", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "I've wrapped up a major game project with a team in April 2023 and am eager to try a web3 game development after knowing its specialty. A friend introduced me to Fantom, and so happening, there was a Hackathon taking place during that time. I saw this as a two-birds-with-one-stone opportunity \u2013 building my new web3 game project for the Hackathon, with the prospect of using any prize money to kickstart my own gaming studio, a long-held aspiration, and my goal was to bring the prototype to its ultimate form because I believe it could have big success.\n\nRegrettably, I didn't win any prize money, but I gained something far more precious in the web3 world \u2013 a network, a community, and friends. They like my game, and they even helped me to create a Discord server for the game where they volunteered to be moderators, offering free support and assistance. They share with me a lot of Fantom history, teaching me how to avoid scammers. Together, we brainstormed ideas, embraced the lessons of the hackathon loss, and delved into feedback on UI/UX, monetization strategies, publicity plans, and more. I hold the highest gratitude for the community's contributions; they've become a driving force propelling me forward, stoking my determination to turn this prototype into its ultimate form.\n\nI recognize my project's community might be modest in size, given Fantom's is well known as a DeFi chain. However, I firmly believe that by refining my project and infusing it with my experience in building an RPG game, I can ignite heightened enthusiasm for web3 gaming within the Fantom ecosystem.\n\nThis story might seem unrelated to you or anyone reading this, in short, my subsequent step is to secure funding. Launching a token in the current market climate could invite opportunistic pump-and-dump dynamics. Unfortunately, the VC and angel investors I've approached do not agree with my project building in Fantom due to perceived player base constraints. Nonetheless, my conviction remains strong that Fantom is the optimal chain (especially with FVM and Gas Monetization) for on-chain gaming, particularly RPGs. Thank you for investing your time in reading my story.\n\n\u201cListen to my story, this may be our last chance.\u201d -Tidus", "hidden": true, "question": "Anything else you want to add?
