Business Model- Road to success

We like to call our business model a hybrid one. Since we started to develop the world of ADA, we also already invested time and money BUT we also started to create a community around our project, which we like to expanse to an international one.

The initial NFT sale will hopefully allow us to get some financial support from the community, which would flow completely into the development.

The future business model will be a hybrid of in-game sales (only cosmetics, NO pay2win) and community-based funding for upcoming add-ons and maybe some further rewards from running our stake pool successfully.

Besides the initial NFTs sale, what really will help us to get through the phases is the additional "juice" to set up the business and run smoothly until the release. The first draft of the game is created by us, our coder, artist, and game designer are working already on Phase I of the project. So the requested funds for a full-blown out mobile game are just fair as far as we can see from our experience. Similar independent projects with the game mechanics we are looking for need around 500K$-1M$ budget minimum. So since we collect already 100K from Catalyst FUND5, we need additional budget to implement PHASE 2 & 3.

Short-Term success after 3-6 months

Awareness of Cardano/ADA getting increased due to our professional game business network
Awareness of Cardano/ADA increased because of our game setting
Our own in-game NFT marketplace monetize (ongoing)
Founding of game studio (done)

Mid-Term success after 6-12 months

Our resources get paid in Ada and we talk about it (further ADA&project awareness/reach increasement)
Alpha version of our game modes (ongoing)
Hiring more resources (ongoing)

Long-Term success after 12-24 months

Full game ready to be released
Project is self-sustaining
Paying back the catalyst funding (further info below)

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFO: If the game will be a commercial success we would promise to give the requested funds back and support with this initiative as another catalyst project in the future (preferably Africa or charity-related).

We would love to see you support the creation of the world ADA and maybe YOU like to cooperate with us.

This or the other way, let's talk!
