Thesandbox LAND and Eco Community Experiences

Summary

The proposal is for the grant of a total of 270.819 ECO ($4,000) (rate: $0.01477 14th July 2023) buying 2x1 LAND (101557 ECO worth of $1,500) and develop 2nd Eco metaverse experiences in Thesandbox (169262 ECO worth of $2,500). Thesandbox LAND can be used to publish Eco Community Experiences.

Introduction

New Experiences on this proposal are not the same as previous proposal. But, the assets from first experiences can be used and combined here.

We require LAND to publish the game experiences, which are based on the first Eco metaverse experiences “Eco Community Playground”. Publishing game experiences to LAND is an important part of the Eco metaverse project.

The Builders Ecollective will use their Safe treasury to acquire and control the LAND. We will work together to purchase the most accessible LAND on Opensea.

The full publishing features will be released at the end of Q4 2023 : https://sandboxgame.medium.com/the-metaverse-is-starting-to-open-cd0889916557

If granted, we can request early publish approval, and the experiences will be published on Thesandbox map. We decided to apply the early publish experiences in September. The first experiences won’t be published because it's not designed to onboard players and some multiplayer mechanics have a problem from Thesandbox which the team hasn’t yet fixed, that can cause the game to lag or crash. However, the first experiences will be maintained and improved, so we can publish it later.

The 2nd Eco metaverse experiences [Multiplayer] will focus on :

• Introducing people to Eco.org.
• Onboarding people to join our Eco community.
• Educate and collaborate with Ecosystem at Eco.org.

Success Metrics

The success of this proposal based on users involved metrics :

• Users participation
• New people joined the Eco community.
• User involved in game development.

Currently, Thesandbox is still in alpha version with contains many bugs/issues so the experiences only can be accessed on Game Maker Client with PC or Laptop (it's hard to access by unfamiliar people). But, We believe after the publish feature release, the game will be easy to access and bugs/issues will be fixed. So, the success metrics can be measured after experiences have been published on Thesandbox LAND.
