Thank ya frnvpr, maybe it’s time to start letting the peoples in on the plan.
Step 1) build the demo.
This is basically what your seeing get built.
Step 2) acquire the capital to buy my own time. It’s wild to me how hard this is, but I’m building up savings, but I will need help.
As a canadian I’m eligible for to win a grant (50k), deadline is feb. If I can land this, it covers step 2 if not I’m on my own, and ill be looking for support.
I’m desperately trying to avoid the old system. I see how badly it’s failing both the creators, and the consumers. All the currently available resources for startups in my field, funnel you to the hands of the greedy suits. I’m sure I’ll be putting out more of my thoughts on this, but just know I see it as one of the main reasons the vr games world currently sucks.
Step 3) build the MVP game!
Building the core of the game experience. I’ll use this to chat with Facebook, quest and start the talks about marketing.
Step 4) add in the concepts of a dao
This will be where I’ll need the most help. As I’m doing all this solo, I’ll eventually hit my limits, of what I can do/ learn in an acceptable amount of time. I would like to build out a Dao that controls this games future. Ideally it’ll be owned by the people who play it, and those that help fund it. They’d/we’d have direct votes into what gets added/what bugs are fixed, and aquiring the funding for it. This is a super rough concept in my head, but that’s the end target. Turning this concept into a reality, is where I’ll be needing help.
Step 5) nft’s
These little cars are a perfect medium for nft’s. Something like nft auction for one off cars. I wanna play around with this. I was thinking of also auctioning off some of the original art as nfts, to help fund the games progress.
In conclusion, I’m not 100% of what the realities of help look like :P. I’m still very new to this world, and a good deal of my focus ends up elsewhere ><. That’s why I’m here, I was just planning on seeing how it organically progresses.
Some of the questions I have for the gang;
What are some of the steps I should have in mind, for starting up this dao?
What are the realities of financing a project like this, in this kind of setting? I do not mean to be rude, I just really have no concept.
How best to grow the community around this game? Should I be thinking of what the terms for the Dao are, and set that stuff up?
What are acceptable terms, in a smart contract, to allow all parties to be content?
And here are some things you can be thinking of, that come from my side.
Marketing is gunna be a huge part of this. Our best bet is Facebook ads, VR influencers, and just growing a community.
I’ll be needing some help, on the backend programming. I have done a bit of this, but I know there are some clever people’s out there that might wanna join in on the fun.
I’ve been building out this art style, in a way that makes it very light, and quick to make. So thinking of good uses of it will be something to take advantage of.
Feel free to suggest things, and let me know your thoughts!
