We are innovators in the 3d NFT space with our fully animated 3d NFTs that are used in our game and also have utility outside of the game itself (3d viewer, AR viewer). +We have a strong understanding of the NFT space, the technical specifications, and the supporting infrastructure available. This positions us well to deliver a strong product for other Algorand projects to use and benefit from. + +## Present Proposal +Video presentation of the platform +Cosmic champs is FREE to play, AAA-quality, Action-packed PVP strategy game that combines elements from collectible card games, tower defense and online battle arena!

This increased security and performance are both crucial as they implicity represent Algorand itself (to an unedeucated user). Our game is using a proven model with very wide audience appeal and huge potential for mass adoption. + +Cosmic Champs has been recognized with a nomination for the best blockchain game of 2023 by PlayToEarn. This nomination is a testament to the game’s impact and potential in the blockchain gaming community. Even more so as we were the only Algorand game that was nominated. + +We are constantly looking for new ways how to empower other Algorand projects (cross community NFT collabs, branded prize bots in our game) so they can benefit from our exposure and success and vice-versa. + +## Additional information +Play our game here: https://beta.cosmicchamps.com/ +NFT browser + 3d view: https://nft.cosmicchamps.com/ +Browse game characters: https://cards.cosmicchamps.com/ +Coorporate page: https://cosmicchamps.com/ From cb1cc92e40bee575370704862d17ee74987fcd30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: madshapes-dev <83864482+madshapes-dev@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2024 18:40:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Update xgov-205.md update forum link --- Proposals/xgov-205.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Proposals/xgov-205.md b/Proposals/xgov-205.md index 2ca841db..708f6e45 100644 --- a/Proposals/xgov-205.md +++ b/Proposals/xgov-205.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ period: 4 title: Cosmic Champs P2E game - RETROACTIVE author: Cosmic Champs (@madshapes-dev) email: simon@madshapes.com -discussions-to: +discussions-to: https://forum.algorand.org/t/xgov-205-cosmic-champs-p2e-game-retroactive/11863 company_name: Cosmic Champs International Limited category: Community focus_area: Gaming From 507276ddf984b93bb3a45ada905a34dcc435eb8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: madshapes-dev <83864482+madshapes-dev@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 5 May 2024 15:06:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Update xgov-205.md reduced the ask, added more details about what the funds will be used for (regardless if it's retroactive grant) --- Proposals/xgov-205.md | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Proposals/xgov-205.md b/Proposals/xgov-205.md index 708f6e45..02a58817 100644 --- a/Proposals/xgov-205.md +++ b/Proposals/xgov-205.md @@ -10,13 +10,13 @@ category: Community focus_area: Gaming open_source: No funding_type: Retroactive -amount_requested: 69420 +amount_requested: 50000 delivery_date: 2021-01-28 status: Final --- ## Abstract -Video | Cosmic champs is FREE to play, AAA-quality, Action-packed PVP strategy game that combines elements from collectible card games, tower defense and online battle arena!
