Description

**Vision** Our vision for the IWB Game Creator is to enable anyone to become a game creator. We want to lower the barriers for creating engaging and dynamic experiences within Decentraland. We imagine tons of Decentraland Worlds populated with many different game types - from shooters to scavenger hunts, from races to mazes - all created by Decentraland users without having to code one line. **Problem** **TL,DR**: There isn’t any “addictive” or “repetitive” content within Decentraland. It’s tough to create scenes, there are other metaverses making it easier to create and play within their platform, and there’s not enough reason (content) for people to stay or come back. There are few problems within the current Decentraland ecosystem: - The first being a high level requirement for coding experiences. Prior to the In World Builder, an extensive knowledge of the Decentraland SDK and/or other coding practices were required to develop even a simple live stream scene. - Currently, Decentraland is having a hard time retaining both creators and users. The difficulty to create engaging and interactive experiences has taken a toll on the growth and activity of the platform. The lack of engaging content has driven users to other metaverse platforms and the creators have followed. - Incentivization, or lack there of - both from a creator perspective and a user perspective **Solution** With the IWB Game Creator, We are going to create multiple different game systems which can be clicked and placed within your Decentraland scene INSIDE Decentraland. These game systems will be complimentary to the extensive catalog of 3d assets already available in IWB. *ex. Imagine wanting to create a maze game. With IWB Game Creator, pick and place your environment assets from the IWB Catalog; choose and drop your puzzle pieces and clues along the maze route; add a timer for competitive gameplay; determine your win conditions and rewards. Click create and your game is immediately available to play by all visitors to your World!* Each game system will have additional customizations for the creator to vary game play. We will have 3 high level game loops that can be further customized to create many different game modes. **Game Systems** * Time Based System - *Mazes, escape rooms, parkour, races, scavenger hunts* * Combat System - *shooters, deathmatches, battle royales, king of the hill* * Wave System - *duck hunt, asteroid, enemy wave shooter, arcade shooter* **Templates** Include the “free sample” templates along with the ingredients for these games. (ie. a complete maze game, a complete pvp arena for deathmatch…) **Summary** We have built the foundation for creators to build amazing scenes and experiences without coding knowledge or 3d modeling experience all done INSIDE Decentraland with the In World Builder. The IWB Game Creator makes it easy to create interactive games and experiences with the click of a button. Our goal with the IWB Game Creator is to achieve the “addictive” and “repetitive” gamer behavior through simple, yet powerful games.

![image|690x388](upload://isWLkCDCc9gvjlqJCdWTgXc0JP1.jpeg) Couldn't find this in the new client..

pabloOct 23, 2024

btw, I see the link in[ studios](https://studios.decentraland.org/resources?sdk_version=SDK7&resource_type=Library) points to a repository with 3d models but not the repository of the code which I think is https://github.com/last-slice/dcl-iwb Also, I see it's added to the "library" section, but this is not a library; it's a scene. Maybe a tool, but not a library we can install through a package manager afaik. It can be confusing for future devs looking for libraries.

Today we had our final meeting with Mease from In World Builder - No Code Game Creator. We reviewed the roadmap, and all deliverables are complete. Update 5 will be posted on the Public Roadmap (link) and as a comment under Update 4. This is the final project report, and we’ve also created an opportunity for the community to contribute by making tutorial videos. A Google Form with instructions and a signup link has been created so participants can get paid for helping us with the videos. We've shared this information on our IWB Discord channel, as well as the project's channel in the DCL DAO Discord, to inform the public. It’s also posted on our In World Builder Twitter page. Twitter post: https://x.com/InWorldBuilder/status/1846592906427003203 Google Form with directions and signup: https://t.co/ry3FzBk7HU Additionally, custom servers are currently not working with the client, as the azngar isn’t showing up in the new client. A ticket request will be created on Canny and submitted to the Help channel on Decentraland's Discord. Fifi will forward this to both the SDK Team and the Foundation Dev Team for support.

In World Builder - No Code Game Creator This proposal has been ENACTED by a DAO Committee Member (0x88013d7ed946dd8292268a6ff69165a97a89a639) Vesting Contract Addresses: 0x2EfcbDea08eFE760DbC9D0E04a605C2e987F84D9

Please DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk) create the vesting contract with the following details: * Amount: $122,000 USD in DAI * Duration: 5 months * Starting date: May 1th, 2024 Thank you so much. FIFI

