Builders Program: The First Projects Accepted!
from axie.substack.com
Your Axie NFTs are a ticket to an infinite realm of experiences. Today, we take a major step towards making this a tangible reality.
The Builders Program is one of many initiatives that will unlock more enjoyment and utility for your Axies, in this case from community built experiences. While we plan on harnessing community-built games to strengthen the Axie ecosystem, Sky Mavis will also be forming partnerships with major game studios to develop experiences for the Axie Infinity and Ronin.
The Axie nation has been clamoring to see projects come out of the Builders Program and our Builders in the community have been going full force.
We’re ecstatic to present the initial set of projects we’ve accepted into the program.
Before we share all of the teams and projects, we want to thank all those teams who applied and emphasize that this is just the beginning. We will be accepting many more teams over time (and maybe even quite soon) and everyone should continue to build, in fact the more progress teams are able to make the more likely they will be accepted into the program.
We’ve noticed some teams mention that they are only looking to build projects if they are accepted into the program. Unfortunately, these teams are less likely to be accepted as there are many other teams they are competing with who are making significant and real progress.
Also, we wanted to emphasize that building Axie experiences does not require permission or being accepted into the Builders Program.
As per the Builders guidelines, any community member can start building Axie experiences for the community to enjoy that generates revenue (or is completely free)... right now!If a project reaches a certain level of revenue and is abiding by all the Builders guidelines, we will likely just accept the team into the Builders Program.
With that said, here are some key ways to increase your chances of being accepted:Make real progress: Reiterating this again as one of the most important factors. We value teams who actually build and can show progress through art, demos, full gameplay, well thought-out plans, forming strong teams, and many other ways.
Share progress with the community: We receive thousands of Builders applications; sharing your progress regularly and openly with the community via places like Twitter and the Builders-Program discord channel helps us make sure you’re on our radar. Not to mention it’ll help drive community interest and support in your project!
Form the right team for your project: There are very ambitious community members in Lunacia, but building games and experiences is also very hard.
We want to see that teams have the right skill sets and team members to execute on their proposed project.
Show a history of building: Teams with a history of shipping solid projects and working together show that they have the experience to execute on what they are setting out to do.
Be a great Lunacian: We want all of our Builders to be positive role models for the community who believe in our long-term mission of creating freedom for gamers.
Without further ado, here are the Builders that have been accepted into the program.
