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 Do you mean like "farmville" or "mafia wars"?
@tealturtle no, more like a MUD you can spin up for you and your friends.
@cwebber MUD type thing sounds fun to me.
