[MICROGRANT] CryptoSouls

[junoware]

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

CryptoSouls is an NFT minting and battling game. In it, souls of famous warriors can be minted as NFT's, complete with a set of 5 stats: Strength, Intelligence, Endurance, Charisma, and Luck. IPFS is used for the NFT token data and assets.

Players can enlist their CryptoSouls in the Battle Arena, where they're matched up against other CryptoSouls. Battles consist of 3 rounds of random stat matchups, with the warrior having the higher stat the victor!

2. How are you planning to improve this project? (max 200 words)

With this grant, I'm planning on getting CryptoSouls to mainnet as a public-facing release. There will need to be general improvements to the smart contracts and specific fixes for the battle mechanics (that are already underway). In addition, the website needs a lot of work from a UI and UX perspective. Part of the grant would be used for UI design and additional visual assets, which it's currently lacking. My overall goal with this grant is to have a completed, launched product.

3. Will the work be Open Source?

Yes

4. If selected, do you agree to complete weekly updates and a grant report upon conclusion?

Yes
