Space Noodles is extremely proud to present its official proposal for the further development and community involvement in Chase the Rainbow
.
Please read a full in depth description of the game on our Notion Doc
What is Chase the Rainbow?
Chase the Rainbow is the first ever community driven realtime multiplayer and interoperable browser-based game. Play with your wrapped Space Noodles or Space Doodles and battle to collect the most rainbow points!
Chase the Rainbow aims to spark a new perspective on how community-led initiatives could be developed by fostering an autonomous creative direction. This is the starting point for Chase the Rainbow and we hope to invite developers, artists, musicians, designers, and any creative community member to contribute amazing ideas to our game. The game is ENTIRELY open-source, which allows for the community to contribute their own ideas directly into the code so that we can build the best game and vision together. Open sourcing our game drives community-led initiatives, which is an integral objective that Noodles aims to nurture and incubate for creativity and innovation.
Head over to our Notion Documentation for more in depth information and how to play!
Our first Chase the Rainbow tournament has been planned and will be hosted in tandem with Doodles in the coming weeks. This is a great event for Doodlers to look forward to and for our competitive spirits to shine.
Primary Community Benefits
How does Chase the Rainbow benefit the Doodles brand and community? We believe that this initiative has countless positive benefits on the Doodles community and brand:
- The first utility and use case for Space Doodles
- Organic way to empower the community by encouraging and monetarily rewarding community participation and contribution
- A way for Doodlers to form a deep connection through interacting and bonding with their space doodle
- Encourages holders to wrap their unwrapped doodles and unveil ship combinations that have yet to be seen
- Periodic community-powered activations that Doodlers and all of web3 can look forward to
- A reason for Doodlers to continue to check Discord and keep up with activities
- Source of exposure for the Doodles brand (no other project has a real-time token-gated online multiplayer game with periodic tournaments!)
Chase the Rainbow Tournaments and Awards
Doodles and Noodles will co-host occasional tournaments to garner community bonding. Prizes and rewards will be given for top leaderboard scores, community participation, and special quests, including Dooplicators, Genesis Boxes, Noodles, Space Merch, Doodles goodies, and more.
Doodlebank Ask
The current state of the game is a beta launched version. Although 100% playable and extremely fun, there are always features to be improved and built upon to make this game spectacular. Our goal is to encourage our fellow community members to contribute and build while also getting rewarded. To continue to fund the development and operation of Chase the Rainbow, we are asking for funds to reward community members for solid contributions and developments to the game as well as Game Upkeep, Operations, and Marketing for our team.
Budget Allocation
Total ask: 25 ETH
5 ETH will be reserved for contributors of a variety of improvements and developments to the game and website in the form of bounties and rewards. Below are examples of improvements that can be made.
-
Incorporate new items to improve gameplay (bombs, speed boost, point multipliers, etc)
-
Improve overall UI of the game
-
Improving vfx, sfx (death, pickup, trail reset)
-
Upgrade ai bots
-
Incorporate different game modes and a lobby system
-
Make the game mobile friendly (app?)
-
Improve the rainbow trail
-
Scaling issues on different monitor sizes (consistent aspect ratio)
These funds will be held by Mushy until used in a separate wallet and will be paid out upon completion. Due to the vague nature of this bounty system and the infinite possibilities of improvements and contributions, the approval of completion and the amount paid will be fairly judged and agreed upon by both Mushy, the Noodles team, and the active bounty seeker before starting and after completion. Funds that are not used within the end of January 2023 (~4 months) will be promptly returned back to the Doodlebank. If funds run out or are insufficient to reward bigger and more serious contributions, the difference can be taken out of the other 20 ETH or another proposal will be proposed. These funds are reserved for tangible improvements to the game, such as new code, new art assets, etc. The open source Github repository will be made available to the public after the first Chase the Rainbow official tournament in the coming weeks.
20 ETH will be allocated for development, maintenance, server upkeep, and operating costs.
