lol this feels true to me :P

I gave a yes vote because I know you're one of the top content developers of DCL, golfcraft worked perfectly for me the first time and was an inspiration on dynamic set changing. I find this lacking in details and too broad in the writing kind of all over like how do we measure the synergies? :D The human checker this seems to be the main/first deliverable this is going to be something important with AI advances etc. I hope this is going to be something flexible - if the developer just want to do a check/regular captcha for example before reward that should be an option please. With playfab there would be a lot of overlap between existing game mechanisms such as quests and message bus. I hope you mean expanding quests to securely store any players game data such as numeric values, string values. What would be great is if there was a basic web grid for owner manual intervention as well for special scenarios and manual interventions. Compared to nifty island and roblox more of those game mechanisms are built-in such as the concept of player health level. What you're describing would help some in moving in that direction if I'm understanding it. One core feature DCL is missing is to trigger camera effects like spin around player, earthquake.

@Fehz there should be a quiz where people have to be able to prove that at least know where this document is, before they are allowed to submit or comment on grants. https://docs.decentraland.org/player/general/dao/overview/grants-program/

What's a platform grant? 

[quote="BET, post:12, topic:21914"] Developers don’t get paid [/quote] Sure they do, they just have to actually submit grants to develop the platform in ways that are within the Platform grant. If none of you bothered to offer feedback when grant categories were being made, it doesn't mean you can just pretend the category requirements don't exist.

You didn't get the new memo pab? Developers don't get paid.. Doesn't matter who you are or what you've done.. The DAO is building it's new economy without devs somehow :man_shrugging:

So the reason why I made you elaborate is for people to see what you actually propose, this is a major thing and hope some people will change their vote to yes ❤️🫵🏻

It's a backend platform for common game mechanics, to handle users, leaderboards, economy, etc.

[quote="dao, post:1, topic:21914"] Start a game framework similar to playfab. [/quote] Can you explain more about this alot of people probably dont know what playfab is or dont know anything about their framework. I think that this could be major, which is why I voted yes.

I am developer, it's a technical ability and I am part of "DCL". Sorry if I missunderstood, but maybe that governance proposal you link it is not so well specified. if with DCL you refer to the explorer or client, I think it cannot have technical abilities or skills. As google says for technical abilities: "refer to **the specific abilities and knowledge required to perform tasks related to technology, computers, and various tools and software** . These skills are practical in nature and can be acquired through education, training, and hands-on experience."

I am voting NO, I see very little to nothing in your request that follows the definition of a Platform grant. This is also reiterated in the recently passed [Freeze All non-Platform Grant Spending (decentraland.org)](https://decentraland.org/governance/proposal/?id=a89f79f1-7171-4982-8ca1-5a21b5872373) [quote="dao, post:1, topic:21756"] This proposal aims to freeze grant spending on anything other than platform grants to improve the technical abilities of DCL for the entirety of 2024 or until a proposal to reverse that is enacted. By “platform grants to improve technical abilities of DCL,” this means no Platform grants to make art, builds, or anything that isn’t primarily technical in nature. [/quote]

Well, I started reading it when it was a core unit grant, so it seems unlikely that it would copy-paste into a more technical category seamlessly.

with your answer so fast Im wondering if you really have read the proposal.

I think so, 100% of requirements will be met

Is this grant actually a Platform grant? **2- Platform** Creation of tools and applications that extend the power of the Decentraland platform or provide alternative ways to explore Decentraland’s ecosystem. * Requirements: * Build in the public, publishing open source code and documentation. * Performance Metrics: * The number of contributions made to the main repository of code. * Publish the tool or application to production and provide usage metrics.

I have my most honest will to contribute and be fair with the DAO, thanks in advance to those who will trust me.
