Gaming - Open world games, card games, RPG, etc.
-
We are mainly focused on addressing this category of creating an immersive 2D Fantasy RPG experience on Cardano.
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
- Main Risks
- Not getting funded from Project Catalyst
- We will mitigate not getting funded by self funding developers from our own personal funds and continuing to build and submit proposals on the next Project Catalyst rounds.
- Lack of motivation to complete the game
- There is central love for gaming, RPGs, and Cardano for the team members building this game. We all have a love for gaming and developing the game of our dreams on Cardano.
- Its too much for a small team
- Our team has experience building multiple projects on their own for example Budja.io was built by one person on the team.
