Description
We updated and optimized our grant according to community feedback and comments.
Concept:
Diverge is asking for your vote to support our grant and help fund its idea to solve the styling problem and create the AI Style Expert (fashion game)
Business goal: To increase space retention with interactive gaming experiences and help new users to create a cool digital identity.
Idea:
- to create an AI Stylist slot machine, to get a styling advice and win wearables
- to increase awareness for the designers and creators
AI STYLIST
The idea of the game comes from the decision to solve the following problem: it’s very confusing and hard to style your avatar due to the huge number of different wearables on the marketplace in DCL. Styling the look may be confusing in IRL, and definitely not easier in Metaverse where there are no limits in choosing your way of self-expression. You can be whatever you want to be, whatever you feel to be in every moment and you can change your character or outfit in seconds. We want to help the community to style their looks in the best way and share our fashion experience.
The AI Stylist Expert will be open for every DCL member and available at Diverge’s MetaFashion Space (Crystal City location(-1;51)). Everyone can stop by and receive their wearable prizes and fashion advice!
The AI Style Expert will work this way:
You choose your gender:
Male
Female
Gender neutral
First time you can play for free and have 3 attempts to play. Each attempt you get advice and you have a chance to win a wearable. After the first free attempt you pay 1 MANA to play more and have more chances. Every attempt you get a different style (total look) which you can purchase right away. For this we’ll create different wearables ourselves and collaborate with other DCL designers and brands. Also there will be a chance to win a wearable. Everyone who starts their game with AI Stylist will get an entry role. For example, it can be the “Fashion Addicted” role. There will be a leaderboard with the levels on how fashionable you are.
Fashion Addicted is an Entry Role. Fashion Icon is the highest one.
For the entry role you have just to play at least once for free.
For the Fashion Icon you need to play for example 100 times and have in your Closet minimum 10 total looks from Ai Fashion Expert (can be changed if needed).
