Decentraland

Should the following $25,000 grant in the Platform category be approved?

Abstract

Doki’s NPC Pick ‘n Mix is a vast variety of GLB files (hosted on a github repository) that allows you to combine numerous modular items to create unique NPCs within Decentraland.

The possibilities are endless and they don’t need to make sense! You could opt for a conventional choice and have a basic, boring banker or maybe you could switch it up and explore more imaginative options- like a botanist beekeeper who does banking! You could have a futuristic florist, a spooky salesman supervisor, a royal robotics engineer or even a mediaeval marine biologist- well, maybe not that one, that option seems a bit far-fetched.

Description

Doki’s NPC Pick ‘n Mix strives to enhance the feeling of being within Decentraland by providing a diverse range of creative crowds, audiences and a sense of belonging.

Perhaps you find yourself pressed for time and can’t seem to find an artist on time? No problem, with the Pick n’ Mix you can create your NPC within a matter of minutes.

Maybe you want to showcase the quality of your brand within your land? Within seconds you can scour through the repository and find themes that fit what you’re looking for and will showcase and reflect the quality of your brand within the quality of the NPCs themselves.

Let’s suppose you want to deliver information to people who visit your land in a creative and fun way? Well because the NPCs can be created within such a short time, you can spend more time making your NPCs give information or tutorials in a fun and interactive way! Each NPC head will have moveable eyes, tongue and teeth so if you’d like to go the extra mile you could even have facial animations to further elevate you and your audience’s experience!

Do you ever visit your land and sometimes feel like it’s empty and not want anyone else to experience that? By swiftly assembling these NPCs and placing them within your land, you’ll be able to create a feeling of belonging and crowdedness as these NPCs roam or relax around your land.

To summarize, Doki’s NPC Pick n’ Mix aims to help you create high quality NPCs that you can create in a short amount of time to spruce up your land in a creative way all while having fun - because let’s be honest- it can be quite fun to dress up characters every now and then, right?

To finish, you won’t have to worry about copyright issues as all items in the Pick n’ Mix are free to use within Decentraland as NPCs, eliminating any concerns you may have regarding copyright infringement.
