HarmonyWorld - Sandbox Metaverse On Harmony

Name of Project / DAO / Company

HarmonyWorld

Application type

Grant

Proposal overview

HarmonyWorld is a Play2Earn user generated content platform, where land owners can create unique multiplayer P2E experiences on their land, and users can create their own unique avatar and style to play these experiences.

Land
HarmonyWorld will consist of 100,000 tiles of land split into multiple sizes, where land owners can host unique game experiences on their land as well as rent out parts of their land to builders. This would for example allow a land owner to build a neighborhood and then rent out plots for users to build houses on. If a land owner is renting out part of their land to more then one person scripts would be disabled on that land.

Workspace

HarmonyWorld will feature a advanced building/scripting tool where users can easily build out experiences using tools found in professional-grade software, as well as in-game social building tools for a more gamified building experience. We expect the in-game building tools to be used when players are building on parts of land they have rented and for games with minimal scripting.

Powerful Scripting Environment

-- Locate the relevant objects
local Door = game.scene.children[4]
local PreassurePlate = game.scene.children[5]

-- Add a physics enabled cube to move around
local Cube = Object.New()
Cube.Size = {1,1,1}
Cube.Position = {3,1,5}
Cube.Color = {255,155,0}
Cube.UnAnchor()

-- Open the door when a collision occurs on the preassureplate
function handler(o, a)
    Door.Destroy() -- Destroy the door
    PreassurePlate.Color = {0,255,0} -- Change the color of the preassureplate to green
end

PreassurePlate.Collided.add(handler)

The above gif is a example of a multiplayer game running a script.

HarmonyWorld features an advanced Lua environment which allows creators to easily turn their ideas into realities. There will also be extensive documentation as well as tutorials to allow creators to pickup scripting easily.

NFT Personalization

HarmonyWorld will allow users to personalize their avatars with NFT hats/accessories and clothing which users can show off in-game.

Social Platform
Besides being a platform for creators to create gamified experiences as well as custom models for others to use in their game, HarmonyWorld will also be a social platform with user profiles/groups and forums for discussion.

Proposal ask

The funds will be used to expand the team to ensure each department is balances and has the support needed to foster a healthy and productive workflow. Funding will assist in delivering the HarmonyWorld social platform, as well as further developing the workspace and animations.

Metrics for success

  • Working multiplayer with custom building and scripting
  • Working prototype workspace for building and scripting
  • Lua Scripting Environment synced across clients

This looks good to me! Harmony could certainly use a sand/decentraland competitor!

Hello @HarmonyWorld and thanks for the proposal. I like how you’re ambition has driven you to begin this project even as a single-person team. That said, we’ll need to see some more progress before a grant can be discussed.

Unfortunately, your proposal is not ready for a Launch grant based on the guidelines at Apply for Grants or DAO due to the following reasons:

Applications of each launch must have prototyped a feature-full product. Harmony helps incubate these founding teams with product development, fundraising, and talent recruit. We recommend a $50K equity-free contribution each:

$10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
$10K after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs
$10K after launching on our mainnet with audit
$10K after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
$10K after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)

We hope you continue to build on this concept and circle back when it is ready to be discussed further. Thank you for choosing Harmony.
