Game Asset Management - [Revelar]

On the back of building our own NFT game - Duo - a huge opportunity presented itself for game developers or teams trying to manage multiple mints, projects, sets, or collections of game assets. Relationships between these collections, across games or all within one game were missing from the workflow, and sorting / filtering content was difficult at best, nearly impossible to provide efficient support if something went wrong.

Revelar is the first NFT Game Engine on Cardano and will bring gaming specific tooling for game developers / teams to spend their time on the game, not integrating it with Cardano.

This proposal covers the game asset management dashboard within the Revelar NFT Game Engine v1. We will offer both pre minting and post minting asset management so team's can collaborate and distribute their content across games, users, and manage new collections and content for their games over time.

V1 of this dashboard will include:

- Import / Create / manage projects

- Policy ID verification workflow (Single & Multiple)

- Asset Storage pre-mint

- Multiple users with roles and permissions to view, edit, mint assets.

- View inventory stats in real time with Reserve queues during a congested launch.

Measurables (Auditability)

As defined by the challenge, our goal is to focus on three key metrics over a 3, 6, 12 month period for the Revelar Game engine's impact on Cardano NFT games.

Number of unique projects that use this website (targeting non-developers)

Number of assets created through our generator be minted as a CNFT for gaming & % that end up being minted.

Mint day value (ADA) of CNFT's that contain assets created by our generator.

Our 3 month goal after v1 of the website is live is 5 projects with > 10,000 assets each.

Our 6 month goal is 10 projects with > 10,000 assets each.

Our 12 month goal is 25 projects with > 10,000 assets each

If we reach our minimum 6 month goal of 10 projects with 1000 assets each, at an average price of 30ADA per asset we can create (10*10,000*30) = 300,000ADA in value for indie games/artists, create 60,000 Assets, help onboard thousands of gamers, and bring a foundation to managing assets during and post launch.

Development Timeline (Audibility)

Start 1 month post funding:

- Mid Feb - March 1st 22' (Sprint 1): Frontend UI/UX design finalized.

- Weeks 3 & 4 (Sprint 2): Begin frontend development of final UI/UX design, test web app with backend cloud services.

- Weeks 5 & 6 (Sprint 3): Dev load testing of web app and final tweaks to frontend code

- Mid April (Sprint 4): Launch public Beta

Public delivery by: April 26th, 2022

Costs & Use of Funds (Auditability)

The funds used in the development of this webapp will be used to (partially) pay developers. We will be paying all cloud service costs out of pocket. Since this will ultimately be a commercialized service for developers, Revelar will provide the equivalent of USD value in credits to artists / projects who use the Revelar Game Engine on a first-come-first serve basis (cap per project). This will extend the Catalyst Fund value to projects (verifiable with our JSON metadata) far beyond this initial investment.

Development hours: 225 (2 devs each contributing ~14 hrs each week for 8 weeks)

This ends up being $34/hr to the developers, the rest of their rate will be covered by Revelar.