Hello @lastraum! How are you? Thank you for your message. We have reviewed the process based on your case, so below we clarify everything so that you can be assured that everything was done correctly according to the current rules of the DAO: 1. The proposal that defines this issue of the dates of contracts and payments [is this](https://decentraland.org/governance/proposal/?id=71987090-7b71-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c): where it explains the reason why the DAO Committee is acting in this manner. Their obligation is to enact the contracts based on the requested payment dates. We agree with you that it is something that can be improved given what is happening with you, but unfortunately, that is how it is today. 2. The GSS has an onboarding process that includes a prior analysis and communications with the grants. Here you can see it in the [GSS manual](https://www.notion.so/dcl-dao/Grant-Support-Squad-Manual-of-Operations-bc14cb2ffc0c4df18302bcffc6b60b2f?pvs=4). In your case, the analysis process was carried out and Fifi sent you the onboarding email where she explicitly explained the rule of dates (sic: *Your Vesting Contract will be created by the DAO Committee after our onboarding meeting. Since your voting period ended on April 2nd and you choose to be paid on the first day of the month, the contract will start in May, and your first payment will be on the 1st of June.*). This happened on April 9, 7 days after your grant passed. The GSS has a limit of 7 days to send that email (since it is the time when we do the prior analysis, etc) and it is true that yours was at the limit of the date, but honestly, this is the first time we have a problem with this. 3. Regarding the creation of contracts, we have a 15-day window in which the DAO Committee waits for us to create them, so that if we find irregularities in the project or the execution times do not coincide with the contract requested by the grantee, we can request some modification. This is what we tried to do with yours, but the truth is that clearly, we cannot make retroactive requests. We also agree with you that there is room for improvement to propose via governance - in line with what you say - that we can work to improve these types of cases. I hope this clarifies this specific issue, apologies if any of this affected your work (I just wanted you to know that we were within the framework of the rules of our DAO) and thank you for bringing it up as it opens up space for improvements. Regards!

There needs to be better communication around this. Ultimately, this process needs to be improved for future grantees. These grant systems seem to approach proposals with the mindset of individuals applying for grants. There also needs to be consideration around how to include future studios into this process. We are a team and have approached our grant proposal(s) with countless hours of preparation, documentation, and design around each proposal. We are ready to hit the ground running once the voting period ends and the proposal passes. To do all the work on the front end to create a project concept, design, proposal (essentially business plan), and marketing and community calls and feedback, along with 2 week voting period, and then just have to wait for a month really stalls the project. It really hinders development, especially in the platform category, to sit around and wait a minimum of 1 month - up to 1.5 months - before your vesting contract begins. **I will explain our case to hopefully shed light on areas of improvement within the grant system** - Voting ended April 2nd. We had our onboarding meeting with the GSS **TWO WEEKS** after the voting ended....why wait so long? Our team had an internal meeting April 3rd and were ready to begin work. - Then, we have to wait **ANOTHER** 2 weeks up to 4 weeks for the vesting contract to get created and our project timeline to *start.* - This means **1 month** up to **1.5 months** out of 12....which is almost **11%** of the calendar year is wasted just waiting for our project to *start.* - So much time is wasted between the voting period ending -> GSS Meeting -> Vesting Contract getting created. **Improvement suggestions** - The GSS should place a hold on their calendars within 3 days of a proposal ending. If the proposal passes, the meeting gets scheduled. This should be clearly explained in the proposal submittal process. - Once the meeting occurs and the GSS feels comfortable with the proposal and feasibilty (etc etc etc) - which honestly should have happened during the proposal period - then the GSS has the ability to press a button which *starts* the project. This would alert the DAO Committee to enact the vesting contract within 3-5 days depending on holidays, weekends, sickness, etc. - To my knowledge, and I'm happy to be better informed, the DAO Committee only enacts things every Tuesday? Why? There needs to be a better process for more real time activations. If this requires paying the DAO Committee more, great, let's do it. - Again, I'm happy to be better informed, but I haven't found any documentation explaining what happens, and why you have to wait at least 1 month, when you choose **1st of the month or 15th of the month** when submitting a grant. It would be great, in the short term if nothing changes, to have documentation explaining the potential start date for your project. - Currently, it seems like you have to work backwards to figure out when your project will start and then decide when to submit a proposal based on the voting period ending. - This should be better documented at a minimum and ultimately be more flexible for real time setup of proposals. Again, we need to think about how to improve this process if we are trying to attract other development studios in the future. They will be sophisticated and ready to hit the ground running once voting is over. They won't want to sit around and wait for a month for administrative purposes.

HPrivakosApr 16, 2024

We cannot create the vesting contract earlier than it should, sorry. Either the start date will be May 1st or May 15th but we cannot do April 15th as the proposal ended on April 2nd.

fifitangoApr 16, 2024

Dear Community, The [Grant Support Squad](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=7a236540-d305-11ec-b521-2f98ffa6ccb0) was created to support grantees in achieving their goals and managing the DAO treasury. After a thorough review of this project, the Squad recommends the vesting contract starts 15th April and Payout Strategy for Monthly on the 15st day. Therefore, we recommend that the DAO Committee (@HPrivakos @Tobik @rizk) create the vesting contract with the following details: * Amount: $122,000 USD in DAI * Duration: 5 months * Starting date: April 15st, 2024 Thank you so much.

