It is the stars that have never been known to humans and it seems that since it is also unknown that the character's earth exists. In the context of this game, the more players discover in the game, the more chances they have to receive valuable NFT items. 

There is not much combat at this level, instead, the character needs to complete missions to discover many dead star planets. The character must have a special spacecraft to be able to explore the infinity of stars with millions of light-years.

Overview about game mechanics:

     - The game allows players in the following forms:

• Play to Earn (allows the purchase and exchange of items accessible as a special part of the game).
• Playing Free
  (You can still experience the game at a basic level and hunt for items).
• Play to Earn goto Travel
  (It's a perfect scenario where players hold the game's ADA and $ISKY, NFT coins as a reward for paying for their unusual travel).

     - Characters must complete the tasks in each phase to move to the next phases of the game.

     - The task of each phase will be different and the game space, graphics, and scenery are different. 

Like searching through the game space for special NFT items, quests to fight enemies or space monsters.

     - Strange objects or meteorites always exist in the game that keeps gamers cautious all the time.

     - Gamer will collect points, items through gameplay which can be converted into game tokens and ADA through staking, farming or trading.

     - Mechanism of hybridization of special meteorites collected. Create high-value NFT items in the game. Players can stake these items for rewards or use them to upgrade their spacecraft to a more special version.

     - There is also a marketplace for players to store items, buy, sell, exchange or upgrade items (such as Spaceships, clothes, weapons, powers, other accessories ..).

     - So the economy is built in the game in a way to be beneficial to the parties involved.

This is our long-term vision and the continued evolving of the game helps players to experience the most enjoyable game experience.

============ Our way to a successful business model ===========

We have been working in the game development area for more than 10 years.

To keep this game thriving for the long term, we have designed an economy model inside the game as well as optimized the Tokenomic allocation.

Furthermore, Token and NFT issuance will create a chance for funds to directly take part in keeping

We have invested in time and human resources for a long time to gain the preliminary success of this game.

This fundraising round will help to accelerate the game release to receive more feedback from the community,

extend the market (increase the number of users), and improve the game experience and graphic design.

The issuance of special NFT will create a supplemental finance source for game development and system maintenance.

NFT and token will create a chance for investors/gamers to make their contribution to keeping this game continue to evolve.

Our ultimate goal is to create a big flash in other cryptocurrency communities and to attract more gamers and investors toward Cardano currency.

In the longer term, we also plan to target gamers who both love playing the game and traveling by integrating ADAPay into the game and other travel platforms.

We want to integrate with existing travel and hotel booking platforms, Airbnb to allow gamers to pay in the form of PlaytoEarn-GotoTravel.

Last but not the least, we are calling for investment with 850K USD for 10% of this game value.

In summary, with this game, our goals are as below:

     - Create a role-playing game to attract gamers from another crypto current platform to Cardano

     - Create an economic model within the game ecosystem in which gamers can gain their stake through game items, points, NFT and Tokens.

     - Create the real value for the token game by integrating ADApay with another booking platform

     - Create Sandbox Mataverse allowing gamers to enjoy the role of an astronaut in a virtual galaxy.

• IMPACT

Enrich the Cardano ecosystem with entertainment value and financial benefits for ADA, NFT and game token holders.

Get more lay-to-earn game players on other crypto platforms to join the Cardano to play IRONSKY games, attracting new investors and gamers.

• FEASIBILITY

We are a team with many years of experience in game making and deep technology knowledge.

Get support from the crypto game community and advice from Catalyst's project evaluation advisory community. We are a multidisciplinary team of more than 10 professionals with a vast skillset from tech, UX/UI, product design, marketing, business and community leading.

• AUDITABILITY

With a carefully calculated and detailed plan from human resources to capital and techniques, we are sure that we are ready for all stages ahead.

We are designing the server system and coding a platform for the game work.

Additional Catalyst Funding resources use for:

1.  Expenses for purchasing software licenses to support game development.

1. Expand marketing to attract the community beyond Cardano into the game.

1. Cost of server rental and cloud computing services.

1. Hire more programmers

1. Hire more artists

1. Game expansion design for phases.

• RISKS

Possible risks with our proposal are:

     - Funds may arrive late or less than expected, affecting resources for the project.

     - Some stages are not ready for support from the Cardano blockchain for the game in the future.

     - Negative influence from the cryptocurrency market.

• SOLUTION

We fully anticipate the above risks as well as the solutions available to them.

In the long term, the cryptocurrency market is having a strong sustainable trend. Blockchain technology is being applied more and more popularly and especially positively in the gaming industry.

In addition, funding from the Catalyst may be delayed. We may be funding a seed round for the initial operating budget of the project. Currently, we gather experienced engineers to research and realize products on the Cardano blockchain. Those things make us determined and confident to carry out this project successfully.

• KEY METRICS - KPIs to achieved in this fund of ours is

     - Create a community on platforms that know IRONSKY game on Cardano platform is 100K~ players on channels (FB, YT, Telegram, Twitter ..)

     - Build up to 100 items NFT in the game.

     - The number of wallets participating in the vote, the number of pools participating in ISPO for the game.

• CONCLUSION

========== Collaboration Let's join us to make it happen ===========

We also want to collaborate with partners in the Catalyst community that share the same goal of growing the Cardano ecosystem.

Our strengths are having a team of experienced game developers who have been developing video and mobile games for a long period and have an in-depth understanding of game technology.

Our core team has all the necessary skills for game development on Internet platforms, The team works in many countries and has a global vision.

With available high-skilled human resources, our project cost is much cheaper compared to outsourcing with swift project implementation.

With extensive experience in game development, we want to enrich the Cardano ecosystem and make it more valuable in the cryptocurrency market.

Let's join us to make it happen, and don't forget to perform ISPO(Initial Stake Pool Offering) with our game so you get both $ADA and $ISKY Game Token in the pools that the community will vote later.

=== Thank you for your support, vote and let's break out the Cardano!===
