Free to Play Collectible Game

By producing an innovative game backed by NFTs, users' in-game items have real-world value. This would also introduce new users to Cardano.

The team includes 8 people of diverse skill sets including software development, music, 2D animation, graphic design, and accounting.

Game Overview:

SafeGuard Protocol will be an autobattler iOS game with an anime/mech theme. We will initially release 15 "Pilots" with unique stats and art. We will take inspiration from real-world trading card games, making all characters tradeable(something not present in any Gacha game today), as well as potentially offering new art for each "generation".

Initial scope on release:

• Single player story-driven mode
• 15 Characters, backed by NFTs
• Autobattler gameplay

Post-release features planned:

• Collaboration events with popular IPs
• A marketplace for trading
• A "Trophy Room" to show off collected characters
• Social features
• Release on other platforms

Budget:

The biggest challenge we face is that we do not have an already popular IP. This is why high quality art and marketing are vital. We are asking for $50k, which we will use to commission professional assets and marketing.

Planned assets to commission include:

• Illustrations
• Promotional art
• Voice acting

Planned marketing expenses include:

• Contracting an animation studio to produce a trailer
• Partnering with game influencers
• Ads on social media

Monetization/ IP:

Most of the game will be our IP and closed source. However, we do plan to open source any smart contracts relating to pulling characters for full transparency. Our game will be free to play, with the option to buy more rolls/loot boxes. By offering the ability to earn free characters we will create many new Cardano users.
