[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Currently there are integrations of Cardano wallets (through Paima) into multiple systems engines like

• Unity
• Phaser
• Game Maker
• Javascript
• LLM AI models

Some of these integrations can be found here: <https://github.com/PaimaStudios/paima-game-templates>

However, we plan to add integrations to the following systems as well:

1. Unreal Engine
2. GPS connections
3. iOS and Android
4. AR device if possible (like Vision Pro)

Since new engines occasionally appear, we will monitor the space to other opportunities as well and reserve the right to change our mind about which engine/platform we prioritize spending funds on to maximize impact

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

This will benefit the Cardano ecosystem by allowing developers to more easily build their business using the technology they love and still deploy their application in the Cardano ecosystem

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

1. Number of apps / games integrating using the various integrations

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We will share reference implementations of all the different integrations we do

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

dcSpark and Paima Studios are well renowned companies in the Cardano ecosystem that have a long history of delivering on Catalyst proposals. You can find progress on grants we have previously received at https://dcspark.io/grants

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goal is to enable businesses to build the business they want to build inside the Cardano ecosystem, instead of having to go to another platform simply because of a missing SDK

We know this project is technically feasible as both Paima Studios has already integrated Paima into Unity, Game Maker and other systems as mentioned previously

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

Each system we successfully integrate with is a milestone. The goal is to integrate as many of them as possible with the budget we are allocated

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Code and reference implementations

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Each integration will most likely cost 40k~60k, so we aim for around 4 integrations

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

• dcSpark (development support)

• Paima Studios (advising on the use-case)

  [RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

This will increase adoption of gaming in the Cardano ecosystem by enabling devs to build in the ecosystem while using tools they are already familiar with instead of having to go to deploy elsewhere
