[REPORT] Progress Update on NEAR onboarding game developed by Ready Layer One

RECAP with updated details:

Project Name: The Sharded One (was TBD)
Link: https://thesharded.one (was TBD)
Funding: For version 1 development and launch

Description:
We are building a text-based, it’s in the style of like the 80s terminal-based games which take you through opening a wallet, making a transaction, using the explorer, minting an NFT, trying DeFi, etc. At the end of the game, the player will have created a mainnet wallet, minted a Ready Layer One NFT, and have a sense of what NEAR is and how to navigate it. It would work on mobile and desktop.


Progress:
We are very near (no pun intended) completion of the first version of the game. We had a couple of re-writes the past few months but we made a lot of progress. Here is an outline of what is completed:

  1. Domains & servers setup and running
  2. Visual design, in-game assets, and branding commissioned and completed (by a NEAR based 1/1 artist)
  3. Testnet version of the first level complete and going through testing now
  4. Second level being coded now
  5. Wrote custom APIs for wallet creation NFT creation using KeyPom which has spun out to its own product that will be another public good (https://shard.dog)

We are very excited to launch this in December and plan to continue development of more levels.

Thank you!!
