Should the following $3,120 grant in the In-World Content category be approved?

Abstract

Knights of Antrom is a medieval fantasy RPG located at 144, -7 in DCL. Players complete quests, farm materials to craft goods and wearables, and defeat dungeon enemies to earn NFT wearables and weapons. In order to allow a large number of players to have the smoothest experience possible at KoA, we use Amazon Web Services to house our data.

Description

Having 1 year of AWS server costs covered will allow our team to focus revenue generated from the game on things like hosting events, creating wearables, and continuing to develop new features for our players. As Knights of Antrom continues to grow, we want to ensure we have the server capabilities covered to support new players and event attendees.

Roadmap and milestones

This one-time grant will cover maintaining our database server costs for 1 year.

would the money be used to pay for an AWS reserved instance, or would the cost be paid out month to month?

What kind of server do you need? Do you have an AWS cost calculation to share?

Hi HP,

I attached an image of a daily cost breakdown under the budget category. We’ve been paying approximately $260/month up until this point so that’s where our calculations came from. As far as the type of server, I’ll let @DCLDating speak to that as he’s more knowledgable about the needs and details there.

Hey HP, thanks for asking! Here’s a cost breakdown for the AWS services over the past 11 months.

Currently the plan is month-to-month but we will look into the advantages of using AWS RI’s. Thanks for the suggestion!

Asking DAO to help run servers for an already successful proof of concept? And its not overinflated 20x?

Based devs, I like this project even more now.

Such an easy yes. Just went through the tutorial of KoA again and was blown away but all the updates, easier UX, etc.

I didn’t even know much of what KoA does was possible before seeing it implemented. An incredible project to have on the platform.
