Description

Background

I joined Decentraland in late 2021, initially without any specialized development skills. Like many community members, I was attracted by the limitless possibilities of the Metaverse. Through learning the rich resources provided by the community, I gradually acquired a range of skills from 3D modeling to programming. I began to work on Monster Hall in my free time. During the SDK 6, I created a four-land scene and a four-land shooting game, which have not been released yet. Due to various reasons, I had to make many compromises in the game development process. However, the release of SDK 7 and Worlds solved many challenges I was facing before and prompted me to fully transition to a new game project. During the development of the new project, I invited several members to join. We determined to achieve our goals and are pround to grow alongside Decentraland.

I released the previous scene designs and game videos, as well as a demo for the new game. Although these works are still developing, they offer a preliminary showcase of Monster Hall’s artistic design and gameplay mechanics.

Short-Term Plan

Within the framework of this proposal, our objective is to complete the alpha version of Monster Hall's game in the next ten months.

• 3 Randomly generated maze maps with unique styles
• 1 Battlefield designed specifically for a boss fight
• 1 Mysterious hidden map
• 40+ Multifunctional game items
• 5 Different types of enemies
• 1 Boss enemy
• 15+ Unique player skills
• 4 Weapons
• 15+ Environment buffs
• 10+ Player buffs

We will also introduce leaderboards to incentivize player engagement. In addition to game content, we plan to enhance Monster Hall's main scene through improving visual art, character designs, and feature optimizations. During Decentraland's MVFW in March 2024, we intend to construct an interactive stage within Monster Hall's main scene. This will provide high-quality content for community events and increase user traffic and visibility for Monster Hall. This will mark our first endeavor to integrate the Monster Hall IP with community events.

What Monster Hall Aims to Bring to Decentraland

We are dedicated to delivering games with exceptional artistic design and events to Decentraland. Monster Hall is more than just a game, it will also serve as an open IP within the Decentraland ecosystem. We aim to extend Monster Hall's influence to a broader audience, attracting more users to Decentraland and encouraging them to stay in this imaginative virtual world for the long term. Through ongoing community engagement, strategic partnerships, and high-quality content, we aim to make Monster Hall an important symbol in the Decentraland community.
