PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION:
Summon Of Glory is developed by Playcraft Studio, and is already supported by @Animocabrands, @Shimacapital, @bigbrainvc, @mechanismcap.
We aim to integrate outstanding Yuga NFTs into Summon of Glory’s gameplay, with the three main goals of (1) creating fun gaming experiences, (2) increase ApeCoin’s brand awareness, and (3) to generate revenue share for ApeCoin DAO and the selected ape NFT holders.
The classic gameplay and strong social interaction within SOG leaves a lot of room for scalability plus interoperability for players across different communities.
BENEFITS TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:
Enhance Apecoin’s brand influence and exposure via:
- including Apecoin’s art and information in SOG’s startup screen plus banner
- accepting $Ape as a payment option for trading SOG’s in-game assets
- putting the “ape” logo of Apecoin at the central position of SOG’s logo
- dedicating a section of SOG’s website for promoting and educating viewers on Apecoin’s ecosystem
- provide Apecoin community creations as rewards, such as booklets, collectibles, badges, autographs from Yuga holders
Generate revenue for Apecoin:
- SOG team will use the proposed funding to create game content for SOG Heroes based on 8 NFTs (such as BAYC/Movaverse, chosen via voting by Apecoin DAO members), covering all content such as character design, 3D modelling, skins and skill effect. 30% of the revenue generated in game from the Heroes created based on those 8 chosen NFTs will be permanently shared with ApeCoin DAO, while 15% will be shared with the corresponding NFT holder.
- When SOG’s token is listed on exchanges, it will prioritise airdrops to ApeCoin DAO community users
Boost Apecoin’s community participation:
- SOG will hold exclusive activities for members of the ApeCoin Community
- Initiate an Ape Voting event to give every Yuga asset holder a chance to appear in the game
- Part of the $Ape from the funding proposal will be rewarded to Apecoin community members who take part in the NFT selection votes
- Sponsor Apecoin DAO events
