We didn't report the last month because of everything is pending for seeking the right people to suite the requirement:

• Main artist with the style that fit our requirements. For this task we have to:

• Finding people around the world
• Testing of their sketch to know which one is the best for the project
• Interviewing them then tell them about the current and future stage of the project
• Dealing with them

• Author Support to help refine the story

• Finding
• Testing Currently, we're developing new character appearance that follows our standard. The main artist already release the first finished character and on sketching the second one.

Moreover, with help of marketing team we made a common comic reader community and it is around 500 members now.

And in this month, we will release some information about the character and environment publicity on some fandom website and our official NAVA comic website. This will help people know better our our characters, assets, environments, events…

And for supporting this project going better with the new artist we have some plan for next month (out of the scope of this proposal), including:

• Limited Comic Chapter CNFT
• Comic card CNFT for gifting first guys who buy our comic Chapter CNFT
• Developing comic reading platform that help connect comic reader and comic publisher. This platform will be a part inside Miverse Platform.

1. The publication: 3 first chapters were published on comic platforms. You can check it on the webtoons here: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/nava/list?title_no=813483
2. Re-make the comic: we have to re-make the comic because

• The story also not solid, separating, not focus
• The art style is not trendy, and we only have one artist that can draw that style. Hard to find another to support him. That will risk the future performance.
• The number of panel per page currently is too many, that also the reason why the quality is not really good as we want at the start. So, we have to:
• Writing the story again with new author team that will be led by our game designer - mr Bach, who is passionate to comic and also experienced in working with both game design and comic production team.
• Recruiting and cooperating with new artist with art style that is common. Like one of these: Manhwa: Solo Leveling, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Overgeared - Manga: One Punch Man, Fairy Tail…

3. Next auditable information:

• We planned to published the first chapter with new story & style on Dec 1st, 2022
• Weekly publication
• Remake all 12 chapters for this proposal
• The whole 12 chapters comic products will be finished on about the end of Dec, 2022
• Detail information about the character, environment and assets will be published on Nov 9, 2022. Please check our official site on our twitter account: https://twitter.com/ComicNava

Some related tasks that are out of the scope of this proposal that were delayed because HR shortage including: art development - lacking artist and game designer, map design - game designer… So we cannot perfecting the task in the scope of this proposal with cool assets and map. And only done the prototype with temporary assets as you can see in the uploaded video. Everyone can clarify the difference between the art style of assets in our auditable resources. (It's on other proposals in fund 8 - and re-proposing in the fund 9) -> So, technical development task of this proposal is done as its scope: release the playable prototype.

Backend:

• Setup server environment.
• Write some common API (Register, Login, Generate Nonce…)
• Create and handle base game asset (Base asset, Asset ERT, Common increase & decrease assets, asset logs…)
• Setup & Config server realtime server for game.
• Create socket layer base for game.
• Handle socket matching Game.
• Create & handle app-setting for server game (Lobby room, create room base)
• Socket matching (API find battle, handle matching player realtime)
• Handle base socket data in game (Pvp Mode)
• Balancing game by dynamic config online ========= Client:
• Create base UnitObject (For unit battle ship, unit turret, unit main base, unit creep…)
• Create Battle ship (Implement Propotype Model; Implement Script for Moving, Attacking…)
• Create Skill (Skill Base; Specifically Skill - Laser, Healing, Ultimate…, Skill Indicator, Implement VFX)
• PvP - 2vs2 (Implement Socket base, Sync action, sync damage…)
• Pvp - 3vs3 (Control more logic player)
• Add Propotype UI for game (Flow Login, dashboard, select character, room, gameplay…)
• Upgrade Player (Logic base stat, Logic base item, Logic upgrade, UI…)
• Add 3vs3 (or 2vs2) Map.
• Add Turret
• Add Main Side Base, Create Logic Win-lose
• Add Creep ==========

One more related thing to this proposal is the document, we will finish it in October.

Comparing to the last month, these are our outputs:

• Finish drawing art concept of all 3 main characters & some secondary characters of the comic
• Finish drawing the comic for the 1st chapter
• Finish the story of first 5 chapters
• Finish the script for comic drawing for 2nd chapter

Something is on fixing/ updating more info:

• Character profile: updating
• Environment: updating and adding more
• We're still seeking the main artist for the long-term production: the current art style of the current artist is not fix for what we want - that is based on our market research. But it will not be pend and will be kept publishing on time as below schedule. The new concept will be processed when we have new artist.
• The production workflow will be changed: > From: Comic story production -> script -> story board -> drawing > To: Light novel -> script -> story board -> drawing The reason why we changed this is the plot will not be systematic and integrity when made by a team of conflict after they listen and follow my concept explanation - it's so hard and waste of time. So, I will write the light novel then they will base it on it to write for the comic.
• We will change the structure of the next 10 chapters

Not as we planned as the last month:

• Publish the first chapter in middle of September -> we change to October 7th for the first chapter then weekly publishing the comic later. This time is for sure because we already have the comic

So, for close this proposal - instead of this time, we think that it will cost 2 more months.

