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 :)
@cwebber i have considered building something like second life using AP as a starting point
@kaniini Cool! I'm not planning on doing 3d games because I want the barrier to entry to build things to be as low as possible.
I will probably build MUDs or top-down 2d games using the Liberated Pixel Cup assets (which we designed the LPC style guide with this kind of project in mind)
