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.
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.
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.
