IRONSKY NFT GAME | Build on Mobile | Lido Nation Français

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

========== IRONSKY GAME STORY ==========

The game is a fantasy that spans real life to hundreds of years in the future. The main character is a boy who grew up in the war and joins the air force to protect his homeland. Most of his life is spent in spaceships. He rarely returns to earth, except for visits to do his duty.

From then, the man starts his journey exploring the galaxy, the vast universe. Beside him are friends who are his support in this journey. In this endless journey, he has encountered many interesting things in space.

From having to fight to protect yourself and the loot to doing your own journey quests.

From receiving many strange signals, sounds, languages, light waves, magnetic fields in the universe, to completely new sensations in every moment he contemplates.

The game has 6 phases (AURORA, LUNA, SOLAR, STARS, GALAXY, UNIVERSE)

Overview about game phases:

Phase 1: AURORA

(First light version)

This is the first part of the game, the character is built together with basic components such as the earth space, the sky, and air battles.

Player's Tasks:

Build character with basic skin items such as outfits, hats and power.
Build weapons, spaceships
Battle screen
Small missions to challenge
Collect awarded items and NFTs for completing missions
Collect special items to proceed to phase 2 of the game

Phase 2: LUNA

(First step version)

After completing the tasks in phase 1, the character will be lost in another space (namely the moon). The tasks are similar to phase 1 but different in the scenery, status, items, methods of completion, monsters in the form of meteors, and fuel stations

Player's Tasks:

Build new skills for the character to adapt to the new game environment
Build weapons, spaceships
Battle screen
New special missions
Collect awarded items and NFTs for completing missions
Collect special items to proceed to phase 3 of the game.

Phase 3: SOLAR

(Origin version)

After having skills in phase 2, the character will enter the solar system era, the scene is switched to 8 planets in the solar system. Gamers have to go through missions on each planet. The Sun, The Mercury, The Venus, The Earth (removed), The Mars, The Jupiter, The Saturn, The Uranus, Neptune - and "The Ninth Planet ".

Player's Tasks:

Mission objective is to conquer 9 planets in the Solar System by completing each specific task designed in this phase
Collect awarded items and NFTs of phase 3
Adding the appearance of space monsters
Defining conditions to go to the next phase

Phase 4: STARS

(Discovery)

The game context takes place in a galaxy of stars with millions of dead planets. It is the stars that have never been known to humans and it seems that since it is also unknown, 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.

Player's Tasks:

The player's task in this game scene is:

Build your spaceship capable of entering the galactic space by upgrading existing spacecraft over time or buying in-game materials to craft.
Discover as many stars as possible to further improve your chances of moving on to the next exciting new game scene.
Collect valuable NFT items
There are special quests that make it easy to level up, it's uncommon and can be lucky for gamers.

Phase 5: GALAXY

(Infinity)

In an endless journey like never-ending, players now have to constantly extend their survival time in space to be able to explore more levels and items that can be encountered.

Now the space monsters appear more and more powerful than before. In addition, special events that only appear once in the game are set up, players must reach a certain level to be able to participate in this event.

The special thing is that only NFTs will also appear in the event, which is very desirable for every gamer.

In this game the player must try to maintain the playing time as long as possible it will help to achieve a significant level in their game.

Phase 6: UNIVERSE

(Metaverse)

A perspective in the universe is opened, in this part players can experience virtual reality in the game. This section is specifically designed to support VR devices participating in the game's space exploration. Players must be skillful to cross the screen as well as explore many landscape angles and strange items. Above all in this part, players can design their own space like a miniature universe with friends to join the guild.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

===== Solutions to solve the above specific problem =====

Solutions 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).

Scenario games:

Characters must complete the tasks in each phase to move to the next phases of the game.
Each phase’s task 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 ..).
Create events in the game, but the task that the player has to achieve from time to time every day to receive the reward is NFT or a token or something in the game.
Conclusion: So the economy is built in the game 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.

