Description

Exodus is located at coordinate (126,44), and is available for anyone to play for free. Players can choose to train a variety of skills, create tools, forge armors, and combat creatures. The game will feature a range of different environments, including a city, forest, farm, dungeons and more, each area coming with its own unique challenges and opportunities. Logs, ore, and food, as well as crafted items like swords and armors, will be tradable in a player driven economy. Players will also be able to interact with one another in other meaningful ways like questing, game-wide events, and seasonal activities. This will create a sense of community and social connection within the game and encourage players to form long-lasting friendships and alliances. ExodusGBW has proven itself to have a growing and active player base, consistently appearing as one of the most trafficked scenes in DCL. Exodus's seasonal events, like its 2022 Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas events, provide consistent content as well as an opportunity for players to gather with each other while gaming during the holidays. This, in addition to consistent updates to gameplay and the Exodus scene make the game engaging as well as playable for hundreds of hours! Being an MRPG, Exodus places a focus on allowing players to own items they earn in-game. As such, NFTs and blockchain technology are often integrated into gameplay. As an example, Exodus has minted thousands of Decentraland wearable Santa hats as rewards for its currently ongoing Christmas event! ExodusGBW will continue to take providing players the opportunity to own NFTs earned through gameplay as one of the most important aspects of being an MRPG. While providing consistent content for players, Exodus also provides opportunities for interns. Its senior engineers and designers are happy to mentor and train students to be part of the team. ExodusGBW is proud that its most recent interns have become productive members of its engineering team who are also capable of producing playable content. Exodus intends to continue providing such opportunities to expand the educational outreach of the metaverse and DCL. To conclude, ExodusGBW is a MRPG with a proven track record of shipping engaging content, promoting community involvement, and providing educational outreach and opportunity in DCL. ExodusGBW focuses on allowing players to own NFTs through fun and re-playable content. This grant is focused on supporting the continued development of Exodus in DCL.

It a xmas miracle. 4.0M VP whale changed his No to a Yes with a couple hours to spare. ![grinch_img2|650x485](upload://pHmb2htvhOeRZO1l7hWzZG0y3jF.jpeg) When we doing this in DCL fam to celebrate?

GalerieJan 11, 2023

This is why it’s hard for me to give a yes base on the fact i can only evaluate what i see and what i play but if people in DCL know you and believe you can deliver a good gaming experience and bring more value member to the community a vote yes is fine

GalerieJan 11, 2023

Never really got the chance to really get to know you guys since you don’t really hang at the place i usually hang out

GalerieJan 11, 2023

I do still value JTV community and respect all the work your team is putting into the game and yes my vote can also be a Yes considering all the work you and your team is putting into the game. ❤️

InJesterrJan 11, 2023

I believe someone is going to clutch this proposal to a yes <3

PixeliaGalleryJan 10, 2023

Im happy to see this proposal, it was in the end all I needed personally to be able to support it an amount that made sense and a proporsal that was properly drafted. I personally dont enjoy the game nor am a big Fan of JTV but I will support this proposal because I believe his project brings value to DCL. I hope you keep up the good work man, big shout out to you and your team for your consistent effort.

Ahmad_HJan 10, 2023

Appreciate what you did for us!

jar0dJan 10, 2023

DG's vote is in. One of the larger no votes is going to play some and reconsider. Did my best. Good luck. ![123321|289x306](upload://sDhvxAYr8e8k3EwsR293sjh5Z49.jpeg)

![FlthmcXWYAMQt5J|680x343](upload://nlQrCRY3XkuoAS8Q9zCdOZcQQoU.jpeg) ![image|690x351](upload://xRraK6PbFZJSZBr6q3jZVzk0v3p.jpeg) It's unfortunate you were unable to experience Exodus due to Decentraland having loading issues for you. It's continuing to be improved everyday. It would only be fair to play before condemning the enjoyment and potential of a game. While good graphics are important, we strive toward playability and user experience and we believe that is very crucial. I agree there should be more sports games available on the platform, although multiplayer sports like American football or soccer may not be feasible at this time due to potential issues with lag. Please refer to the images provided for visuals on design development.

trevor123Jan 10, 2023

hey thanks for the feedback :heart:. We are currently redoing our ui and ux. We value graphics but also features and plan to improve graphics over time as it is an easy switch code wise. :slight_smile:

GalerieJan 10, 2023

To be honest i went to see and no improvement on the graphics… didn’t had the chance to try and play again DCL wasn’t loading.I assume the game play didn’t change at all just new skills.I just don’t feel this game. I tried soul magic and had lots of fun for 15 mins and i recommended trying that game. My vote is still No. DCL don’t need another RPG. I think DCL is due for sports games.

