Hello Ohmies!
This is a bit of a unique proposal I want to submit.
I hope it can be the first to start a trend I hope future ‘game’ projects can do. My vision is to actually work with protocols and build out what I believe the true ‘metaverse’ is.
SUMMARY:
TLDR; I’m making a platform for games (an actual game client). One game is a ‘Super Smash Brothers’ of Crypto. I’d like to dedicate a stage to Olympus – since I was an Ohmie at the beginning I feel it be something nice. I ask for 33 OHM to build the stage. The OHM will be used to build the studios treasury (staked, 3,3) of course. In return OHM receives the NFT to represent ownership of the stage, and the owner of the NFT can place any word/image (within reason).
MOTIVATION:
I have received messages of Ohmies willing to pay the 33 OHM themselves – I love that. That is not the point for me. I hope that the single NFT will be worth more in years to come as I build this game and platform out. It represents a new model we can introduce to other protocols. Much like Olympus, building a treasury is important but so is this proposal in itself and what it implies. This adds a different, albeit small asset class to Olympus’ current treasury while at the same time helps builds our treasury – while adding a special place Olympus can say they helped build in the game.
I plan to propose to similar protocols of similar veins. I am likely to propose this to to Alchemix for example as the next one. The objective is to propose and involve other Defi protocols (with good reputation and longstanding communities), thus each stage involves a protocol in crypto. Regarding the funds, although treasury remains the key component and thus growing both our treasuries, it will also help supplement the costs to build these assets as each asset is to be built from scratch.
Being the first stage in this game and what I believe is the first of such a proposal – I think this will give a great exposure to Olympus as well. The characters involve numerous CT people (with their permission). Eventually these games will be built onto a client which will be onboarding other games as my complete vision. Thus I believe this will give significant long term branding to Olympus as well.
PROPOSAL:

I have been an Ohmie since the beginning – making the first meme of pepe Zeus video. I have also built a game company with 5 failures and one final ‘success’ called Crazy Fishing VR which broke the company into break-even. Long story short I’m back at it thanks to my love of crypto and am now building a platform for games. No platform will succeed without it’s own games and as such one game is inspired by Super Smash Brothers but with Crypto people (involving the people who made the metaverse is important). I am funding this myself entirely with no outside investors currently. The team involves people who were lead designers from Age of Empires, art from EA games, God of War, etc. Most from my relationships in my history of game development.
Without breaking the game into detail: This is a sketch up of the stage.
The theme and art is clear with golds and whites as the clear theme for Olympus. Something suitable for the gods. The world/image can be discussed, by default it will be set to Olympus (3, 3). Effectively holding the NFT gives control of the words/ image (see the cliff on the left – this will likely have a sign of building for those words).
For those curious, the game design choice is the ‘stage’. The stage has to be clear of distractions since the concentration is on the battle. I could break this in to detail but we made a few design choices on this sketch.
About the game a little bit more:
This is just a sketch up but my intention is to use CT characters. The first is Inversebrah and second will be…… heheh secret but many have already been planned. Characters just take time. For example, in a game of this calibre, it takes 40 animation sequences off a model just to complete one. Game development takes a long time if you want to put quality in it! (one character likely takes 1 month let alone play testing.)

I am sure there will be many Olympus’ built in many metaverses. But having watched the growth of Olympus I want to showcase something that represents what Olympus is today. Seeing OHM grow from memes and pepes, it would be my honor to say that Olympus was the first stage created in this game.
A small note I just want to say. Good games take time. I think what is important that this stage alone is likely going to take 1 month of work from the 3D team I have set up. We don’t plan to buy premade assets. Each one needs to be handmade by the team and I think that is important for the Ohmies to know.
For the curious….
If you are curious how a flow works for even a stage in a game:
1. Draft, sketch and concept.
2. Decide elements with game design concepts (for example for Olympus we considered a lightning bolt flash in the background)
3. Begin style guide (Without a style guide multiple assets being made will look like different artist made it. A style guide ensures it ‘appears’ as if one artist made the entire thing, this includes things such as shaders, lighting, colors etc).
4. Begin making the stage. Assets get made.
5. Approvals of assets etc.
6. Test the stage and tweak
7. Etc.
I would love to know what you think and happy to answer any questions.
