1. Pitch the Game

Please describe the game in a short pitch.

"Imaginus" is a groundbreaking game that combines a classic 2D platformer with cutting-edge blockchain technology. Imagine jumping, solving puzzles, and battling enemies with a unique twist: the cool items you collect and the pets you team up with in the game can truly belong to you thanks to NFTs. Through blockchain, you can own your in-game achievements as digital collectibles. This means you can sell them or keep them as part of your digital collection. The $IMA token will not only fuels the in-game economy but also empowers players and creators to contribute to the game’s ecosystem, fostering a vibrant community centered around continuous improvement and creative expression. By engaging in various contribution opportunities, community members can shape the future of the game while being fairly rewarded through a transparent and inclusive DAO-based system. Regular updates and structured governance ensure that player feedback and innovative ideas are seamlessly integrated, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving gaming experience.

Single play loop: Explore (Action) -> Collect (Reward) -> Kill Enemy (Action) -> Find new magic (Reward) -> Solve puzzle (Action) -> Upgrade (Reward) -> Reward

Are there any existing games that you would consider similar to your project?

Our game offers a unique gameplay experience where players are not just participants but integral creators of its development. We provide diverse worlds spanning both Web2 and Web3 environments, allowing players to immerse themselves in a rich and varied gaming experience. The integration of blockchain technology enables ownership and trading of in-game items as NFTs, adding real-world value and deepening player engagement. Through a structured DAO system, our community contributes art, animations, sound design, magic spells, and arenas, all fairly rewarded based on impact and complexity. These elements, coupled with the ability to govern game development through $IMA tokens, make our game truly unique and incomparable to others in the market. Our product is pretty unique, but if you're looking for comparable games, there are only a few options similar to ours: Ori and the Blind Forest, Oddmar, and Gris

2. Game Dev Experience

Have you built games prior to this bounty request?

No*,* we haven’t built the grants related to games. However, one of the founders, Toma, has applied for and successfully obtained multiple grants, such as OpenBrush for the first year and the WebSummit proposal for Open Gov. Additionally, she was the facilitator of the inkubator, one of the first bounties in the Polkadot ecosystem..

Do any of the previously mentioned games have a Web3 component?
