The GFA Studio journey to create the first Aavegotchi experience in the Sandbox was delivered early November 2023. https://x.com/aavegotchi/status/1721528506826498384?s=20

We created a Google Form we submitted to the community during a hangout. We received limited but valuable information about the experience. It’s important to note it reflects the vision of Aavegotchi Native community member: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOKbJm8oLUzo-SgiYIY2rhwMOgb56AH9wiwL9AbYm0lG3SjA/viewform?usp=sf_link

About TheSandbox Team and community, we got tremendous returns. TheSandbox was shocked by the richness of Aavegotchi ecosystem and Lore applied in their voxeled environnement.

This project scope of work Supported by the DAO was established as follow :

1) Creation of a Sandbox Single player experience providing :

• Educational content about Aavegotchi
• Aavegotchi Lore exploration
• Cross universe Aavegotchi Artistic creation

2) Second: One Multiplayer experience

• Bêta test of TheSandbox 0.9 Gamemaker Version Multiplayer features
• To be delivered early 2024

3) Organization of incentives around the project

4) Aavegotchi x The Sandbox AMA

GFA decided to go further by achieving unscheduled/ out of scope milestones:

• Forge an official partnership between Aavegotchi and TheSandbox
• Bridge of gotchis as Official TheSandbox Aavegotchi Aavatar Collection
• Negotiations to gain access to top tier (VIP) partner communication by TheSandbox on social media concerning the release
• Creation of 3 full OG equipment sets (Sandbox Marketplace)
• IRL event Hosted in TheSandbox Office in Paris
• The Enigma Odyssey (300+ contestants)
• RIPPLES OF THE GOTCHIVERSE Graphic Novel (To be delivered soon)

Entrusted by the Licence IP signed with Aavegotchi, GFA community made the choice to lean over the revenue share repartition even if the initial proposal only mentioned 10% Royalty to Pixelcraft Studio.

Different types of revenues are generated through this project : Direct and indirect returns.

About Direct financial returns, here is the repartition GFA decided to apply :

So far, around 13500 SAND tokens sales has been generated. DAO Share was delivered in December (7 425 SAND). Multiplayer Experience is empowered to generate more of those.

About Indirect revenues, please find below the stats of the single experience release engagement : 1) TheSandbox

• Social engagement
• Good overall engagement on sandbox announcement tweets
• Good visibility of Aavegotchi community to TheSandbox userbase
• Good average in-game numbers (KYC Accounts)

2) Aavegotchi

• Some of the best Aavegotchi tweets of 2023 (around 90k + views)
• Forge an alliance with top Web3 brend (TheSandbox)

With the great impact this initiative had, it’s now official, as discussed during the last Hangout and AMA, Aavegotchi made the choice to get some lands (1 Estate 3x3) in TheSandbox. It Gives the possibility to Selfpublish Aavegotchi experiences beeing playable without interruption.

Here is the location of Aavegotchi 3x3 Estate owned by Pixelcraft : https://www.sandbox.game/en/map/?lat=82&lng=-158&zoom=4&x=-158&y=82
