Golfcraft game and more projects by Eibriel, Pablo & co. This proposal has been ENACTED by a DAO Committee Member (0xbef99f5f55cf7cdb3a70998c57061b7e1386a9b0) Vesting Contract Address: 0xDb2AdAc10b8BB89Ce2139E9534ab7C88bbDf886b

I missed the message, sorry. We created the new vesting contract from January 1st 2023 to June 30th 2023 with no cliff. The vesting address on the grant proposal page will be updated as soon as we fund it.

[quote="yemel, post:17, topic:12674"] The DAO Committee is willing to create a new vesting contract when this legal/accounting issue is fixed. [/quote] Any news on deploying new vesting contract? We notified the GSS team 28 days ago and we have noticed that other contracts have been deployed in the meantime. Keep in mind that it is not really true that the vesting contract was not being used, while we didn't interact with the vesting contract, it was being held as a deposit and guarantee while the whole team was still dedicating fulltime and resources to the proposal, otherwise the team could have organised in other way or work for other customers to support life and/or family expenses. Other point is that we were notified about a revocation (kind of pause we were told) and we quietly accepted and returned contract ownership even though we knew that the terms of the grant program and the proposal signed by 107 adresses were being violated from the DAO side (or by some individuals), as it was specified that "**the beneficiary may withdraw their vested funds as often as they wish**" **** P.S. I would suggest reviewing the official grant terms to avoid it happening again and everyone to fit to the terms and to the signed agreements.

Dear community, The Grant Support Squad was created to support grantees to achieve their goals and to take care of the DAO Treasury, with the main goal of guaranteeing the effectiveness of the Grants Program. We had a meeting with the grantee and we checked that they had fixed the legal/accounting issues and achieved the goals proposed corresponding to the Q3 2022 of the original roadmap (note: golf course parts and space´s wearables are done but will be published in January 2023), and they are at the final stage of the goals corresponding to the Q4 2022, of the new roadmap. On the other hand, they have requested to change the beneficiary address (0xd601dEC04Ef5A6d00863f81E2Cc4D7290efc8872), and to prove it they have sent a message with a signature from https://etherscan.io/ (https://etherscan.io/verifySig/12516) For this reason, we suggest that the DAO Committee (@yemel @HPrivakos) create a new vesting contract with a 6-month duration that coincides with the Q1 and Q2 of 2023. Last but not least, the grantee is willing to make the following updates and this doesn´t have to be used as a precedent, but as a kickstart to continue working[ on this governance proposal](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=71987090-7b71-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c) to have a vesting contract duration that matches with the timeline voted. Best regards, The Grant Support Squad

Hi! Since the accounting issues is solved we've requested the Grant Support Squad to create a new Vesting Contract for the funds.

Because of the revocation/pause of the vesting contract and management delays, we are doing a small modification to the roadmap, the most noticeable one is the “seasons” planned for 2022 Q4, that we move to 2023 Q1, but we will start working on it this week. This would allow us to release it with the level of quality this feature requires. We have never stopped working full time on Golfcraft and fulfilling previous roadmap points till now. We are not removing any task from the roadmap, on the contrary we take this opportunity to add new points about a feature that will make the game a lot more fun: multiplayer game mode. We completed additional, out of roadmap, tasks when that was the right thing to do for the project and the community. Here are some examples of completed tasks that are not in the original roadmap: * The first streamers league in the history of decentraland, with more than a thousand reproductions on Twitch: https://twitter.com/GolfcraftGame/status/1560375731045146624, * The map editor tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=691KRYqgPWQ&list=PLsGY7yOl-15QdZyFQZGET5Qc3rBBpHAyg * The open source utilities that we released: https://ohmyverse.io/category/blender/ , https://github.com/Golfcraft/expression-manager * Multiplayer mode: https://twitter.com/GolfcraftGame/status/1593225058302169089, * More features and events without entering in details. Lastly we would like to clarify that the dates specified in the roadmap for the collections (Space, Urban, Jungle, Mountain) are not for the public release, but the completion of the design and 3d models. We are not releasing the collections as soon as they are completed, that would be confusing for players since some collections would overlap with each other. With launch events for each theme, the plan is to let time to users build maps with a specific theme during a period of time. On the monthly update we have been only reporting a rough summary of main points, but anyone is welcomed to reach us to learn more about our project progress in detail, specially members of the DAO Governance Squad and DAO Support Squad. The project has 2827 commits on the repository. ## Roadmap and milestones 2022 Q3 * [Golf Courses NFTs](https://opensea.io/collection/golfcraftland), [Parts NFTs](https://opensea.io/collection/golfcraftparts) and “play & earn” system around it. The last pillar for the game, and then we can start polishing to improve the game experience and user retention. **DONE** * Golf courses themes for golf course parts and wearables: [Egypt](https://twitter.com/GolfcraftGame/status/1575140529863593984) and Space. **DONE** * * [Daily missions](https://twitter.com/GolfcraftGame/status/1572658101257641984) to improve player retention. **DONE** * Improve onboarding for new players with tutorials and guidance. **DONE** 2022 Q4 * More golf courses themes: Urban. **IN PROGRESS** * * [New mechanics for editing golf courses](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsGY7yOl-15QdZyFQZGET5Qc3rBBpHAyg): wind, explosives, randomness and interactive parts. **DONE** * Continue with user onboarding improvements including story mode with missions **DONE** 2023 Q1 * Seasons with different competitive Tiers. **MOVED, ABOUT TO START** * Social activities (collaborative canvas to draw) & [Multiplayer game modes](https://twitter.com/GolfcraftGame/status/1593225058302169089) * More golf course themes: Jungle, Mountain 2023 Q2 * More effort/resources in marketing to attract also non-decentraland players to the game. * Start the analysis and design for new content to deploy on the neighbor lands, like virtual-pet games, social games, etc. * Theme collections are done, but publication date will be later with launch events.

