The game is a copy of Heartstone arena run. It plans to cannibalize on the same player base for SL which is struggling to keep the game afloat. And it is asking money from the DAO. Sorry can’t support.
We are witnessing how hard it is move our own 500K RB packs. In this environment I can not support another game that drains the same community.
Also the term of the offer is terrible only 15% where our own CEO Matt offered 50% of the revenue.
Regardless; will not be supporting this proposal.
As Jedielf perfectly summarized
A good % of the playerbase are devs. Setting a precedent for the DAO to be a guaranteed Angel investor on un-commercial terms if games involve SPL assets is a recipe for disaster. Every one of these games has to have a separate token in order to generate income, which will drain money from SPL as they target the same playerbase.
I have no issue with that in principle, but not now and not funded by the DAO. Angel investors typically demand much higher % for chunks of cash and tend to micromanage too. The DAO would be a soft touch in comparison
Actually it has nothing to do with Hearthstone's Arena mode. It's the Battlegrounds mode it has drawn inspiration from. However, while HS Battlegrounds requires 8 players to compete for the top 4 spots of the battle, this here is a simple 1v1 which does make things different as you have to closely counter what your opponent does, so this gives things a different spin.
We really like the Auto Chess genre. HS Battlegrounds is a version of Auto Chess, which took inspiration from Dota Auto Chess, but it's using cards instead of 3D models. There are many different games based off Auto Chess though.
Also, we're planning to support more player modes (i.e. 4 or 8 players ffa) and as we develop the game, it will become even more unique, even through the integration of Web3 alone.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. ;-)
Very well said. The DAO is in a spot right now where I think many are looking at ways to cannibalism its assets. We must protect its value or we risk a lot of negative publicity. That isn't to say all projects reaching out for DAO support should be blocked but we should be hyper vigilant.