![image|690x387](upload://udtVuZX543BhTm6EjQ1cInv6h7j.jpeg) I'm on my plot in Decentraland ... I see no builder or tools ... Is there a special button I'm missing? ... this is seamless building in Decentraland right?

ZomApr 02, 2024

In Decentraland Genesis? I guess that is what I'm saying is you can do this in DCL genesis. I have seen Lastraum demonstrate this in Angzaar on the go in DCL "genesis" building, not in Worlds ... that was what I'd imagine to be able to do after the first grant.

NikkiFuegoApr 02, 2024

You CAN build with others and you CAN build on the go. I'm not sure what you're misinterpreting. If you try it out or watch any of the content on their twitter/youtube you can see it does exactly that. I was building with 3 people live the other day for several hours seamlessly. They could see what I was building live and I could see what they were building live. With our avatars. All inside Decentraland. Not on an external site, not on a different platform. All inside Decentraland. Again, you should try it out :slight_smile:

ZomApr 02, 2024

I figure that was the main selling point here is having in Decentraland building ... like we can change it in world as we'd want it on the go and with others. What is being said now is it only works in worlds that way, hench not fitting the function or that first bullet "Everything in world: Build inside Decentraland for Decentraland" ... more like build everything in World with export to the other parts of DCL.

NikkiFuegoApr 02, 2024

@Zom I've built many scenes and used every building tool. Regardless of where you build a scene for Decentraland, it's never in Genesis City. Whether you use SDK or the DCL Builder. It's all done outside of Genesis and deployed to Genesis or Worlds. IWB works exactly the same except you can build directly in the scene unlike the DCL builder or SDK. It's literally in-world building which you can NOT do with the out of box SDK package or DCL Builder. It's easier to understand if you demo it and try using it. I promise it's a better experience than the available options.

ZomApr 02, 2024

How is that seamlessly building in world then? If I can't build in DCL genesis and only somewhere else to save/export and deploy ... as far as I can tell that is not 'in world' building ... I can't change stuff on the go in DCL genesis as the first proposal would have people believe, only build else where and save and import?

lastraumApr 02, 2024

As stated in the prior reply, this is functional inside Decentraland already. This is not a "LastSlice World" - anyone with a DCL name can build using the In World Builder toolset.

lastraumApr 02, 2024

Yes, building 'in world' means building inside the platform of Decentraland. The Decentraland platform would include Genesis City or World servers. You can download your scene from the World server or deploy to Genesis City. So, yes, the first bullet is true - building inside the Decentraland platform.

ZomApr 02, 2024

![image|690x344](upload://sBcn3r3cxlIunftI4Bn5oe5yVrx.png) The very first bullet there "Everything in world: Build inside Decentraland for Decentraland" Is this not only functional in one World? How was this first grant deemed completed when not "inside Decentraland" ... but only in LastSlice world. Looks like DAO funds are being used to build LastSlice World.

ZomApr 02, 2024

Was this not supposed to be functional in DCL ... not just LastSlice's world. Are more DAO funds going to be needed to make it functional in DCL genesis? The way it looks DAO funds are being used to build LastSlice's world. Is it even functional in other Worlds in DCL?

lastraumApr 02, 2024

This is a DAO funded project, therefore it will be built and discussed in the DAO discord grant channels just like every other grant.

ZomApr 02, 2024

When is this going to be available to DCL genesis? ... voting no due to project leader, no application in DCL genesis, and not having access to discord of where it is being build and discussed.

lastraumApr 01, 2024

Decentraland worlds offer more flexibility. Decentraland worlds also have the same platform capabilities and functionalities as Genesis city. The benefit also is not having pesky neighbors making your scene slower. A single parcel in decentraland can only have 15mb of storage. Our toolset is much larger than that to offer over 4,000 ready assets to add to your scene without coding. Deploying to worlds allows for larger scene sizes physically and also for 100mb+ in terms of storage. Anyone with a decentraland name can deploy to the IWB server for free and get 2400 parcels to immediately build out.

HelpimstreamingApr 01, 2024

man im not trying to randomly hate but when you say "placed within your Decentraland scene INSIDE Decentraland" or "immediately available to play by all visitors to your World" you mean the IWB world not our world. I mean my vote is minimal so it's irrelevant but I would really be for it if it was for the whole dcl platform. Like wondermine would really benefit from this function. I wont vote but I hope the goal is for the progression of the whole of dcl. Again no malice and my vote is irrelevant, I do actually support this but I hope the goal is for the whole. All peace and love.
