V1 Short-Term Outcomes

These are the outcomes that define "V1 complete." Each can be demonstrated in a single session.

V1 Proof Loop

Onboarding -> add plant -> record care -> earn energy -> nurture/evolve creature -> play a game

Outcomes

Passkey: WebAuthn-based sign-in (fast + phishing-resistant)
Wallet: standard EVM wallet connection
Done when: User returns after refresh/offline and still has access to their local profile

2. Player can onboard and select element, location, and user info

Element selection: Water/Earth/Fire/Air
Location details: home biome label + optional geolocation
Creature generated based on element and local environment
Done when: Onboarding is a state machine with explicit steps and can be resumed

3. Player can generate creature based on element and environment

Inputs: element + biome + plant type
Output: CreatureCard (name, description, traits, signature move, starter stats)
V1: curated seed pack or stub generator; LLM behind an interface
Done when: Creature varies visibly by element and environment

4. Player can nurture creature with earned resources

Spend energy to increase XP/stats
Show immediate feedback (progress bar, animation, toast)
Done when: Creature state changes are persisted locally and reflected in gameplay

5. Players can evolve creature with enough XP

XP threshold gates new stage with upgraded stats and new signature move
Done when: Evolution is an explicit action with visible agency

6. Player can add plant from local environment

Camera capture or upload + manual name tag
Plant profile: species, nickname, location tag, first photo timestamp, health score
Done when: Plant is persisted in local inventory with all fields

7. Player can nurture plants with daily photos to earn resources

Daily photo + quick checklist (watered/pruned/observed/cleaned)
Streak tracking with soft decay
Energy reward: +4 base, +6 with streak bonus
Done when: Care events queue locally and can sync/attest later

8. Player can start game with creature as game piece

V1 priority: Tic-Tac-Toe (non-AR baseline) + AR mode if available
Game session includes selected creatures, ruleset, turn state, win/draw detection
Done when: Pass-and-play works; P2P modes functional

9. Player can join game started by another player

V1: second player joins on same device or via join code
Done when: Joining enforces creature selection before first move

10. Player can make game moves on their turn

Turn enforcement via state machine
Moves validated by pure rules engine
Done when: Invalid moves are rejected; turns alternate correctly

11. Player can claim game reward based on result

Win: +8 energy, Draw: +4, Loss: +2
Done when: Reward recorded in event log and reflected in deck energy

12. Player can publish and remix UGC with ownership metadata

UGC local-first, shareable through AT Protocol
Done when: Each item has content hash, creator identity, and moderation status

13. Community can promote UGC into canonized world content

Canonization based on attestations and community signals
Done when: Canon set can be reproduced from attested events and registry state

Assumptions Being Tested

Assumption	V1 Test
People care about plants	Can a new user add a plant + complete 3 care events in their first week?
People will like the story	Do users remember their element + creature name/lore and share it?
It can gain investment as impact tool	Can we report measurable signals without compromising privacy?
