I've gotten some questions: does it really make sense to plan to build a distributed game system as part of the fediverse? Will that actually pay off or is it just one big gamble?
I think:
- Having things be fun for players/users may make them more likely to join. People want to build things together. May help alleviate the "join a federated social network to talk about federated social networks" problem
- Having things be fun for me is good too :)
Also, if we focus on letting people set up "realms" that don't necessarily have a universal game state it's not that hard (but some realms can voluntarily share, and you can reuse your identity)
If it doesn't pan out, the fediverse is doing pretty good right now. Maybe I can introduce some new and interesting things.
