Summary
Include Power Plins into “TIP-28 Use of ARB for Game Studio Partnerships” Proposal A “Distribute 500,000 ARB to selected game builders who have helped build with Treasure during the 2021/2022”
Rationale
According to Karel here (Common), we were removed from TIP-28 due to our announcement of sunsetting and pausing development. Furthermore if we wish to get included again, we should open a discussion:
As this is still an indicative list, if you, Batsu, or somebody else would like to submit a TIP for them or other projects that they feel are wrongfully excluded, they are more than welcome to do so to allow for the community to discuss and weigh in.
The full discussion about our announcement, Treasures response and our response, which lead to our exclusion can be found on Twitter: x.com
Shortened Timeline to put things into perspective: March 2022 - Power Plins planning phase May 2022 - Power Plins goes public on Twitter and Discord July/August 2022 - approaching Treasure for deeper integrations August 2022 - getting accepted as a $MAGIC listed project on Trove September 2022 - Mint & Launch of a fully working (staking) game October/November 2022 - Discussion with Treasure, mainly Bridgeworld Team - about integrations of BW Treasures and Treasure related NFTs into our gameplay loops November 2022/December 2022 - Building an event loop for BW-Recruits as a short time crossover into Power Plins February 2023 - proposed Idea to make event loop for BW-Recruits into a permanent feature (with some tweaks), as Arbitrum Odyssey is unlikely to ever happen. March 2023 - Troubleshooting IPFS issues with the Trove team 1st May 2023 - announced pausing of future development. Power Plins’s boss cycles are running as usual. 4th May 2023 - announced plans to continue as Wyze jumped in to fill the role as our main developer. 5th May 2023 - “TIP-28 Use of ARB for Game Studio Partnerships” announced and Power Plins excluded from it. 10th May 2023 - new dev is working on off-chain version of Power Plins
During our journey so far we have partnered with EGGFAM, The Beacon, Toadstoolz, MechaPunkx/LamboCorp/Billy’sWorld, Arbidudes, The Lost Donkeys, BattleFly, Kasumi Dungeons, Smol Age, The Legends of Eros, Polyheads, The Gainlings and Smulips. We have given out over 180 NFTs to our active players, distributed through our boss fights in a fair manner, where top and casual players have a chance at achieving rewards.
A full list of partnerships can be found in our gitbook here: Partner Projects | Power Plins Whitepaper
What are we doing if we are included back into TIP28? We’d use the funds to continue working on Power Plins and cover monthly infrastructure costs.
The results of this proposal and TIP28 will further determine indicatively whether or not we will implement the planned interoperability loops for BW Treasures, Treasure-related NFTs, and BW Recruits into our game. More detailed descriptions of these 3 loops can be found in our discord, or quoted here Common
