Description

The Butterfly Prawn Farm (BPF) is a F2P, P2E farm game that aims to create an easy-to-play Metaverse game in Decentraland (DCL) for the whole community. BPF's goal is to continuously boost and engage the community in DCL. With a delivered Minimum Viable Product (MVP), BPF aims to push the boundaries, building onto fresh and advanced features, catering to farmers (aka players) with months of mileage. Similarly, BPF continues to attract new farmers through the next phase of development (details in the Dropbox link). This baseline game product currently allows the farmers to harvest crops, catch farm animals, perform crafting, ascend the Magic Beanstalk, and scout the Cloud Castle. Being one of the top P2E games in DCL, BPF also offers multiple activities and events with wearable/emote rewards. Furthermore, BPF has also been known to be setting standards on compliance, and introducing new and innovative wearable/emote utilities in DCL. Currently, with high traction, the game quickly propelled seasoned/advanced farmers toward the end of the game. As a result, the team seeks to adhere to the level of dedication and motivation to continue developing advanced features for seasoned farmers. The team is also planning to develop new features to engage new farmers and provide seasoned farmers with more activities within the farm. With the drive to further BPF’s cause to the community and DCL, the team would like to seek funding from the community in this expansion plan. The team also strongly believes that the funding and support will value-add, boost, retain, and engage the community. The team consists of 7 team members with a vast set of skills and experience. Our collaborative experiences include full-stack (frontend & backend) software development and deployment, product management, 2D/3D product design, and operations support. Experience aside, we are a group of game enthusiasts. Passionate and inspired by the Metaverse, we have been actively developing and deploying new features in BPF frequently while tapping into our expertise. We always aim to serve and attract the DCL community better, through one-of-a-kind events, gameplay, and wearables! Our team believes in delivering only the best for DCL community. As we tap into our expertise, the team applies agile development (SCRUM), where we have meetings (daily stand-up and fortnightly sprints) to be kept abreast of development progress, design updates, ideation, and retrospectives. Collaboration: Apart from developing BPF, the team believes in doing what is best for the DCL community as well. Because of this, we actively foster collaboration and compliance. Below is a list of projects/community we collaborated and engaged in during the last grant. 1. Curation station library 2 Meta GamiMall 2. Meta Residence Tower 3. Decentraland Blog Post, written by Yurius, the product manager 4. Project management monthly meeting with video demonstration and metrics to the Grant Support Squad for compliance 5. Monthly reports for compliance Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zmlz0a4pji2tmxm/AAA8nUzmPQvs6_uDn3SPd3hDa?dl=0

How will this work with it being over the category budget allocation available?

Vote: YES A proven team. All 6 updates delivered on time and indicating on task production. Consistent attendance and engagement with substantial, daily, unique visits. Delivery of events, rewards, and competitions utilizing appealing game mechanics. The financial landscape will turn around eventually. When it does the time to have developed appealing content needed to be at least 6 months prior. BPF has been in development and improving their property for a year now. I think this is a good investment of DAO funds. Regarding the future? I recognize that Play to Earn (P2E) models are not currently independently sustainable in this down market. While BPF has impressive numbers, I don't think they are at a level that equate to sustainability right now. I am interested in this team's mention of their "Content Pass". I don't like Pay to Win ($2W) models. Success should be based on skill accumulated through practical or studied experience. If the "Content Pass" is more of a subscription model, I'm all for it.
