main goal of our game is to become such a reason and thereby attract a large number of new users to Decentraland. The game we want to create will be inspired by Dungeons and Dragons but won’t be its copy. We plan to fill the game with popular memes and other humorous content. There will also be cameos with famous pop culture characters. We decided to simplify some mechanics so that the game fits better into Decentraland and is easy to understand for all users regardless of their experience. ### Scope ### The scope of this grant proposal is ~8 months, until about the end of September 2023. Our goal is to release a game in several steps until we have, by the end of this time, a fully working v1 of our game accessible to all Decentraland users. ### Game mechanics ### As we mentioned, we decided to build a roleplaying experience specific to Decentraland. Some of those modifications are: ● A session in D&D lasts, on average, 2-3 hours; in our game, we want to reduce the time of one session to 15-20 minutes. ● An AI (Artificial Intelligence) will perform the role of the gamemaster (host). Players will have a limited number of action options in a given situation. ### How we see the final result: ### 1. 1-4 players in total in one session. 2. Each character has characteristics (strength, charisma, etc.), specific items in the inventory (crossbow, potion, etc.), and other differences. 3. The characters find themselves in a situation where they need to solve a problem or receive a task from a non-player character in the story. (We expect that the comicality of some situations and the integration of memes and pop culture characters will have a positive impact on marketing.) For example, a simple scenario might be that players start their journey in a tavern, and they need to find a villager-werewolf. The main gameplay will lay in the fact that players will choose options for actions, such as: "Inspect the tavern," or "Start talking to the quiet villager” In total, the player will change up to 4 locations during the game. The game ends when the players have completed the task, failed it, or when all the players’ characters have died. Due to the variability, the game has great replay value. Play as another character, take other companions to your team, and the game outcome will be completely different. We also plan to release new scripts regularly.

Hey, @fifitango @Soulsinger. We have unpaused the smart contract.

Hi DAO Committee (@HPrivakos, @Tobik, @rizk), I'm reaching out to confirm our agreement regarding @soulsinger's request. In January, we reviewed the completion of their game and also conducted a Testing Tuesday session. Additionally, they participated in the DAO Town Hall. Thanks for your attention

SoulsingerFeb 19, 2024

Hello DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk) :wave: :slightly_smiling_face:. We have finally completed our game! Now we ask you to renew the contract so that we can move on to the final stage of the project - marketing.

Noted, thank you @Soulsinger

Hi! :wave: DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk) I would like to request a pause for the vesting contract. After our discussion with GSS, it has been determined that we require an additional month to finalize the game. We faced a lot of difficulties during development. The difficulties mainly arose due to technical problems with SDK 7. Once it's ready, we will request to activate the vesting contract in order to release the remaining funds. :saluting_face: Thank you very much. :slightly_smiling_face:

I agree with you. That's why I always encourage people to share their opinions more often. "Discussio mater veritas est" 🙂

SoulsingerMar 29, 2023

It's great 🥳 we are very glad that you still believe in us. You are doing great projects, and you have been with us from the very beginning, we are pleased when people like you vote for us 🤝 It is very good that you express your opinion, unfortunately, many people do not. I don't want to blame anyone, many of them have good reasons for this, for example, lack of time. But this is a fact 🤷‍♂️

ckbubblesMar 29, 2023

Ahh you are very correct! 100%, I stand corrected. I appreciate you taking the time to remind me heh, especially as this week has been wild launching an experience for MVFW. Knowing that I have supported y'all in the past, and this is indeed one of those proposals I was for, I will be changing my vote to yes!

In the first grant, you even wrote a comment. Thank you for sharing your opinion, whatever it may be. This is important for us :saluting_face:

SoulsingerMar 29, 2023

Hi ckbubbles :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you for expressing your opinion. Could you send some examples? Maybe I'm not aware of their existence, or maybe they're different from what we want to do. I would be happy to take a look at the projects you are talking about. :face_with_monocle: You voted for our project earlier. Maybe you thought these were other people's proposals, but in fact these proposals are ours.

ckbubblesMar 29, 2023

Hey there, sharing my thoughts on why I voted no, as it seems no one else is. I voted no, because this is maybe the 3rd or 4th proposal I've seen for a D&D type game in my time in the DAO. I have actually supported and voted yes on some of those projects — some passed and were brought to life. Unfortunately, as awesome as it was to have those made and see them become real, I haven't seen anyone actually using/playing them. Or driving any attention to or creating content with those. I feel it might be because there really isn't a large appetite for that kind of play at its current state. That doesn't mean you and your team isnt talented or have a good idea, I just don't think now is the time for a grant like this, IMO. I've seen a lot of grants happen that are almost glorified portfolio pieces for their website and nothing more, and I'd rather see some new ideas if I'm going to take a chance on a project. + this would almost close the budget for this category, and as I mentioned I'm not sure its the best use of funds for something that has been made/proposed a few times.
