Sunflower Land Photo Album 🖼️: A feature for collectors

[rodolfoddias]

Context:

Nowadays, we have lots of players that aims only into the financial aspects of the game. After all, this is one of the consequences (due expectations) of running a Web3 based game.

If we think about reasons that would make players play SFL for years, I would say there are three main ones:

• Community: People will stay in the game as long as they bond with people in the community. Lots of us already have friends in international or language chats and its nice to keep in touch with them.
• Progression: For hardcore players, it's all about it. As longe as we have game updates, new features, quests, levels / expansions to unlock, players will stay and return.
• Collection: Some of you are probably like me, and are trying to collect every NFT possible to keep your collection updated - even those with only decorative purposes. The bears are an excellent example of how the collection aspect is strong in our community. People asked for the Valentine's day Bear and now it will be airdropped for those who donated to community artists (WHICH IS A GREAT PROOF OF HOW AWESOME OUR COMMUNITY IS).

In order to keep us, collectors, motivated, and give people reasons to collect decorative NFTs, I would like to propose a Photo Album feature:

Photo Album Feature

The Photo Album would contain a slot for every released SFT of SFL. If we have the NFT in our farm's wallet, we can complete its achievement into the photo album. This is an example from Ragnarok:

As an achievement, each NFT collected would reward a player. It could be either with game resources or a REALLY SMALL BUFF that wouldn't hurt the economy but could make a difference as long as you collect more and more NFTs.

The buffs would definitely serve as an incentive, since everyone is only looking into utility NFTs. It isn't a must, but definitely would have a great impact on this feature if implemented. Players could unlock single achievements and category achievements. Example:

• Pineapple shirt achievement: Have at least a Pineapple shirt in wallet
• Anti-Crow achievement: Have all Scarecrows placed in your farm
• To represent a completed achievement, a photo of that NFT or a scene of it in the farm would be added into the photo album (would need great arts for it)

I believe a buff of 0,01 or even less would fit the purpose. The idea is to collect as many as NFTs as possible to turn multiples 0,01 buffs into a 0,1 one. With the halving system, we will need to increase minting rate to keep players motivated, so it would be also a way to address this future issue.

By the way, it would be a nice way to introduce buffs for new players and to increase demand of thousands of NFTs that are currently forgotten.

Would like to reinforce that the buffs ARE NOT MANDATORY for this proposal. But I believe it would definitely increase players interest into collection aspects of the game.

Now that we have the Codex, it's something that could be added to it :)
