whats a good way for higher to encourage experimentation within the network? acting upon ideas, failing early and often, with the goal being profitable passionate ventures. for the purpose of this convo… please don’t say funding

if your answer is funding… please present a realistic mechanism for funding that’s more beneficial than building profitable passionate ventures [something the global economy is built upon]

I have been working on an onchain gaming platform that allows anyone to run a game server and earn fees. The first game I am working on is a fast paced multiplayer browser game. You pay a buy-in to participate and get the tokens of the players that you kill. People can run game servers so people can battle for higher tokens. The higher community could also assemble a team and battle other teams within the game and share the winnings of all kills. The gaming platform, if a successful business, can accumulate a strategic higher reserve in the form of protocol owned liquidity ala OlympusDAO.

this is really interesting. are you building this entire gaming platform by yourself?

i can really get behind the idea that community members like you build something, and profit share with a pool, or give back to other higher creators to encourage further builds. hoping this becomes commonplace as we progress

So far I am building all of this myself, which is also why it takes a long time. If anyone wants to get on board and contribute there is a lot to do. Light the fire.

i think there’s opportunity in having a forum of sorts where individuals can ask for help from other folks

Do you have any specific form of that forum in mind? How should I go about getting the community invested in this? Whatever the capacity may be.

not specific, no. what do you mean invested? would help to know in order to approach a way that gets people connected meaningfully. do you feel like asking for help in the channel isn't quite enough?

Thinking about another angle of possible contributions. The first game I am building right now is player vs player in a fast paced realtime environment. I wanted to call it something like "Bunnies hunting Dragons". In light of the Higher Beasts I saw a bunch of really cool art that in style and spirit would totally represent what I have in mind. There is a branding and vibing aspect. Bunnies and Dragons could spread the Higher Ethos and we could create some pretty cool lore around this entire onchain game arena.

"invested" in terms of interested to help and collaborate. The magic of the higher community is that whatever happens, happens organically. That is why so many different cool things come out of the brand. What it has not been helpful with was anything that was a specific ask. And I guess that is ok for what higher is. Concretely I would love to find people who want to play the game when I am ready. Ideally I would love to have somebody working on this too. Would also be open to find a co-founder type of person if it's a match made in heaven. I am super bad about the community and branding thing. So I am not really sure how to go about this right now.
