Innovation, Startup, Research and Development (R&D)

How do you plan on using your grant funding?
Sagarana Vinyl Store is a new branch of Sagarana Publishing, designed to diversify the music disc market in Redmont and create sustainable demand through new item sinks. By expanding beyond traditional publishing, the project will open pathways for both cultural enrichment and economic development, while ensuring long-term stability for the Redmont music industry.

Objectives
The primary mission of Sagarana Records and Vinyl Store is to support and regulate the production, registration, and commercialization of custom music discs. Specifically, the branch will:
• Handle all bureaucratic processes for licensing and registering music patents with the Department of Education.
• Develop Minecraft-compatible textures and audio files for customized music discs.
• Create new crafting recipes and cover crafting costs for mass production of discs.
• Manage the bureaucracy of publishing, sales, distribution, and bug tracking associated with custom discs.
• Launch an Original Music Incentive Program, covering 50% of the patent cost for Redmontian musicians, encouraging local creativity and cultural identity.

Economic Impact
This initiative will introduce new item sinks into the Redmont economy. Each custom disc requires a vanilla music disc as its primary ingredient, in addition to multiple raw materials such as banners, ores, flowers, and other craftables. This demand will:
• Increase the value of existing in-game farmables like Vanilla Discs.
• Stimulate trade and supply chains by employing multiple suppliers.
• Create opportunities for musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs to participate in a thriving new market.

Budget Estimate
• Patent Costs: 13,000 per disc
• Resource Costs (crafting & mass production): approx. 1,000 per disc batch
• Grant Request: 130,000, enabling the launch of an initial wave of 10 custom discs, alongside funding the Original Music Incentive Program and operational expenses.

Conclusion
By approving this grant, the Department of Commerce will be directly investing in Redmont’s cultural and economic landscape. Sagarana Vinyl Store will not only enrich the city’s musical identity but also strengthen item circulation, support creators, and reinforce the server’s dynamic economy.
We respectfully request the Department’s support in funding this innovative and community-driven project.
