Should the following $40,000 grant in the In-World Content category be approved?
Abstract
Most grants are forward-looking future promises of deliveries when the authors have a history of mediocracy. This grant is to purchase the software license fees for works already done in SDK7. You may have noticed organic usership is down 90% of users are the ‘alter ego’ accounts of those existing stake holders desperately trying to pump their rankings up. This is because Decentraland has lost major attractions such as Monster Hall, Sophia’s Robot Apocalypse, OG Contra Band’s Blunt Farmer and the Dealer Zone. I can’t speak for Monster Hall, but I was instructed by my boss whom you may know as WokeLadyBoss to delete our farming game because the permanent license wasn’t paid. DCL is starting to be seen as an org that doesn’t value devs.

Description
Last week our team delivered the first functioning multi player FPS game - snowball fight at 104,51. Next we have issued the smart wearable “Laser Tag Everywhere” that transforms all parcels in Decentraland (except those that block smart wearables) into a FPS game of laser tag. All those who have the wearable equipped can blast other players with the laser gun and see sparkling beams fly through the air and explode when hitting the player. Any objects with collider block the shot. Each player has 10 hit points and a status bar to show their health status. A RIP list shows any participants who were unalived. You can get a feel for the gameplay at 104,51 the wearable is essentially an improved, go-anywhere version of snowball fight or buy the laser tag wearable everywhere and come to fight us.
If you have done your homework you’ll know Decentraland faced criticism from extremely influential game players and EARNED the title ‘dead mall’. If many new players are air-dropped these laser tag guns they won’t be saying that. Many in Decentraland do not consider DCL to be a game, the problem is the whole rest of the world sees it as a game and they always will. We need to make sure people are having fun even when a live stream event is not occurring with durable goods. For those who don’t know these high action FPS style games bring a bigger crowd and have a larger market value than all other types of games. With monster hall game DCL is on life support right now and the organic value of the land is almost zero. If you don’t recognize this then you’re simply uninformed. No amount of fake accounts can solve this problem, exciting games are the only solution and right now OG Contra Band is the only show in town.
This grant isn’t a promise of future work. It’s to pay the fee and redeploy works already done. If passed this is the action we will take:
Air drop hundreds of Laser Tag Guns especially to new players
Bring back the farming game, Dealer Zone and FPS portions
Expand core game with several FPS outposts sprinkle on map as budget affords
Continue on dynamic loading of FPS game that increases the game-play time.
Laser Tag 2.0 - gun will play explosion on more objects in scenes. Visual indicator on player when user is equipped.
6 months of development whatever come - the laser gun can of course be expanded to do teams if that’s desired (need to know team selection requirements)
I highly recommend large stake holders to bypass the DAO and air drop MANA and land. DCL is in the greatest possible danger due to extremely bad and uninformed decision making. You can see they’re admitting to not even visiting those software projects when voting no. Developers everywhere are seeing this is an ecosystem that doesn’t value their industry - expectation of zero per hour pay, no players, no ad potential. Game players are coming in and seeing a world of Blender objects that are only ads to NFTs, and games that are broke immediately when loading. Aside from deleted games those games funded most of them are broke we showed documented proof Wilderness is broke immediately upon loaded, KOA was broke on the 1st mission, now broke on 2nd after bug fix. Exodus needs SDK7 upgrade money when we’ve already done the work and are running all on SDK7. Not only do they work, they are the kind of games that have the highest market value and can bring the most players. This grant is simply to redeploy FPS games that already work.