UPDATE: The DAO Committee has just revoked the vesting contract of this project. It has come to our attention that developers (Pablo&Eibriel) haven’t released any of the funds in the vesting contract nor in the [previous one](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=f7459b10-46e2-11ec-be0c-afec86cba5e5). We understand that they are having legal/accounting issues regarding using the money and it doesn’t make sense to continue vesting money that it’s not being used. We let Pablo & Eibrel know about this concern and they transfer the contract ownership back to the DAO before the revocation, effectively returning all the vested money back to the DAO. The DAO Committee is willing to create a new vesting contract when this legal/accounting issue is fixed.

This project makes me very happy, it is well thought out and solid in its planning, congratulations. :partying_face:

I voted YES cuz we need more activity in DCL and they bring it!

I think reading through the comments, my concerns are also covered. I love what the team has been building, and I appreciate the transparency on all questions asked. I look forward to your continued growth and see what else you can bring to DCL.

That does indeed cover the basis of my personal concerns. I appreciate your time and for providing clear and concise details about your plans and for being transparent in general. I'm giving you my YES in support, and while it may not be much VP, I hope that others who see your answers here see it from the same perspective. Thank you for addressing my concerns and for the contributions you have made to our world over the last 1.5 years. I look forward to seeing Golfcraft and your other projects continue to evolve and add value.

Hi @Frank , @ArtReYou , @SinfulMeatStick thanks for expressing interest on our proposal! This grant is part of a 3 part plan we devised for Golfcraft a long time ago: 1) Start development by ourselves, working part time. 2) Apply for a 120k grant to allow us to work full time in the project for 6 months (and hire more people) to build the foundation of the game. 3) Apply for a 240k grant to allow us to work full time in the project for 12 additional months to complete the game, and launch it as a complete product including marketing and monetization. We already completed the phase 1 and 2, and we are starting to work on the phase 3. Here you can find a [final report for our previous grant](https://governance.decentraland.org/update/?id=6783af60-f4a4-11ec-b5fc-5178246a05ac). Here is how we will be spending the current grant in a 12 months span: - Team (5 working full time) = EUR 222000 - Legal advisors = EUR 6000 - Company maintenance, fixed taxes = EUR 3600 - Marketing = EUR 20000 - Total = EUR 251000 We are already doing some experimentation about monetization. We receive a royalty for each sale on one of our NFTs, we had an store to sell in game currency, and we are exploring ways to allow advertisements in the game. Here are some of the ideas we will be exploring during this time: - Vip season pass to access premium content - Exclusive content for user created maps only available on sale. - Wearables only for sale. - Golf clubs only for sale. We have some, we just didn’t make an active sale with marketing yet. - Gallery on empty 3rd floor with fees - Services to external parties with our skills - Challenges fees - Merchandising In order to any of this methods to work we need to attract more users. On that end we will be working on: - Improving user onboarding - Including additional social experiences - Integrating with other DCL communities - Improve retention through daily and weekly challenges Hope it answer your questions, feel free to ask us anything else you may want to know!

I have a question, How do I create proposal in DAO? I want MANA to be burnt again, at least at some %.

Good afternoon! Nicely Written DAO Proposal. You have a good team Behind you, and I love what Golfcraft brings to Decentraland. I Voted yes for this proposal. But I do have one question at the end of this roadmap Q1 2023. Are you going to propose for another DAO grant for Hundreds of thousands of USD? If you refer to your previous grant that was approved for 120k USD : https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=f7459b10-46e2-11ec-be0c-afec86cba5e5 Your roadmap ended Q2/Q3 2022 which is now! and now this is being proposed. Looks like a pattern to me :thinking: . If this proposal passes the Project would be set to receive 360k USD in DAO funds in 1 year. If the pattern is correct then I personally don't think relying on the DAO to fund your entire project is a sustainable way to go along with things.

I have voted "No" because you already have received a $120K Fund few months ago. https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=f7459b10-46e2-11ec-be0c-afec86cba5e5

I'm likely going to vote yes on this proposal, but I have two questions: 1. **Could we get a breakdown of the how the funds will be utilized specifically?** 2. **Are there any plans to eventually monetize so that you don't have to keep requesting grant money to sustain the project?** I believe your intentions are pure, but it concerns me that monetization doesn't seem to be on the radar. Several other games are being developed with either far less grant funding or absolutely none. I'd like to see a future DCL where existing projects are NOT sustained by grant funding. Additionally I don't see Golfcraft drawing in a large crowd from outside the space, rather as being an option for 'something to do' for those who have already found DCL. Thanks for your time and contributions to our world. Respectfully, Frank/Fancy

Voting yes, although it would be nice to see breakdowns on proposals of this tier as community likes to see how these align with the Roadmap and milestones.

We always believe that golfcraft has immense potential for the decentraland community, updates, improvements and new content every moment, this makes it more interesting every day. Great job to the whole team. I vote yes!

I really like this project and would love to see further development! My vote is YES!

Hi! We are really enjoying our work on Golfcraft and Decentraland, and we would like to grow to even bigger, more ambitious projects. Contribute with your vote and join the ride!
