The oracle responds

Do I need to know how to program?

Not necessarily. With today’s AI tools, anyone can build a prototype. Here’s the typical path:

1. Co-design with AI – Brainstorm your game’s core loop, features, and scope.
2. Create a spec – Ask the AI for a concise MVP plan (screens, assets, gameplay flow, blockchain touchpoints).
3. Generate a build – Use AI dev tools (like Cursor or Lovable) to scaffold a playable prototype.
4. Refine & polish – Improve gameplay, UI, balance, and add one Web3 interaction (e.g., reading an MB NFT to unlock content).
5. Publish – Deliver a GitHub repo, a playable build (web/desktop/mobile), and a short gameplay video.

👉 Your role is to make creative and product decisions. You may tweak or edit lightly, but you don’t need to hand-code everything.

Do I have to be a blockchain expert?

No. You don’t need deep blockchain knowledge. We’ll give you:

- Step-by-step guides and a starter kit for Polygon and Ardor
- Simple examples of on-chain touchpoints (e.g., reading an NFT or writing an event)
- Mentor support for wallet setup, test assets, and basic transactions

👉 Your prototype can stay mostly Web2 — just add one small blockchain interaction to bring it into the Mythical Beings universe.

Will the rights to my game be mine? Can I monetize it myself?

Yes. You (and your team) fully own your game and its IP.

By submitting, you only grant the DAO a limited right to:
- Showcase your MVP (on our site, streams, and events)
- Optionally list it in the Mythical Game Store

Beyond that, you’re free to:
- Sell your game on itch.io, Steam, or app stores
- Launch your own NFTs
- Work with publishers

👉 Just make sure you have the rights to any third-party assets you use.

Can I participate as a team?

Yes — teams are welcome (and encouraged).

- Choose a team lead as the main contact
- Agree in advance on how you’ll split any prizes
- Credit all contributors in your project README

👉 Collaboration is part of the spirit of the contest.