• We will finish 2 more chapters (2nd and 3rd) of comic on next week (deadline: Oct 1st)
• Then keep finishing once chapter per week: done at December 4th
• Then the last chapter of the comic will be published on December 11st

We did these tasks in the last month. Compare to the last month, it's slower but still faster than what we estimated a bit. Some of the task of this proposal depends on art proposal, but we are trying to fastening the process of art production to adapt it. So, everything is still good with our work.

We're currently under way executing on deliverables. But still working well for it. Please check the detail below.

Comparing to the last month, we have some output:

• Finish the 2nd chapter of the comic, and on finishing the 3rd and 4th chapter on the beginning of the September. It will be faster in the next month.
• The summary of the next 10 chapters
• Detail profile of 5 main characters in the first season for artist draw it. And artists will finish them in the first week of September (including fixing).
• Finish the foundation of the comic including: history, environment, structure…

Things we were/ are not done on time.

• Publish the comic in August. Hopefully, it will be possibly publish in the middle of the September.
• To this time, we have to publish 3 chapters instead of nothing.

The reason:

• Forming author team and help them understand the direction of the comic and the general concept took us more than a month. Luckily, they're doing good now!
• Next step of the team up is how artist can understand what author want to do including: character visualization, comic drawing… not just that, we have to sync with the gaming art concept. So, it took a lot of time for fixing the visual of the characters, maps…
• The ultimate reason is that instead of writing the comic by myself then let the team drawing, I'm now lead 2 author teams to creating the comic for sustainable long-term publication. So, it's make all the mess in the last month.

Our moves:

• Finishing the visual document & ref of the all 5 character in the end of this week - on Aug 26th. We're currently have them but must refine for helping the artist drawing better. The hard deadline is this 26th.
• Release the first chapter on the 2nd or 3rd week of September (means that late from the roadmap about a month).
• Then release the next chapters weekly.
• For the story, we will pre-produce to reach 6 more chapters after this month. Means 8 chapters in total to the next report.
• And we will try to pre-produce the comic sooner than the publication schedule a week for risk management.

So, we still can run the proposal to finish the first 4 chapter to the end of the September with the remaining money we received. But it is better if Catalyst can release the half of the current fund for this report, to help us fastening the process in the end of the September - we can do it because the foundation now is almost done and the team will be better sync on the next month.

I attached the first 10 pages of the chapter 1 that we finished. For sustainable development long term, our first work seem slower than planned a lot because:

• Author team is hard to form to understand and develop the plot align to the purpose of the author. We worked together 3 weeks (since July 5th) and still forming.
• Artist team is also slow because of our paper work. We have to wait to the September for finishing registering our official company in Switzerland. Before that, we must make a temporary company in our country for contract signing with them for work. This will finished on the end of July. Moreover, their team and workflow is also slow that delay us a lot. For that reason, we will develop our own artist team on August, it's a big risk and can waste some money and also slower but can prevent uncertain situation like above.

About the committed delivery in our proposal, we will move it to the end of the October - instead of the end of September. All KPI and delivery still keep the same but slower 1 month.

In the scope of this proposal, compare to our previous report - the big different you can recognize between this time is that it's multiplay. But more than that, we're also improving the quality of the effects, and fixing some thing to playable.

In addition, beside this proposal. We're also developing the not-funded proposal to support this - the art development proposal. That's proved by our attached art characters.

For updating our progress please follow these environments:

1. We will update the progress of our whole project here in this link, we're customize it for easily clarify which parts & tasks is of which proposal: https://sharing.clickup.com/7505985/wb/75221-4427/miverse-phase-1
2. Moreover, we also published the feedback & development site for showing our key task publicity to everyone: https://development.miverse.io/
3. Last but not least, please join our community for better updating and auditing our delivery. Some of this place is still forming and updating, it will real-time updating on the mid of August.

If anyone in Catalyst Circle or Coordinator, please contact me directly - I will show the private workplace for auditing.

This month for this proposal is just team up only, but we still try to develop the art concept for fastening the progress in next month. We're also develop and overall story and the first season structure - but it cannot be public shared to everyone. If any of you guys want to check our progress, we can show it to you. By the way, next month we will release the first images of this comic. So, it's easier to track our work. The images, above is character art style that was developed for both game & comic.

We're updating our detail progress in this site: https://development.miverse.io/ If anyone want to check the detail of our works, we can stream the screen for the technical works. About the document we will update in this site: https://docs.miverse.io/

We're just officially start the project a week ago. We really need some advisor on Cardano technology in the next month. Hope that anyone can help :D

I have enough resource for this proposal and running well.

For the scope of this proposal, we have enough and advance to finish it as the roadmap.
