Product Background
​
PolkaFantasy was primarily a Web3 game & NFT project. As the project matured a wider strategy was formed with the hopes of assisting traditional game development companies explore and develop for the Web3 gaming industry.
​
PolkaFantasy Game Marketplace was the secondary driving product of the PolkaFantasy ecosystem. It was a centralised, cross-chain marketplace that focused on the sales and trading of gaming NFTs in collaboration with other web3 gaming projects nurtured via FantasyPad. From version 1.5 onward the Game Marketplace would become intertwined with PolkaFantasy Game to support a secondary game token and game item purchases.

Outcomes
​
Successfully managed the Official launch of PolkaFantasy Game & Game Marketplace with support for a secondary token and game item purchases. Both products were launched on 29th June 2023.

Lessons
Since there were 3 teams collaborating closely for the development of this project clear and concise communication was absolutely necessary, especially since English was not the mother tongue for any team. Clear documentation also needed to be maintained to describe how the product worked as well as to inform how various users would interact with the platform.
