Project Detail

1. Project Name: Loot Survivor Mobile Client

2. Overview:

   • Background: Loot Survivor is a web-based on-chain game within the Starknet ecosystem, known for its strategic depth and community-driven gameplay. The game is built on top of the Realms and Loot projects, with a strong focus on decentralised gaming.
   • Objective: The goal is to create a reliable, feature-rich mobile client for Loot Survivor, using React Native to deliver a Progressive Web App (PWA) for seamless mobile access and integration with Starknet. Allowing players to access and engage with the game on-the-go, enhancing the overall user experience and accessibility.

3. Uniqueness:

   • Mobile-First Approach: Unlike existing web clients, this project will focus on optimising the gameplay experience for mobile devices, with intuitive touch controls, responsive design, and seamless integration with on-chain mechanics.
   • Community Engagement: The app will include features that encourage community interaction, such as in-app notifications for game events and direct access to community forums.
   • Experience: The Loot Survivor Mobile Client will be developed and maintained as a high-quality mobile gateway to the game, offering unique features (e.g. simplified UI, QR game sharing) and long-term support.

4. Target Audience:

   • Current Loot Survivor Players: Existing users who wish to have a more accessible way to play the game.
   • Mobile Gamers: Broader gaming audience that prefers mobile over web-based games, potentially attracting new players to the Starknet ecosystem.
   • On-chain Gaming Enthusiasts: Blockchain and decentralised game enthusiasts who want to experience seamless, mobile gaming.

5. Motivation:

   • Passion for Mobile Development: With a strong background in mobile development, I am excited to bring my skills into the Starknet ecosystem, contributing to its growth and accessibility.
   • Ecosystem Contribution: This project enriches the community by offering a mobile client for Loot Survivor, addressing the growing demand and enhancing accessibility for players.

2. UI Enhancements:

   • Lighter UI: Improved visual and colour cues for better clarity and simplicity.
   • Visualisation: Direct data visualisation and calculations for an easier grasp of game status.

3. Potential Features:

   • Loot Survivor SDK: Integrating the Loot Survivor SDK developed by Loaf
   • Client-Exclusive Tournaments: Incentivising players by staking rewards per player per game for the reward pool.
   • Push notifications: Alerts for game events, tournaments, and updates.

4. Future Expansion:

   • Long-term Commitment: Post-launch updates to keep the mobile client in sync with the web version and any new game features.

Stretched goals

Fully utilising mobile gaming and developing a unique and mobile tailored experience for the players, by introducing future updates:

1. Traditional Payment Acceptance: Developing functionality for players to pay via traditional methods, with an automatic mint to their controller address.
2. Adventure Replays: A feature that allows players to recreate their adventure based on transaction and travel data, helping them analyse and learn from past decisions..
3. Multi-Move Planning and Execution

Killer Feature: Multi-Move Planning and Execution

I would revamp the in games prescience feature.

The current system displays a tree of possibilities in a form of a list of items, with the revamp I would change that to an interactive adventurer's path showcasing possible futures with intuitive graphics depending on player preparations in advance!

This feature would allow players to:

• Strategise multiple moves in advance, then watch their character seamlessly execute the entire sequence with a single tap
• Track their journey through animations
• Dramatically smooth out the user experience
• Submit all the moves as a single multi-transaction

How the game would be played:

• Prescience would be showcased as a road/path that would fork on each beast representing all possible futures for the current level
• By choosing a node(item) on the road the player can commit and move towards that node, executing all transactions at once!
• (optional) Shop revamp:
  • Players would have 3 adventurers set in their inventory representing all 3 different types of monsters/obstacles
  • By buying items the player can equip that item to all or some of the 3 sets
  • While adventuring depending on the encounter the appropriate set will automatically be equipped without any player input needed

Path to realisation:

Once promised app is delivered I'd request further support to continue building and upgrading the game with this killer feature providing players with both the original design and a completely new way of playing the loot survivor mobile game!
