OutLandishly Crafted Zcash Simulator
Build a simple 3D Simulated Game environment in Unreal Engine 5 of a coffee shop. Where the “player” can interact with the staff and purchase a coffee using their simulated Mobile device Apple/Android with any of the dedicated Zcash wallets. Zingo, Zecwallet lite?, NightHawk, New ECC Wallet, suggested others. The “game/simulation” would include the basics of using zcash wallets including making a purchase at a retail store, backup/restore, wallet change, send friend/family funds and so on.
Problem:
-
The Update/Feedback cycle for Mobile apps in a Mobile store is way too long.
-
There are few interactive education systems.
2a. Where you can simulate the process of purchasing a product from a “coffee shop”
2b. Can simulate the process of 1 to 1 transferring zcash to family/friends
2c. Simulate backup/restore of wallet
2d. Simulate Wallet UIs and GUIs for faster better feedback
2e. Most of the current edu systems are made by smart people for smart people and don’t meet the learning needs and process of this generation and the populous around the world who expects a hand-holding experience, not a self-learning one.
Solution:
-
Make an Unreal Engine 5 basic simulation of the UI/Wallets/GUIs for each wallet app dedicated to zcash.
-
Create a basic simulated world of a coffee shop where you can buy a coffee as a zooko “clone” Morphed 3d Image of NOT Zooko as he has requested to not be the face of zcash. Planning to use meta-human. Planned 1st and 3rd person options.
-
Simulated Send money to family, get money from friends Interactions
-
Simulated Back/Restore of wallet
-
Simulated Change to a different wallet
-
Pre-recorded scripted history of zcash

Collect Anonymous Feedback in Game on UI changes requested for the wallets and frustrations with the process. Provide information to ECC and wallet developers.
Goal:
Single Player, no coop/no multiplayer
The goal is PC first as a test, then consoles then mobile if the project is accepted by the community and used/funded.
The Estimated costs cover getting into PC Epic/Steam stores.
Not Goal
Porting to Console and Mobile(android/apple) would be a sub-project needing more funding.
NOT Simulating protocol (This is simply fake "Simulation of the wallets UI, screens and interacts for zcash transactions)
NOT collecting ANY INFORMATION from users other than feedback on UI. Should be anonymous.
NO online servers
Time Frame: 2 Months for development.
ETA: To get into the Steam/Epic Stores is unknown until submitted and approved by the store.
Request:
Funding Estimated costs $5,000 USD Labor
Unknown cost to launch on Steam, Epic, Xbox, or Mobile stores (Est less than $1000)
Assets:
I’m pretty sure I have all the assets required already.
My IT company is Don’t Panic Business Technologies. My Game Development Company is OutLandishly Crafted.
Here are 2 of the 5 games I’ve developed that are on the market. Both are in the top Minecraft marketplace-rated games of all time.
Check out DragonFire 2 : Nations, a community creation available in the Minecraft marketplace.
Check out DragonFire : Bedrock Edition, a community creation available in the Minecraft marketplace.
Although these are not Unreal Engine games, I believe I have enough knowledge and experience already in UE4/5 to make this basic simulator.
I do have examples of UE5 development if requested.
