Hi @nicnode Could you please write a few more lines explaining your idea? As of now, I am not sure what exactly you want to build here. Would it be an online portal where users will do certain tasks, hopping from one project to another?
Hi @AdvantageBlockchain & @OPUser, thanks for the comments! I believe your questions overlap a bit, so Iām answering to both of you below:
I think the fundamental difference with the linked MRP is that this one is aimed at the creation of a gaming experience (vs a gamified educational platform or task portal). It would encourage builders to create videogames in which projects find synergies with each other, encouraging users to explore the OP ecosystem in more width and depth. For example it can be something as simple as ātransacting in X DeFi Protocol unlocks a specific asset in the videogameā. I believe this is in line with your comment in the other post:
In short: the mission would be to build the POC of a videogame that encourages players to use other protocols and products from the Optimism ecosystem (but are not necessarily fully central to the game mechanic), and get some initial testers for it.
For full transparency and as an example, Iām motivated to apply to this MR myself with a videogame that Iām designing in which you can purchase NFTs as a way to sponsor an animal in a wildlife sanctuary (pilot with Senda Verde in Bolivia), and can modify the animalās environment (kinda like Zoo Tycoon) where some of the assets can only be unlocked if you interacted with other smart contracts or own specific NFTs or ERC-20s.
However, I believe thereās potential for other really cool ideas with similar dynamics (e.g. a shooter in which the ammo is based on how much you donated to a Gitcoin round on Optimism.)
I hope this made it a bit more clear and tangible, and Iām looking forward to your feedback. If it did, how can I make it clearer on the proposal?
Also, do you think the budget is better justified with this clarification? I personally think itās actually rather on the lower bound (thus only requesting a POC, and not a more developed game), but Iām curious to hear your take.
Hey @nicnode ā just wanted to flag this as a proposal that still needs delegate approvals in order to move to a vote. If you are no longer interested in pursuing this proposal ā please disregard this message. In order to see the delegates assigned to your proposal those can be found here. The deadline to provide feedback and approvals for Mission Requests is February 7th at 19:00
Definitely still interested in pushing this proposal - weāre working on the modifications with @brichis . I would suggest changing the baseline grant amount to 60k OP and the applicant number fixed to 3 - to have 20k OP for each applicant.
Let me know If you want to do any other change