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

Develop versions of the game IRONSKY running on iOS and Android. Players can download the game from the Apple Store or Google Play.
Release of official versions for PC.
Introduces a complete marketplace for players to participate in buying, selling, and storing the game's NFT items.
Create events to attract players, issue rewards to players who complete missions, or win events.
Release tokens for the game's ecosystem, for advertising, partners, or airdrop for the Cardano community.
Increase the number of ADA participating in the game as well as the number of wallets registered for the game.
Attracting the gaming community in the crypto world to be more interested in the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

RISKS

It is true that we faced a risk from the very beginning of the project when the price of ADA continuously dropped from $2.4, but we did not have time to pay staff salaries as well as lacked funds to hire more people. It was a very difficult time for project developers like proposer us on the Catalyst.

We've slowly progressed through it since Fund7, 8 and the project is on track with our roadmap. Now we have the confidence to develop many projects, and confidence in our team, they already have project management experience through the problems we have encountered.

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.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

We continue to return to Fund 10 to expand the gaming community into the Cardano ecosystem. IRONSKY will continue to apply the new technologies of the Cardano blockchain in the coming eras when Hydra and Side-chain are implemented. That's why we need to gather the catalyst fund to update the community with new technologies that will be applied to the game from blockchain technology.

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

We manage the project with tools like ClickUp, Microsoft Project Management.

Furthermore, we apply SCRUM(*) to the project development process, which is the strong point of the technologists in our team.

We also provide information on the homepage and follow the schedule of the established roadmap. Along with that are the KPIs for each development phase of the project.

The number of game version released on apple store and google play.
The number of game downloads on mobile devices.
The number of people playing games regularly daily, weekly and monthly.
The number of tokens to be issued.
The number of NFTs generated.
The number of members in our gaming community.
The number of ADA wallets registered in the game.
The number of people participating in the Airdrop.
The number of ADA wallets participating in ISPO to get tokens $ISKY.

(*)With the SCRUM process:

Scrum is a basic “framework” for approaching complex work. Based on this framework, the team can apply different processes and techniques to our game making.

I believe that SCRUM helps to eliminate the complicated stages and focus only on the necessary steps to meet the needs of the customer.

The three core elements that we closely follow to form an empirical process management model include transparency, inspection and adaptation.

In addition, we also apply the Japanese HO-REN-SO(*) process for key members at the project management level. Will always ensure the smoothness from the status of work to the city in the team.

(*) HO-REN-SO is an important Japanese working rule that stands for:

HOKOKU: Report
RENRAKU: Contact
SODAN: Discussion

The community can also talk to the game's developer or more information at the links below.

(*) GitHub: https://github.com/adaboys/IRONSKY_NFT_GAME

(*)Note that during game development, important parts of the project cannot be published immediately to ensure the security of the project

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

===== Our Way to a Successful Business Model =====

Create an attractive game with content that attracts gamers to participate, they can use the game NFTs to play games to do in-game tasks or can buy, sell, or invest in NFTs that they find valuable. treat and preserve them.

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.

Tokensnomics:

We plan to issue 1B tokens and distribute them to the following categories

Foundation 5%
Seed 4%
Private 7%
Public 5%
Team 23%
Advisor 2%
Airdrop 1%
ISPO 5%
Marketing 4%
Ecosystem 44%

And will release according to each stage of the game's development. Tokens will be issued according to the project implementation time. From 1 month to the next 62 months. Specifically, see this link of ours: https://bit.ly/3u58vib

We graph the token release process over time to ensure the balance of resources in the game.

Especially create reasonable harmony with the stakeholders involved in the development of the project with their interests.

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

Will attract thousands of players to participate in the game and experience the NFTs built on the Cardano blockchain.
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
In the future will build Sandbox Mataverse allowing gamers to enjoy the role of an astronaut in a virtual galaxy.

Moreover IRONSKY will contribute to enriching the Cardano ecosystem with entertainment value and financial benefits for ADA, NFT, and game token holders.

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

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

This is a previous funded proposal, it related to the work parts of the entire IRONSKY game proposal in F8 before. (https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/399208)

It has been ranked TOP #1 in the voting with ~95% voted YES for IRONSKY GAME and And attracted 1152 ADA wallets to vote on this proposal.

We are encouraged by the great faith the community places in us, and really happy about that. We are very grateful to the Catalyst community, especially those who voted for our proposal to create a diverse ecosystem for Cardano together.

It will really attract investors, ADA holders, the community as well as gamers to experience when the IRON SKY game is released.

========= 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.
