Introducing Gotchi Heroes Reworked Version + Funding Request
Gotchi Heroes is a passion-driven project, born out of a love for idle and clicker games and a desire to fill a gap in the blockchain gaming space. Initially with a small team and limited experience, we embarked on this journey to create an enjoyable, addictive game with real rewards. After nearly two years of dedicated effort and significant personal investment, we are proud to have brought our initial vision to life and gained a lot of experience throughout the journey. While I have funded the majority of the project, my ambition to fulfill the dream that inspired me remains unwavering. The fact that players are now engaged and participating in the game brings me immense joy and gratitude.
At SlowSundayGames, we’ve developed Gotchi Heroes, an IDLE gameplay journey where players use their Aavegotchis as characters. Through XP events and rewarding seasons, we’ve tested our backend servers and scalability successfully. However, to further enhance our offering, there are enhancements we need to make.
Gotchi Heroes aims to provide an immersive gaming experience on par with industry leaders. We plan to integrate Aavegotchi assets and other features to enhance the interface and bring our vision to life.
Our vision extends beyond the present. We’re excited about the prospects of transitioning to the Unity game engine and a full art revamp, a move that promises a refreshing, graphic design and a responsive user interface. This leap forward isn’t just an upgrade; it’s our ticket to unveiling new and exciting game mechanics, designed to captivate our gamers further.
To realize this vision, we seek financial support from the Aavegotchi DAO. Together, we aim to redefine gaming standards for Aavegotchi games and leave our mark in the blockchain gaming world.

Proposal
This proposal outlines our request for Aavegotchi DAO’s support in migrating Gotchi Heroes to the Unity game engine and eventually the Gotchichain. This endeavor is not just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s a comprehensive revamp of the game, from its core framework to its user interface. We are working with a game developer and game artist so the assets shown are real life examples of how the game will change.
How will Aavegotchi DAO Benefit?
Here’s what Aavegotchi DAO stands to gain:
Improved Player Experience: By enhancing the graphics and incorporating fresh game mechanics, we promise a vastly improved and more immersive player experience.
Inclusion of Alchemica: The integration of Alchemica is already complete This move will offer new in-game actions and raise their utility.
Token Burning: We plan to burn 50% of the Alchemica deployed for in-game actions, which will effectively serve as a sink for Aavegotchi tokens.
We project a budget of 50k USD for this initiative. This figure encompasses the costs of redevelopment, graphic enhancement, testing, implementation, and subsequent maintenance.
