On Track
Introduction
Hey there everyone,
I’m kourtin, Head of Operations at Polygonal Mind and responsable of this development happening in the studio.
First of all thanks a lot to all the DAO members who participated in the voting and made this project possible, we are thrilled to have the 100 Avatars project in Decentraland and do it in a way that not only enriches the platform but gives the chance to everyone a chance to get them all by engaging with the platform.
Highlights
Before I dive in, thanks everyone for your patience, a 1 month development has put all studio hands to work tirelessly and this update didnt’ meet the correct publishing date - yet the project advanced with no issue. Now let’s dive with the update:
The Plan
Let’s begin with what we drafted as achievable for the 1st of January.
Preparation of existing environment GLB - adapting 3D files, making layout on the land, adjusting lighting and textures
Preparation and submission for review of the 100 avatar skins - ensuring current vrm files are within limits of Decentraland requirements, metadata and submission (it’s 100 avatars, it takes time)
Avatar unlocking functionality development, mini game implementation - developers finalizing functionalities, implementing UIs, re-skinning mini games
QA and launch - final iteration, wearable placement, marketing materials and social media comms launch
Results
The project is in the last track of QA, we did a miscalculation on budget splitting that made us unable to submit the 100 skin wearables until we got the payment itself. Yet the rest of the development (environment, gamification, systems…) continued with no issue.
We have prepared the launch party event that you can add your calendar here.
As this project will mean that anyone will be able to grab 100 avatars during their play times we will be periodically supporting the land with update events to circle back people to the experience.
Blockers
Found a minor timing issue on submitting the wearables as the funds were locked before the 1st of January. This was addressed with the DAO representative and we agreed on a slight extension to also not overlap the New Year’s Eve, discussion can be found here.
Next steps
We are in QA last steps and doing Catalyst testing for our big launch on January 9th.
Additional notes and links
We welcome anyone to join us the 9th or afterwards and also we hope this project attracts attention from old and new users of the platform.
