<h1>TLDR</h1> Further the WEB3 and creative development of a solo-dev indie game: Quest For Stoken. <h1>About The Game</h1> Quest For Stoken is a 2-D platformer game created by visual artist Zack Goulet (aka [@web-gnar](https://linktr.ee/webgnar)). The working alpha version of the game is available to play here: [stoken.quest](https://www.stoken.quest) The game has been in development for 2 years. It is an action-adventure retro-platformer game produced in part by the [Gnars DAO](https://snapshot.org/#/gnars.eth/proposal/0x0e72c06b7b2208ce492f04811002b07b1203b5fa25bbb38f53fc3c09089bdae8) and [Skatehive](https://www.skatehive.app/) blockchain communities. You play as a sword-wielding skateboarder-- fighting enemies, talking to NPCs, and avoiding traps. Take on a challenge as you make your way through other countries, ecosystems... even outer space, to find your way to the mythical Skatehive, a cybernetic place in-between realities where skateboarders scheme to build their own "stoke token" and liberate the world from mass mind control! ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmUunq8Y7zQp7j9hXYMQEkW7Z7xQYNXRCUTZzw1stfq87s) ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmSEwe5MFT9z4e5WY2ZkWPcbvpfii6r65RapR29rg7pU4e) <h1>What we want to do</h1> 1. Open the game up to Ethereum users using SIWE (Sign In With Ethereum). 2. Create in-game versions of all of the nouns traits, that display as the player's character when they sign in with thier wallet. 3. The player would be able to choose which noun or gnar NFT they want to play as. There are already several Nouns NPCs based on notable people in Gnars Dao. Shown below are a few -- Satori, Gnarsauce, and Benbodhi. (the smoking toad does not yet represent a person in the Dao) ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmPSd2dEqEPxStnE14KzCcwWLWtuektWkBbvDVs7inTbMH) Right now we are only leveraging Hive Blockchain due to its fee-less transactions. The [HTML5 game](https://www.stoken.quest/) is currently hooked up to Hive in a play-to-earn way, but is seeking multi-chain compatibility with Ethereum wallets. <h3>We want to broaden the reach of the game to Ethereum users. Currently, you can only win a POAP, distributed manually, to your ETH address by web-gnar.</h3> <h2>Future development in game features</h2> • Nounish Bosses in the game: ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmfNPhqyeqFPsVZSNQxTwpxZipQAW35uG5eBEcA13s7JtS) • More geographic locations as levels like New York, Rio De Janerio, Paris, India and maybe Pakistan! • Frequent updates to the story and map. • More Nouns NPCs in the game. • More Nounish references in the game. • **Gardener Nouns** hidden in secret areas of each level. <h2>Website Development</h2> • Better graphic design of website. • User profiles that display stats generated from gameplay. • ETH / metamask integration. • Holding certain Noun ecosystem NFTs become variables that alter visual aspects in the game • In-Game tokenization (below) <h2>In-Game Tokenization</h2> How we will tokenize the game has not been hashed out yet. We will want to decide what layer 2 Ethereum blockchain to begin hooking up to the game. Ideas about tokenizing the game is still in brainstorming stage. • Integration of different "coins" that can be collected in game that reference real digital assets. • Cosmetic Skins for the player's character. • Digital art as achievement NFTs. <h2> Real Life Exhibition</h2> • Hand-build a custom game cabinet to display the game at Uprise Skateshop in Chicago. ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmYFCie6b5pFSAAk1PJsVmkNHVzvTs8JiwToMRezLQ8fpk) <h3>Publication</h3> Publish the game on Steam, integrated with [Hyperplay](https://www.hyperplay.xyz/). Working alphas can be found online. • [GX Games](https://gx.games/games/lkitb7/quest-for-stoken/) • [http://www.stoken.quest](https://www.stoken.quest) • [Itch.io](https://web-gnar.itch.io/quest-for-stoken) ![image alt](https://ipfs.backend.prop.house/ipfs/QmWrVpVq1RuALrHoYrybTyeUGnHhyWfVhvBvdW6pyCpgBK) <h2>The Team</h2> • [web-gnar ](https://github.com/webgnar) • [Ali-h](https://github.com/ali-h) • [highlander](https://github.com/BitHighlander) • [Coinmasters Guild](https://github.com/coinmastersguild) <h2>Delivery</h2> 1. 3 ETH - Coding Team - SIWE development and integration with Nouns ecosystem NFTs. <ul> <li>All the nouns traits files are already the perfect size to be imported into the game. Code will need to be written to sync those with traits of the NFTs that users hold, and choose to play with.</li> <li>In-Game Tokenization</li> </ul> 2. 2 ETH - Art Team - Future development of the game, and art assets needed for that mentioned above. <ul> <li>Future development in game features</li> <li>Website Development</li> <li>Real Life Exhibition</li> <li>Publication</li> </ul> We ask for 6 months to deliver what this proposal aims for. Thank you to taking the time to read our proposal. We hope you consider it for your prop house round. -webgnar