CheddarQuesoJan 08, 2023

I agree with @Mimsy. Controversy aside the budget is vague. Understood that exact numbers can't be provided right now but an anticipated budget should not be impossible. Things can change and in the updates, a report of actual expenses can be uploaded. Its important that we are able to compare how the money was intended to be used and how it was actually spent. It will help us better evaluate the success or effectiveness of the proposal. This is something that we should require of all grantees.

MimsyJan 07, 2023

@Maserphaz Thank you for taking the time to provide some more context on the team's situation. [quote="Maserphaz, post:110, topic:17393"] A direct example would be allowing one of our very talented full-time student coders to work on the project instead of juggling around a part-time job for a moment. [/quote] In my personal opinion, having context to the issues the team is facing like this in addition to a more detailed budget that reflects where funds are going to remedy these issues is what is missing for me to be comfortable agreeing with the DAO helping to fund a project. To me, it's important to know what the plan is for the funds, and why. I wish there was more of this information and transparency from the beginning, and maybe we could have saved some thread length 😅 While I have been to the Exodus game on several occasions and do see the promise, honestly I've never tuned into JTV steams because of all the controversy that seems to be around them. So I think a lot of assumptions are made that the community knows all the history, and is in tune with what JTV is doing, when that's not always the case- some just have questions and it's a bummer they can't be asked without things turning into such a mess.

MaserphazJan 07, 2023

Foremost, I want to thank the more than 200 entities that have voted YES on our proposal. It truly does mean a lot to see the positive support. Next, I personally have nothing against Jar0d or anyone within DCL. It has been really exciting to see him take an objective look at Exodus and support us. Thank you for that! I can agree tensions are running high on both sides and it is hard to find a moment to come to a point to accurately and intentionally listen to each other. I believe JTV has done a lot to promote DCL and has been very net positive for it. I do also believe that he has had critical views of DCL too, in part because he IS so passionate about the platform. I feel if we do take a look at the similar passed proposals and our current one, we can agree that we are not asking for anything more than others. Taking a look at our original proposal, [Exodus: Goodbye World Development 7/22](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=38896e40-0122-11ed-8f44-ef1722f0509f), you can see that we have more or less accomplished what we have set out to do. There has been some slippage due to complexity, time, and wherewithal. Some of the concerns I feel I see can be directly related and remedied by a passed proposal. Since we are all doing this in our spare time, a grant can allow some of us to devote a greater concerted effort to advancing the project without as heavy life consequences. A direct example would be allowing one of our very talented full-time student coders to work on the project instead of juggling around a part-time job for a moment. Exodus is much more than just JTV, and I hope you'll allow us the opportunity to help DCL and us advance and thrive. I am more than happy to explain any further details or opinions you may have. DM me or email at Exodus@exodusgbw.io Thank you, Maserphaz

SinfulMeatStickJan 07, 2023

I really believe in the proposal , and wanted to reach out to the porn wallet to see if there would be any way they would reconsider their vote. but after looking at this comment board I think I'm going to take a step back from that idea... I voted yes on this proposal because @JTV and his team have put in the work and have been here everyday building, and bringing value to Decentraland. A lot was said on this thread, I feel like if we took the same energy that was dumped in this disappointing thread and put it towards cheering and advocating for a hard working community member this Proposal would pass. I really appreciate what you do @JTV , I wish you luck.

DOCTORdrippJan 06, 2023

Thank you for this. I feel like I'm the one coming sideways now. I never intended to insult JTV's character, but clearly I've done so. I'm sorry JTV I'm not trying to say you're a bad guy. I was making a point that there were multiple sides to the argument. I've definitely come on heavy today.

JTVJan 06, 2023

Happy to answer non related proposal content in DMs. This is not the place to continue this discussion. It was a curiosity question to other creators. That’s good you’ve been profitable.

MimsyJan 06, 2023

@DOCTORdripp I feel like a lot of people came in here with genuine intentions to support Exodus and stay objective, focusing on the actual proposal, despite the history or former opinions. I don't get why the "supporters" insist on turning the conversation sideways. Saying this is a bummer is for real. Really appreciate your part in this thread though as you've voiced a lot of good points on both sides.

SanninJan 06, 2023

Nothing to do with this prop - I'm curious on how you got to this or how was survey ran? Was it before or after submissions were lowered and pegged to USD value ? I can definitely say I sold enough to cover and make profits on total submissions but may have additional factors involved.

TheGoldGuyJan 06, 2023

We all invested in decentraland at our own risk.

DOCTORdrippJan 06, 2023

It was only relevant to Ahmad's statement that you were victimized for little to no reason. This has heavily digressed.

JTVJan 06, 2023

I do not see how a tweet from nearly a year ago regarding a tweet of publishers success is relevant to this proposal. To add, the post was a personal experience from creators I had spoken to. I did not reference any Decentraland facts but my observation from my own personal experience.
