Top 5 Haegin Competitors & Alternatives

Who we are 1-UP is a blockchain game and metaverse project created by KA Labs. We’re attacking the PC and mobile eSports crowd with a 2D platform battling game and metaverse with built-in custom content creation tools. We believe gaming is what will ignite mass adoption of Web3 technology. Legacy companies like Atari, GameStop, EA Sports, and Ubisoft are entering the blockchain gaming market. At the same time, high level employees and creative directors from AAA studios are starting their own companies looking to leverage NFT technology and blockchain compatibility into new projects. This is a market poised to erupt. Our core team is comprised of 10 members and 2 advisors spread across the globe that came together in 2020 with the idea of creating a game we would all want to play ourselves. The decision to include blockchain integration came from recognizing a burgeoning market that would allow true asset ownership for gamers and a mechanism for an independent studio to compete with the major players in the gaming market. We are small, but battle tested. Our two tech leads have a combined 12 years of experience in the game dev and Web3 space and our product manager previously managed a mobile game with 10 million downloads. So far we have raised roughly $200k from our token presale and another $225k from pre-seed investments. We are next looking for a seed raise of $1.75m to support marketing and user adoption, 15 months of product development, and team salaries and expansion. This would include setting up a unified studio in Vietnam to put our team under one roof. Our MVP game build will go to mainnet early Q4 2022 closely followed by our NFT mints. About our game The 1-UP platform allows users to deposit the 1-UP (ERC-20) tokens to enter tournaments and earn rewards. The available games are based on classic retro style platformers like Mario, Metroid, and Contra that gamers know and love. Players battle against each other in Team DeathMatch, and Battle Royale style competitions for a chance at a piece of the reward pool. Those rewards can then later be withdrawn into 1-UP to be traded on the blockchain. Players will use NFT characters with unique traits integrated into the game with different profiles, clothing, armor, and weapons. The first season features popular internet and web3 figures seen in memes shared across Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. Our flagship creation is the custom character builder, which will allow you to create the perfect look for your in-game avatar and also allows for the upload of your own artwork to create a character to play in 1-UP World. Eventually users will be able to mint these characters as NFTs to list for sale on the open market. A player will enter the game through the 1-UP metaverse and explore for treasures, meet other players to chat or battle, ride in cars, tanks, and helicopters, and also choose their preferred game type. The initial launch will feature two world themes on our custom game engine: Retro World and Meme Arena. Retro World will feature simple 8-bit pixel platforms and art that are more familiar to fans of the side-scroller platformers from the NES and SNES era. Meme Arena is where your anime-style 2D NFTs and custom art can be integrated into a similar platform-style battler. Both styles allow for all match types where the winners leave with the largest share of rewards. Creative-minded users who may not want to play for rewards can also use the drag-and-drop level builder to create a custom level-design NFT and earn revenue from its use in 1-UP World. A game marketplace will allow purchase of game packs, weapons, vehicles, time boosters (to repair damaged armor and weapons), as well as loot box keys and a character rental system. 1-UP token holders are incentivized to lock their tokens into the game as virtual 1-UP where they can receive a portion of the reward pool based on their holding percentage and have a chance at periodic airdrops of NFTs, weapons, tokens, and more. Later updates will continue to expand on the game play, solo campaigns, levels, character skins, and allow for more communities to integrate their NFTs. Plus we have plans for guild creation and more robust advertising inside the game to provide additional revenue to support development.

Hello! Thanks so much for this opportunity. I am Paula Jones, founder of Blind Chihuahua. I have a long history in high level global music production/engineering, working with Elton John, Stevie Nicks, INXS, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes, Rob Zombie etc. I began Blind Chihuahua as a live streaming service with a purpose built mobile studio and 6 camera crew, and during covid realised there was a more immersive way to bring audiences from home into live shows. So I recruited a team of game devs by partnering with SAE, and built Blind Chihuahua virtual in Unreal Engine, partnering with Ready Player Me very early on (we are one of their first 20 partners). Our goal was to bring audiences into livestreamed shows in the most fun and immersive way possible, and to build a very high quality, super engaging and high definition audio experience. During the dev of that project, which we decided to distribute by Pixel Streaming to a browser, we discovered that high def audio is not intuitively incorporated into the Pixel Streaming stack. This is fine if you're doing ArchViz, but not so much if you're streaming multi platinum artists who need to sound amazing. In fact, we've discovered that high quality audio is not paramount in many metaverse type projects, and that bad audio is inherent in web streaming using WebRTC as a protocol. So our aim here is two fold, one to build an interface that launches our Unreal Build with great audio in and out, that incorporates low latency high resolution streaming, that is connected to the blockchain, and that makes very efficient use of the user's internet bandwidth. Ultimately we would like to build a feature into the app that also detects the user's hardware and can give the option of downloading so we can free up the cloud GPU usage and bring down the overall cost of streaming super hi res graphics, while connecting all users multiplayer through the app's network. To make it even more cost effective, we would include a spectator mode for users that don't want to actively participate in the scene but will watch it as a video with interactive chat. The ultimate use case would be as a front end for interoperability as an open metaverse platform, we are heavily across what people in that space like Ryan Gill are doing with the Emergence SDK etc, and would love to be involved in evolving that as a concept. We have been actively chatting with Dolby about solving the audio problem, I was engaged to talk to their team about my career and in doing so we discovered that they are well aware of this audio issue in web streaming and are keen to have a company with our perspective (creating content) to work with on solving it. Our second goal is to build out our metaverse/live music app around a game, that involves late night characters such as ninja falafels and zombie pets, that weaves a narrative around the music events, that encourages people to come back, that populates our environment with people so we don't have a boring, lonely experience for our users. We have partnered with Emoshape to bring our NPC's to life as sentient characters, and have a host of interesting reactive fun stuff going on to keep our community entertained. We are developing ways to integrate with real world festivals and live events that is not currently being tested in the marketplace. We have done extensive potential customer research and validation of the concept. In addition, we've just built a web3 battleship game for an NFT community called Pirate Nodes, which launched with few issues after we built it in 5 weeks, a fully animated Unity WebGL build. I'll include a video below. We are fully open to developing more web3 games for clients, some which are now in early development and which haven't picked a token platform yet, so either way we are keen to start building on Immutable. A token protocol is central to the commerce aspect of our live music/zombie pet game, in game transactions for digital wearables, meet and greet with artists, potential partnerships for real life use of NFT's at concerts, we are incorporating an arcade and several mini games which would be great for partnerships with other projects and for our community to use tokes in. Because our experience is music based and reaches a wide sector of fan bases, we would be hybrid in our approach, using both tokens and fiat.
