[AGIP 86] Gotchi Battler funding

Author: Immaterial#0001
GotchiID: #16559

Hello frens,

This sigprop is to obtain funding for the development of Gotchi Battler. I've assembled a team of some of the best builders in the community and we're excited to get started and build what is hopefully a prize asset for the DAO and community for years to come. Please read on to get an overview of the game, costs and deliverables and if you want a deeper dive into the game including a trailer please visit the forum post: https://dao.aavegotchi.com/t/gotchi-battler/4772

Thank you for your support, as always!

What is Gotchi battler?

Gotchi Battler is an auto battler game where 2 teams of 5 gotchis battle each other until 1 team is wiped out. Each Gotchis stats and special move will be determined by its traits. To set up a good team you’ll have to strategise what types of Gotchis mix well together and what formation the team should be in. Once you’ve set up the team you can sit back and watch your strategy play out in an epic Gotchi battle to the death!

Why Gotchi Battler?

I created a long post detailing the motivation behind building Gotchi Battler here: https://dao.aavegotchi.com/t/gotchi-battler/4772/21?u=immaterial So please go read that post but the TLDR headlines are:

• Gamify Protocol Rewards
• Increase demand for protocol assets
• Strengthen the game lineup for Gotchichain
• DAO revenue generation through future PvE expansions
