Thanks a lot! That means a ton to us!
do not agree on this take with AMA’s. This information should be publicly available. What you guys (and a lot of other projects) are actively doing right now is creating information asymmetry by keeping information separated and difficult to find.
Again, I know its easy to shit on projects as an armchair investor, a lot of the responses I’ve read on this forum from the project managers showcase that they have little experience in managing projects and severely lack any busines/startup experience. baffles me that so many other people are just fine with it

As a fellow business owner and person that has experienced the stress and difficulties of starting up companies, I do agree that Harmony has not used typical metrics in evaluating grant applicants. However, Regarding this project specifically, they have not yet been approved for grant, so this discussion can make positive change in their metrics and the grant committee’s decision making.
Also, this project is unique and does aim to bring a new type of blockchain gaming experience to H1. This is a pixelated MMO/ PvP Arena project that focuses on fun before gamefi/ p2e, and they do make that very clear in their WP. The good thing about this is that it is experimental and it compliments the current grant funding method, that being incrementally and over time. If the metrics are solid and the game launch yields positive, impactful results for the project, the community, and H1, I believe that we can afford a launch grant here.

The team appreciates the feedback!! Glad you see the vision too! 
Thank you for the feedback! I’ll be updating whitepaper tomorrow and adding some new docs as well!
Thanks for the question, and sorry for the delayed response we just wanted to get all your questions answered properly.
Assuming that you were referring to our Funding Proposal Milestones where you mention “metrics”, these are the milestones stated by the Harmony team when they grant approvals as seen here and here we decided to add it directly into our proposal for clarity.
Fund management and capital preservation is a key factor in any business, we are not backed by VCs or private funding and so we do not function like a “traditional” start-up which consumes their capital then looks for further funding to drive their valuation. We plan multiple scenarios for preserving funding as well as contingency planning in case of extended bear markets. That said the knowledge and expertise of institutions and individuals will help build a strong backbone so we are looking to build relationships on that front.
Our roadmap outlines the goal of our PvP launch with full P2E capability along with our plans for proposition wagering on PvP matches. These functions will start to capture our primary markets of competitive MMORPG players, which is a niche in itself, and the growing eSports betting scene.
With regards to our hiring and HR efforts, the global reach of a borderless and easily accessible job market makes hiring talented and passionate contributors easier. We are able to support those in rapidly growing countries this way and do not need to rely on human outsourcing methods which are detrimental long term, see the animation industry where large companies (ehem Disney) outsource to developing countries which have highly skilled labor but low wages.
We actively take feedback and act on it although sometimes it takes a while to assess and implement behind the scenes. We do acknowledge that there is no formal process for sending feedback and we are discussing possible systems to handle it. We thank you for pointing it out and if you have any experience with systems please let us know!
DAO certainly has both negative and positive connotations, the DAO hack, but there is a lot of room for development and improvement on this side. In our view DAOs will perform critical roles in the future and especially in our game. Voting on buyback mechanics by the Treasury DAO, funding projects and wars by individual Guild DAOs, dispute resolution in player agreements made by the High Court DAO (Decentralized Justice is super exciting imo), and so many other use cases we have planned.
Sorry for all the text but we actually have internal meetings about a lot of these things regularly and have been building a document that tackles these topics, you could say this is a sneak peak 
. Please let us know if you have any further questions or need any clarification.

The public roadmap requires signing into gitbook - can you share a public one without having to sign in?
Also @Mattyontap will be taking over and will be interfacing with your team and he has questions also.

Hi! The gitbook should be viewable without signing in. I just confirmed with some of my community members! Please try this link and if more problems persist I will move it somewhere else. It is also available on our Discord! under #faq
Welcome, @DeFi_The_Gods, and thank you for sharing your proposal with us. Can you link me to the mini game so I can poke around?
Also, the milestones listed are not the appropriate fit and should be tailored to your game (we need to update those on our end). Can you come up with more meaningful milestones, focused on mainnet launch, that are ambitious yet achievable? Creating a multisig is important, but not a milestone to attach funding to.

Hey! Our devs are currently working out some UI bugs and getting everything onto mainnet. We should have a link for you this week. Our team is also currently reworking our milestones to fit our project. Thank you for the response and we look forward to everything!

hey @DeFi_The_Gods - Since we last chatted, there have been some updates on our end that I would like to share with you. The text below is a copy/paste, but I am sending it with the same TLC that I would send any personalized message with. I care about your game and simply want to see you succeed.
As you may be aware, all funding for grants and investments are on hold. I would like to invite you to join our discussion here so that you can be fully informed and stay in the loop as things unfold.
That said, I want to encourage you to continue building. Our goal is clear: to make Harmony the leader in gaming and to make it as easy as possible for you to build, launch, and find success with your game. Most importantly, we care about the relationship we can build together. Please reach out to me on Telegram so we can make this happen. As you build, you still have access to our team for technical support. As you launch on mainnet and gain user traction, there are many ways a partnership with Harmony can lead to great things - even without funding.
Today, we released this video to highlight the many features that makes Harmony a great place for web3 gaming:
Thank you for considering Harmony as the home for your game launch. I look forward to cheering you on and am here to assist you in any way I can.
Matty
