Detailed Plan

Disclaimer - ALL Artworks are just mood concepts and can differ little in detail from the final version -

• Combine blockchain technology with NFTs in a fun competitive fantasy game environment
• Modular development strategy with three Phases
• Pre-Sale, NFT Marketplace, Native App for Android and iOS
• QUEST is already a Stake pool!

<u>Team</u>

Coding: Dirk worked for Ubisoft, founded two gaming studios as a Dev Lead, and is currently working as a Technical Architect. He is the go-to guy, well in everything tech-related. Besides running and tracking our stake pool he is doing his magic to create the foundation for our project. 20 years of experience! IF var string = "you are looking for a coder?" THEN result="Dirk";

Art: Chris is our Illustrator & UX-Designer with more than 15 years of professional work in drawing stuff, gamification, interface- and app design in the industry. Starting as a big fan of the classic Point & Click adventures (Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky, Day of the Tentacle) on DOS and hoarding tons of comic books he turned his geek hobby into an ever-expanding full-time job.

Game Design, Marketing & Sales: Marcin worked in marketing, sales, and project management for THQ, Ubisoft, CI Games, Daedalic Entertainment, and Rockstar. In the past 10 years, he has helped some start-ups in their initial phase. Michael is the second guy and is mainly responsible for game design and balancing. He holds a degree in business administration and had a lot of experience as a QA Tester in the EA environment. Both OG´s love to crunch numbers, always try to find out which RPG class is the best of all times. The struggle is still going on…

Operations & Story: Thomas is the oldest and financial expert within the team. His knowledge about movies, games, and fantasy worlds is immense. He currently tries to tie the stitches to bring the world of ADA to life.

Overall we offer more than 100 years(!cumulated!) of professional gaming and business experience. We all are old-school gamers(started in the mid '80s), played a lot of pen&paper RPGs, love tabletop games, and of course strategy. This project will be something like our legacy. Ada Quest will not only be for the masses, we are developing this title because we like to play our own games. Maybe one day you will meet us on the battlefield or in a dungeon, cave, tavern you name it ;)!

Story

Welcome to the legendary world of ADA.

It is epoch 259! Long before this time, there was a huge war in ADA, which completely cast a spell over the land. It was about the most powerful gemstone, the Goguen Stone! Whoever possessed this stone would be the absolute ruler of this world. Nevertheless, in the greatest battle, the Goguen Stone shattered into four pieces.

After this bloody encounter, a mage, a barbarian, a dwarf, and an elf were each able to take possession of one of these shards. In order not to devastate the land any further, the four heroes agreed to a truce and founded the first four realms.

Now you have arrived on ADA and it is up to YOU to choose your hero and your destiny. Prove your skills and courage in duels and quests to finally conquer this world! But watch out, ´cause nothing is as it seems. An unrecognized greater threat lurks in the darkness, which wants to use this legendary world for its intrigues.

Start your QUEST for ADA now…

<u>! YEAH WE ARE successfully funded in FUND5 !</u>

So what is finished and what we are looking for:

<u>Business Model- Road to success</u>

We like to call our business model a hybrid one. Since we started to develop the world of ADA, we also already invested time and money BUT we also started to create a community around our project, which we like to expanse to an international one.

The initial NFT sale will hopefully allow us to get some financial support from the community, which would flow completely into the development.

The future business model will be a hybrid of in-game sales (only cosmetics, NO pay2win) and community-based funding for upcoming add-ons and maybe some further rewards from running our stake pool successfully.

Besides the initial NFTs sale, what really will help us to get through the phases is the additional "juice" to set up the business and run smoothly until the release. The first draft of the game is created by us, our coder, artist, and game designer are working already on Phase I of the project. So the requested funds for a full-blown out mobile game are just fair as far as we can see from our experience. Similar independent projects with the game mechanics we are looking for need around 500K$-1M$ budget minimum. So since we collect already 100K from Catalyst FUND5, we need additional budget to implement PHASE 2 & 3.

<u>Short-Term success after 3-6 months</u>

• Awareness of Cardano/ADA getting increased due to our professional game business network
• Awareness of Cardano/ADA increased because of our game setting
• Our own in-game NFT marketplace monetize (ongoing)
• Founding of game studio (done)

<u>Mid-Term success after 6-12 months</u>

• Our resources get paid in Ada and we talk about it (further ADA&project awareness/reach increasement)
• Alpha version of our game modes (ongoing)
• Hiring more resources (ongoing)

<u>Long-Term success after 12-24 months</u>

• Full game ready to be released
• Project is self-sustaining
• Paying back the catalyst funding (further info below)

<u>ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFO:</u> If the game will be a commercial success we would promise to give the requested funds back and support with this initiative as another catalyst project in the future (preferably Africa or charity-related).

We would love to see you support the creation of the world ADA and maybe YOU like to cooperate with us.

<u>This or the other way, let's talk!</u>
